Alan Turing feared losing his savings if Germany invaded Britain, so he used the money to buy two 90 kg silver bars, buried them in the woods, and wrote down the location in code. Later on when he wanted to dig up the silver bars he was unable to break his own coded message and

JUST IN: @Bitkey proposes a new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) called Chain Code Delegation, a major step forward for multisig privacy. Instead of sharing full chain codes, it withholds them entirely. Cosigners get only the minimal info needed to sign a transaction, without

I’m so proud of our team. This BIP proposal is a huge privacy upgrade for multisig! 🧡 Even when sharing a key, you can now keep your wallet balance and transactions private. Bitkey implementation coming soon. Your wallet should be private — even from us.

Security, privacy, and ease of use shouldn’t be at odds. To help close the gap, Bitkey engineer @JurvisTan and Bitkey alum @JessePosner proposed a new bitcoin improvement that allows multisig wallet owners to control which keyholders can see full balance and transaction data.

The true test of self-custody isn’t just whether or not you hold your own keys. It’s whether or not you can protect them from loss, theft, coercion, seizure, and death, and still be able to make transactions when you need to, without a third party intermediary.

Hardware is a critical component of self custody. But it only solves part of the problem. We all know the mantra: Not your keys, not your coins. It’s long been the rallying cry for bitcoiners to move...
