Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly preferred multisig over Shamir backups, saying the latter is “a recipe for ruin” for regular users.

Concerns over the security risks associated with cold wallets were sparked by X discussions among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin raising concerns about potential pitfalls.

Peter Watts, founder of NFT marketplace Reservoir, cautioned against the risks of using hardware wallets, citing the risk of losing seed phrases or hastily moving assets stored in bank safe deposit boxes, especially during unforeseen circumstances such as COVID-19. 19 Plague.

Counterpoint: When you use a hardware wallet, your biggest risk is yourself. Watch out for the footgun:
– Someone found the seeds you hid.
– You hide your seeds so well that you forget about them.
– You put the seeds in a safe deposit box at the bank and then moved abroad in a hurry due to the coronavirus😬 https://t.co/UzAV13wzPB

The conversation took a new turn when Vitalik Buterin advocated the use of multi-signature (also known as multi-signature) solutions to protect personal funds. Buterin did not reject the idea of ​​cold wallets, but emphasized the importance of cryptocurrency security, emphasizing decentralized security and favoring multi-signature setups that require multiple keys for transactions.

For the above reasons, multiple signatures (@safe) More than 90% of my personal funds 🙂

M-of-N, you hold some of the keys (not enough to block recovery), but others you trust hold the rest. Don’t reveal who others are, not even to each other.

Decentralize your security.

He emphasized the need for an “M-of-N” configuration, where some keys are held by users and other keys are held by trusted individuals, without revealing their identities to each other.

In response to Buterin’s proposal, Ethereum investor Tobby Kitty proposed Shamir, a backup method for splitting encryption keys or passwords into multiple parts called “shares.” Buterin acknowledged Shamir’s benefits, but warned that it was “much easier to mess up” than multisig, because so much of the secret had to be handled and stored carefully. If any of these pieces are lost or mishandled, it may be impossible to put your secret back together.
