"OK I'm assuming you're using multisig already for something else - cold storage inheritance whatever. (If not - stop here.) Still here Great Your current multisig setup almost definitely a) shares your entire balance and transaction details with everyone else in your multisig quorum. Not great Even worse: What happens if the other signers in the multisig don't want to sign your transaction That's where we come in. Register a key and define a signing policy we'll give you a key - that we never see or even know about - and sign transactions only if they match the policy you first signed up with"

"A) Thanks B) Yeah @salvatoshi is right - i can't think of a way to hide the # of inputs you're asking to be signed (though I think we 'soft fail' if we try to sign an input and fail and just move on to the next input so maybe you can use dummies. should check that C) Naturally that moves the incentive to searching for information outside of the transaction to identify users.

"Depends on the nature of the compromise but I think 'not much' (with caveats ofc): - if the cosigner's keys leak I don't think it would be possible to match them up to the client keys they were aggregated with - if an advanced persistent threat actor were to compromise our signing server they'd only see zero knowledge proofs; they'd have to compromise multiple layers of infra and inject code to bypass the zk-proof gating - if they did pull that off they'd have to wait for a client to authenticate pull their encrypted key data upload a PSBT generate zk proofs from it submit them in exchange"

"Sigbash update: Passkeys Price Feeds and PSBT introspection Original beta announcement Xitter thread here: Six weeks of beta testing and I can separate out the feedback I've gotten so far into two broad categories: 1) The oracle is useless (because I don't really need it) and 2) The oracle is useless (because it doesn't do what I really need) For 1) - I definitely didn't appreciate how many users just wanted to submit a form to get an xpub or have an xpub signed without any conditions attached. That's great But also Sigbash v1 was kind of terrible for that - without any conditions every xpub"

"For 2): The original oracle could only check three conditions - the bitcoin network hashrate or the balance of a given Bitcoin address or the BTC/USD exchange rate. All conditions were evaluated at signing time. I got a *ton* of requests for new conditions to commit to so many that I refactored the entire oracle UI and backend. Now you can restrict Sigbash from signing a request for an xpub based on: *the price of 170+ fiat currencies precious metals or crude oil; *Treasury yields SOFR or the Fed Funds rate; *hashrate for a given mining pool or the entire network; *daily Bitcoin transaction"
