Multi Vendor Multisig
summary
Multivendor multisig reduces single-vendor failure by using different hardware and software (SeedSigner, Coldcard, Coinkite MK4/Coldcard Q) and keeps a wallet descriptor backup that is “private but not secret”; testnet modes let users fully rehearse restores. Passphrases act like a functional 2‑of‑2 and offer plausible deniability but risk typos and memory loss. Stateless devices and ephemeral seeds let one device temporarily sign multiple cosigners, lowering cost to experiment while increasing operational risk if that device is compromised.
