MMT Summary

Here is a quick summary of the main threads over this fortnight Experiment. It was a chunky one!

@Alanna on the Data needed for weekly pays. This is more generally about starting to map out the needs of a group working with a multisig wallet - it's likely these will form the basis of user stories for our multisig software (if that's the direction we go!)

@peg wrote a quick guide on Using Electrum's 'Pay to many' functionality.

@Dan Hassan forked alannas thread Report: Tools for Transparency & Accountability. This is not alannas first time round the rodeo, nor the second, nor the third. Here is a quick overview of related projects in our neighbourhood.

dan and @Kieran on Setting up Bitcoin locally to manually make a bitcoin multisig wallet

peg responded to dan and kierans explorations by posting about Getting information out of 'raw' partially signed multi-signature bitcoin transactions

dan did some blockchain analysis on one of the mmt wallets. it was bound to happen at some point that an address or some private information would be posted publicly. by electing to work with a public blockchain and by electing to organise on bleeding edge p2p protocol (ssb) it was only a matter of time... this thread starts to unfold what it is possible to find out about wallets when an address is revealed.

peg on to centralise or not to centralise broke out into a fascinating discussion touching on the pros and cons of encouraging financial flows into ssb, on sharding and social backups as well as the beginnings of some specific directions the mmt can take moving forward. it was first here that we have started unpacking the possibility of a fusion of ssb with a btc multisig wallet.
