I've received many questions from people considering to set up a #Bitcoin multisig wallet but confused about the backup process, what should be backed up, and why.
🧵So here's a thread on backing up multisig wallets - what, why, and how.
Then on spending, you need to provide both the original script code which matches that hash, and satisfy any condition that the script may include.
The script is composed of the public key of your wallet and a few standard commands - and satisfying it requires the signature for that key, so both the script and signature can be constructed by having access to that one private key.
It's recommended that you keep it with each one of the cosigners/ seed backups so that you can recover regardless of the combination of signers you eventually use.

This contains the individual devices keys list, as well as everything in an output descriptor format (and a bit of extra data like wallet name etc.)
1. You need this information to recover the wallet.
2. Anyone with access to this information can see your wallet history.

"Blockchain technology is energy-intensive..." => No, it doesn't have to be.
Let's look at Proof-Of-Stake, an alternative to the energy-intensive Proof-Of-Work algorithm.
🧵🔽
1️⃣ A Quick Recap On Proof-Of-Work
A Proof-Of-Work algorithm requires miners to do a certain amount of work that is compute-intensive to gain access to a service or the right to do something. This algorithm, by design, also requires that the work done shall not ...
... be reusable for anything else than what it was performed for. This lies at the core of the security concept of a blockchain. To gain the right to append a new block to a chain and to get some currency as a reward, there is work to be done, and this work must be verifyable.
That work is a race between different miners. Many miners try to compete and to be the first to find the answer to a problem presented to them. This implies that a lot of energy is wasted as only the first correct solution is accepted.
