if one starts out with a single signature cold wallet, and later, bitcoin rises a lot, or one acquires more bitcoin, or both, and it becomes more worth it to switch to multisig, what would be the best way to do that? Can anyone refer us to some good articles or tutorials on how we should go about that? thnx
The first reply has given a guide on different multi sig and between the two i will advice you go for the 2-of-3 multisig, my reason been that even without access to one of the keys the remaining two keys can be used to make transactions from the wallet.
Another thing is multi sig is definitely more secure than single sig depending on how it is setup was done and how the wallet is protected, you cant use the same device to actually set up multi sig walle, each co-signer should have a different device for the wallet to avoid a single point of failure if anything arises.
So if the devices for the multi sig arent available just simply set up a single sig cold wallet and add passphrase to the wallet as secondary layer to it. This way the wallet is at least more secure than the normal single sig wallet.
