    Well I've been thinking a lot about the future of multi-sig. Obviously with  an individual account on the client you have control of both signatures. In a joint account you have control of 1 sig and your partner/counterparty has control of the other. The only downfall of such a joint account is that if one or the other drops off the earth never to be found again, if their partner doesn't have their private key and password (which would be highly unlikely) then those coins in that account are lost/burned forever.
    So I've been thinking on the matter, if we  could have multiple options for joint account setups we could correct this and use it to our benefit. If for example, when a joint account is created, what if it asks you if you want a both sides to have manual signature capabilities or just one side to be manual and the other side to be 'auto-only'!
     
    So with that in mind, inject that concept into an exchange account. You'd have  a joint account set up with them where they are always in auto-sig, so you still have full control of your coins, yet your side of the account can either be auto or manual. If you want to buy or sell your coins you'd have the choice to either manually or auto-sign the approval.

    So let's say someone hacks their system and tries to steal BitBay... before they could do it they'd need to hack your computer as well!

    We could make it even better. With existing 2fa on exchanges, let's say the investor's computer gets hacked, his coins on the exchange would still be protected as long as he had 2fa in place and they don't have the capabilities to break his 2fa!! Any coins he doesn't have on the exchange would be in a separate personal account where he could spread onto to different devices! So the hacking issue would be nearly impossible!

    So now with this technique we could have a trustless exchange to interact with the trustless client!!! All of this with minimal retrofitting from the exchanges end - they are in auto-signature mode!

    In theory bitbay marketplace could be all you need for your online purchases and wealth transfer and storage. Who needs other currencies if the bitbay market took off in a huge way. Smiley
