Thanks. I look forward to the feedback.

Hey,

you have done something great! I will have a look at the code within the next 10-12 days and get back to you with some feedback!

cheers.

Small update - I've added a few new features.

  • Allow any m-of-n (not just m-of-3) transactions
  • Support for partially signing transactions
  • Support for adding signatures to raw transactions


With the above, ms-brainwallet should work well for doing things like escrow and without to share private keys or have all the private keys in one place.

Hope people find it useful!

This is awesome!!

Are you still maintaining this? (i.e., should I be donating to you Wink )

Yes, although I haven't written new code for the site in a while, I still consider myself responsible for its operation.

If you want to contribute, write some code Smiley

I love your work it is brilliant. Exactly something I was looking to play with.

So this is different than the sx implementation of multi signature brain wallets, they don't seem to be compatible.

Well, thank you! I'm working on a few new improvements that I think are really cool.  

Speaking of sx, do you know in which way the multisignature transactions are incompatible? I'll check it out myself later, as well.

I am a bit of a novice just tinkering,  I made an sx multi Sig brainwallet 'password1' 2 and 3, and it comes up with a different address than when I put the same passphrases in your tool.

As a side note, it appears that multi Sig brain wallets are not being brute forced, as nobody has stolen the small amount I sent to that address.

Your tool is much easier to work with than the sx tool (which is why that value is still stuck in the above mentioned brainwallet)

How are you generating the public keys for those passwords? Typically I would use the standard brainwallet.org site and copy the public key into my site. sx may use a different hashing method than the default brainwallet site, too.

Also, did you check all 6 orderings?

This is a great project ..

(also bitgo.com)

I checked out bitgo - their Bitcoin Gift protocol is actually this exact thing, indeed.  They don't use BIP32, but that's fine. My BIP32 stuff is still experimental.  Good on Bitgo! Nice to see more multisignature stuff around.

Code Review Bounty - 2 slots at 0.25 BTC each.

I need someone to review my bip32 code.  It's in JavaScript and freely accessible. 

This is the pull request I made to brainwallet that includes bip32 master key generation:

https://github.com/brainwallet/brainwallet.github.com/pull/35

It looks like the brainwallet guy is going to take his time in processing this, so in the meantime I'd really like it if someone could review the changeset and post feedback. In particular, I'm looking for people with good community standing (you're a well-known and respected programmer on the forums) and that your response is actually meaningful.  I want to have some respected people here give a thumbs up or thumbs down on the security and correctness of this bip32 javascript implementation.

Any takers?

I have considered Shamir's secret sharing and while I think it'd be complementary to this brain wallet strategy, I think it's better implemented in a separate project.  It seems like using secret sharing for your brain passphrase (key2 in the OP) could yield added security.

You should add Shamir's Secure Sharing Scheme support for additional security AND loss/destruction prevention.

Just a quick update:

This codebase now supports BIP32 keys (3 at a time!) and also correctly sorts public keys in the redemption script before using them.  You can also now enter private keys in any order and they'll be signed correctly.

If anyone ends up using this, I'd be happy to hear how it works out for your - but definitely only test with small amounts, as this is still alpha!

I decided that in order to get people to test the idea out it would be convenient if I just implemented it in JavaScript.  So tonight, I've added the ability to generate and spend P2SH multisgs using the Brainwallet.org codebase as a starting point.  

The implementation is here, but be warned: it hasn't been tested thoroughly!


I'd love to hear some feedback.

Hey Sarchar -

I think you and I have been thinking the same thing :-)

I have an online version of this implemented at bitgo.  https://bitgo.com.  It probably doesn't offer all the combinations of key creation that you're looking for yet, but send me an email ([email protected]) and I'll send you an invite.  Would love to get more feedback.

Cool, I'm glad someone else has been thinking about this.  I actually have developed two scripts (a create and a spend) in Python that will produce the proper transactions to accomplish this.  I could publish them if anyone's interested.

What kind key combinations does your implementation allow?  Does it work offline?
