Built an app today that you can clone and split your wallet descriptors into three shares using shamir secrets.
You can also reconstruct the wallet descriptor using the shares. And do it all offline.
Enjoy!

Nice idea!
Thank you!
What are Shamir secrets?
Good question, check out Shamir secrets online with an AI. Look at projects like Codex32.
Using it for keys currently isn’t pretty, because you need all keys to come together on place for reconstruction…
But for wallet descriptors, I think it’s great. It’s a way for me to split my wallet descriptor into three shares of cypher text. Any two shares enables me to reconstruct the wallet descriptor.
So I can have a share, my family can, and some legal inheritance planner can, and unless they collude, no one can see my financial activity. It’s just an extra step and tool for greater privacy!
Have you checked out the proposal for encrypted descriptors by nostr:npub1ejkyx6hvrs0v9tj3ft0qhpjwxdasfnfsessu2rtnuzhtp4866u2s00expu we also discussed it in a spaces recently.
What is your thought on that?
I have not heard of that yet, any link to the spaces or would you like to share some particulars further?
I saw you offer seed sleeves too, that’s awesome. Did you see it on miner racks first and figure it out yourself?
I’m a fan, and also creating a store but for the US. Would love to chat sometime about how your experience has been.
