Looks very nice! 😍 πŸ›’ One question though, is the seedsafe compatible with the SSS wallets created by the Trezor wallet? The Shamir Split Seed uses 20 or 33 words. Whenever I guide people to create their own wallet I always recommend using the Shamir Backup on the Trezor as it is the easiest and safest way to store your bitcoin. A compromise of a single key πŸ— won't result in theft or loss of your coins.

There are multiple options. For 20,24 or 33 words you could multiply the number of disks for your need. The question is if the Shamir split is optimal. Looking at the current single sig + passphrase options or multisig options I believe these suit better than the Trezor option. In general we prefer to use open source, bitcoin only, air gapped options for signing. Currently only @SeedSigner @Foundation Passport and @Blockstream Jade are options in that respect. It depends on who you’re helping with the setup and to what extent they should go with this. It would actually be nice to share our work we did with bitsave and bitcoinvoorbedrijven on this. If you want more info I can get you in touch with our group.
Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. The Shamir Secret Sharing, is entirely open-source and offers versatility by allowing integration with passphrases and multisig configurations as needed. For instance, one can restore a Shamir Backup using Electrum, not just Trezor. My preference for Shamir Backup over multisig is due to its operation at the wallet level, ensuring the security of all assets within, not limited to Bitcoin, whereas multisig typically secures only Bitcoin transactions. While combining both is possible to enhance key management strategies, it is not a common practice. Many of the people that consult me hold various digital assets (ugh yes but I don't judge), which are also protected by Shamir's method. The choice to exclusively use Satoshilabs as a wallet provider is based on their established reputation as pioneers in hardware wallets and pooled mining. Although minor vulnerabilities exist that may necessitate wallet recovery, a simple factory reset can address these issues and curb hasty financial decisions. Shamir Backup is favored for its straightforward approach to digital legacy planning, allowing each family member to possess a unique key, with an additional key safeguarded by a legal professional.
