[Here it is](https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/928). I gave a few implementation options based on our conversation here, while trying not to be too prescriptive.

The Dollar Dilemma in Egypt

1. Find the place on Earth where you feel that your heart is "at home"
2. Build your own house/homesteading in that place, with your own hands
3. Learn and improve your skills in self sustaining life. Enjoy the results, live every day as it would be your last day on Earth. Life is short, enjoy it.

This is a long journey, maybe a lifetime journey. Take it easy and organize your life in decades not in days.

Fun Fact Friday - Best Fun Fact Gets 10,000 Sats

In a single sig wallet, it's sufficient simply to know the 12 or 24 word seed phrase to recover the funds. This makes for a really nice user experience, since it's relatively easy to write them down on paper.

I thought that a 2-of-3 multisig was similarly simple, but it turns out that's not the case. Intuitively, as a user, I should only need 2 of the 3 seed phrases to recover any funds, but in reality, at least on Blue Wallet, you also need a "backup coordination file," which consists of all 3 public keys, the derivation path, and the script format. Without it, your funds are lost if you lose one of the 3 seeds.

This isn't a great user experience, especially if you're trying to explain a multisig vault to one of your grandparents. Writing seed phrases down on paper is easy for most people to understand, but having to download a bespoke file and securely save it on a thumbdrive makes everything more complicated, and frankly unintuitive. This inevitably scares people off, I fear, from what is otherwise a great way to make people more comfortable with cold storage.

Keeping the backup file on a third party provider, like Unchained, isn't really a solution, because at the end of the day, Unchained still recommends that you backup the data yourself, which is confusing and somewhat cumbersome.

The only long-term robust solution I think is for the backup file to be stored onchain, ideally in an encrypted fashion such that you only need 2 of the 3 private keys to recover the data. This could be done relatively cheaply in witness data, like a taproot inscription, and it would mean that the average user only ever needs to worry about maintaining access to 2 of the 3 seeds. In the event the multisig vault needs to be recovered, the user only needs to provide 2 seeds, and perhaps a date range of when the vault was created, and software can scan the relevant witness data and recover the file.

Do you think a scheme like this could work? Curious if others find this to be a relevant problem.

Can we make 2-of-3 Multisigs a better user experience? 

... Or should I say *Booking*?.. 🤫

I've chosen to start this journey with Harari's book "Sapiens", and it's been a good choice so-far. 

I've read more than half of the book's *509* pages in under *three days*, which might sound like Rookie-numbers to some, but for me it's quite the achievement.

Especially the first eight chapters really intrigued me, chapters nine - twelve were still interesting enough, but not as good as the first eight. The chapters I'm currently reading aren't that interesting to me yet, I hope that there'll be a change in that soon.

The more "interesting" chapters discussed the *cognitive* and *agricultural* revolution, the current chapters discuss the *scientific* revolution, which as paradox as it sounds was the one I initially had the highest hopes for... 😄 

There's still a solid 180-or-so pages left, which I'm hoping to not only get to enjoy more than the ones I just read, but also finish before Friday.

I'm thinking about writing a summary about the things I've learned from the book, especially the first twelve chapters would be well-worth the effort I think (at least for me), and depending on how the following chapters evolve, maybe these too will earn a place in my summary. 😶‍🌫️

*Started to get frustrated that I couldn't really speak intelligently on most of the books I'd been reading, even though I felt like they impacted me while I read them*.

@Coyote_Cosmico

Summaries are going to be my take on trying to speak "intelligently" about the books I'll read, maybe something for you, too?

It's a pretty time-consuming task, but once finished it'll be a useful resource, or so I hope. 🥲

What about you guys? 

Would you be interested in a *very detailed* review about this book's contents?
