Solving Monero's Multi-Sig Usability Problem - WIP Paper + Looking for Collaborators

great initiative there
am not knowledgable about any of that, but i remember reading that so far the multi-sig experience is a massive pain for normal users, like it been clunky or somethin

from a brief reading, paper looks good too, and i remember seeing you on monero.jobs (with actual dev knowledges, which is not because working on unrelated AI tools that it would be that, those are different things)

so hopefully knowledgable contributors could look into it and do the contribution thing there
cheers, thanks on the initiative and the thread
:thumbup:

Went through the paper, sounds good.

When's the CCS campaign going up ?

@H1XMR CCS is actually a good idea, but only for the audit. I'll handle the rest on my own, for now.
Here are my working documents so far: (reviewed by claude fable-5)

• https://konkin.io/_docs/plenum_idea.html
• https://konkin.io/_docs/architecture_idea.html
• https://konkin.io/_docs/architecture_diagram.html
• https://konkin.io/_docs/usecases_idea.html

I'll vibe-code a polished UI first for you and anyone else who wants to criticize it.
Let me cook for a few weeks.

Update:
I’ve been working on this project since my last post and have already changed the technology and architecture twice.

To have a proper multi-sig wallet, you need more than just a wallet: you need group communication that is both technical and social.

If you have a permanent chat room, questions arise:

• How exactly are the users communicating?
• Do they use an already existing technology?
• If it’s peer-to-peer, how do their wallets discover each other?
• How is the identity of users handled?
• Is the group anonymous/Is metadata leaked?
• How is the state of the thing backed up? You can’t store everything in a seed key.

The project became more of a collaboration suite than just a wallet.

There are already collaboration suites, even cool agentic ones like Jack Dorsey's buzz.xyz — which I like, but its architecture is centralized and aimed at a corporate audience instead of cypherpunks.

So I decided to add more features to my idea and design a collaboration suite that is privacy-first and agentic-friendly (use local models only).
The multisig wallet will basically be a plugin after everything else is ready.

The new project is called https://moltrepublic.ai
You can check out the code here: https://github.com/otherfren/moltrepublic

The state is rough alpha. What works:

• User identities (deterministic seed)
• Membership and founding ritual
• Chat/communication (Nostr/Marmot + Tor)
• Automated (social) backups and restore from seed
• Threshold governance (like 2-of-3 multisig to change naming and settings of the DAO)

I’m currently working on a multisig wiki for agentic cooperation and task coordination within the DAO.
Once this is production-ready, stable, and (mostly) bug-free, I’ll have a solid base to implement the last piece: the actual multi-sig wallet.

The wallet will be the toughest part, and I could use help with that.

Is anyone interested in joining my quest?
I need testers as well, feel free to pull the latest version and run it!
