The Next MONERO Client Release Will Have Full Multisig Support. And a Definition of Multi Sig. for New Crypto Folks.


A great piece of news that has been coming for awhile. Let's learn together:


Solid cryptocurrency and their wallet solutions need key features to succeed. Not only does it need to be fungible, but it also needs secure storage solutions.

As things have progressed, Bitcoin users know this and to them, using multisignature support has really become normal.

Things are a different when it comes to most altcoins. Monero is a coin well known for its privacy and anonymity, and will receive multisig support soon. The code has been merged into the official dev. branch as this news broke last week. I wrote about it 7 days ago and many did not see the news or the post I guess.


Here is the official news on their Twitter feed last week:

Some Simple Definitions of Multi-Sig:

I zapped those last screenshots from here:

From the Dev. Side: GitHub.


This code has been under dev. for quite awhile now.

The new feature is now merged officially into the main branch of Monero development, after a rigorous testing period

Interested in checking out this code on Github??

For crypto folks, this is big in every way. It shows the cryptocurrency world that team Monero is hard at work making their product better and more secure.

We are not sure when to expect this new client, but it's good to know some of what features we can look forward to.

There's some other interesting features about this integration as well.

Multisig transactions & addresses, to be specific, are indistinguishable from regular Monero transactions & addresses, which is very different from Bitcoin and other coins that currently support multisignature solutions.


Quick Points:


-- In Bitcoin, regular wallet addresses begin with a “1”.

-- Multisig wallets instead, contain a “3” at the front.

-- With Monero, there won't be a way to tell the difference between regular and multisignature transactions and wallets.

That is QUITE an accomplishment for a currency focused on privacy and anonymity. Further, it may help other exchange platforms and services integrate Monero support in the future.

This will likely open up a whole host of new opportunities. Multisignature support is pretty significant!

Resharing this info from my post last week... Many people did not see this big news.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
