It's a relative timelock, using the nSequence field, so it's currently limited to ~15 months. You can send your coins to yourself to renew the timelock.

We love thinking about how miniscript can solve real world problems. For instance, how could it help align the incentives for Outies and Innies?
a 🧵 about how #Bitcoin fixes Severance
(spoilers)
⚠️ Here's the problem:
💰️ Outie wants to get the big checks for working on the severed floor
☹️ Innie may be miserable, but has no way of telling Outie it's not worth it
💥 Incentives are not aligned
👇️
👛️ New wallet:
💡️ Lumon pays all severed employee salaries into 2-of-2 multisigs
🔑️ Outie gets a key
🔑️ Innie gets a key
❌️ Funds don't get transferred into Outie's spending wallet unless Innie signs
👇️
🤷‍♂️️ Innie doesn't have use for funds (nowhere to spend)
🗜 But Innie can refuse to sign
➡️ So Outie has incentive to pressure Lumon to pay attention to Innie demands
👋 What if Outie just decides to quit?
👇️
👨‍💼️ Innie wants to keep Outie coming back to work
👛️ New wallet:
💡️ Every year Lumon deposits bonus into a 2-of-2 with recovery key that can spend after 13 months
🔑️ Innie gets key
🔑️ Outie gets key
🔑️ Lumon gets recovery key
👇️
🚨️ If Innie and Outie don't agree to move bonus within 13 months, Lumon takes bonus
⏱️ But Innie can make Outie wait till next year's bonus hits
💡️ Lumon increases bonus size every year
💵️ Outie keeps coming back to get next bigger bonus
👇️
✌️ Outies and Innies have a reason to work together for mutual benefit
🤝️ Bitcoin is a means of aligning incentives for people in different circumstances
🤗️ Your Outie may not know how it feels to be an Innie, but they can still come to consensus (every ten minutes on average)

Jade is awesome! You can use it as one of your signers in a Liana multisig.

2025-03-26 15:16:18

Backup your keys/seeds
Backup your descriptor
Keys are how you spend your coins, descriptors are how your wallet finds your coins.
It's a good idea to at least keep a descriptor with each key backup.

What is a PSBT?
A Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction coordinates signing when keys aren't in the same place at the same time.
It turns your transaction into a file you can carry around with blank spots for the signatures.
https://m.primal.net/Ptps.jpg
👇️
When you create a Bitcoin transaction with a hot wallet (like on your phone) it usually gets signed then and there.
But if you use a hardware signer or have a multisig, all the keys might not be at hand - so how do you sign?
👇️
Here comes the PSBT!
It saves some data for your transaction to a file
- which coins
- how much to send
- where it's going
- fee-rate
You hardware signer can load the PSBT and sign
(after you double check the details)
👇
Where PSBTs really shine is coordinating multiple signers.
PSBTs can be combined, so key holders don't have to sign in any particular order.
Each signs the same basic PSBT which can all be combined later to form a valid transaction.
👇️
Example 1:
A business with a 3 of 3 multisig.
Each key-holder signs remotely, asynchronously.
Accounting combines the PSBTs.
Broadcasts the transaction.
👇️
Example 2:
A coinjoin transaction.
A coordinator creates a collaborative transaction.
Each participant verifies and signs the PSBT.
Coordinator combines and broadcasts whole transaction.
👇️
Liana Wallet loves PSBTs!
There's even a separate PSBT button on our home screen.
If you use Liana Connect, PSBTs for wallets you're part of automatically show up.
We see PSBTs as essential tech for businesses with Bitcoin treasuries.
👇️
History:
@achow101 drafted BIP174 in 2017, which described the PSBT standard.
It was merged into Bitcoin Core v0.17.0 in 2018.
The PSBT standard has seen strong adoption among wallets and is currently supported by most FOSS wallets.
👇️
Resources:
BIP174 (PSBT v0) by @achow101 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki
BIP370 (PSBT v2) https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0370.mediawiki
As usual, the @BitcoinOptech page on psbt's is excellent
https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/psbt/
@river has a good write-up too
https://river.com/learn/what-are-partially-signed-bitcoin-transactions-psbts/
👇️
A PSBT can have more signatures than it needs (a 3-of-5 where all 5 keys sign PSBT)
Sadly there is not much adoption for calling these Overly Signed Bitcoin Transactions.
There's always v2...

Don't be daunted! Multisig can help! You could create a 2 of 3 setup where you and your spouse each have a key and one is with an executor.
Lots of wallets are simplifying multisig setup and making it much easier!

GM! Have you been hearing about miniscript and thinking what the heck is miniscript?
Here's an easy explainer!
# What is miniscript?
Normal #Bitcoin Script is the set of instructions used to determine whether a particular coin can be spent.
Miniscript is a smaller set of pre-designed instruction chunks.
That's not very helpful though, is it?
In Bitcoin, every coin is locked with a locking script that gives instructions for how to spend it.
Nodes will only allow a coin to be spent if the tx has an unlocking script that follows these instructions.
Most coins have pretty simple locking scripts:
- Provide a signature
- Provide a public key
- check that the signature is valid for that public key
But they can also get a little wild!
multisig! timelocks! hash puzzles!
If you want to lock a coin with long list of complicated instructions...
It becomes difficult to:
- be sure of all valid spend cases
- predict the cheapest size tx to spend it
- combine it with other locking scripts
Enter miniscript! A small (mini) set of pre-designed chunks of instructions for your coins.
These mini chunks of Bitcoin Script are easier to reason about and automate in wallet software.
Using raw Bitcoin Script is a bit like playing tetris without being able to see which way the tetrominoes are oriented until they land.
Miniscript lets you play around with the tetrominoes on the way down.
Building complex Bitcoin scripts by hand is a recipe for disaster!
Miniscript ensures your script does what it says it does, nothing else.
Describe a script in Miniscript, and you get a corresponding Bitcoin Script that enforces only that.
A famous bitcoiner said something like:
Miniscript is Bitcoin's way of getting away with the fact that nobody really understand's Script.
# History:
- Initially conceived by Andrew Poelstra and Peter Wuille in 2019
- Further developed by @sanket1729 at @Blockstream
- Together with @achow101 and @darosior, they all wrote BIP-379 (Miniscript).

2025-03-20 15:43:21

- reply

heirs don't have to see your stack before you die.
In Liana, you ask your heirs for a pubkey when you set up your wallet. You use it to generate a spending key that will only be able to spend if your key hasn't spent in a prespecified length of time.
The heirs still need you to give them an output descriptor so they know how to use their key, but this could potentially be part of your will/estate planning (as trusting a lawyer/executor with it doesn't allow them any ability to spend).

2025-03-20 15:29:51

maybe also relative timelocks so beneficiaries keys only become active after your keys haven't been used in a while...

How do vaults work?
⌚️ Spending from a vault starts a countdown timer
🔒️ During timer, coins can only be sent back to the vault or to a preapproved emergency vault
💸️ After the timer expires, coins can actually be spent
