Thank you for your contribution.

  • Interesting to see the original guide request by @timcliff, this could have large implications on the Steem blockchain.
  • Overall your coverage of the topic is well detailed.
  • Appreciate you making edits to include alternative approach using beempy, makes the tutorial more elaborate.
  • Good use of screenshots and output results. Gists are quite helpful too! Few additional comments there would have been more helpful.
  • Also loved your additional thoughts on the whole concept overall.

Good luck winning the bounty :)

Thank you for your review, @mcfarhat! Keep up the good work!

I really wanted to write pretty much this exact tutorial for a few months, but sadly I couldn't motivate myself to tinker around with that stuff. Sadly school is too demanding this year, and if I technically have free time (like right now for example), I either want to do nothing, or have other more important things to do :(((
But looking at your post, I know that it's better than my post would've been. For sure ;-)
Let's hope I can finally get myself to write that post about me taking away those delegations D:

Thanks for your post, it's neat :P

LGTM, so far. I can at least run these scripts. I haven't dug any deeper yet.

bucky:multisig-guide-beem (master)$ python3 get_transaction.py
usage: get_transaction.py [-h] --account ACCOUNT --to TO --amount AMOUNT
                          --asset ASSET [--memo MEMO]
get_transaction.py: error: the following arguments are required: --account, --to, --amount, --asset
bucky:multisig-guide-beem (master)$ python3 set_authorities.py
usage: set_authorities.py [-h] [--key-weight key weight]
                          [--account-weight account weight] --threshold
                          THRESHOLD --account ACCOUNT --role ROLE
set_authorities.py: error: the following arguments are required: --threshold, --account, --role
bucky:multisig-guide-beem (master)$ python3 sign_and_broadcast.py
usage: sign_and_broadcast.py [-h] --trx TRX [--append-signature] [--broadcast]
sign_and_broadcast.py: error: the following arguments are required: --trx
bucky:multisig-guide-beem (master)$

These are expected results since I didn't set up a multi-key account. I'll dig a little deeper later on.

.

Everything seems to work as expected. I'm partial the gist approach because it's all in one place. :)

.

I basically did exactly this but was too slow about it, so I'm pretty sure it works.

The first part can be done much, much more easily with beempy's allow command.

allow -a targetaccount --permission active --weight 10 signingaccount

and then when you get to the last one add --threshold 40 after the weight. (Don't do it before or you won't be able to add new ones without the owner key or building a multisig transaction to do it.)

.

In fact I haven't been able to do it with the owner key; beempy crashes out with "Unnecessary signature(s) detected."

Thank you so much for participating the Partiko Delegation Plan Round 1! We really appreciate your support! As part of the delegation benefits, we just gave you a 3.00% upvote! Together, let’s change the world!

Even with a multi-sig active authority, transfers can still be done with the owner authority (currently requiring only one sig with the example account).

However, the exact same concept can be applied to the owner authority as well. This has to be done carefully, since a mistake there could render the account unusable and the funds locked.

In looking for an easy way to get my test account usable again, I discovered that a master password reset will automatically change the weight of all that account's native keys to the Threshold weight, presumably including the owner key, though I didn't test for it. I don't know that there's any way to prevent that.

I would presume account recovery behaves similarly.
