DevOps engineer in Thailand. I build systems that survive failure. Now: @PingMeAlive, a check-in that hands over a sealed letter if you go quiet.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

If I went silent for 7 days, who would notice? And what could they actually open?
I couldn't answer that for myself, so I built @PingMeAlive . You check in. Miss one and you get reminded. Only if you stay quiet does a sealed letter go out.
iOS and Android, very soon.

@HodlDee "Who needs access if" is the part most setups skip. I'd design that first and pick hardware second. A 2-of-3 your spouse can't operate is a very secure way to lose it.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@AndyBTCAdviser Agree. The trade-off people forget: an ETF comes with an inheritance process any lawyer already knows. With self custody you have to write that process yourself, or the keys are safe and the heirs are stuck.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@lopp Agree on custody. What an ETF really sells is the handover: a firm and a phone number your family already knows how to deal with. Self custody can match that, but only if you write the handover down yourself. Most people never do.

@arvidkahl Same rule I use at work: secrets live in a vault, agents get scoped short-lived tokens, never the master key. Side bonus: a vault with emergency access is also the only sane answer to "who gets into prod if I'm offline for a week?"

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@marclou Focus is overrated, bus factor isn't. Ten products is fine if each one keeps running while you're offline for a month. Honest question: how many of yours would?

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@CelineHycinth The underrated fix is boring: one person you send a daily "all good" to. If it doesn't come, they check on you. Turns "days before anyone notices" into hours.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@Mohitt_NFT @Tangem Clever form factor. Slightly dry question: if you went quiet for a month, would anyone in your family know that ring is a wallet? Great hardware still needs one person who knows it exists and what to do with it.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@TheBTCAdviser Moving everyone to the next "safe" device just swaps one single point of failure for another. Multi-vendor multisig for the keys, and a written plan someone else can follow for the people. The second part is the one almost nobody does.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@21RatesHQ Insurance pays out a number. It doesn't tell your family which wallets exist, where the hardware is, or who to call. My guess is most families wouldn't get stuck on the keys first, they'd get stuck on not knowing what's there at all.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@Liembriel @Tangem Seedless is nice for theft risk. The question I'd ask is the inheritance one: if the owner goes quiet, does anyone know the backup cards exist, where they are, and how access works? A card nobody knows about is just a card.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@arvidkahl Half of every enterprise vendor questionnaire is some version of "what happens if you disappear?" Source escrow, runbooks, a second admin. Personal software has no answer to that yet, and businesses pay a lot for the answer.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@lopp Same pattern shows up in inheritance. People split keys across vendors and devices, and the only one who knows how it all fits together is them. Multisig fixes the keys. The human is still the single point of failure unless someone else has the map.

[Pawel Fraczyk @pawelfraczyk]

@thejustinwelsh Would add one boring one: write down where everything is. Accounts, documents, who to call. Takes an evening, and it's the kindest thing you can leave the people who'd have to sort out your life if you couldn't.

@PhilKonieczny ile razy trzeba stracić 90% na altcoinach, żeby ręce stały się diamentowe? I czy wtedy już nie bolą, czy po prostu się zamykają na amen? 😁
