Title: Multiple Signature Bitcoin Account? Post by: shamaniotastook on February 26, 2013, 05:41:28 AM This is something that I am asking to hopefully save some time in unnecessary research and development. I think BitCoin does offer a mechanism to make it so that more than one signature is required to transfer BTC from an account? Please advise if you're aware of such a solution, or the merits/uses of such.
