Multisig is not "anti-wrench" and implying that is misleading and possibly harmful.

multi-sig AND multi-location does defeat the classic wrench attack problem... is that clear...

That's obviously not clear if they need your tweet to clear that up. And, even with multi-location, multisig is not "anti-wrench" in any meaningful way; believing otherwise is broken threat modelling, thus potentially harmful.

can u explain... you're not really saying anything... details...

I'm saying something, just not explaining. But you're partially right, so just give me a sec.

1/ Multisig (incl. multi-loc) relates to asset security while "anti-wrench" relates to personal security. I see what they mean when they conflate both, but doing so is a flawed mental model and detrimental to any well informed security decision.

Multisig DOES increase your defensibility against a wrench attack. We are aware of every scenario your outline, and communicate every one of those to our clients. Multisig does not guarantee you won’t be attacked. But it does make capturing funds much harder.
