It is currently only usable for technical users but a greater availability for this feature can be expected in the future. Multi-signature can, for example, allow an organization to give access to its treasury to its members while only allowing a withdrawal if 3 of 5 members sign the transaction. It can also allow future online wallets to share a multi-signature address with their users, so that a thief would need to compromise both your computer and the online wallet servers in order to steal your funds." | ||

This can be used by an organization to give its members access to its treasury while only allowing a withdrawal if 3 of 5 members sign the transaction. Some web wallets also provide multi-signature wallets, allowing the user to keep control over their money while preventing a thief to steal funds by compromising a single device or server." |

Live preview: (Merged)
Some texts about multisig are a little outdated and inaccurate now (describe it as a soon-to-become-usable feature). I've tried to refresh these texts, and took the opportunity of improving them with more concise and relevant examples.
