So far people seem to overweigh the complexity of multisig, and to overestimate their understanding of using a single signing device.</p>

<p>> Peanut butter definitely is. Even if you make it home-made you need to add some sort of oil to get the persistent creamy texture, but it naturally separates.<p>False, peanuts contain their own oil. Nothing <i>needs</i> to be added, not even salt.<p>Anything containing more than peanuts and salt should be referred to as something else, like peanut spread.</p>

<p>Another option is renting cloud GPUs only when you need them. A server with 8x B200 is around $32/hr.<p>Obviously depends on the use case and threat model, but that hardware is publicly available at far less than $500k upfront.</p>
