<p>I was making a multisig account with 3 of my Bitcoin addresses. The multisig account needs 2 of 3 private key to spend the Bitcoins in there. Then, I came up with an idea that nobody on the internet (at least, nobody on the first page on google) had tried or thought about.</p>

# BIP38 on multisig? Does it work?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-10-30)

I was making a multisig account with 3 of my Bitcoin addresses. The multisig account needs 2 of 3 private key to spend the Bitcoins in there. Then, I came up with an idea that nobody on the internet (at least, nobody on the first page on google) had tried or thought about.

Can I use BIP38 encryption on the private keys (in multisig)?

Yes, you can use BIP38 with multisig.

It's not exactly a brand new idea, though. I've spoken with some people from Gem (<https://gem.co/>), that's exactly what their API lets you do.
