BlueWallet 2/3 PSBT Multi-sig: Keystone + ColdCard + SeedPicker
Keystone firmware versions V1.1.1 (BTC-Only) or newer support PSBT Muti-signature functions. Detailed instructions below will explain how to create a 2-of-3 PSBT Multi-signature wallet with Keystone, ColdCard and a SeedPicker as 3 participant co-signers. Bluewallet V6.2.0 (or newer) will be used as a watch-only wallet.
I. Preparation
1. Firmware version V1.1.1 (BTC-Only) or newer running on Keystone Essential or Pro models.
(Please read How to upgrade firmware for more details.)
2. ColdCard upgraded to firmware version V2.1.0 or later.
3. http://seedpicker.net/ run on an offline PC/Mac.
4. Smartphone with the BlueWallet V6.2.0 or later downloaded.
