Trying to figure out if lianabitcoin (nprofile…a489) is right for me. I currently use a geographicially distributed 3-of-5 multisig to avoid single points of failure as well as a wrench attack. What I would love to be able to do is time lock a majority of the funds to dissuade attackers from coercive attacks (i.e. kidnapping a loved one). A multisig doesn't help here if the attacker knows I can gather a quorum of keys in a reasonable amount of time. However, a time lock of 3 months or more makes this attack much more costly since it's hard to hold a hostage for that long. So my questions here:
1. Liana is open source. Do we know how many people are reviewing this code?
2. Can you look at a time locked address on chain and prove that it's time locked?
3. Once a time lock expires, are there any on-chain transactions that must happen? This is in regards to the unpredictability of future fees.
4. This is fairly specific, but could you do a 3-of-5 multisig time locked for 3 months (or block equivalent) and then have a reversion to a single sig in a year (i.e. a recovery key)? Basically asking if double time locks are possible on the same UTXO.
