This is amazing, specially because I can upload my own keys.

I have in the past been a vocal critic if Coinkite, but now I take it back.

This is a very intelligent move and this does offer the security that is in line with Bitcoin principles - actions speak louder than words and in this case they have listened to criticism and acted correctly.

I've always told people in the past the Coinkite's model - trust Coinkite to handle security for you - has a valuable place in the Bitcoin ecosystem, however it's certainly not for everyone. I personally use Coinkite to store a portion amount of my Bitcoin savings as a diversity measure, but I'd never trust them with everything.

But this new multisig support gives you the option to have the best of both worlds: Coinkite helps keep your Bitcoin's safe, and so do you. And I'll probably move the Bitcoins I currently store at Coinkite to a Coinkite multisig account myself.
