Bitcoin is torture proof. Sorry to disappoint.

Maybe. But how long can the person who knows the private key, or knows how to get the private key, or knows how to derive the private key, or knows who the other signatories of the multi-sig keys, how long can he hold out?

What will it take to break him?

If you believe there are people that are that powerful and diabolical to abuse that kind of power, then Bitcoin is needed more than ever to stop their evil.

You don't need much power to kidnap and torture someone for his private keys .Any street thug would suffice.

I think someone mentioned a kill-switch feature on a wallet. Maybe if somebody tries to move your coins without a seed, or during a certain time, the coins will be rerouted. Then the thug would just get pissed I guess. But fuck him

Yes, that will prevent him or any other guy from getting your bitcoin.But I somehow doubt you could walk out of that situation alive at that point, or at least with all your limbs attached.

Well Bitcoin is commodity, not a crimefighter Grin
