I'll have to check that out.
A follow-up on my initial post... I did just successfully create, sign, and
transmit another 2-of-3 transaction, so once again, I'm sorry I bothered this
list. But since I did (and am now doing so again), I'll give a little more
background on what we've been up to. It's not quite as simple as what I've
shared thus far.
We have built a tool from scratch in C++ that is kind of a Swiss Army knife of
Bitcoin. It does all sorts of key and address conversions, hash functions,
encoding and decoding, script disassembly, BIP38 encryption/decrytion, the
Shamir Secret Sharing that I've posted about here on this list before, and
transaction building and signing. It has its own wallet and it's own UTXO cache
that contains only TXOs that are relevant to the objects in its wallet. It
synchronizes its cache by scanning bitcoind's block data files. (It memory maps
them and can do a full scan of the entire block chain in about a minute!) The
wallet can contain keys, seeds, and multi-signature aggregates (which in turn
can comprise keys and seeds). What we've been testing is deriving sequences of
multi-sig P2SH addresses from a set of public seeds, sending bitcoins to those
addresses, then using our tool to find those outputs in the block chain and to
create transactions that redeem them, and then signing those trans
actions by supplying the private seeds to the tool.
Our tool is quite a bit easier to use than Bitcoind. (I was frankly appalled at
the command-line syntax that was necessary to get Bitcoind to sign a P2SH
multi-sig transaction.)

currently working toward using OP_RETURN in a provable solvency scheme.)
