Can this be packaged as a distributable EXE? (and other thoughts) about seedsplit HOT 10 OPEN

That's why I asked for something like a self-contained .exe:

1. It will likely work on most windows versions
2. One can put it on a thumbdrive and instruct the other party to use it on a secure computer
   2a. If that's not suitable, the bootable iso option could be a verified image (by the project) that contains a minimal command line to execute the script
3. Dependencies are static and don't rely on anything else externally

Do you find a docker alternative better? I am wondering if people are more and more going to share their work using docker.

I don't think so really...

I'm talking more about passing the "wife test" or the "grandma test" - in general, thinking about how to pass along secrets to computer laymen in such a way that doesn't necessitate much know how and technical prowess

The usual trade-off is web-based I fear. Or some phone app to make it worst.

Hi, thanks for your comments. I can also see a need for something that is more aimed at laypersons in case of death. However the intention when I was not to protect against death , but for loss of my hw device. In that case I could just ask my friends and family for their shards.

That being said, pull requests are of course very welcome :)
