Note: ‘Total number of copayers’ is the number of people or devices that will have access to this wallet. ‘Required number of signers’ is how many of these people or devices will have to manually authorize a transaction before it can be sent.

Why use a shared wallet Account In Nigeria, Kenya And Tanzania?
1. Security: A single user with multiple devices can use a shared wallet to increase security of transaction capabilities.
This way, even if your smartphone is stolen, the thief would be unable to spend from the shared wallet without authorization from the additional cosigners (i.e. one of your other devices).
2. Accounting: A shared wallet gives all cosigners access to the transaction history of a single wallet.
3. Third party escrow or mediation: For making a bet or buying something online.
4. Voting on use of funds: An organization can be set up to only be able to send a payment after reaching a required threshold of authorizations.
Remember!
Multisig wallets are just like normal wallets,—no exception: each cosigner within a shared wallet has a unique private key which grants them (partial) access to the wallet. It is very important to have all cosigners create backup their shared wallet(s)!
Warning: If you create a wallet where 3-of-3 cosigners are required, then if one cosigner loses his or her device (and doesn’t have the backup), or refuses to sign a transaction, then the funds within that wallet will be inaccessible to all participants! For this reason, it is not recommended to create shared wallets that require the signatures of all participants.
As you can see, multi-signature wallets are useful for a number of reasons. To create your own shared wallet download the Bitcoin.com Wallet app today!
