The mobile has a key, the desktop has\na key and a third-party security oracle has a third key.  The oracle\nwould have different security thresholds for countersigning the mobile.\n\nThis way you can have the same overall wallet on all devices, but\ndifferent security profiles on different keys.\n\nThat said, I do agree that mnemonic phrases should be portable, and find\nit unfortunate that the ecosystem is failing to standardize on phrase\nhandling.\n\nOn 2015-03-11 04:22 PM, Mike Hearn wrote:\n\u003e Users will want to have wallets shared between devices, it's as simple\n\u003e as that, especially for mobile/desktop wallets. Trying to stop them from\n\u003e doing that by making things gratuitously incompatible isn't the right\n\u003e approach:  they'll just find workarounds or wallet apps will learn how\n\u003e to import seeds from other apps.

There is a wide variability in the quality and security level\n\u003e     of wallet implementations and platforms. Each new device and wallet\n\u003e     software a user types their seed into increases their attack surface\n\u003e     and exposure to flaws.
