Hi,

On the Lockbox documentation page https://bitcoinarmory.com/about/using-lockboxes/ it's stated that:

"There is no compromise to security by using a lockbox multiple times, and we would encourage you to use a lockbox as many times as necessary if it matches your security and convenience needs."

This comes as a surprise to me, having heard time and time again that address reuse is bad, and having seen the consequences of address reuse in the Android SecureRandom bug. Is lockbox (multisig) address reuse different in any way from the single address case, that would lessen the risk? As a computer security layperson, how would I go about evaluating the risk involved in reusing lockbox addresses?

Thanks for this great new feature and would appreciate some insight on this topic.
