Thank you Tim and Jonas!  This looks amazing!  One quick question; you 
write:

By "public recovery data", I assume you mean that security is not 
weakened by the data being made public.  However, are there any privacy 
implications?  For comparison, if everyone knows what BIP32 HD path I 
use, that doesn't weaken my privacy; but if everyone knows my BIP32 
xpub, that pretty much destroys my onchain privacy.  Where (if anywhere) 
does ChillDKG recovery data fall on this spectrum?

Thanks again!,

-Dave
