[Harry Potter] Remember the spell Voldemort cast on his ring? The one that would kill anyone who touched it in seconds, with no known cure? Why didn’t he use that for every horcrux?

It was for people who wear it. The locket was enchanted to do the same thing, but with a different method. The journal was enchanted to mind-control someone and eventually steal their life-force, which seems better. And all of them were protected with a number of things that would likely kill you.

Using the same spells to protect each horcrux seems counterproductive, since that would mean anyone that can get past one can get past them all. And if one of them does kill someone, it's likely people will figure out how to get around that for the next one. It's more useful to find new ways to protect each one.

Also, it was probably too difficult as it was. Dying sucks, but it's still one of the better ways of being permanently incapacitated. bu creating too many horcruxes, he risked someone would just not bother with them and encase him in cement or torture him into insanity instead.
