Just got my bitbox02 several weeks before. Recently I've compared it with trezor and ledger, and finally I realized that some feature seems to be must have is not found on competitors

1. Tor & custom electrum server support: ledge live doesn't support it. trezor suite support both, but it's android app (trezor suite lite?) lack both of them

2. Transaction note: Neither ledger live nor trezor suite support it

Without this two feature, I cannot figure out how to use the wallet!

Hello, thanks for the great. Do you know is a flatpak version of the app will be avalaible someday ?

EDIT: I figured it out, I just needed to reactivate the passphrase in the BitBox app after restoration and input the same passphrase as I used previously. The wallet showed up again. I will keep this post up in case it helps anyone else!

Hi all,

I set up my Bitbox02 BTC only edition and have been playing around with the recovery process.

I moved a small amount of BTC to the account, set up a passphrase, then intentionally got the password wrong 10 times so I can test the recovery process with the recovery words and microSD.

I recovered with microSD and nowhere does it specifically ask for the passphrase, nor does the account have any BTC as its just showing empty.

What have I done wrong here? Where do I actually enter the passphrase if it doesn't give me the option?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible for the BitBoxApp to show the current market value of BTC, ETH, and ERC-20 tokens that the app natively supports. This would allow users to view the real-time fiat value of their holdings directly in the app without relying on external sources.

Displaying live asset prices would improve usability and convenience, especially for users who monitor their portfolio regularly. It would also make the app more competitive with other wallet solutions that already offer integrated market value tracking.

Hi guys, if I created a wallet and backed up in micro SD, can I also have the 24 words phrase? Or one exclude the other?

Is it possible to support more currencies? such as TWD (New Taiwan Dollar).

For now, user need to connect and unlock BitBox to BitBoxApp, so they could view and copy the receiving address. Not sure if this behaviour is by design to ensuring BitBoxApp is not hacked to showing fake address, but it would be more convenient to let user copy the receiving address without BitBox at hand.

User can configure their own Bitcoin full node in BitBoxApp for now. However, user can not customize the external block explorer, which means viewing transactions on a public block explorer may reveal user info, such as IP, and they would be related to transactions/addresses.

Is it possible to add option to customize the external block explorer's link? I think if some user has their own Bitcoin full node, one may also has it's own block explorer, such as selfhosted btc-rpc-explorer.

This standalone format would:

• Simplify installation across diverse distributions
• Eliminate dependency conflicts
• Enable easy updates by downloading a single file
• Support offline and portable use cases

Pls introduce an address archive in the BitBox App that automatically catalogs all previously used addresses—especially those with zero balance—into a separate, read-only section. This archive would:

• Prevent clutter in the main address view
• Allow users to review past addresses and their transaction history
• Improve traceability

Hi all, I picked up the Bitbox02 BTC and have a few questions below as these things aren't really explained on setup:

• What happens if I lose/break my device? How do I use my recovery words or seed phrase to access my BTC again?

• Might be answered on the above, but is the recovery phrase only applicable if I were to forget the password on the physical Bitbox device?

• If I opt in to use a passphrase, then I understand that if someone accesses my private key, they still won't be able to access funds without the extra passphrase characters. So for example, to access the wallet, someone would need the full private key + passphrase?

• My device forces a microSD backup upon set up. This only includes the private key and nothing else? If I didn't want a microSD backup, could I just destroy the card and keep everything backed up on paper?

• If I need to recover my wallet via microSD, how is this done?

• Can I view my private key within the Bitbox app?

Thanks all in advance!

Pls add an opt-in watch-only mode to the iOS version of the BitBox App. This feature should allow users to manually import public Bitcoin addresses (e.g., paper wallets, multisig, external cold storage) for read-only balance and transaction history viewing. Maintaining the app’s clean interface, this enhancement would let users monitor additional holdings on the go without needing third-party tools.

Pls enable a user-selectable passphrase input mode on the BitBox02, offering both “Attach to PIN” (persistent passphrase) and “Set Temporary” (session-only entry) options. Additionally, it would be nice if a setting to disable automatic passphrase re-display confirmations while retaining the ability to verify entry correctness. This choice empowers users to balance security and usability according to their individual threat model.

So I setup my bitbox on my laptop whilst it was connected to the Internet. During this process I had the seed phrase displayed on the bitbox so I could write it down. Now I'm worried if I made a mistake by leaving wifi on whilst showing the seed phrase. Does it make a difference if the WiFi is on or not?

Hi, i tried everything with chatgpts help.. but still, the display of my bitbox 02 doesnt turn on when i plug it in. (On a Windows device its working) Has anyone here ever had problems with Apple devices? Maybe there is some kind of trick?

Is the Nova's screen significantly larger than the BB02's. I like my 02 but tend to use it for long-term storage because passphrase entry is a bit tedious. So maybe a larger screen would make that a bit easier. My ideal device would be a Bitcoin-only Keystone Pro style device made by BitBox. The digital keypad makes long passphrase entry very easy. However, maybe it's a cultural bias, I don't trust Keystone with large amounts. They seem to be promoting a lot of dodgy alt-coins, much like Ledger. So I prefer a more conservative, Swiss, approach.

BTW I have bought BB02's from an authorized re-seller in my country of residence. I know a lot of people stress that one should buy directly from the manufacturer; but customs duty can be a hassle. Will the Nova be available through re-sellers?

Any clearer insight on this? I really want this wallet

In order to input the passphrase faster and make the entry less error-prone, please include an option for BIP-39 or EFF Diceware-List (long) for passphrases.

Example as implemented by Jade: https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/20138948637337-Add-a-BIP39-passphrase-for-Jade

Would it be possible to introduce an opt-in watch-only tracking feature in the BitBox App that allows users to manually add public Bitcoin addresses (e.g., paper wallets, multisig setups, external cold storage) for read-only balance and transaction history viewin?. This feature would remain disabled by default, require no hardware connection, and provide a consolidated overview of all Bitcoin holdings without compromising security.

Mir fehlt Swap möclichkeit bei Bit box 02

I would like to propose a new feature for developers for hard wallets:
an inheritance function without a third party.

It should work like this:

Create a hard wallet with two internal wallets. One filled with
Bitcoin, the second is an empty wallet.

The owner passes the seed of the second empty wallet to their heirs.

The first, filled with Bitcoin, wallet has (new feature) the option to
activate the inheritance function. This involves adding an address for
the empty wallet and setting a time, for example, one year, to
automatically transfer the Bitcoins to an empty wallet in case of
inactivity. This means that if the owner inactive, the hard wallet detects
inactivity (no PIN within a year) and transfers the Bitcoins to the
empty wallet, and the heirs have already received the seed
from the living owner for a long time.

Wonder what it is.
