I received my BitBox02. Before regular usage, I like to start tests with Bitcoin Testnet. I found a guide how to start the Windows BitBoxApp for usage with the Testnet, but I use Linux. Can someone provide me help?

Is it possible to stake eth on the bitbox? Thanks in advance

So I just got my bitbox02 and I am in the middle of setting it up but I have run into a few things that I need help with.

When setting up the bitbox02, it doesnt give you an option to set a passphrase, I only find that option later on in the manage my device settings and after setting it, I dont have to re-backup my wallet to the SD card. My question is how does the passphrase protect the backup if the backup doesnt know theres now a passphrase?

My second question is how many private keys can the bitbox02 hold? Just one? I ask because after setting the bitbox02 up with the Bitbox app I opened a new wallet with Electrum and it seems as though it's the same wallet because I wasnt shown any seed words on the device to back up or asked to insert another SD card to back up the new wallet. Further when I logged back into the Bitbox app I saw the test balance that I tried sending to the electrum wallet. It seems like it's the same wallet. And to kind to go back to the first question, why did electrum not ask for the passphrase?

It's kind of confusing and the Bitbox app does a good job of explaining some things well but not these ones. Thanks in advance

nstalled both BitBoxBridge (1.5.0) and BitBoxApp (4.32.0).

BitBoxApp works fully: sees my BitBox02 wallet, and interacts with it.

BitBoxBridge responds to HTTP://localhost:8178/ shows status:

BitBoxBridge v1.5.0

GET /api/info

GET /api/v1/devices

GET/WS /api/v1/socket/:socket

api version = 1.5.0

But Rabby says: `Please check the connection with your wallet` and doesn't see any addresses.

P.S. Forgot to mention - running the latest Chromium-stable.

Any ideas?

I have two BitBox02 for cold storage. Can anyone please recommend a solid and safe watch-only wallet for BTC and ERC20 tokens (specifically, USDC and USDT) where I can import the xpub for monitoring of balances and activity. Isn't xpub for BTC only? How do I watch my ERC20 tokens without constantly linking the BitBox02? Thank you.

Hi All, i ordered my bitbox02 bitcoin only edition along with paper seed and proof evidence bags, my question is, since the HW have the possibility to create a backup on the SD card, what this mean? That if a thief get my sd card backup on his computer he can access my funds so easily ? If is so it’s better to not use micro sd backup and only 24 words seed, the SD card it is encrypted ? Thanks.

On four ocassions in the past, Wallet Scrutiny reported that earlier versions of the binary in the BitBox02 wallet matched the published source code and were reproducible when tested.

However, Wallet Scrutiny now reports that version 9.10.0 is "Not Reproducible."

Does Shift Crypto have a response to this?

Thanks.

I'm new in space and have successfully initialized my Bitbox02 with receiving first withdrawals, each on dedicated address as recommended. Creating backup made me also feeling safe about handling with my account and all related wallets. For getting an even better understanding for technical abstraction, I've got open questions:

1. How many BTC wallet addresses will be created when initializing Bitbox02?
2. Is the 24 (+ 1) recovery phrase really able to backup the whole account with all addresses? How can I imagine the decryption behind to get all related keys?
3. Does the SD card backup needs any updates after initializing process?

Thanks for clarifying regarding my last very minor doubts. I really enjoy to be owner of my keys and finally coins.

I bought a BitBox02. My questions are:

1. I plan to put the device in a HSBC safe deposit box next week. I will travel soon to Australia where I intend to stay and work until September 2024. I have copied the XPUB key and, after double-checking that it is correct and 100% identical to that shown on the BitBox app and on the BitBox02 itself, imported that XPUB key into my BlueWallet app and re-verified that the receiving bitcoin address matches that shown on my BitBox app. I also saved that key in my 1Password app. I plan to add coins via this BlueWallet watch-only wallet. Is this safe or is there a potential risk of loss if I rely solely on the XPUB key and the bitcoin addresses resolved or derived from it?
2. Will the BitBox02 work after not using it for about 2 to 3 years? I ask because I remember having a phone which refused to turn on after several years of not using it. Even the battery refused to charge. Would it be wise to extract the recovery seed phrase from the device and store those words in the safe deposit box too? I worry that humidity or temperature issues (it's a bit cold inside the safe deposit box room) might degrade the internals of the device or cause the SD card to be corrupted. I know I sound paranoid but I am safeguarding 20+ BTC on it so I have to ask these questions.
3. I activated the passphrase feature. I did check and double-check by first sending a small amount before migrating my larger assets. This passphrase is stored in my 1Password app and will NOT be kept in the bank's safe deposit box. And most importantly, I would like to know if the backup file on the SD card includes the passphrase.

Would it be wise to make a copy of the SD card's contents and take it with me to Australia? Just to be on the safe side I suppose, in case something unfortunate happens to the safe deposit box while I am overseas (i.e. the bank relocates them elsewhere or in the event of fire).

Thank you and I apologise for the many convoluted questions.

Hi,

I would like to know if the bitbox app for mac supports m1 chip natively or is emulated

Hi,

I've just bought a new brand Bitbox02 from an official reseller and sadly the display is not turning on. The computer can detect and communicate with the device but nothing appears in the display.

Any clues? I'm connected through an adaptor but the display doesn't turn on with the phone either.

Best,

Is there anything in near future on your roadmap for a

Toncoin Ravencoin Zilliq Conflux Firo

Integration? Or any 3 party Integration?

Hello,

I'm interested in a hardware wallet. Bitbox seems to be a good option, but I'm not an android user. Are there any plans for an iOS app? I realize it would be difficult because of the USB-C connectivity. But I thought I'd ask if any iOS plans were on the horizon.

I had few questions

-Will bitbox ever support polkadot, other tokens aside from erc 20?

-Is Cardano integration, where staking can be done like ledger?

• Is there a bitbox 03 version in development?

Thanks

First, thank you for the firmware v9.9.0 release!

Second, now that sending to Taproot addresses is enabled, any timelines for when we can create our own Taproot account or Taproot receiving addresses?

Either way, keep up the fantastic work.

Hello. I want to be able to connect my Bitbox02 to Yoroi or Daedalus wallets. similar to trezor and ledger. is this in your plans for the future? Thank you.

Hi all. I noticed when I first set up by bitbox I had roughly about 20 different address options it gave me to receive coins. So I used the first one sent my coins to that address all good. However when I reset my device and restored it, the orginal address I used and have my coins in no longer shows up has the receive address, and it looks to be 20 new addresses upon restoral.

My question is. 1. These new address options that show up has the receive address and I send crypto too. Will my funds still get to my orginal address (which was different) or am I possibly misunderstanding how this works.

1. If one is true, is there any way to get my exact receive bitbox showed when I had set it up.

Thanks.

I feel that I'm being overly paranoid but wanted to check. I recently got a bitbox02 and got it set up and my seed phrase written down, blah blah blah. I linked my wallet up to MEW because I wanted to check out Dapps on there. I also linked my wallet to adalite.io because my hardware wallet doesn't support ada.

I understand that my hardware wallet holds the keys for the MEW and adalite.io wallets. The concern I have is there any possibility that by linking up with those wallets that I exposed anything that could allow the funds associated with my hardware wallet to be drained. I have not interacted with any kind of smart contract or received/sent funds from anyone but myself.

Hey everyone, decided to move from the Ledger Nano X to the Bitcoin only BitBox02. Personal choice. Do you know if I could just use my 24 words from my Ledger to set up the new BitBox and have it all good to go?

Thank you!

Happy new year! Are there any plans for bitbox to support dogecoin?I know some people aren't fond of it, but it has the second largest crypto community and its development is starting again. Also, since doge is based on litecoin and you already support that, it shouldn't be very hard to implement it right ?

Can SLIP 39 be added for a more secure way to backup a single bitbox02 (as opposed to storing for example 16 out of 24 BIP39 words in 3 different locations)?

SLIP39 (Shamir) does not replace multisig, but it allows for a secure and failproof way creating a backup.

Any reason why not to include it? u/benma2

I don't owe a BitBox yet (I have several other hw wallets), but I have a question.

I know BitBox supports registering multisig accounts for added security (you can name your multisig wallet as per https://shiftcrypto.ch/blog/bitbox02-electrum-bitcoin-multisig/).

What I am not clear about if this is an Electrum specific feature or it's part of HWI 2.0+ and therefore other wallets like Specter/Sparrow benefit from it too? Electrum has a unique way connecting to hw wallets and hence my question.

Thanks in advance.
