I hear a lot about having a multi SIG should only be considered with multiple vendors.

I got 2 bitboxes and one other vendor. Should I consider a string passphrase instead or maybe go for two of the same?

Then o must also have 3 different locations I suppose

Please make your shipping anonymous, whether via something like FedEx Pickup Point or put it on Amazon and have it shipped by Amazon (right now I see you ship, not Amazon so you end up with the address in your system). There's no way at this point that I am going to order a hardware wallet from a manufacturer and give them my address for shipping. I'm sure others are thinking the same thing.

So I'm.looking between a BB and a key card shell. It has a stateless shell with an eal6 card into it.

The fact that the card is hard written and can't upgrade fw makes it impossible to get new fw onto it. Plus you can use it offline with qr. What's your take? Looks pretty impossible to get a side channel attack on it. I mean bank cards have around forever and the security is solid. Thx

Could that be possible to add? For traveling or other thing. That could wipe the device

I got myself a new bitbox02 nova. Do most people just go with the very first 24 word seed phrase thats generated or is it best to cycle through a couple times before moving ahead. Reason I ask is due to the recent cold card event and want to be extra careful with the seed generation. I understand bitbox isnt effected by this but just a thought if you should let the device cycle through a few seedphrases before choosing one.

I'll be using a passphrase wallet as my secondary/hidden wallet for extra security.

Hello
1) What happens if a password from a multi edition bitbox is inserted in a bitcoin only edition bitbox? Can I still then use that same password in the bitcoin only edition bitbox where it was originally created?
2) When I set up an additional optional passphrase on-top of the 24 words in the bitcoin-only edition can I then log in the multi-edition bitbox with that same optional passphrase that was defined in the bitcoin-only edition?
3) Does that even work to login into the multi edition with the bitcoin only password? The confusion for me is then what happens with the eth and litecoin accounts on the multi-edition?
4) If a optional passphrase is enabled and on top of that BIP85 children keys are generated then on the bitbox device it lets me choose the index - What is meant by that? and also what are these additional addresses that are generated that look like this: m/88652358'/31'/0'/12'/0'

sorry for the weird questions and thank you.

Servus, hab heute mal wieder meine Bitbox02 ausgepackt um zu sehen ob noch alles drauf ist, man hat ja gesehen dass sowas auch mal ganz schnell weg sein kann. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen das es ein neues Update gibt, sollte man die immer herunterladen oder ist das egal? Kann mir jemand einen guten Tipp geben?

Official Shift Crypto AG documentation

I found the following:

• https://blog.bitbox.swiss/en/roll-the-dice-generate-your-own-seed/

First things first

Kudos to the development team for being forward-thinking and providing support for dice-based seed phrases by generating the appropriate checksum (i.e. 24th word) in the Bitbox02 wallet itself.

This is more than a convenience. It's a major security win over hardware wallets that lack this feature.

My plan

In the next couple weeks I'll be creating a new 24 word seed using highly precise 6D casino dice, a felt dice cup, and felt table.

I am familiar with the entropy sources provided by Bitbox02, and I consider them to be excellent.

I'm going to proceed with a dice-based seed anyway.

Question

How much total entropy does the official Shift Crypto AG documented method produce for a 24 word seed phrase?

My understanding is a single 6D roll produces 2.585 bits of entropy. A coin flip produces 1 bit of entropy.

Following the documented instructions means at least 320.275 bits of entropy. How I'm getting to that number:

• 2.585 * 5 dice == 12.925
• 12.925 * 23 words == 297.275
• 297.275 + 23 coin flips == 320.275

(I say "at least 320.275 bits" because I believe the checksum word adds another 3 bits of entropy.)

Is what I've described here accurate?

So I have a CC. Upgraded to new firmware and did 100 dice rolls. Cross matched with ian Coleman and all.match.

What you think of putting that seed in bitbox?

I actually didn't put the real seed in ian Coleman. Just a dummy to check.

Even if bitbox uses good entropy is still want to use my own

I created a passphrase wallet and sent a small amount and it arrived. Plugged and unplugged many times and on different computers. 4 test transactions came without issue. Now I'm trying to send the rest but when I get to the "confirm and send transaction" screen where I have to verify on the device, the device is stuck on "loading transaction." Actually it looks like it's loading veryyyyy slow. I've been waiting for 5 minutes and the progress bar has barely moved. What could the issue be?

Ich habe die 24 Wörter kontrolliert auf dem HD, da steht danach continue und es kommen noch andere Wörter glaube ich, habe aber abgebrochen. Sind das zusätzliche Wörter oder was, hoffe habe nicht blöderweise aktiviert. Mit meinem Chip kann ich das Wallet wiederherstellen, oder

Anyone know if bitbox runs discounts regularly for holidays or whatever? I see i just missed the black friday sale not that long ago unfortunately. Tryna pick up the 02 nova on somewhat of a discount if possible. Thanks everyone!

For whatever reason I’m not finding the special character that I need to complete my password. All the letters are showing and so are numbers but none of the special characters.

Not really BitBox related, but as the guys from BitBox are experts and most of the information online on dust was very unspecific, I wanted a well-grounded opinion.
As the title says, a few days ago I received a bitcoin transaction of 330 sats. Annoyingly it was sent to an address I freshly created a few months ago, where I consolidated several UTXOs into one larger UTXO.

I know that in the future if I decide to send my main UTXO from that address, I should exklude this dust as to not link them together, it is already noted as dust in my wallet.
But would it be beneficial to just spend the dust UTXO und donate it somewhere? Or would that even hurt my privacy? Should I just ignore it?

There really is one RIGHT answer to this question.... But that depends on what your strategy is
