Lugano Plan B Forum this weekend was a fantastic gathering of Bitcoin enthusiasts and experts!

We proudly sponsored the Chain Duel tournament, while our team shared valuable knowledge: Luca’s hardware wallet workshop was a hit with the Italian audience, and Marko’s session on silent payments sparked great discussions.

Our BitBox was on sale during the conference—if you didn’t get yours, you still can! Purchase here: https://shop.bitbox.swiss/en/#products

BitBox Lugano Update is here! 🎉

At BitBox, we want to make sure our users can take advantage of the newest innovations on Bitcoin. With today’s update, we are adding support for two great Bitcoin features:

- Silent Payments
- MiniTapscript

https://m.primal.net/Lfau.webp

🔒 Silent Payments Upgrade

With this update, the BitBox02 is now the first hardware wallet to support sending to silent payment addresses. This means you can send bitcoin to the same address multiple times, without the sender losing privacy. No need to constantly generate new addresses!

🔧 Just enter a silent payment address in the BitBoxApp, and the transaction is created  together with your BitBox02.

The BitBoxApp then verifies the silent payment was created correctly by the BitBox02 for extra security.

https://m.primal.net/Lfav.png

🔑 This update also brings MiniTapscript, combining the privacy and efficiency of Taproot with the power of Miniscript. It’s perfect for creating more complex wallet setups like inheritance planning, while keeping transactions smaller and more private.

https://m.primal.net/Lfaz.png

What is MiniTapscript?

Miniscript is a language that simplifies creating advanced Bitcoin spending conditions, like combining keys or setting time delays (great for inheritance planning).

MiniTapscript adds Taproot’s privacy and efficiency to Miniscript. Only the part of the script actually used to spend the coins is revealed, which reduces transaction size, lowers fees, and improves privacy.

https://m.primal.net/LfbD.png

With MiniTapscript, only the necessary parts of the script are revealed, making transactions more efficient and lowering fees. It’s available now in firmware version 9.21.0.

What else is included in our upgrade? Read more in the blogpost in the comment 👇

We love Bitcoin conferences, but the biggest challenge is reaching 'non-Bitcoin' events.

nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt did a thing.

Many Bitcoin services and users reuse a single address, compromising  their privacy, as all transactions related to this address can easily be identified and analyzed.

Bitbox rolled out silent payments in an aim to solve these issues. They use static addresses intended to be reused, while  transactions made to these addresses can only be identified by the sender and the recipient. For example, a charity could post their donation address publicly on their website without anyone being able to tell who donated, or how much. Exchanges could register your single silent payment address for all withdrawals without exposing this sensitive funding traffic.

Here’s their 1) intro and 2) technical breakdown:

https://bitbox.swiss/blog/understanding-silent-payments-part-one/

https://bitbox.swiss/blog/understanding-silent-payments-part-two/

The feature to securely make silent payments, including the correctness check in the BitBoxApp as described in this article, will be released soon in the next BitBoxApp version 4.45 with BitBox02 firmware version 9.21.

(Would love to see you peek in on this, nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j , to see if it fits your ethos to help lead the greater ecosystem toward this type of privacy feature set.)

Last night, HBO published a documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

We believe this narrative goes against the very ethos of Bitcoin and strongly oppose this kind of sensationalism.

Speculating on Satoshi’s identity isn’t just unnecessary; it’s irresponsible and dangerous.

The power of Bitcoin lies in its design, and Satoshi’s anonymity has been essential in allowing Bitcoin to grow free from individual influence.

This isn’t a flaw—it’s one of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths.

Knowing who Satoshi is wouldn’t contribute anything positive to Bitcoin; instead, it would create a target, invite unnecessary attention, and compromise the principles on which Bitcoin was founded.

We discourage this type of speculative behavior and urge everyone to respect Satoshi’s choice to remain anonymous.

Let’s focus on advancing Bitcoin for a freer future, and honor the decisions that have allowed it to flourish.

With our new update, you can now sell Bitcoin securely from within the BitBoxApp!

Signed addresses & memos make sure your Bitcoin ends up exactly where it is supposed to.

https://nostpic.com/media/5a3de28ffd09d7506cff0a2672dbdb1f836307bcff0217cc144f48e19eea3fff/858f6f7226b4157431cf20ae512439ee511a12bb56738865993cb82ebebbce0b.webp

When sending Bitcoin to Pocket, you won't see a Bitcoin address! 😱

Instead, the BitBox02 will cryptographically verify that the payment request came from Pocket.

On the BitBox02, you will see 'Pocket' as the destination and your IBAN as a memo.

No need to check addresses.

https://nostpic.com/media/5a3de28ffd09d7506cff0a2672dbdb1f836307bcff0217cc144f48e19eea3fff/e32dda333042d2d298b9218f8103ad6b841ff56902acf10d3faa5199e666cc8c.webp

As soon as your transaction to Pocket has 3 onchain confirmations, they will send out the money to your bank account.

If your bank account supports instant transactions, the whole transaction can take less than 30 minutes!

https://nostpic.com/media/5a3de28ffd09d7506cff0a2672dbdb1f836307bcff0217cc144f48e19eea3fff/6639213b0f2f873718c7f27026175e2d296e049a3d0fb1b9f41c6a00d084c0d0.webp

A novel way to securely send large amounts of Bitcoin to an exchange without triple checking bitcoin addresses?

With the BitBox02, you can now use payment requests to ensure your transactions are secure and untampered.

https://m.primal.net/KaWw.jpg

Let’s take a look at how this works:

💡 Reminder: Computers and smartphones are vulnerable to malware. The BitBox02 isolates critical Bitcoin operations, ensuring security even if your host device is compromised.

https://m.primal.net/KaXD.png

🔑 If you shouldn’t trust the host device, how can you be sure that the deposit address from an exchange is legitimate?

https://m.primal.net/KaXI.png

If your computer is compromised, attackers can easily replace the exchange deposit address that is displayed in your browser with one that is controlled by an attacker!

https://m.primal.net/KaXO.png

📱 Verifying the deposit address on a second device can help, but is rarely an option on exchanges and cumbersome to use - especially when you don’t have a second device available.

https://m.primal.net/KaXY.jpg

🔐 Introducing payment requests: Exchanges sign your deposit address with their private key, and the BitBox02 verifies this signature against a public key that is stored within its firmware.

This guarantees that you are sending Bitcoin to an address controlled by the exchange.

https://m.primal.net/KaXe.png

If the signature for the address does not match the stored public key for the exchange, the BitBox02 rejects the payment request.

https://m.primal.net/KaXh.png

This verification happens in the background. All the user has to do is to make sure the BitBox02 displays the correct exchange or service name on its transaction confirmation screen. No need to even check the bitcoin address! ✨

https://m.primal.net/KaWw.jpg

🏦 Verifying banking details: The exchange or service can also choose to include data in the payment request, such as banking details, which will be displayed on the BitBox02 verification screen!

Our first partner to introduce this feature is Pocket Bitcoin, users will soon be able to sell Bitcoin securely from within the BitBoxApp!

We hope to see many other services introduce this security feature in the future (Kraken? Swan?)!

-

🔄 In summary: the BitBox02’s payment request feature eliminates address spoofing and enhances the user experience, making Bitcoin transactions both easier and safer.

It's not that vacations are getting pricier; it's that fiat currency keeps devaluing. 📉💸

In 2014, $1,000 equaled 2 BTC. By 2024, the same vacation costs 0.02 BTC. While dollar prices rose 20% (same vacation today is 1,200$), Bitcoin’s value soared, costing vastly fewer BTC.

The history of hardware wallets:

Using a Bitcoin wallet is (almost) normal today, but when Bitcoin was first created, such wallets didn't exist.

Early Bitcoin users had to rely on rudimentary methods to manage and store their private keys, which were susceptible to high security risks.

Over time, Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) have revolutionized how users interact with their Bitcoins, significantly enhancing the security and usability of wallets. Here the BIPs that led to hardware wallets:

- BIP32 (2012): Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets

What it is: This BIP introduced a system where all Bitcoin keys could be generated from a single seed, known as Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) Wallets.

Impact: It improved security by reducing the need for frequent backups and enhanced privacy by allowing users to generate new addresses for each transaction, all recoverable from the same seed.

- BIP39 (2013): Mnemonic Code for Generating Deterministic Keys

What it is: BIP39 proposed a method for converting the seed used in an HD wallet into a mnemonic phrase made up of easy-to-remember words.

Impact: It made wallet backup and restoration more user-friendly. Instead of needing to secure complex keys, users can now recover their entire wallet using a simple phrase of common words, thus significantly reducing the risk of errors in recording the seed.

- BIP43 (2014): Purpose Field for Deterministic Wallets

What it is: BIP43 introduced a "purpose field" in the deterministic wallet structure, allowing for multiple different wallet structures under the same seed.

Impact: It provided a method for developers to create specific wallet structures for different applications, all under one master seed, supporting improved organizational strategies.

- BIP44 (2014): Multi-Account Hierarchy for Deterministic Wallets

What it is: BIP44 builds on BIP32 and BIP43 by adding a specific structure for creating multiple accounts within the same wallet.

Impact: It enabled users to have different accounts (like savings, checking, investment, etc.) under one master seed. Each account can have its own chain of addresses, enhancing both privacy and organization.

These advancements, as proposed and implemented in the respective BIPs, address various aspects of security, usability, and functionality in Bitcoin wallet management.

For hardware wallets, these proposals meant that users could not only secure their Bitcoins more effectively but also enjoy greater ease in managing multiple accounts and addresses under a single device.

This reminds us of how Satoshi Nakamoto, by releasing the Bitcoin code, gifted the world one of the greatest technologies we have ever seen. However, developers have continued to introduce new updates to enhance its usability, and this will likely continue for decades, perhaps even centuries.

We are all Satoshi.

We just came back from an exhilarating time at BTC Prague! 🌟 It was a fantastic opportunity to meet face-to-face with our partners and users.

This event was particularly special as it brought (some of) our remote team together, allowing us to strengthen bonds and exchange ideas in person.

Thank you to all who made BTC Prague a memorable gathering. Your energy and insights continue to inspire and drive our mission forward.

Just returned from an incredible experience where freedom advocates met with Bitcoin experts. Oslo Freedom Forum is the 'not Bitcoin' conference that dives deep into the importance of self-custody and decentralization 👏

Self-custody is not just a technical aspect; it's a fundamental human right. In a world where financial privacy and autonomy are increasingly threatened, controlling your own assets ensures freedom and security. By embracing self-custody, we empower individuals to reclaim their financial sovereignty and protect their human rights.

Thank you Human Rights Foundation! 💪

🎄 We wish all of our followers, users, future customers and Bitcoiners a merry christmas! 🎄

A sincere thank you from all of us for your incredible support throughout the year. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. 🙏


It's something that would require new hardware.

iOS support is currently by far our most requested feature, so you can imagine it's high up on our list of problems to solve. 👍


Yes, the touch is very usable. Check out any of the videos on our YouTube channel.

MFI stands for "Made for iPhone" and is Apples way of charging licensing fees for things that are useable with iOS devices


Thanks Lisa, that means a lot coming from you!

We're looking into bringing some functionality to iOS, but the MFI license stuff is really restrictive.


Finally unboxed the BitBox02 that I got at the last baltic honeybadger with a friend that's not as technical as i am and *wow* it is *really* nice. kinda feel like they nailed the screen UX

biggest gripe is that it doesn't seem to talk to ios devices, which basically makes it a no-op for me long term 😕


You've asked, we listened!🥳

With the newest BitBoxApp update, we've added the ability to remember your wallet! You can now see your balances and transactions without plugging in your BitBox02.🤯

🚨 Two days ago, we received a concerning support request: An app that appeared to be the BitBoxApp asked the user to enter their recovery words.

This was clearly a phishing attempt by an attacker trying to steal the users funds.

Here's what happened: 👇

https://image.nostr.build/471dc945e24b9836c14f228e9ebf520a9c389d45f1392598383ede6be1dcbd00.jpg

The victim has had his BitBox02 for multiple months already. One day, after plugging in their BitBox02, the BitBoxApp flashed and displayed the above screen.

Knowing he wasn't supposed to enter his recovery words on a computer, he immediately contacted our support. 💪

Together with the victim, we figured out that a malicious BitBoxApp clone was placed on his computer. It does not replace the BitBoxApp, but is installed in another folder.

Once the original BitBoxApp has been opened, it minimizes the original BitBoxApp and displays the malicious "Bitbox.exe" over all other content.

The malware also appear to take screenshots to surveil the victim. 🚨

https://image.nostr.build/ffa5b51ba5c3b0d1ac777282bd180448fc4ea5ea07aabef5fe7940874f50905a.jpg

We were able to trace the origin of the malware to a malicious website.

The victim used DuckDuckGo to search for "wasabi wallet" and ended up downloading a malicious installer.

This is an extremely easy mistake to make, as there are multiple phishing sites in the top results.

https://image.nostr.build/06a421d407b60e98e26b82d6147fdbcb04becb8b2f3de73fc18f1b2be802b51a.jpg

We have reached out to Wasabi Wallet and they assured us they do everything in their power to get rid of these fake sites.

It is necessary for DuckDuckGo to take action and make sure these malicious websites don't appear in their search results.

To make sure this does not happen to you, you should always verify exactly where you are downloading programs from.

This is also why we provide instructions on how to verify the signatures for our BitBoxApp before you run them:

https://github.com/digitalbitbox/bitbox-wallet-app/releases/tag/v4.39.0

Thank you again to the victim for helping us figure this out as quickly as possible!

Their fast and correct response made it possible for us to figure this out really fast and warn other users. We've already shipped them a small 'thank you' package to show our gratitude. 🙏

In the end the BitBox02 did exactly what it was supposed to:

It protected the users wallet when their PC got compromised.

Would the victim have used a software wallet, chances are high that their money would have been stolen.

https://image.nostr.build/80ed4e5c9bb8b4bc7b6862dafb8c46aac25ed532be784eed6f919c142db57412.jpg


Yes, we have a Multi-Edition that supports a hand full of altcoins.

But our focus is Bitcoin:

We were one of the first to implement secure MultiSig.
We were one of the first to implement Taproot.
We were one of the first to implement Miniscript.
We are one of the two only Bitcoin wallets to implement Anti-Klepto.
We are currently the only hardware wallet openly working on Lightning.

There's a lot of "Bitcoin-Only" companies doing less Bitcoin development.

Withdrawing Bitcoin from an exchange or receiving Bitcoin in general can very
insecure.

If an attacker has access to your host device, they might be able to alter what
Bitcoin address is passed along to the receiver.

https://image.nostr.build/d8d75cdc5025321d7f3ec830e042ebc8e684d9a36e8e7a9f1ddd037fe17eda83.png

How can you be sure that the other person or exchange has received the correct
Bitcoin address that you sent them?

https://image.nostr.build/db8dae8158862fb0d70506fb0a753a3730ffc9e380f5e6fae181059880fe1636.png

By making use of public key cryptography, you can create an encrypted message,
which includes your withdrawal address, your account ID and a secret. It is
encrypted to the known public key of the exchange (or person).

https://image.nostr.build/22d69f165e83effb42b7f7971691db5e445114a1ef98acefa0134c3398336ed3.png

The exchange then decrypts the message and presents the user with the secret.
This way, the user can be sure that the exchange has definitely received his
Bitcoin address.

This protocol does not exist yet, but if there is sufficient demand for it, we
will work with our partners to implement it.

You can find more information about this in our blog post:
https://bitbox.swiss/blog/securely-withdrawing-from-an-exchange/


Yes, it's more or less "infinite" touch zones. For unlocking, they are split in 6 discrete zones for typing, changing character type, removing and confirming.


With its invisible touch sensors on its sides, the BitBox02 keeps a stealthy appearance while having excellent flexibility for its inputs.

The 6 touch zones enable alphanumeric device passwords, which increase the security of your wallet compared to simple numerical passwords.

https://video.nostr.build/cf156f2cb5dd9613ffeccc8800ee467f00a290d33d672a232a60af9b57074773.mp4

What if you have a wallet securing a lot of money and even the smallest chance of your funds becoming inaccessible is worth addressing?

Creating multiple backups is dangerous as it increases the chance of someone finding one of them and getting access to your wallet.

https://image.nostr.build/bff3bdfed4799f469ef264311d3dc390c4e4ee687906445528de465c6dd83211.jpg

With miniscript, you can create backups that are timelocked and can only access your wallet after a certain amount of time has passed.

These timelocked backups can be handed to friends and family (or even companies) without worrying about them stealing money from you.

https://image.nostr.build/a9bb622c7c119ca0808b3af077b7909e4a0d61711557b946016c7d42bfc1e1c2.jpg

These timelocks can also be used in multisignature wallets to create elaborate spending conditions, like a family wallet that can always be used my mother and father, but includes an inheritence path that can be used by son and daughter together after a certain while.

https://image.nostr.build/f4cb68454acf3fdc447a4f86e56c113adbeb68ddc7fcd6d365508f91b893a988.jpg

Because the timelocks start once the transaction is received, it is necessary to "refresh" the coins before the timelock runs out and other spending paths become available.

To do this, all the user has to do is to send a transaction to themselves, resetting the timelock to 0.

https://image.nostr.build/b840406d45dd8ff8fe4b0593f3529fce31458c8cb54d3faad6b61ff56d2bd8b3.jpg

We've seen an increase in posts about hotwallet hacks in the last couple of days:

reddit.com/r/CryptoCurren…

Don't keep large amounts of money in a hotwallet.

Upgrade your security and withdraw your coins to the easiest hardware wallet, the BitBox02:

The Bitbox02 nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt does it all actually !

You can buy through the hardware wallet with nostr:npub1zv7d9l5ac0zdzeh5mzfyaegcdgcwn8m2uaxdpsj93hgp4nqjmd0s6k82ke incl. light kyc. Newbies learn all they need through the installation process.

It‘s a hardware wallet first approach which is a total game changer imo.

1. buy hardware wallet
2. buy sats
3. learning on the way


Yes! You can find the APK on our GitHub release page: https://github.com/digitalbitbox/bitbox-wallet-app/releases

Bringing Lightning to the BitBoxApp! ⚡

We are exploring seamless, non-custodial Lightning payments directly within the BitBoxApp by partnering with Breeze.

Watch us pay a Bitrefill lightning invoice from within our BitBoxApp prototype:

Complexity is not security.

https://bitbox.swiss/blog/complexity-isnt-security/


If you wait long enough, the banks will make themselves obsolete! 👀

https://image.nostr.build/ee841b88602d46fd527a2a73855d076163cc716abab173e84d7a5e309d8bf3c4.jpg


Not sure what you mean. 🤔

The confirmation button is already on the far right side of the device. The upper sensor is divided into three button regions that are all the same size.


With its invisible touch buttons and OLED display, the BitBox02 remains stealthy when unplugged, showing no signs of being anything more than a microSD card reader. 🤫

https://image.nostr.build/79e7ecac8a66ff2d657a10e05bdc38cde49acfc254792c71070363c381301495.jpg


For now this would be limited to sending to silent payment addresses. Receiving would require the user to scan the UTXO set himself. Possible, but much more effort than the sending part.


Thank you Douglas Bakkun to explain “self custody” in simple terms! 😉 Clear yet technical! Don’t miss it! nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt
