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 👇

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.

We have partnered with @nprofile…4wne to bring you the first implementation of secure Bitcoin sales.
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.

Unit bias is the tendency to prefer purchasing larger quantities of a cheaper asset over smaller amounts of a more valuable one. When it comes to #Bitcoin, don't be fooled: it's time to stack sats!

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! 💪

One day, Bitcoin will be central to our lives.
Currently, small local communities like Arnhem in the Netherlands are pioneering this movement. We are honored to have visited this city during the 'Adopting Bitcoin' conference and to have spent three days paying exclusively with Bitcoin at bars, restaurants, and more!
🖤 Thank you to everyone we met in Arnhem. We look forward to continuing to work together towards a future where Bitcoin is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives!

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.
