...but why are they dealing in shitcoins?? I was completley on board untill I read their bitbox2 supports etherium and other altcoins....

This might just be a personal thing but I don't want my #Bitcoin hardware wallet being associated in any way with shitcoins.

I am sponsored by the BITCOIN ONLY nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt 02 β€” it has limited firmware and only supports #bitcoin

For me it's the fact that they are simply not bitcoin only.

While some of them may be configured to be bitcoin only. The company itself does not beloved in the Bitcoin ethos of they did they would not screw around with altcoins at all.

It's is for those reasons that I can't buy their hardware wallet.

You should check out the passport by foundation devices maybe you could get a sponsor ship from them... I'd buy another one.

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.

I can appreciate that. You are working very hard in the space. And I'm sure there are plenty of bitcoiners who do purchase your hardware.

At the end of the day this is a personal choice for me.

I am not highly educated in the space simply learning one bit at a time

Being self educated and learning where I can I don't know too much about taproot, lightning or other 2nd layer and base layer implementations. So I can't say what your doing is not good for the overall space.

I just don't think it's good for me.

Please keep innovating and working on bitcoin we have a fight to win
