Should we add send to silent payment support to the BitBox02?

You asked for it and we implemented it. 🙏

With the upcoming BitBoxApp update, you can choose to skip the microSD backup and create a 12 instead of a 24 word seed during setup.

Miniscript support on the BitBox02 is progressing nicely!

With the upcoming BitBoxApp release, we are improving the way accounts work! 🎉

When restoring a BitBox02 or plugging into a new host device, the BitBoxApp will automatically check if there are any used accounts.

You will also be able to create more than 5 bitcoin accounts!

No problem, just pay your BitBox02 via lightning! ⚡

What is Miniscript?

Our last blogpost explained why Bitcoin script is so hard to use. In this second part of the series, benma goes into detail on how Miniscript works and how it makes scripting easier.

There's pocketbitcoin, relai and getbittr in Europe, which don't require extensive KYC, but they all charge around 1% fee.
