Introducing the BitBox Sambuco update!
This update brings exciting improvements to the BitBoxApp, including a revamped transaction overview, native Apple Silicon support, enhanced privacy features, and more. Here’s what’s new: 👇
- Enhanced transaction overview
We’ve modernized the transaction history with better spacing, clearer distinctions for incoming/outgoing/self transfers, and historical fiat values at the time of transactions.
Now it’s easier to recall the context of older transactions!
- Native Apple Silicon support
Mac users with M-series chips can now enjoy a faster, smoother app experience without relying on Rosetta emulation.
Faster launches, snappier performance, and better battery life. 🚀
- Improved privacy tools
The BitBoxApp now labels change outputs, helping users better understand their UTXO history and avoid potential privacy mishaps.
Combined with our address reuse warnings, this can help to improve transaction privacy.
- BTC Direct's Private Trading Desk
High-volume traders, this one’s for you! We’ve integrated BTC Direct Private Trading Desk for trades of €50,000 or more.
Enjoy personal guidance, fixed rates, and secure transfers directly to your cold storage.
SO, from better fee management to log exports on Android, visual improvements, and more, this update enhances the BitBoxApp experience for everyone.

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
Looking forward to more opportunities to connect and share knowledge. ❤️

No, unfortunately that is not supported. If we see more adoption for silent payments in the future, we will look into it!
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.
🔑 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.
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.
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.
At Anlegertag Düsseldorf, Germany, we connected with 1,700+ finance enthusiasts, spreading awareness on secure asset management, and getting to know our future users.
Special thanks to our colleague Markus Vorsmann, Bitcoin Educator and Business Consulting, who explained everything and interacted with attendees, answering questions as a professionals! ❤️
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.)
Thank you for sharing!
