I'm unboxing the Bitbox02 Bitcoin-only edition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have plugged it into the USB-C port of Oli and I am downloading the bitbox app v4.35.0 from their webpage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The app is sleek. The first thing it tells me to do is to install some firmware. Done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I was placing the Bitbox upside down in the USB-C. Modern problems, this stuff didn't happen with USB-A
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I get a code shown in both the bitbox and the app and get asked to confirm they match. They do. I tap on the bitbox to proceed. The hidden buttons thing is funny.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now I can choose if I want to create a wallet or import an existing one. I'll create a new set of keys.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I need to give the bitbox a name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm now going to set a password on the bitbox. Wow, I love the buttons thingy. Never seen an interface like this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I get a few warning messages on how the backup is important as hell. Yep yep yep.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I must confirm the date. Now the backup is created.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And done. I guess my seedwords are the in the backup? I guess these guys would rather trust people storing the SD card than the words in plain sight. I'll have to read the SD card to check what is inside.

Now I'm going to try and create a Wallet with Sparrow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Okay, this is important. To ensure that Sparrow can read the wallet, you must:
|
||
|
|
- Connect the Bitbox.
|
||
|
|
- Open Sparrow.
|
||
|
|
- Unlock the Bitbox with the password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Okay, creating the wallet was easy. I can also see that both the Bitbox app and Sparrow use the same derivation path by default (m/84'/0'/0'), so the same addresses show up in both apps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now I just need to receive and send some sats to test it out.
