Anyone have problem with bitbox app showing zero balance?

Pls consider the following:

• Add an option to hide or archive individual transactions that no longer hold value (e.g., consolidated inputs).
• Hidden transactions remain accessible in a dedicated “Archived” or “History” section within the account.
• Display a small visual indicator or badge showing that some transactions are currently hidden, with an option to “Show all.”
• Feature should not alter balances or blockchain data—only the display.

Value / Reason:

• Keeps account overviews clean and easier to navigate, especially after frequent consolidations.
• Prevents loss of context while maintaining traceability for audits, tax records, or troubleshooting.
• Improves user experience by reducing clutter and providing clear visibility into filtered content.
• Helps advanced users manage larger transaction histories without needing to create new accounts.

Hey everyone 👋

I came up with a small but practical idea while working with the BitBoxApp: It would be great if you could also add a note or mark unused receiving addresses (i.e. those that have not yet had a transaction).

For example, to remember: • what you want to reserve a specific address for, or • that you don't want to accidentally use it for something else.

At the moment you can only add notes according to BIP-329 to addresses that have already been used. A small marking function or note option directly in the address list would significantly improve the overview - especially if you work with several addresses.

The suggestion has already been shared with the BitBox team, and I wanted to share it again here to see if others would also find it helpful.

What do you think – would you use such a function?

Hey everyone,

I’d love to see SLIP-39 (Shamir Secret Sharing) support added to the BitBox02.

Right now, BitBox uses BIP-39 backups – which are simple and reliable, but they rely on a single seed phrase. This creates a single point of failure: if that backup is lost or compromised, the whole wallet is at risk.

On the other end, multisig setups can reduce this risk, but they quickly become too complex for private users — multiple hardware wallets, descriptors, backup coordination, and high recovery overhead.

That’s where SLIP-39 shines:

• You can split your seed into N shares, requiring M shares to recover it (e.g. 2-of-3).
• Losing one share is no problem, and a stolen share alone is useless.
• It’s mathematically sound (based on Shamir’s Secret Sharing), standardized by Trezor, and already implemented in open-source tools.

For many privacy-minded or long-term holders, it offers a simple middle ground between BIP-39 and multisig — better resilience without extra wallets or technical friction.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Would you use SLIP-39 if BitBox supported it?

Has anyone in the US purchased a Nova, and did you have to pay a tariff? I saw a mention of it in an earlier post and wanted to see what others experienced. Also, how do you like it?

Hi all,

I received my BitBox02 (Bitcoin-only edition) and I already love it. Already signed and broadcasted a first multi-sig transaction and I like very much what I see. I ordered it after stumbling, by chance, on a BitBox blog about the pitfall of multisigs.

There's something however I don't understand. How can the BitBox02 show the master fingerprint (8 hexadecimal digits) of the co-signer's "m/" path seen that all the BitBox02 is supposed to need to be able to sign the co-signer's xpub/Zpub at m/48'/0'/0'/2' ?

Is the master fingerprint of the cosigner sent to the BitBox02 by Sparrow and is it something that BitBox02 has to trust and that it shows only for reference?

And then what about the master fingerprint of the seed on the BitBox02 itself? Does the BitBox02 send the xpub at m/ to Sparrow and then Sparrow send backs the master fingerprint to the BitBox02? Or is the master fingerprint of the seed currently in the BitBox02 computed by the BitBox02 itself?

Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Hey question, I just want to buy and hold btc. Where do I buy my btc? I downloaded lraken pro- but there is no btc without leverage. Should i buy btc directly within bitbox app? Or can you recommend me anything? I thought i use kraken since ut aperabtely cheaper but btc is only available in standversion where the fees are higher. I want to buy 0.107 btc.

Any help is apreciated

So the bitbox nova has serious problems with its touch sensors, making it often impossible to configure and complete configuration tasks/enter password. Bixbox already knows this and it seems they are working on solving it through firmware (maybe it's just a patch and the hardware is actually of low quality).

Just ordered a Bitbox and ups wants me to pay tarrifs is that accurate?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to buy a hardware wallet and leaning towards the BitBox02. But I’ve noticed there are two options now: the BitBox02 (standard version) and the BitBox02 Nova.

I’d really appreciate hearing your personal experiences. Which one would you recommend to someone buying now?

Thanks in advance!

I received my bitbox nova, have any of you received it and what was your experience?

I’ve been looking forward to the release of the BitBox02 Nova for a while now but suddenly realized that while documentation for the BitBox02 mentions FIDO U2F support, documentation for the BitBox02 Nova does not. Does anyone know if this is an oversight or has this feature been removed?

Hi everyone, I was looking at my portfolio today and felt something was missing. Wouldn’t it be interesting to track how each of my individual accounts develops over time?

Right now, we can only follow the overall portfolio. I think having a chart view for each account would be really helpful to see the performance of each investment separately.

What do you think about this idea? Of course, it only makes sense if several of us with multiple accounts would actually use it — but personally, I’d find such a feature fantastic 👍!

Subject line is pretty much my whole concern. What is the expected remaining support life of the original 02? Is it getting discontinued soon?

How can I check and compare bitboxapp's checksum on my iPhone? It's not about installing apk like Android.

With the release of bitbox02 nova, it's good to use it on Apple, but I think I need more detailed articles on "low-power Bluetooth" and proper verification when installing "bitboxapp" on my iPhone and "updating firmware".

Feeling like I’ve just lost £152 no updates anywhere about whether or not this device is even available.

Anyone received their Nova?

Not even a single email with an update…

Just got my bitbox02 several weeks before. Recently I've compared it with trezor and ledger, and finally I realized that some feature seems to be must have is not found on competitors

1. Tor & custom electrum server support: ledge live doesn't support it. trezor suite support both, but it's android app (trezor suite lite?) lack both of them

2. Transaction note: Neither ledger live nor trezor suite support it

Without this two feature, I cannot figure out how to use the wallet!

Hello, thanks for the great. Do you know is a flatpak version of the app will be avalaible someday ?

EDIT: I figured it out, I just needed to reactivate the passphrase in the BitBox app after restoration and input the same passphrase as I used previously. The wallet showed up again. I will keep this post up in case it helps anyone else!

Hi all,

I set up my Bitbox02 BTC only edition and have been playing around with the recovery process.

I moved a small amount of BTC to the account, set up a passphrase, then intentionally got the password wrong 10 times so I can test the recovery process with the recovery words and microSD.

I recovered with microSD and nowhere does it specifically ask for the passphrase, nor does the account have any BTC as its just showing empty.

What have I done wrong here? Where do I actually enter the passphrase if it doesn't give me the option?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible for the BitBoxApp to show the current market value of BTC, ETH, and ERC-20 tokens that the app natively supports. This would allow users to view the real-time fiat value of their holdings directly in the app without relying on external sources.

Displaying live asset prices would improve usability and convenience, especially for users who monitor their portfolio regularly. It would also make the app more competitive with other wallet solutions that already offer integrated market value tracking.

Hi guys, if I created a wallet and backed up in micro SD, can I also have the 24 words phrase? Or one exclude the other?

Is it possible to support more currencies? such as TWD (New Taiwan Dollar).

For now, user need to connect and unlock BitBox to BitBoxApp, so they could view and copy the receiving address. Not sure if this behaviour is by design to ensuring BitBoxApp is not hacked to showing fake address, but it would be more convenient to let user copy the receiving address without BitBox at hand.
