Dimension | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Sign Up | 🚀🚀🚀 | As simple as can be expected. On-wallet passcode is set, mnemonic is generated and an initial microSD backup is generated. |
Usability | 🚀🚀🚀 | No native iOS app so a portion of users may not be able to use the wallet on the go. |
Design | 🚀🚀🚀🚀 | This thing is stunning - Very well-designed, with 3 main gestures for interfacing with the wallet - tap, swipe and squeeze. They are implemented in a consistent and intuitive way, so after a while you get an idea of what gestures do what actions. |
Updates | 🚀🚀🚀 | Example: The iPhone app seems to be updated much more frequently than the Android app. The last update included new features and bug fixes. |
Support | 🚀🚀🚀 | Has a dedicated Telegram channel for answering questions, giving support and discussing products with the devs and community. |
Availability | 🚀🚀🚀 | Available in EU, and most of the remainder of the world through various resellers (like BitLift!) |
Security | 🚀🚀🚀 | No sensitive data ever leaves the device - this includes your mnemonic, private keys and anything else you wouldn't want falling into the wrong hands. Receiving addresses are shown both in-app and verified on the OLED screen on the BitBox02 itself. The microSD backup is a potential attack vector if not stored securely enough. |
Community | 🚀🚀🚀🚀 | Telegram channel for interacting with other BixBoxers around the world. Some high-profile bitcoiners present. Available on social networks with frequent retweets of BitBox users. |
Innovation | 🚀🚀🚀 | Many innovative features, like bluetooth connectivity, have been stifled in the name of reducing attack vector and keeping your crypto safe. Integrates directly into many trustworthy third-party apps for better functionality, like multisig through Electrum. |
Advanced Features | 🚀🚀🚀🚀 | Tor proxy and full node integration available in the native app. |
