A few years ago I bought a digital BitBox from Switzerland, and had mostly great results from it (it was a minimalist design, which I liked). It did its job well, which was all I cared about. Just Bitcoin, no annoying firmware updates, etc.
Alas, I used the device kind-of a lot (stacking small amounts of BTC in for safekeeping). Unfortunately the device eventually failed (it did get hot while plugged in), so I wound up buying a Ledger and a Trezor afterwards (so far so good with both).
But I am curious as to other people's experiences with the BitBoxes more recently. They now offer two versions of their new BitBox02:
-- a Bitcoin only edition (for those only interested in BTC and to reduce attack vectors)
-- a multi edition that allows using various other cryptos (more to be added)
They also continue to offer their original BitBox, now called the BitBox01.
I would be interested in hearing about experiences with these Swiss-made devices, thanks. Check them out:
