ay! A MicroSD card is electronics and can break. A piece of paper (or better, steel) lasts forever. You can view the words in the app at any time: Manage Device > Show recovery words.Vital Rules for Note-Taking: > > 1. No Witnesses: Ensure you are absolutely unobserved. > > 2. No Cameras: Watch out for webcams on laptops or surveillance cameras in the room. > > 3. Silence: Never speak the words out loud! Everything nowadays has microphones (phones, smart speakers) and could be listening.────────────────Level Expert: The Optional PassphraseIn the BitBox settings, you will find the option "Optional Passphrase". This is the feature where most beginners get burned."The passphrase is not an 'extra password' for your existing wallet. It mathematically generates a completely new wallet."Before activating this switch, strictly read the warnings & guides on the Optional Passphrase.👉 <https://blog.bitbox.swiss/en/optional-passphrases-benefits-and-risks/>How the math works:Seed = Wallet A (your "Main Wallet")Seed + Passphrase "Secret123" = Wallet B (completely empty, new wallet)Seed + Passphrase "Secret124" = Wallet C (yet another wallet)The Risk: The BitBox does not store this passphrase. It also does not check if it is "correct". If you make a typo during setup or recovery, you simply open a new, empty wallet. If you send coins there and forget the typo, the coins are mathematically inaccessible and lost.Use this feature only if you know exactly what you are doing (e.g., for "Plausible Deniability").────────────────Summary of PlatformsA quick overview of the specifics:Linux Connection: USB-C Specialty: Needs udev rules! Most secure environment (due to Open Source OS).Android Connection: USB-C Specialty: Often needs "OTG" (On-The-Go) activation in Android settings.Apple (iOS) Connection: Bluetooth Specialty: Only possible with BitBox02 Nova. Uses the "Whisper" protocol. USB connection is not supported by the app on iOS.────────────────RecommendationSecurity is not a state, but a process. Take your time setting it up, don't rush, and double-check everything. Your financial freedom is worth it.₿ Bitcoin in Self-Custody: Hardware wallet instead of exchange account. I use the BitBox – available as the classic BitBox02 and the new BitBox for iPhone (Nova).👉 <https://alien-investor.org/bitbox> Use the code ALIENINVESTOR to get a 5% discount.────────────────Official Sources & DownloadsUse only these links to avoid phishing:Start & Download (App): <https://bitbox.swiss/start>Linux Help (udev rules): <https://shiftcrypto.support> (Search term: "Linux")BitBox Blog: <https://bitbox.swiss/blog>────────────────Money, power, Bitcoin — and OPSEC.
