Trezor or BitBox02, which one do you prefer?

[Forsyth Jones]

-----------------

My bitbox02 came with a USB-C (female) to USB-C (male) cable and a USB-A adapter. With this adapter, I can connect the device with only USB-A inputs. Since my notebook has both types of USB inputs, I can use either one.

I think I've had it since 2021, so I don't know if it still comes with this adapter.

Interesting, I didn't know about the fact they are already sending adapters in packages by default.
All other hardware wallets released in last few years converted from micro-usb connection/cables to usb type-c, that has become the new standard.
For me best hardware wallets are airgapped and they ''connect'' with camera scanning... so no need for cables except for charging/updating.

Are you also looking for a new hardwallet?

Not at the moment, but I'd love to have a coldcard or passport hardware wallet, but I already have a lot of hardware wallets (trezor, ledger, bitbox) and few sats to justify so much hardware, hehehe.

Hey Forsyth Jones, which model of Trezor do you have?
Is it good to do a lot of transactions if necessary?

I have a Ledger nano S, but it's not good to use in a lot of txs like I need to operate some DeFi, sometimes I do more than 20txs in a few minutes, maybe 30 txs a day, and I need a wallet that makes this easy

I have the Trezor Model T, but if you add about $50 (or 300R$) more to the price of a Trezor Model T, you should get the most up-to-date model, which is the Trezor Safe 5.
If you use passphrase frequently, I recommend getting the touchscreen models, which in this case is the Trezor model T or Trezor Safe 5.

That's what I'd do. Otherwise, a Trezor Safe 3 will do the trick.

I think Keystone hardware wallet is probably one of the best for this purpose, if you install multi-coin firmware.
Old Trezor One is not recommended and I would personally avoid any old devices with weak processing power.
Having address and change verification is also important when you are making many transactions.

Thanks, I just went to the Trezor website and it's on sale
The Model T is 90 USD instead of 129 while the Safe 5 is 152 instead of 169
I'll see if I can get the Model T, it's a good discount
I think the touchscreen will make a difference to me

Wow, that's a beautiful wallet
149 dollars, I'll look into this model as I don't know anyone who has one, but the touch screen would be very nice

About the Trezor Model T, is it also an old processor like the One?

It is a bit stronger than one in Trezor One, but it's not a big difference.
Last time I cheked Trezor One was using STM32F2 and Trezor ModelT STM32F4 microprocessor.
There was a difference in supported coins in this two devices, but it's better to check that on Terzor website, if you need them for altcoins:

I recently brought trezor 3, before it I had tangem (which was bought after my ledger nano s's screen had died) but it lost my trust after their recent incident.

I have heard about Bitbox, but have got no idea about it, I went to trezor because of it's reputation over the years and tangem incident made me hesitant to trust any new brands.

It's quite common for the Ledger Nano S screen to stop working
But it's also quite easy and cheap to buy another one and replace it
Have you tried it?
If you have it, you may still be able to recover it

How do you like the Trezor Safe 3?

I knew about screen replacement, it's just alibaba where screens are available for about a dollar don't ship to my country (it's banned by Indian gov) and I couldn't be bothered to use those indirect shipping sites, there was another site where I was getting it for about $20 and quite unsure of my ability to replace it and thinking this $20 could go waste, so I moved to tangem and then trezor.

I like it, it's better than ledger nano S.

There are many cases of people having issues with nono S cheap screen, some of them can be fixed by using phone camera over ledger device.
I used both trezor and ledger devices and all I can say is that Trezor Safe 3 is better device in every way.
So far I never heard anyone having screen issues with any of trezor devices... even oldest Trezor One still works fine.

Trezor's quality is indescribable and unmatched, unlike the Nano S that always gave problems, they had to update to a newer model like the Nano S Plus to ease things a bit. I have a Nano S that no longer turns on (maybe it's the USB cable) and a Nano X that I use on the iPhone, but for small amounts, as I don't trust Ledger very much.

I think we have talked about this before, camera thingy don't work because letters appear broken to the extent them being unreadable (display still shows letters in dark place, no need of mobile camera).
