Create and switching between wallets
You can create multiple wallets, each of which is backed up on the micro SD card (make
sure it’s plugged in when creating wallets). Each wallet is defined by a wallet name and
password combination and is backed up by a single unique “seed” stored in a PDF file
on the micro SD card.
Only one wallet at a time, however, can be loaded onto your BitBox, with the exception
of the „Hidden“ wallet whose sole purpose is to provide „plausible deniability“ described
later in this guide.
To create a new wallet while logged into the BitBox go to:
Options
à
Create New Wallet
You will be prompted for a new wallet name, for example “Daves second wallet”. The
new wallet is now created and becomes the active wallet on the BitBox (you can restore
the previous wallet from the micro SD card). The new wallet will have the same
password as the wallet you were previously in.
You can switch between wallets by restoring the wallet you want to use (with the micro
SD card inserted) via
Options
à
Manage Backups
à
Restore
Then select the backup PDF file of the wallet you want to restore, and enter in the
original password used when creating the wallet. The restored wallet then replaces the
previously active wallet on your BitBox.
Creating a hidden wallet
For “plausible deniability” purposes, you can create a “hidden wallet” on your BitBox.
This is done via
Options --> Expert Settings --> Hidden Wallet Password
Entering a password here (should be different than for your main wallet) creates a new
wallet that looks like your primary wallet (same name), but allows you to store a different
