help BC Vault Quicksilver FAQ
How does the BC Vault Quicksilver connect to a computer?
The BC Vault connects to a computer via a standard USB connection, allowing users to sign cryptocurrency transactions safely offline. Its interface relies on a desktop application rather than a purely web-based app.
How does the BC Vault store private keys differently than a Ledger?
Instead of relying on a standard recovery phrase, the BC Vault stores private keys directly in encrypted non-volatile memory, protected by a user-created PIN or password. It also features a built-in accelerometer used as an anti-tamper mechanism to wipe the device if physically compromised.
What is the global backup feature on the BC Vault Quicksilver?
The global backup feature allows users to encrypt the entire contents of the device—including all wallets and settings—onto a single microSD card. If the hardware wallet is lost or broken, the backup card can be used to instantly restore everything to a new BC Vault.
Can the BC Vault Quicksilver store multiple different cryptocurrencies?
Yes, the wallet supports thousands of different cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various ERC-20 tokens. Users can manage completely distinct wallets on the same device, each protected by a different PIN.
