We are very excited to announce Bitcore BTX integration with the Archos Safe-T mini hardware wallet. Latest version of the Electrum-BTX wallet supports Safe-T mini. For Bitcore community, we have now 3rd hardware wallets for Bitcore after Trezor and ELLIPAL. Now, your Bitcore has become even safer and more secure. We will continue to expand the BTX ecosystem.

ARCHOS Safe-T mini connects easily to a computer or a mobile device using a micro USB cable. Once having set the required 4 to 9 digit PIN password, it generates and safely stores a private key. Every transaction is displayed on the screen and must be physically approved using the buttons of the wallet.
