If an EMP attack plays out as feared, bitcoin would be the least of your worries.

Imagine the power being out for years, maybe decades.

As someone suggested, after difficulty will fall to 1, we will use pen and paper to continue blocks checking and mine coins.

Seems like people are spreading some FUD on bitcoin and EMP pulses in some comments I read.  How does MtGox or other services defend against this?  Paper wallet?  Faraday Cage?  Can anyone from Mt. Gox comment on this?

EMP should not destroy data within hard drives, their electronics yes, but a data recovery company can read the magnetic media directly with special tools.
