I use DiskCryptor (TrueCrypt replacement) with 25+ character random password to protect my computer from tampering and forensic examination. If I was at risk of being hacked then I will apply password to wallet.dat in Bitcoin-Qt.
What are the benefits of each of those?
Why are you using that one as a replacement to TrueCrypt?
DiskCryptor have a lot better performance on my old CPU
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_4#Willamette The attached benchmark screens speak for themselves.
DC pros:
+works better with RAID arrays (i'm running RAID array on my computer)
+generally faster because of better code optimization (on computers lacking hardware AES acceleration the DC's more secure Serpent is even faster than TC's AES!)
+more configurable bootloader - good for servers
TC pros:
+better for single drives - can encrypt entire drives including unallocated space versus DC volume-based approach.
+ Hidden volumes and hidden operating system
+ ability to mount as read-only
I think with DC, you can easily set up a self-destruct sequence upon entering either the wrong password, or a password specifically to do that.
In TC, you can too, sort of, but it's a work around.
Entirely false. Both DiskCryptor and TrueCrypt does no have self-destruct feature. It is useless against any half-capable enemy because enemy will make copies before and ask to write down password on piece of paper. If You understand russian then DiskCryptor author NTLDR made very clear and profane statement about this.
How did they get the second batch of DPR's personal coins?
It's very sad ;( seems like they cracked DPR to cooperate or he did not use full disk encryption on his computer. Or his security got compromised. Anyway we most likely don't know full story. And it is bad news that the FBI have their CP masturbating hands on 1.5% of all bitcoins ever in existence.
