What are the chances that say you buy 10,000 btc and the market completely dying. I mean is btc worth investing in and using and saving your money that way? I'm interesting in doing so, but a year from now I don't want ten grand worth 1 grand.
Nice guide will refer to it when I have enough bitcoins to be worth stealing. Nothing will ever be 100% secure though, but if you rounded upwards the claim is probably correct. Cheers
Thank you for this guide
I have been running without any protection whatsoever for the past 8 years, and have had a total of 5 viruses
You think you've had only five. The danger is on the ones you don't know you have. :-)
Thanks. Great read, informative and, dare I say it, funny!

Just adding my 0.00002 BTC
I run OSX. My security is:
1 - Create small truecrypt volume ~ 30mb
2 - Mount truecrypt volume
3 - Install (first time) and run (every time after that) the Bitcoin client from truecrypt volume.
4 - When not using Bitcoin client, simply close application.
5 - After Bitcoin client is closed, dismount truecrypt volume, which then is a highly encrypted file containing wallet.dat and all other Bitcoin app files.
I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on this. It is very simple, and allows me to store my encrypted file anywhere as a backup online.

Wallet security seems like one of the more major problems for the general population to use BitCoins, especially considering the unability to recover stolen BitCoins. It seems like Credit Card Fraud squared, if BitCoins were to become really popular.
Although, from a purely theoretical view (and one that most hardcore BitCoin users would oppose), it might be possible to create a central institute then, which could oversee which BitCoins are "legit" and which are reported "stolen".
