Topic: HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet - page 59. (Read 276221 times)
I just keep it simple. Export my private key. Use gpg to symmetrically encrypt it. 10 years later its still good.
Thanks for the nice read on this. IT will help me keep safe.
The idea of a live boot USB or CD to store your wallet on, keeping it and any trace of the wallet off your online computer is solid.
Or, if you know ~exactly~ where your wallet data is on your computer... lock it down, copy it to a USB, then secure delete it off your hard drive... then eject the CD (or USB) works just as well.
I prefer USB.
And prefer not to need to reboot into another OS just to look at my wallet.

Thanks a lot for the info guys - i'm going to need your advise in the near future
Good to know since I already got about 5 BTC stolen from double spends (ridick). I have ubuntu just have to burn the iso onto a DVD (yes I said a DVD) since my board/bios wont boot from USB for some stupid reason... (sad). thanks for post.

Great technical tips!
One big risk has not been covered though; physical violence / threat of physical violence
Seems like the weakest link as with many other things of value.
To hedge such an attack one best keep a wallet or two which can be "sacrificed" under extreme circumstances and a few others that are literally out of immediate reach.

I have a quick question about the wallet file.
I could make a backup of my wallet, use my main wallet, then go back to the backup and it would update and be correct, is this right? Or do I have to update my wallet backup after each transaction?

Didn't read through the whole post and someone probably mentioned it by now but "armory wallet" work pretty good for me security wise.
+1 good info man.
Thanks OP. I am kind of a c*nt.

Thanks for helping me secure my wallet =)
Duly noted. Thanks for the info.
Someone needs to make a tool specifically to make it fast and easy to create paper Bitcoin wallets.
BitAddress.org is pretty good. Just make sure to check the signatures, save the page to a file, and then only run the script on an offline computer and print to an airgapped printer etc.
interesting.
I think you're pretty interesting.
Hey, hey... no public flirting.
