Topic: Is my wallet.dat safe? (Read 1007 times)
Wasn't talking about you, OP... That was directed to that scammer I quoted.
You can keep your main Bitcoin wallet on s USB stick in a safe or vault. Then access it only on a bitcoin dedicated mini- computer running Linux. Connect to the Internet by cable (no wireless!) for just a few seconds or minutes to access you wallet and make a payment/update your received bitcoins.
Thanks for your responce nikanon.
But what if I... Run a clean install of windows,
Run a virtual Os and run the bitcoin client in sandboxie?
Actually what I'm trying to get @ is one of you a hacker
and can you try to hack a wallet.dat in sucha set-up. Till
now crackers have only been using the os vunerability to
get @ people's bitcoin. We need to search for existing solutions
because @ the end of the day we all want more security layers
in an Os so people can use bitcoins. The more layers we can @
the more people will feel safe to use it eventually.
Greatest scenario would be if you had a virus ridden computer
and could still use bitcoins, with a smile (even with bitcoin specific
virusses.)
Please sir don't worry about my name, bitcoins is way more important
@ the moment.
Can somebody please test the set up? and try to hack it with whatever
bitcoin hack there is @ the moment? And please share your findings.

bad username choice dude...
I've used sandboxie before, but it's usually to keep thing IN, not keep things out. Other programs can still access sandboxed data.
If anything, run it in a virtualized OS..

Question?
Is my wallet.dat safe if I do a clean install of windows
,install http://sandboxie.com and then run my bitcoin client in sandboxie?
I would think that due to the fact, that I'm running it in sandboxie it would
be safe, but could this be a fact? I checked out this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQD_LB4gHzE
vid.
P.S. sandboxie currently doesn't run on windows8, but I mean windows7 ofcourse
