hazek,
I don't think that anything you said is outrageous or unreasonable, with minor exception. My point was more that there is a gap between the supply and the demand on the end-user-software spectrum.
The caveat is that any system that is online has an order of magnitude more attack surface than one that isn't. I'm not saying that there's no security to an online system, I'm saying that this thread is about "securing your savings wallet" which many users don't consider secure unless there's a physical/manual gap between the internet and your keys. I misread your statements, thinking that you were like other users who wanted the cold-storage, but also wanted all the other features that haven't been combined into any existing cold storage solution, yet. Since that's not the case, your options are significantly wider. I was simply trying to bridge your understanding between "reasonable" and "reasonable-but-doesn't-exist-yet-you-might-need-to-find-a-compromise."
If you are interested in simply a more-secure online solution, then that's a discussion worth having. And it probably won't include Armory (eventually it will have a lite mode, though).
Since I'm using encryption I believe all I should need to be very safe is protection against keylogging. With my current setup, rightly or wrongly, that's the only thing I'm worried about. And I thought having a USB with Ubuntu is a solution for that.
Now is this having my wallet secured? You tell me! Is encryption + keylogging protection enough or are there other attack vectors I'm missing and are way too risky to remain exposed to?
how common is it to have a laptop keylogged? i thought that was more a function of physically attaching a device to the keyboard wire on a desktop?
