Is this not called common sense?
get trusted !
thanks for the info!
Don't trust the exchanges. That's such useful advice. Bitcoin cannot be dependent on any third-party. Liquidity is great, but not at the expense of the community's robustness.
Stay vigilant don't get complacent.
thanks for the information
Seriously. Don't trust the exchanges, don't trust online wallet services, don't trust your anti-virus software, and don't trust anybody online.
Don't trust dacoinminster.
Good advice. I learned my lesson from BTConTilt. This is the wild west--there's little accountability, and everyone's looking to make money.
very good read
good sharing so thanks for it
I use a Linux on USB sticks with persistence to store and transact bitcoins. Using Linux Mint 11. It's a little slower than a HDD but not by much. And it's portable so I can transact just about anywhere provided that the host machine can boot from USB.
Mentally noted, thanks for the information!
It's not 100% safe, but large BTC numbers go into my vault in a pristine VMWare Virtual Machine (with backup to DVD ROM). The small change from mining goes into the regular wallet on the host OS.

Totally agree with this, my MtGox account was hacked, my password and email were changed, and my bitcoins are now gone, about 300. Nothing from MtGox, they don't give a shit. When I received the account withdrawal email, I immediately told them to freeze my account, they didn't.
When did this happen? Did you use the same password on multiple systems? Did you use a crappy short password?
I'm not trying to 'blame the victim' here - but in most cases it does seem to turn out that the user was using woefully inadequate passwords, or that the security breach was on the user's side, so please let us know if you have any information on how your 'account was hacked'.
Also - there is a daily withdrawal limit in place on most mtgox accounts.. are you saying that all 300 or so disappeared at once - or that this happened over a period of time?
How much followup have you done with mtgox support?
I see you've made another thread regarding this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbie-experience-with-mtgox-54711
Please reply there.
Mostly its a problem with short passwords, i suggest you use alphanumeric + symbols with up to 15-20 characters. Ex *(')P@$sw0Rd*_#!++>
My password wasn't crazy long or anything but there is no way in hell it was guessed or brute forced.
