Good tips. Gotta be safe, especially since the network is somewhat anonymous.

I will store my bitcoins offline on my external harddrive and encrypted with true crypt.

This is what I do.  TNO all the way!

There is no "real" Trust on online world and as long as you don't actually know the individual and can cause him some social damage at least They is a possibility of scamming.

Good post OP, we become too comfortable when things don't go bad and we are blindsided when they do.

Bitcoin: money chosen by the market.

Trust is an interesting thing. You must trust people to some extent. It's a learned experience. You extend a little trust, which begets trust.

Extending small trust to learn is how we grow a strong society. But as has been said, in this "new jungle" be cautious.

It'd be nice. Not sure if it's true or not, but I read on CNN that someone wants to create ATMs to take out real money using a bitcoin balance. Be interesting if they can make it work safely though!

I think a valid user service should be developed, the market is getting bigger and new users come every day.

There could be that companies that are registred and have physical offices could hold your coins as the banks do today. This also comes with the risk that your bc also get registred and u have to start pay tax for it :-)

If its gonna be as big as it is begginning to be there have to come easy, safe systems for holding BC.

Im still waiting for my first bitcoin and hopefully I will get on someday. My Mhash/s is  around 540 in evereage and I have no clue how long it will take until I see my first coin in my unprotected wallet.


someday this account will have 2 or even 3 coins.

Mine hard!

Sad, but true. Especially given the nature of BTC as decentralized and anonymous. At least with my credit card I can call and inquire about unfamiliar transactions...

Why do people use online wallets?

One reason would be for easy access.  Say your out and dont' have access to your local PC / wallet but you need to send some BC.. jump online from any pc and access your wallet..

If you think online wallets are a good idea, best to read about the recent instawallet failure.
