BTC is based on a leap of faith, if you trust no one - don't use it  Smiley

Although I don't see why you should trust any fiat currency more than BTC...

Thanks for the good advice.
I've been trading bitcoins on #bitcoin-otc.  The web-of-trust which is a very useful way to gauge another users trustworthiness, but it's worth the reminder that even that is not foolproof.

Nice post dacoinminster and I agree with most of your points, though I believe that there are levels of trust. All depends on the "volume". I wouldn't go to the supermarket carrying 10000 euros on me so the same goes with Bitcoin... I wouldn't use the "big" (or "savings" if you prefer) wallet to make transactions all over the internet. A hosted wallet service is quite OK as well, if you use it for "pocket money" transactions.

I'd like to add Trust no-pc either. I don't know how, but in the last 3 o 4 days somebody cracked my e-mail password and requested a password recovery from Deepbit, then changed the Reward Address... I've lost almost 1BTC, until I realize what happened.

Therefore, don't trust any other pc than yours, and eventually check your payments address...

Good stuff here.  I'm realizing more and more that I'm not nearly secure enough with my BTC stash.

Only common sense and WOT like #bitcoin-otc help. Got never scammed in my 3 years of using btc so far.

Use common sense, and then some. Just like OP said, if someone tells you to trust them, then don't.
