excellent advice for us newbs. thanks!
If you are thinking that I might not be trustworthy, since I am writing this post about the issue, you are approaching the appropriate level of paranoia.

Great post. Thanks for the info!
Lot of help. Thanks.
I like the individual responsibility, but ultimately the security boils down to the software used. While I agree in principle that "online wallets" should not be inherently trusted, there is trust built over time for anything that doesn't get violated on a regular basis.
This is how scam artists work. A little money at first then you get good returns/it's proven/whatever, then a little more money, then your friends' money. Hey, this is pretty good, let's borrow on the house... Boom, they're gone and you wonder what's happened.
Not that I'm saying that's the case with any particular online wallet service, just be careful with that whole trust thing.
Coming from the Silkroad scene, trust is a very important issue. Anything that can mitigate future damage should always be used. Be careful, guard your own back.
I absolutely agree with the concepts expressed in the original post.
It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

Just a thank you note, it was worth reading up on the security advice. It's easy to forget and all it takes is one lapse and everything is gone.
I think it's a good thing that newbees have to read into the subject before getting full acces. It's not an easy to grasp subject.
Great thread, Thanks :-)
Great write-up!!
Thanks for the advice.

I am new to this whole bitcoin thing and after reading a bit on how to secure my bitcoins using paper wallet i have a question,
If i decide to send someone a few bitcoins from my paper wallet will the balance remain in the same paper wallet or do i have to send out the whole amount that i have in the paper wallet?
