Amazing post, will be very useful in the future. I'd like to eventually use BTC often, with income and expenses in BTC, but I'd also like to have a "hoard" of decent size as well.

is there anywhere a good and printable guide how to use bitcoin safe?
Use an encrypted OS (etc. Ubuntu) where only BitCoin is installed. Most of the time it hasn't to be connected to the internet - only if you want to send some bitcoins to someone else.
But this is a little bit paranoid
well...you send a coin and hope to get something in return....or vice-versa.
Fair call man... Nobody online is worth losing your cheese over
Just went ahead and encrypted my wallet thanks to your post
Man, if I could get out of noob jail, I'd have a solution to enhance the "trust no one"-ness of Bitcoin.
I usually just wait till they get good reviews from other users. But then again, somebody has to be the first one to buy...
With linuxcoin I can access my wallet all over the place.
Just be careful whom to trust.
My pass usually is 1234
Is that secure enough?
Is that secure enough?
Sure it is, whats ur email ?
I think you hit some important points.
It's very suspicious to me, that right after all of the fraud allegations started being mentioned, some guy comes in with a template website and some seemingly professional words claiming to be starting some type of "protection service" called the UABB. If this thing isn't a scam, I don't know what is.

Another secure possibility to generate strong passwords is KeePassX / 1Password in combination with a YubiKey.
Trust nobody!!! OK!
with bitinstant no longer doing the cash to bitcoin address ive had to find more vendors and so far ive been very lucky with not having anyone rip me off yet.
For instance, your password clue file might say:
My standard password + My throwaway password (backwards, all caps) + &#$%@ + First two sentences of first paragraph of page 19 of my favorite book (include all capitalization and punctuation) + My wife's mother's middle name + My son's favorite superhero + My favorite number times 8734 + food my wife hates (backwards, all caps) + 9-digit number stored with my paper will + 10-character password stored in my safety deposit box + . . . .
My standard password + My throwaway password (backwards, all caps) + &#$%@ + First two sentences of first paragraph of page 19 of my favorite book (include all capitalization and punctuation) + My wife's mother's middle name + My son's favorite superhero + My favorite number times 8734 + food my wife hates (backwards, all caps) + 9-digit number stored with my paper will + 10-character password stored in my safety deposit box + . . . .
My god that is excessive.
When I create passwords, I find a quotation or sentence I like (perhaps from a graphic novel). Then I memorize it. Suppose the sentence I memorize is (taken, with slight modification, from _The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia_):
"With a single swing of the sword, the goddess Hylia rent the Earth."
Then my base password would become: WassotstgHrtE.
From here, I might add some other symbols (from a standard set I frequently use).
11WassotstgHrtE11
In any case, you get the idea. Easy to remember. Damn secure. And not some complicated mess of nuthattery. =)
Also, get an Iron Key.
I lost my bitcoins to my own stupidity of forgetting my passphrase 
thanks for the information
