don't trust online wallet services

even to Mtgox?

I only store bitcoins offline. I send money to MtGox or other exchanges in small amounts, and only for the length of time it takes to make a transaction and get my money out again.

You may choose to trust an online wallet service if you feel they are trustworthy. I will not trust ANY online wallet until bitcoins can be stored safely even when a hacker has complete access to them. For instance, if bitcoins could be marked as savings in the protocol and become non-transferable for a period of time selected by their owner.

Don't always trust yourself either. Especially when talking about money/investing. You are driven by emotions, which is bad.

This whole thing will never work if you can't trust the exchanges that you're poring money into. Mt. Gox, for example, is a place I think we can safely say IS safe, even if their registration requirements are a bit strict (need an id and proof of address). Other than them, though, I'm suspicious of everything.

I recommend AES + TwoFish + Serpent encryption of a hidden partition on a truecrypt-ed hdd on a non-connected PC.

Had never heard of Serpent. What does it offer compared to other encryptions?

I recommend AES + TwoFish + Serpent encryption of a hidden partition on a truecrypt-ed hdd on a non-connected PC. Only access the bitcoin network via tor + at least 2 OpenVPN based VPNs.

P.s.

Also only buy bitcoins from a shaddy character on a park bench in Washington with a brown paper bag of cash. The code word is "thunder" Grin

This is seriously a ton of paranoia. I guess you can never be too careful, but then you have to keep your sanity. Cmon.
