Is *anything* every really "100% secure"?

Someone needs to make a tool specifically to make it fast and easy to create paper Bitcoin wallets.

BitAddress.org is pretty good. Just make sure to check the signatures, save the page to a file, and then only run the script on an offline computer and print to an airgapped printer etc.

Duly noted. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for helping me secure my wallet =)

Thanks OP. I am kind of a c*nt. Roll Eyes

Great write-up.

Didn't read through the whole post and someone probably mentioned it by now but "armory wallet" work pretty good for me security wise.

I have a quick question about the wallet file.

I could make a backup of my wallet, use my main wallet, then go back to the backup and it would update and be correct, is this right? Or do I have to update my wallet backup after each transaction?

Great technical tips!

One big risk has not been covered though; physical violence threat of physical violence
Seems like the weakest link as with many other things of value.

To hedge such an attack one best keep a wallet or two which can be "sacrificed" under extreme circumstances and a few others that are literally out of immediate reach.

A solid post, thanks!

I highly recommend http://blockchain.info -- they're absolutely great.

Good to know since I already got about 5 BTC stolen from double spends (ridick). I have ubuntu just have to burn the iso onto a DVD (yes I said a DVD) since my board/bios wont boot from USB for some stupid reason... (sad). thanks for post.

zyphus.

Thanks a lot for the info guys - i'm going to need your advise in the near future

The idea of a live boot USB or CD to store your wallet on, keeping it and any trace of the wallet off your online computer is solid.
Or, if you know ~exactly~ where your wallet data is on your computer... lock it down, copy it to a USB, then secure delete it off your hard drive... then eject the CD (or USB) works just as well.
I prefer USB.
And prefer not to need to reboot into another OS just to look at my wallet.
IMHO
