    For those merchants that are keeping a wallet.dat on a hosted server, how do you get around (or not care about) the trust issue of hosting company employees getting your wallet.dat?

    Is there any way to set it up so that the host can't actually get to it?

    (eg. by keeping the wallet.dat on your home PC and somehow connecting your websites to it via JSON? ...in that case, the host could still see your JSON password and do a 'sendfrom')

    My only step so far has been to get my bitcoin directory on their 'exclude' list for their automated backups... so at least the wallet.dat shouldn't be getting copied elsewhere. (I back it up manually to my home pc).
