Just send them to MtGox or a private online wallet (like MyBitcoin). Title: Re: Does any body know of a bitcoin bank?

A client that never connected to the net is about as good as it gets. Title: Re: Does any body know of a bitcoin bank? Post by: tehcodez on June 15, 2011, 02:15:19 AM I know a wonderful one....

I sent them a message about a lost password more than a week ago. I still have not received a reply. The only way to contact them is through the online system they provide (which I used) and apparently they don't even check that. Title: Re: Does any body know of a bitcoin bank?

I just encrypt the wallet.dat file onto a cheap 128 meg thumbdrive then put it into my safety deposit box. Destroying the unencrypted copies on my PC is also necessary.

So there is no Bitcoin Bank just wallets? Do they have any kind of assurance in case of errors?

Title: Re: Does any body know of a bitcoin bank? Post by: thallium205 on June 15, 2011, 04:10:46 AM I was curious about this question too. I am aware of websites like mybitcoin.com, but what about an insured bank where you would be reimbursed if the bank was "robbed" or destroyed?

How would that possibly work? Title: Re: Does any body know of a bitcoin bank? Post by: yourpharmacy on June 15, 2011, 04:44:38 AM I would create encrypted drive in a file container with software like truecrypt, with long enough pass phrase, make a new wallet on this drive, send bitcoins to that wallet, unmount encrypted drive, make a few backup copies of encrypted file container and put them in different places including online storage, just in case.
