Title: Securing wallet offline? Post by: bantam on May 30, 2013, 11:36:11 PM Can someone quickly walk through a process for encrypting and securing a wallet offline (e.g. on a USB drive)? Also, how does one switch between storing offline and executing transfers online with this type of setup?

Though, as comforting as the security of keeping everything off of my machine sounds (except when I'm actually spending btc, of course), the compromise in convenience for this looks like it could be a huge roadblock for bitcoin gaining widespread acceptance. Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to the security of online wallets, or too much credit to the security traditional online banking, but I can't imagine people uninterested in the mechanics of bitcoin using it without a really simple, airtight way to handle transactions and storage. I realize this is a pretty broad tangent: anyone else care to speculate? |
