Title: secure flash drives for storing wallets Post by: superduh on August 15, 2013, 06:49:31 AM besides encrypting wallet.dat etc
having some secure features on the flash drive itself sounds like a bonus. just ran across this: http://www.apricorn.com/products/hardware-encrypted-drives/aegis-secure-key.html also heard about ironkey thoughts? suggestions? other products? crap - not under mining hardware but not sure where to put this thread Title: Re: secure flash drives for storing wallets Post by: snootch on August 15, 2013, 07:22:00 AM If your'e looking a for secure independent wallet, i'd look into the Trezor http://www.bitcointrezor.com/ They are doing pre-orders for 1 BTC with a November delivery target and no shipping cost. If you are gun-shy about pre-orders {Thanks BFL!} one of the developers of Trezor is the founder of Slush's pool and has been involved in Bitcoin since the early days. I think having the wallet completely seperate from the PC is a must for wallet security.
