Title: Safe exchange login? Post by: xxnewbiecoinerxx on November 05, 2013, 07:51:19 PM So far i have learned how to make a safe paper wallet with bootable Ubuntu. What i understand is that exchanges are very vulnerable to hacking. I have chosen Bitstamp for exchange (hope i get verified soon). I was wondering if is it safe to use that bootable os for exchange too?

Bootable Ubuntu only helps you avoid someone stole your access; can't make the site better. To minimize risk just keep your money there for the shortest time possibile.

I think the threats come from both sides. There are numerous threads about keeping pc safe. The thing is i use pirated windows which is a big threat by itself. I was wondering if using bootable os eliminates threats from my side? Or is it necessary to use "clean" pc with good internet security? Title: Re: Safe exchange login?
