So they are safe until my first spend? How could a keylogger be installed on a comp that has only had CD's touch it?
I veiw it as, as soon as it touches the web it's been violated, so if I spend it must be a complete spend.
How is this, new hard drive, install windows, install QT, dumppriv key, print it out, wipe out/burn hard drive, not once connected to web.
Should I encrypt it, connect to web and let it sync, then burn it with out ever typing in the passphrase again? If I never connect it to the web and do what I said how would my public/private address be valid?

Keylogger or Man-in-the-middle attack can get any password but it imply being connected.
Once I type it in to spend it thought right...? If I do my initial steps than anytime I spend it, completely empty it would it not be protected until I spend?

..If I were to ever spend that BTC I would empty the entire wallet.
While not connected to web on new harddrive... Put cd on computer.. install QT client, go to encrypt wallet, type in passphrase.
Why would I tell you my ciphers.. When I eventually am less lazy I will put a public address and an encrypted private address on here with 100 milibtc you can go to town on attempting to get it.
The vigenere cipher has only been broken if it's encrypting a language as there are common letters, letter pairings etc that makes it possible...

You should be safe with your method, but as always linux is recommended.
No he's not safe at all. Stop misleading people into oblivion. If you get my encrypted wallet with 25+ chars how will it get decrypted? When BTC passes a certian price I will have a paper wallet. Uhh... Because you type it in? I can just grab the wallet.dat and then decrypt it with the password you entered. No paper wallet is 100% secure unless it is encrypted with a strong BIP38 passphrase and created under 100% offline conditions. How do you plan to get that password...... Where is that text stored..? (I am quite curious as nothing would ever be safe if passwords are this easy to get) I'd uses a symbol and modified viegrene cipher.

A simple hacker can get all of your information. Stopping your computer from connecting to the internet and then allowing it to do so again is meaningless, the information can still be collected and then uploaded whenever there's internet available. Also, Windows 8 is full of NSA backdoors. You need to build a cheap pc that has never been online and never will. Use Electrum to sign transactions, then broadcast it on an internet connected device.
How would they get my info, my wallet.dat I can understand but how could they get the passphrase?

I hope not. Down to 250 and staying in that range for at least half a year would be fantastic IMHO. That would weed out the gold diggers (and create an interesting stress test for miners) and make it possible to focus on the fundamentals - the technology. Bitcoins worth shouldn't be measured in the price per BTC, it goes a lot deeper than that, but for that to really show a lot of developing is still needed.
A stress test as in mining in the negative?

I still maintain it's someone attempting to buy up a ton of coins before they pump it back up..
IMO they are testing their control over the market.

Since the US requested assistance from Denmark by asking for a C-130 to drop Aid for the refugees in northen Iraq, a lot of danes are screaming to the government not to send f-16 fighter jets to the region to protect civilians and to bomb strategic important areas for ISIS/IS.
And other countries must have gotten the same request from the US.
I personally think that we (Denmark) Should send 6 F-16 fighters to help. 4 for missions and 2 backups.
What do you think about military actions in northen Iraq?
People from a time when America wasn't harassing the entire planet. They don't want to fight endless wars.. although cpt Obama with his war on everything under the sun doesn't like that idea.

If officer Wilson did indeed kill Michael Brown in cold blood....why didn't he shoot and kill his friend Dorian Johnson, the main witness to the shooting too? Dead men tell no tales...
Arrogance.. when was the last time you heard of a cop being charged with murder while on duty? Paid leave at worst.. oooh okay. The term Pig exists for a very good reason.

Thanks guys!!
Anyone got a good link on how BIP008 works? I am tempted to just encrypt it myself witha modified vinergene cipher mixed with a symbol cipher. So I could decrypt with out computer.

I am currently using windows...
My backup key plan is pretty much, new hard drive, computer disconnected from web, install windows 8 ( :S ), put on Bitcoin QT (with CD.. no USB's), encrypt wallet, connect to web, download block chain, send BTC to wallet, remove harddrive from computer.
Do you guys thing the NSA, Microsoft, etc can still get my paraphrase this way?

Hopefully the site doesnt change TOOO much, I like it as it is... Agreed.. don't ditch the alts on that site..

Weak hand and margin call wipe out a lot of over leveraged traders.
What remain now is people who are true believer in bitcoin.
IMO not yet there will be more pain.. but soon. I am calling feb 2015 for a rally.

It starts now? What was Dec to now?
|
|

It's for the same exact job, otherwise it does not make sense...
Got any proof on that, because I'm postive they skew it to make it look horrible.

What a load of bollocks. I don't buy this.
