No particular wallet in mind.

I was under the impression wallet address's are limited to 100 Huh
The limit you're probably thinking of has to do with the number of addresses the reference client (bitcoind/bitcoin-qt) creates ahead of time. See, in addition to all of the addresses you've generated, your wallet.dat (if you're using bitcoin-qt) contains an extra 100 addresses which will be used for the change from your transactions. This is why regular backups of your wallet.dat are so important; after you use those 100 addresses, bitcoind will start to use addresses that weren't in the backup, and things could get hairy.

Thanx.

.......I believe a lot of "developers" here are people learning as they go, why there seems to be a ton of badly written projects and security vulnerabilities in websites for coins, why you may be better off with a professional from elsewhere.

Bitcoin does make programming kewl again.  Cool Otherwise, nothing but porn Tongue

What about a Crypto-currency floating datacenter?   Grin

Something like what google is up to. Vip would have their own lounge area while drifting in international waters hiding from pirates.

Bitcoin should buy a cruise ship and install a datacenter.

Not a good idea to store cold-wallets online.

I personally never encrypt wallets for I use them only to generate public/private key then have them deleted. All of this done on a PC with no internet access.

Step 1. Download wallet(s) to your regular PC and save to USB drive, now insert USB to another offline computer and copy wallet.
 

Step 2. Install wallet(s) on offline PC, go to console and generate several public addresses, use command dumpprivkey to retrieve private key from each public address.


Step 3. Save all public/private key pair to a txt file or write it somewhere safe. Or get Truecrypt and create an encrypted volume if you plan to access your private keys anywhere online.

Step 4. Reformat the offline PC, wallet and all, everything.


Here's the why:
Step 1. Doesn't really matter if your online PC is infected or not, though you may want to turn off USB autorun function.

Step 2.  Addresses are generated offline to prevent keyloggers from phoning home. Thus, in the event the offline PC was already compromised, the reformat will prevent any malware waiting patiently to send all them keys the moment that offline PC finds net access.

Step 3. Encrypting wallet on an offline PC is pointless. If private keys are manually written on paper and the offline PC is reformatted you are completely safe.

Step 4. You're sure several copies are saved offline and/or your Truecrypt volume container has a strong password.

For dropbox storage, you can extract privates and save them in a Truecrypt container or encrypt your wallet. You may be your worst enemy at this point.

Store your private keys somewhere safe that whenever your system crash for whatever hell bent reasons you're able to recover your full balance via another wallet's import function.




You should probably qualify this with "manually managing keys is an easy way to make money-losing mistakes". If you want to move money into a wallet, just send a transaction.

Even bitcoin developers have stories of fat-fingering these things. It can be much worse for people who aren't clear on how wallets handle keys. There are quite tragic stories which show up on IRC and the development list from time to time, and with bitcoin valued as highly as it is, this is not the sort of mistake you want to make.


Bitcoin developers having stories of fat-fingering does make you wonder, eh Grin

Personally, having to rely on a program to maintain my balance is a little uncomfortable with bitcoin valued as highly as it is Tongue

@OP go to your wallet help-->console then type dumpprivkey [your btc address here] hit enter.
The result is your private key, now you may delete your wallet however you wish. Create as many new address you want and then dump all the private keys. That private key is considered your password to that public bitcoin address.

To spend btc from your private key to someone, use wallet import command (same flow as the above) on any new wallet, your new wallet will reflect balance after sync.
Or import via Blockchain.info's advance settings.

Guys, way off topic here.......

So far an interesting read....the thread that is. That vanity-gen post was an eye opener.


Edit:
I can use Vanity Gen to match 8 out of 32 letters in under 12 hours. 9 letters takes 2 days.  10 letters takes 4 months. 11 letters takes 2 years. 12 letters takes 10 years. 13 letters takes.....
Steps 1-41 is not 2/3rds.  Steps 1-41 are the easiest. They can't get past 42. And 43 will be doubly difficult as 42 was.   Step 42-64 take orders of magnitude longer to crack than 1-41 did.  They got the first 10 years worth done. Now the nheed to get the next 2 billion worth done, in steps 42-64.
