Thanks everyone for your replies!!

Well, I already have 3 copies on 3 different cloud services providers, a copy on a usb key and I still have to do the CD Copy. Ill make one for me and give one to a relative. I guess this way it should be safe.....

Hello everyone!!

Noob here on the forum. But not noob to bitcoins. I have one question in mind that I still need an answer to. I bought a few bitcoins one or two years ago when they were just a buck a piece and since then I have seen the price go up to 250$. I don't actually intend to get rid of my coins... At least not in a near future....

My bitcoins software runs on an old laptop. The bitcoins files is starting to take a lot of space on my hard drive. But, even if I don't intend doing anything with the coins right now, I still continue to synchronize with the network.

I was wondering if I could just store my wallet (inside a truecrypt container, of course...) on a CD and a few cloud servers and just uninstall my bitcoins software and forget about it for the next decade (or until I can sell my coins for 1000000$.... :-P ).

Will it still works?? Would I still be able to use the same wallet file, synchronize and sell my coins??

Thanks for your help!!

SZ.
