A little bit of Beef Jerky, a month of VPN to test out a service, and all sort of random stuff on Bitmit!

Thanks dacoinminster...

It's an interesting tradeoff: Companies (exchanges / bitcoin startups) probably feel they should retain some secrecy or stealthiness as they embark on a Bitcoin endeavor due to questionable legal issues. At the same time, they must appear trustworthy and secure to their users, who also often go to great lengths to protect their identity. Here's hoping that the Wild West starts to self regulate itself as more people take the 'long view' and programmers stop rushing code that secures bitcoins.

Here's what I do (on a Mac)

I created a symbolic link to point to an encrypted volume which contains my wallet.dat. Unless I've mounted that encrypted volume (which is just a megabyte), I can't send bitcoins.  I use Knox to manage the security of this volume, with AES 256bit encryption (http://agilebits.com/knox). I keep this volume safe (offsite and onsite).

You can also use this method using TrueCrypt, which is free but not as easy to use.

Howdy -- I'm a regular dude with a healthy addiction to bitcoins who understand the limits on Newbies but is nonetheless a bit confused that I can do away with my limits simply by replying to a thread like this. MILLIONS OF TIMES. Just kidding.
