I disagree with the proposal to recalibrate. I think it is foolish.

21 million is a good number as the total number of bitcoins.

The solution to the increasing value of bitcoins is to talk in terms of millibitcoins and, soon enough, microbitcoins.

These would be soon abbreviated to millis and micros. Having an input field for millibitcoins instead of whole bitcoins is of course trivial to implement.

Hi,

got interested in bitcoins before I left for a trip overseas.

Downloaded the client onto my GNU/Linux computer but was not able to buy any bitcoins before leaving.

Have now bought some (100+) bitcoins while travelling by accessing the necessary web sites through my android phone.

I have most of the bitcoins still on the Mt. Gox exchange but have moved some on to Mybitcoin.

I would actually like to put most of them into a wallet. However I didn't bring the address of the wallet I set up on my GNU/Linux computer back home.

I do have access to Window computers at internet cafes and I am carrying a USB stick.

Would it be a good idea to install bitcoin onto the USB stick at an internet cafe and move my bitcoin into that wallet and then erase all traces from the internet cafe computer? Even if I run it from the USB stick I think the wallet is still stored on the C: drive so I would have to be careful to properly copy and erase...

Are there other solutions? Or is it safest to just leave it in the Mt. Gox exchange and/or in Mybitcoin until I get home (in a week and a half)?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
