Still a little confused on Wallets.

MD5 hashes to verify maybe?

what would happen if you had a memory error when writing your private key to disk...

how can you confirm that your wallet's private key is actually valid?

/paranoid

If you are really paranoid, you could export he private key, and then import it into another offline wallet and confirm that it generates the same bitcoin address.

[redemptor]

Is the last known wallet(location) of every bitcoin ever mined identified in the blockchain ?
If so, are password crackers/hackers able to bombard wallets ,hoping for weak passwords?
