Make your own MPEx database copy.

That's right. Go to http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/db_dump.php and save the dump somewhere. There's enough info there to reconstruct ownership of all coins and all assets in case of catastrophe (such as the Internet no longer existing, for instance).

Good deal. I assume part of the disaster plan would be to release the key. Is this the MPEx key which signs the STATs and such?

[MPOE-PR]

No, it's Mr. P's own key, and I don't think that'd get released. The idea is that even if all our backups somehow burn the data can still be reconstructed from unknown sources.

So that is why this specifically is step 1:

Step 1. Create a new GPG key on a machine that never connects to the Internet. Do not advertise this key anywhere, do not register it with gribble, do not use it anywhere at all.

Got the answer in IRC:

<sgornick> mircea_popescu: If I used for trading on MPEx my main GPG key that I use for WoT (and  has my e-mail address), can someone figure out what assets I own?
<mircea_popescu> not unless either some servers are seriously broken into or someone cracks gpg (or pgp)
