That's really not a bad system.  Simply keeping your device offline is a good way to protect it from remote intrusion.  Although don't you need to put that machine online to transfer coin from the account?

I just heard about the bitcoin android app though, makes me think a old android phone with no service plan (so offline) might mike a good mobile wallet.  Of course assuming you have a wifi connection wherever you need to spend anything, you'd also need to use whatever wifi connection they have, and you really can't trust public wifi.

Thanks.  I think I like the vault/safety-deposit-box approach with redundant copies.

Yes, great info.  I'll create a super-secure file once I actually start making some money.

Wallet security seems like one of the more major problems for the general population to use BitCoins, especially considering the unability to recover stolen BitCoins. It seems like Credit Card Fraud squared, if BitCoins were to become really popular.

Although, from a purely theoretical view (and one that most hardcore BitCoin users would oppose), it might be possible to create a central institute then, which could oversee which BitCoins are "legit" and which are reported "stolen".

I like it! Educational and offensive.

I suggest everyone use this no matter how little amount of bitcoins you have. When i first started with bitcoins I was sent a wallet stealer and the next day I didn't have any coins left in my wallet. Completely swiped.
