Very good information. I probably won't need to do all that as I don't like to have a big amount of BTC in my wallet. I usually earn some BTC then spend it once I get a decent amount. But this seems like a good guide for those who do insane or big BTC trades.

I have found various other sources that touch on this topic.
Here are a few to get you in the right direction....

To add to my above post....

Maybe someone can steer me in the right direction:
I am still trying to find out a good way to have two separate wallets in Ubuntu, the idea being that a TrueCrypt hidden partition (inner and outer volumes) would have a different wallet in each.
Ideally I'd have the entire wallet in the TC volume and not on the Ubuntu system. Clearly I am still learning with Linux and Bitcoin... Any tips appreciated!

If you go this route, just make sure when you open Bitcoin use the -datadir option and point it to your mounted Truecrypt volume otherwise the data will go in .bitcoin folder.

SO the 100% secure wallet is only a CD?

Awesome, helpful information!

The development group I am working with is currently working on a secure wallet that cannot be accessed from any ip other than that of the local host 127.0.0.1 making it unaccessable to remote hosts.

There will also be a layer of md5 encryption for further protection.

Stay tuned guys the bitcoin is about to become a lot more accessible

W00t! MD5 encryption! can't get better then that 

[highlevelminer]

Well its mostly to keep it secure for those who are concerned with physical access to their wallet.

In the case of those trying to establish remote connection from a host ip other than theirs it would literrally be impossible to access the dat file from the sserver provided.

Without being able to access the dat file remote transfer of funds can not begin. Hell they can not even see how much money is stored in the wallet or the wallet I'd information period.

Of course the concept is still in developement though...

I think duck might have had issue with you referring to md5 as encryption.
