Yet another "high secure" wallet service hosted on a virtual server ?

Well, looks like I'm out 10 BTC....what really pisses me off is that they say the hack occurred on OCT 23rd, but all of my BTC was added after that date....which means if they would have identified and announced the breach sooner, I would have lost less BTC

Do you know the best way to store you're wallet offline?  Still pretty new to this and have my stuff online.  Based on what i've been reading, and since it is so profitable for someone to find ways to hack online wallets, i want to be safe in knowing I can't be hacked!

Armory is the best, but if you're looking for something lightweight, you could spring for electrum.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Both look great and compatible for my Mac!

I also use COINBASE and they can generate a paper wallet.  That's where I'm putting my new coins from now on :-(

I currently use blockchain to store my wallet.

Has anyone done this for their offline wallet?
