Do you see any attacks that I haven't thought of?
Would it be in the swap space somewhere unencrypted?
The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin. It is the first distributed timestamping system.

Yes, that's true. That should be mentioned. I don't use swap for that reason myself.

But some footnotes:

- If Bitcoin is implemented properly, it wouldn't store keys in swappable memory.
- Swap should be encrypted anyway - but that makes hibernation more difficult.
