I just realized that if someone knew your wallet code, they can figure out what you're doing with your account to some degree, considering that all transactions are public and can be traced throughout the block chain. Therefore my question is should we have multiple wallets?

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

If you have the RAM for it, http://bitcoinarmory.com/ probably does what you're looking for (plus more), though the dev stresses it's in alpha.

Fwiw, the dev's on vacation, and version 0.5.1 has a bug some (including myself) experience where send transactions are initially declared invalid by Armory. The transactions still go out, and appear in Armory after one confirmation. Just a visual bug, it seems -- just make sure to check something like blockchain.info to be sure, or use an older version of Armory if it bothers you.

I've got to say that is pretty cool. I am going to give it a test run soon.

multibit lightweight client also supporting multiple wallets.

If you don't own the private keys, you don't own the coins.

did you read "light years" for "lightweight" ?

If you don't own the private keys, you don't own the coins.
