If you must "read up".. remove wallet from computer immediately!! 

I guess everything is relative. For me, it was mostly about starting to use a safe VPN (that accepts bitcoins). I think I had most bases covered before that.

Checklist:

1. Filesystem encryption.
2. Password management.
3. Individually encrypted wallets.
4. Local firewall.
5. Cron virus scan.
6. Sane file permissions.
7. VPN (with failsafe switch).

8. Encrypted wallets stored on several locations.

Todo:

1. Paper backup in safe.

I admit im not rocking a paper backup yet.. Its not even on my todo list but it should be!! Best advise is dont keep it all in one place. The coolest i saw was a ring that had a partial address engraved on the inside.. The rest in the head!

The thing I'm concerned about is keyloggers.

My password is very long and secure and I have it completely memorised, I only use it for things like Bitcoin and it's never been written down.

Due to the price of these coins I'm going to get a separate computer (probably a cheap netbook) to store my Bitcoin client on.

I'll use it only for doing transfers, nothing else.


Of course I have my wallets backed up in various places as well.

So, have you guys heard of these bitcoin things? I heard they might be worth 200 some day.

[NamelessOne]

186 oh yeah

So... It's getting time to order myself a sturdy safe for my paper wallet. Anyone else gets the same feeling? :p

Yes.

Is btc-24 ddos attacked atm? it's 11.30 in EU, money were flowing in, shit.

I hope that you mean you have various passwords for different services (if you are talking about a password for online bitcoin things).

Never use the same password on any website that you do to access your wallet! (Should go without saying, I know. But just in case!)

I had a dream last night that the value of Bitcoin dropped to 0, scary.

Then I woke up, looked at my firefox ticker and chilled by playing this song one more time

I suggest Armory.
One "live" computer with armory, with "watching-only" wallets.
Another small computer completely offline, doesn't even need the blockchain. Has the same wallets, but including the privkeys.
Create a tx, move it to your offline computer via usb-key, it signs, you send the tx on your online computer.

This, with several independent wallets (like one small wallet which has the funds directly on the online computer too) is pretty secure.

Hopefully the tears will truly begin when they must buy back at a much higher price, haha.

I like it when people describe nuclear blast proof solutions, ending with the humble remark, "pretty secure".

They always do.  It really is one of life's great mysteries as to why they keep trying to do this.  It freakin' hasn't worked the first thousand times, it ain't going to work this time.  Oh well. If they were smarter then they wouldn't be bears in the first place.

Haha I dreamt quite the opposite - that I witnessed the Bitcoin singularity, digits multiplying before my eyes before all the exchanges crashed.

Woke up and never did find out if that meant I was rich or penniless so it may have been the same dream :p

[ManBearPig]

Hmmm...now here's a bubble that doesn't look to be crashing anytime soon.  

Sheesh, put that shit on a log chart!

I know right?  Looking at this on a lineair scale is so uninformative...

this graph should be used for all retorts in the media when they talk about the coming bitcoin 'bubble' burst.  yeah, supernova baby!

That is some scary shit right there. The US is pretty much already bankrupt. Thing is, if BTC is worth $100,000 and the dollar is worth nothing then...are we all poor again?
