Resize it and republish it. It sounds like it would be very good to have around.

Don't trust "BBOD The Best Futures Exchange"

Why should I trust your VM? For all I know you included a cron job to send my coins to your address.
edit: also heads up recent news says Dropbox doesn't securely encrypt anything

All posts by me after 2012 were a compromised account. Probably by "BBOD The Best Futures Exchange". SORRY Y'ALL

Such a thing would be very easy to spot. |

Sure. But I imagine that there is a lot of room in a VM to hide a nefarious program that's less detectable than a cron job.

The last time I built a virtual machine I also provided instructions (provided by a third party!) on how to verify the integrity of the installed software. |

Nice. I should point out that I'm just playing devils advocate here, there are many forum members who are more trusting than they probably should be, and we will (eventually) see targeted attacks on these gullible ones.

The image for tinyCore Bitcoin v 0.1.2 is now online. @Plato, I certainly appreciate the point of view you have expressed. My intention is to provide a construction kit for those who are interested in building their own environment. Anybody want to help with this? My number one priority at the moment is to get the encrypted file system working. I'm using cryptosetup using these instructions. I've successfully created the partition and encrypted file system, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to mount on boot. Anybody want to help with this? |

Great information! Here is the Dropbox Security Overview included with the terms of service. Note this relevant suggestion: How to Add Your Own Layer of Encryption to Dropbox
Dropbox does not discriminate between the types of files stored in your Dropbox nor the applications used to open those files. This means you can use your own software encryption methods, such as third-party encryption software, to keep your files secure on your terms.

Meh all this is too complicated. I'm just going to write a batch script to unrar my wallet and then a few seconds after the bitcoin client is closed, re-rar (with a password) the wallet file. I'm not a programmer, but I think I can make something like that that would work behind the scenes without me even noticing. I still have the bulk of my btc in a "savings account" wallet that is encrypted with TC and in multiple locations. But you're right, I should still have my main use wallet encrypted, just in case.

In addition, regular Windows users may never have even heard of cron jobs. |

I have created a VirtualBox Virtual Machine (VM) image designed for Windows users of Bitcoin. The VM is based on Tiny Core Linux and the Bitcoin client version 0.3.21. Wow, very nice! Do you have a list of instructions to set up an identical copy of this Tiny Core Linux Bitcoin client? I would like to install one for my QEMU Virtual Machine Manager. When finished, I can also upload a copy. |

Oops sorry, I read past that passage where you said that instructions to set up our own are forthcoming.  |

Wow, thanks for the update! I had already finished installing a tinycore linux in a KVM VM and was going to study the install process of bitcoin. Now I will just follow your script and see what comes out. Great!  |

I am quite sure you meant: sudo chmod +x bitcoin
