LastPass is a "trust no one" solution-- they store my passwords encrypted with my master password, and my master password never leaves my computer. So even if LastPass is hacked my passwords are safe.<br /><br />As for trusting everybody in my "meatspace" : I've been planning on writing a blog post on how I keep my bitcoins secure, and part of that is how I keep my computer secure, so even if somebody breaks into my office and steals it they won't be able to steal my passwords.<br /><br />There is still a lot of technical work to be done to create solutions for keeping large amounts of bitcoin safe; there are no easy answers, because there is always a security/convenience tradeoff.Gavin Andresenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105284501947275111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12429580.post-20322686207330057942011-06-22T10:40:40.734-04:002011-06-22T10:40:40.734-04:00How safe is The password site?

Others will see an opportunity in the Mt.Gox collapse. Now, if I could only find a BTC ebay-like site to sell stuff rather than exchanges on which to gamble, I'd be a happy camper.<br /><br />BTW: You got good press in CNBC Media Money<br />http://www.cnbc.com/id/43470148<br />Good job.<br /><br />-rob listerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12429580.post-54455056552505095372011-06-20T15:07:01.671-04:002011-06-20T15:07:01.671-04:00Good advice.Good advice.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618699886847481349noreply@blogger.com
