How To Secure Large Bitcoin Accounts
USE A BRAIN WALLET!
This is what I do to keep my cryptocurrency accounts safe from hackers:
1. Boot up PC with a easy to use Live Linux CD like UBUNTU or TAILS: http://www.pendrivelinux.com
2. Keep a saved copy of the Bitcoin/Litecoin client source code on a usb flash drive along with a saved copy of the brainwallet generator such as bitaddress (for Bitcoin) or liteaddress (for Litecoin).
3. Insert usb and copy source-code and address generator to home directory on live cd instance.
4. Verify (md5sum, PGP, etc...) source-code of Bitcoin/Litecoin client and then compile the source-code (just a few commands. To make things faster, you can use a saved script that you have stored on the usb flash drive.).
5. Load the saved block-chain that you have previously stored on the usb flash drive. Copy the saved block-chain to the bitcoin/litecoin directory.
6. Start the Bitcoin/Litecoin client and update the saved blockchain.
7.Unplug your internet connection then use the offline wallet generator brainwallet tab to generate your Bitcoin/Litecoin Private Key.
8. Import the Private key into the Bitcoin/Litecoin Client.
9. Reconnect your internet connection then perform whatever Bitcoin/Litecoin transaction(s) you desire.
10. Reboot/Shutdown.
That is all. All of your coins are safe in an offline brain wallet. Do not keep a wallet.dat file!
