I'll do this service for anyone, for 2.5 BTC (while 1 BTC is in the $20 range), including shipping.  If you receive the package un-tampered, you should be safe.  Contact me if you are interested.

I am not questioning your integrity personally, but if someone were to take you up on your offer, it automatically makes what you are selling completely worthless (ie. complete wallet security.)  That person could never be secure and with certain knowledge that another copy of his wallet is not out there in the ether somewhere..."trust" should never be a lynch-pin of ANY security system (at least it need not be.)

I like the method though.

Before someone starts trolling...trust is the lynch-pin of every security system essentially....i meant specifically the social trust suggested by jerfelix.
Honestly, I have better things to do with my time.

I'm making such kits for a few of my old college roommates who trust me.  While I'm making them, I can crank out a few more.  But clearly, if you have $500K in Bitcoins, for heaven's sake don't be so lazy as to trust some anonymous person on the internet!  Frankly I don't want that sort of responsibility.  I don't want you coming after me if the method fails!

But if you're trying to stash a few hundred bucks for a rainy day, trusting some stranger on the internet isn't that far fetched.  Heck, unless you read and understood every line of code in Bitcoin client AND Linux AND your PC's firmware AND the C++ compiler AND the libraries, you are trusting someone!

So, unless you are desperate, please don't contact me.  I'm just trying to help people out, but I'd much rather not have the responsibility!

(is that better?)
