Thanks!

I had a significant amount on Gox for my pathetic attempts at trading, to be ready whenever there was movement, so I could lose more money not making a profit off of trading. I've gotten most of the coins out, but a significant amount is still stuck, as I described in that post. Happy to hear you read it!

Also, I consider myself fairly technically literate. Any walkthrough of what's considered "best practice" that contains the words "open the laptop and resolder..." shows that bitcoin has quite a bit of usability hurdles yet to solve before its mainstream breakthrough.


Thanks for including the link in the thread! In order to get to usability, I believe us who are early adopters must first get familiar with the best practice of cold storage, and probably frustrated over it, so we can start eliminating the pain points one by one for the general public.

Cheers,
Rick
