Yeah, it's crazy. I watched 38Gh/s miners go for $500+ on ebay. That's more than $12 per Gh. People buying like that are what's making the price go up. A Gh is not worth more than $3.

Good steps to know. I have several wallets I downloaded and realized that keeping it all stored on my main laptop was not going to be a wise idea. I actually think purchasing a laptop, wiping it, loading it up similar to the way you said, and backing it up remotely is the way to go.
