Yeah, but a forgotten password is everybody's own fault,

It really doesn't make any difference whose fault it is. If anything, having it be your fault makes it worse.

Of course not. Since they can't be expected to secure their machine, they shouldn't be holding BitCoin keys on it. The best way to use a credit card is not to become a bank or a merchant.

I was under the impression that BitCoin is meant for everybody, not only for banks... So there should be security enough for everybody to use it, otherwise it will fail.

Propose a scheme. I don't know how to do it so that the upside exceeds the downside. If you do, please share.

As long as "oh noes you could install a keylogger specifically for bitcoin, which makes no encryption better than having encryption" is an argument, I won't bother, thank you ;-)
