title: 'The key to the Bitcoin safe'

Linux Magazine has published my article, _Key to the Bitcoin Safe_, in 
issue #205. This number is available in Europe already, and will be in 
the USA on December.



_Key to the Bitcoin Safe_ is about Bitkey, a Linux distribution with an 
interesting set of tools for working with Bitcoin in high-security 
environments. This article contains detailed instructions for using 
these tools, and also covers multiple advanced topics, such as the use 
of _brainwallets_, _paperwallets_ and the dangers of Bitcoin _address 
reuse_.

This issue includes a DVD with my favorite Live distribution, 
_Knoppix_, which has made it up to version 8.1, so you don't have any 
excuse not to grab a copy.
