use a 2of2 or 2of3 wallet with multisig and two factor.

Even better with an anti tampering hardware wallet talking to a service provider for 2FA for most security

I'm sorry but .. where are the keys ?

Do I have to trust you are not going to get hacked ? Because that's just not going to work and we both know it.

That would be fine if there was no copyright.

GPL use is only useful as long as copyright exist: should it not exist then GPL is not just not useful anymore but not needed at all!

I'd just disassemble what you did and release it as open source again :D

Isn't 80% of world wide used currency all speculation and only 20% used in services and products ?

I'm talking about the trillions of derivatives market ..

I guess scrypt makes it much harder in memory requirements to bruteforce dictionaries and famose phrases/documents although still risky with keyloggers.

The most promising web wallet i've seen so far is https://greenaddress.it which seems pretty much like "Electrum" online but with two factor which in theory means a local keylogger can't steal your bitcoin.

Brain wallets should never be used. Even experts fail at picking phrases with enough entropy.

Full stop.

You should be very carefull with your Bitcoin.

I would go with one of the zero trust multisignature wallets because I like 2factor and I don't like the idea of some malware taking the funds away at will when it finds a key in memory.
