So I know that there might not be a straight forward answer besides having a cold and hot wallet available that you can access with your own daemon and simplewallet. But I feel like there might be more ways/techniques that some of you might do to better secure your funds.

So how many cold and hot wallets do you have and how should you distribute your funds amongst them, or do you? Do you give the wallets really obscure names on simple wallet? Super long and random passwords? Or is none of these super paranoid tactics really worth it for monero?

The first line of defense: use a secure operating system. This means no Windows, no running random binaries (except below), and keeping patches up to date. If you know how to use them, use VMs, and do all risky stuff on VMs, not the host.

When you've done that, backup your wallet/seed, use a complex password for your keys file.
