1. Online vs Offline Bitcoin wallet.
2. Bitcoin wallets besides from the option you mentioned.
3. Alt-coins.
4. Exchange and etc.

Thank you for your su ggestions and I will definitely consider adding them aswell , however I'am not sure for what comes to the Altcoins , and for what comes to the other wallets that I didn't mention , I tried to speak about the best in my opinion so I'am not sure why would I speak about others and what informations you need from them .

Keyscramblers does not protect against keylogging hardware so its not an option if people have access to your computer. Majority of the virus does not get detected and most antivirus would be useless here. The best way is to not download any suspicious files or go to any suspicious website. A RAT can easily automatically send your money when you unlock your wallet. As most unconfirmed transactions are irreversible, it would be quite dangerous.

What do you mean with "Keyscramblers does not protect against keylogging hardware"? You mean keyscrambler is useless or that it can't help when someone is using a hardware keylogger?

Would keyscrambler at least be secure against software attacks?

By the way... entering passwords with something like that is one thing. But using keepass? I mean you oft enough would have to copy the password in your clipboard. Or when you want to type you would need to type the pass for keepass anyway, then show the pass.

I wonder if there can be done much anyway.

Yes. Keylogging hardware intercept the text before it goes into the system. Keyscramblers would not help at all.

Depending on the keyscrambler's features, it might not offer protection against clipboard logging. If you were to copy it to clipboard, the malware would be able to intercept it.

Thats why you need a firewall too that filters out the data that is sent out of the PC.

Peferably never hold a fortune on an online PC. Never ever!

Which software are you referring to? some of them will only work in Windows.

IS there a guide for reaching legendary status?

It will take you at least 1.5 years to reach it. Please check the sticky thread on the Meta section.
