You should also encrypt your private key with a passphrase, using

If you think anyone motivated might ever get a hold of your encrypted
file, use a *really* good passphrase. Something in excess of 100-bits
of entropy in it.
Out of curiosity, please tell me how entropy is measured, and how many
bits of entropy are in the string "ysywlmtihtg". TIA.
