Curious to see what people say.

(I'm a truecrypt user as well)

Veracrypt replaced TrueCrypt. I have used Diskcryptor as well. I believe with windows 10 one of them (can't remember which will pose a problem for drives over 2 TB.

+1 to LUKS. It supports AES-256 right out of the box, as well as several other algorithms (e. g. TwoFish). Comes as part of the kernel, meaning all GNU/Linux distros will have it.

OP, have you considered the option of going with a GNU/Linux distro (e. g. Kubuntu, Mint, etc.)?

I'm liking Fedora Linux right now. It's hard to tell if the Debian based distributions are fully patched through back ports.

For now I need Windows 10 for reasons outside my control.

Bitlocker then?

[Brutmor]

VeraCrypt (1.16 as of 10/07/15) is a fork based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. Are there disadvantages to VeraCrypt 1.16 over TrueCrypt 7.1a?

Bitlocker is not available on the Windows 10 Home versions installed on the computers I access.

Make you have one unencrypted partition with the installer on your drive. It sounds like you already have your pick otherwise. I've heard truecrypt is fine.

I want to encrypt my daily use flash drives...

Check out Rohos for flash drives. Specifically Roho's Mini Drive. (it's free)
I haven't waded into Win 10 yet so don't know what works there. Rohos also has other products which might work for you.

OP: If you do use Roho's on a flash drive. Here's a tip and/or warning:

Plugging the flash drive into your PC to read the contents requires that you open a virtual drive. That's in the instructions clearly.

But simply removing your flash drive when completed DOES NOT close the virtual drive. It's still accessible to someone on that PC. You need to click on the task bar icons, or hidden icons in my case, and "ensure you exit the virtual drive" in addition to removing your USB drive. Then you're clear to walk away.

I still use TrueCrypt. I find it sort of mysterious that they all the sudden stopped what they were doing, with what appeared to be absolutely fake messages about what made them quit. I think black suits must have been threatening them, or they just got paid off.

"I find it sort of mysterious that they all the sudden stopped what they were doing, with what appeared to be absolutely fake messages about what made them quit. I think black suits must have been threatening them, or they just got paid off."

Wasn't the most recent explanation that they just had an internal "**** it all" moment? It sounded the amount of time required to maintain the project combined with keeping their work a secret just got too much.

Understandable since they weren't really benefiting from it monetarily.
