Hi, I'm a beginner in cryptocurrency so be indulgent

I think that the best way to promote CLAM (and the digging for CLAMs

) is to create a wallet that isn't a full node (simplified validation), like Multibit for Bitcoin, as waiting for the download of the blockchain may be unpleasing/annoying.
What do you think?
It's a good idea. Are there any SPV clients that support any altcoins at all?
I've no idea how much work would be involved - I don't have the first idea about how SPV works.
