I run a small ebay business and I have listed a few items on Bitmit as a trial.
I was wondering if someone could recommend a light weight wallet that I could use store any bitcoins that I get? Ideally it would only be a few megabytes in size and not require heavy downloads to keep it in sync.
I sure most people are aware of this but the general public do not have technical skills or ISP contracts that allow heavy bandwidth usage.
In my opinion the fact that user friendly client software is not easily locatable is a major stumbling block for wider acceptence of bitcoin. A lightweight client should be one of the first things that you stumble across when looking into Bitcoin.
Most people are not going to be willing to download a 6gb+ wallet in order to be able to use bitcoins, it's just not going to happen!
I really like the idea behind bitcoin and I am hoping that it takes off and becomes widely used.
You technical people really need to get to work immediately and make it more user friendly whilst you have bit of momentum and press coverage!
If Bitcoin is going to have a future it needs to be at least as easy to use as Napster was.
