I recommend Electrum: http://electrum.org/

  • No need to download the block chain. Just launch it when you want to make a transfer and it's instantly on. Even better if you enable Bitcoin URI's.
  • Deterministic wallet, so just secure the seed in a safe place and you will always be able to recover the wallet even if you lose all backups.
  • There are many Electrum servers to connect to, and you can switch between servers instantly. No down time.
  • Even when you are offline, you will have access to your addresses.
  • Portable.
  • Many different GUI options. Even has a text GUI.
  • Has many command-line features. Also, supports plug-ins, for instance, to help with storing labels in the cloud.

ETA: Ah, and I almost forgot... You can use the same Electrum wallet from multiple different locations simultaneously.


Second this. I love Electrum now. Used Armory/qt but it throttled my bandwidth because of its uploading. (ASDL)

That and they have an android client that syncs with the same wallet on my pc. Cheesy
