What is the difference between an Electrum Wallet and the old desktop wallet? - Electrum Wallet doesn't require you to download the entire blockchain of TOA so no need to wait for your wallet to catch up with the latest blocks which is a problem for new installs. - You can also back up your wallet using a seed file which you can use for restoring or loading your wallet on another computer.
Take note though that since it doesn't download the entire blockchain, it DOES NOT STAKE.
Might want to put the "DOES NOT STAKE" disclaimer right beside the download button as im sure, there will be a lot people asking this soon hehe
