Run bitcoin-qt fulltime and help support the network

I use btc-qt and it seems solid. Been using it since 1 year ago.

Thanks for your input, ThomasCrowne and deebob, but you guys must have missed that I already do run Qt, but I'm instead looking for a different wallet that delivers all change (after spending) back to my MAIN address, so that I can keep all of my Bitcoin at just one address; Qt does not do this.

Electrum does not download the blockchain to your pc. It downloads it to a central server. It does however send change to your main address. For example you receive .1 bitcoin delivered to a receiving address. On your next send of say .05 it will take that .1 from that address and you will find the change under Main account. Electrum meets only one of your criteria. For me I chose electrum because i am running only 120g ssd. If i was to upgrade I may consider running qt but for now electrum is doing what i need it to.

Thanks so much, joshraban76! It looks like this is the precise information I needed. I guess there are no wallets, currently, that do both - just one or the other. Thanks again!
