Title: Experiences with Electrum? Post by: bitbook.biz on March 18, 2013, 08:57:57 PM Has anyone here used Electrum? Thoughts?
Title: Re: Experiences with Electrum? Post by: Mike Christ on March 18, 2013, 09:03:12 PM I use it, and haven't had any issues with it. It doesn't download the blockchain all the time, which is nice ;D Especially if you have a data transfer limit.

Post by: mitchfultz on March 18, 2013, 09:07:11 PM I started out with the original client and wasn't too crazy about it downloading the entire blockchain so I gave Electrum a shot and love it. I am using version 1.6.2 on Windows and not the latest 1.7 version until a few of the bugs are worked out.
But overall I recommend it. Title: Re: Experiences with Electrum? Post by: Garr255 on March 18, 2013, 09:07:56 PM Electrum is awesome. It's a perfect "light" version of Bitcoin, ideal for mobile devices. I use electrum on my laptop because I'm typically tethered to my phone which is a metered connection.

Do you guys know if it's as secure as the alternatives? Title: Re: Experiences with Electrum? Post by: Mike Christ on March 18, 2013, 09:20:54 PM Electrum is a must for me.

Do you guys know if it's as secure as the alternatives? AFAIK it is, as long as you're taking proper precautions described in the stickied threads here. Armory is a good choice if you want absolute control, but, Electrum is safe enough as well. If you're really crazy about security, Electrum should be able to help you out with a paper wallet... |
