Title: Portable bitcoin client Post by: RippleAway on March 20, 2013, 11:38:27 AM Hi all,
I'm looking for a portable (as in portable apps portable) bitcoin client. I'm running the default one and would like to export my wallet into a portable client. Much easier to back up. Any suggestions?

It will be portable with the whole blockchain (about 8GB I think now), though.
