The regular wallet (mist/geth) took up 20gb the last time i tried it and either has to be running all the time or takes hours to update to use (from what i remember)
This is the very reason i no longer use desktop wallets they are inconveniencing when you need them the most
Any alternatives, especially liteweight, out there besides just storing them on exchanges?
By far the best wallet is
myetherwallet because not only can use the wallet to store your ethereum
but other tokens like the new ERC20 tokens...which i use for my creditbit
