Quote from: eJ3k1 on July 16, 2012, 10:02 pmThank you :-)Personally I use the Electrum Bitcoin wallet : http://ecdsa.org/electrum/ - the advantage being it doesn't have to download the block chain but you can still have your own private key. You can write this down in case anything happens to the wallet software itself so you can retrieve your Bitcoins at any time.I'm not sure about the security concerns about connecting to a server which is connected to the Block Chain in turn. If one of our security gurus could comment that would be much appreciated. (I should add this doesn't concern me much as I hold less than USD 500 in this wallet so it wouldn't be the end of the world if someone ran off with it...)V.
