Features: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Encrypted wallet: the file that contains your bitcoins is protected with a password. You are protected from thieves. |
|
|
|
* Deterministic key generation: If you lose your wallet, you can recover it from its seed. You are protected from your own mistakes. |
|
|
|
* No blockchain download: the client requests blockchain information from a server. No delays, always up-to-date. |
|
|
|
* Transactions are signed locally: Your private keys are not shared with the server. You do not have to trust the server with your money. |
|
|
|
* Privacy: The server does not know you, it does not store user accounts. You are not tied to a particular server. |
|
|
|
* No single point of failure: The server code is open source, anyone can run a server. |
|
|
|
* Firewall friendly: The client does not need to open a port, it simply polls the server for updates. |
|
|
|
* Open Source: Anyone can audit the code. |
|
|
|
* Python. Very compact code, easy to contribute. |
