DESCRIPTION

       Electrum is a lightweight bitcoin client.
       Electrum  protects from losing bitcoins in a backup mistake or computer failure. It allows
       recovery of wallet from a passphrase which you can learn by heart or write it  down  on  a
       paper.
       Since  electrum  does not download the entire bitcoin block chain there is no waiting time
       when the client is started.
