description: Bitcoin-Qt is the frontend for the original code written by Satoshi. It replaced the aging wxWidgets version with a newer architecture that allows changes to be made easier and making the software more portable to different platforms. Bitcoin-Qt is well tested, and is a good starting point for any Bitcoin user looking for stability. description: The original software written by Satoshi Nakamoto, the project's founder. If you aren't sure which program to pick, this is a good bet. This application is a peer-to-peer client that builds the backbone of the Bitcoin network. It is suited for enthusiasts, merchants, miners, developers and people who want to help support the project. People who run Bitcoin-Qt are first class network citizens and have the highest levels of security, privacy and stability. However, it can be very resource intensive and you should be willing to leave it running in the background so other computers can connect to yours. If your computer is low powered or you aren't willing to tolerate a 8-hour+ initial start time, you should consider other clients. Cutting edge features tend to be implemented in other clients first.

description: Electrum is a client that was designed to simplify the use of Bitcoin. Electrum does not download the blockchain and startup times are instant which it does by pooling remote blockchain servers. You do not need to perform regular backups of your wallet as your wallet can be recovered from a secret passphrase which you can memorize or write on a piece of paper. description: Electrum's focus is speed, with low resource usage and simplifying Bitcoin. You do not need to perform regular backups, because your wallet can be recovered from a secret phrase that you can memorize or write on paper. Startup times are instant because it operates in conjuction with high-performance servers that handle the most complicated parts of the Bitcoin system. Easy to install to packages are not available at this point.

<p>Bitcoin clients are the base level of technology for conducting Bitcoin transactions. Clients usually store a collection of keys on that computer (often termed a wallet). These keys allow you to send and receive payments through the Bitcoin network. Nobody has access to these keys except yourself, and they must be kept secure. This is where clients differ, with ingenious strategies and ongoing research into making a user-friendly and secure client - not an easy task when both goals often conflict!</p>
