I had been looking for a light wallet (even though I didn't know the term or that they existed back then) since before the bankruptcy. If they'd been more widespread, we'd have lost a lot fewer coins! I guess that, like me, a lot of us didn't want to store their BTC with MtGOX, it was just that back then the alternative was to use a significant portion of your hard disk to store the blockchain if you wanted to use your BTC.

>I guess that, like me, a lot of us didn't want to store their BTC with MtGOX Who in their right mind would store Bitcoin anywhere else than a well backed up hard drive? I was trading the ups and downs, they didn't have any fees for a long time, so you could buy low, sell high, and repeat. Today a limit order could have bought at 31,000 and then turned around and sold at 36,000 or more. But... never try to catch a falling knife. ;-)

Sad thing is that I got my BTC to test my tiny wallet implementation I did for my final thesis back then :-)
