Here's a question:

when using Bitcoin-Qt; are there still transaction fees involved when sending BTC?

As I understand it, you can avoid transaction fees with every bitcoin client or online wallet. They just might take a lot longer to confirm and 0.0005 BTC is really only about 0.05-0.07 $

I'm using blockchain.info too. Does anyone know how to change the address that is shown in "wallet home"? I'd like to use a new address for every tx.

I personally use MultiBit as it's fast and small for my needs. But i'm in the process of still downloading the full blockchain with QT.

I use blockchain.  When logged in, you can access graphs of your account history, such as final balance or the number of transactions per day.

I wouldnt make a digital wallet, you can be never sure that your computer is clean. I made a PaperWallet at www.bitcoin-address.org and printed the paper wallet. This is the best method to secure bitcoins.

DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE

If you have sent funds to an address provided by this service, transfer your BTC out before he does.

If you want something basic just go with the simplest one (in my mind) Bitcoin-Qt

I prefer Electrum on Linux, but I've encountered bugs. Nothing that stops me from using it. Whatever you choose, remember to Back Up!

I really like MultiBit,

It's only ~40mb with the blockchain downloaded. (It downloads a heavily stripped down version of the entire chain, and goes back for information on addresses it actually manages)
It doesn't rely on an external server to host the blockchain (like Electrum)

And it allows you to manage multiple wallet files so you can export only certain keys and use them on multiple devices (for petty cash on a phone, as an example. If you lose the phone, you already have the wallet open so you can move the coins out of it.)

Definitely check out Electrum if the thought of syncing gigabytes of transactions doesnt appeal to you.

I would use QT for my first wallet, just know you have to be very patient while it syncs to the network for the first time Smiley
