Topic: New to BitCoins & looking for a client (Read 1520 times)
Thank you for the response. I'll try both options see which one fits me best
Hello, I'm pretty new to this whole BitCoin concept and it seems pretty sweet 
I'm looking for a portable version of the Bitcoin-Qt client that I could store on my USB drive and be able to run on all platforms (win, linux, mac).
Any suggestions?

For an everyday wallet, consider the hybrid EWallet - BlockChain.info/wallet, accessible from your browser (yet their server only has an encrypted copy of the private keys)
- http://Blockchain.info/wallet
Use brainwallet.org to generate public/private key. Monitor balance via blockchain.info. Send transactions using the brainwallet.org transaction generator (only use if sending full amount - not 100% setup for change). Now you don't even need a USB, just the internet & a good memory.
Try VanillaWallet (I'm the developer). It's a simple Bitcoin wallet that's easy to use. It stores its files in the same directory as the program, which makes it good for portability on USB drives. It's a light-weight client, which only has to store the block-chain headers -- that means that the block store file is only about 20MB.
I currently call it Alpha, but it's fully-functional and has been entirely stable for me (read the caveats). I'd love to get more feedback on it, so please let me know how I can make it suit your needs!
You're situation is exactly what VanillaWallet is all about!

How big is the USB drive?
8GB, I think it could hold the block-chain for a year or two.
