yes it is...why would you recommend Electrum?

It's a lightweight client, which means that you don't need to sync and download all the blocks from the blockchain. It is very easy and simple to use, newbie-friendly. You can also choose to use change addresses or not easily and select the fee easily too.

there is a fee to using Electrum?

If you are talking about a fee to use the wallet client, then no.

byt411 was talking about the bitcoin tx fee.

And also, multibit is planning to force higher tx fees, and the developers take a cut from that ^^.

Hello everyone,
I cant seem to find the answer to my new question about bitcoin wallet.

Im using Armory as my main wallet... I have saved my private key in many places but what happens if i uninstall the program from my computer and armory would not offer downloads off the program anymore...how could i recover my wallet?

thanks

Is Armory your first wallet? I would recommend you use Electrum instead. Armory is more suited for experienced users.
