Electrum Wallet 2.7.14 Released

[CryptoASK]

* Merge exchange_rate plugin with main code
* Faster synchronization and transaction creation
* Fix bugs #2096, #2016

Electrum is a solid lightweight desktop client, meaning that it does not download the full blockchain. Instead, it relies on servers to do much of the work. It performs well in the bitcoin wallet review because it empowers you to send and receive transactions, but also has some advanced features: it can generate wallets deterministically from a seed, create and sign transactions offline, sign and verify messages (compatibly with the Satoshi client’s implementation), export a “root public key” that allows applications like AcceptBit to monitor, but not spend from, the wallet, and it can import and export private keys.

Unfortunately, these advanced features are only accessible through the command line. Those who only wish to send and receive bitcoins, however, need not worry about the advanced features. If one wishes just to send and receive bitcoins, Electrum offers the most simple, easy-to-use and minimalistic interface of all the online and desktop wallets.
