This is MultiBit a #Bitcoin wallet launched on 12 September 2011.
The tagline was:
- Run it from your USB drive/ home computer.
- Nice and secure.
- Send and receive bitcoin easily
One selling points was that you can open multiple wallets at the same time.
This should really put into perspective how primitive things were back then.
Btw you could not even import/export the private keys in early versions, no interoperability between wallets.
Even though the total size of the blockchain was 600M, the main selling point of the wallet was that it was a light wallet.
The whole directory was only 16M
The wallet would only keep parts of the blockchain that had its own transactions.
TXs it does not use were erased.
So what?
Well, this shows how in the early days the main focus was to make #BitCoin as easy to use as possible!
(yes they wrote it like that)
Also, think about this.
Everything you get by default and do with 1 click, was not even an option back then!
Thanks for reading and like & retweet(nostr equivalents), if you liked it. :D
