SYNOPSIS
electrum [options] command [options]
DESCRIPTION
Electrum is a lightweight bitcoin client.
Electrum protects from losing bitcoins in a backup mistake or computer
failure. It allows recovery of wallet from a passphrase which you can
learn by heart or write it down on a paper.
Since electrum does not download the entire bitcoin block chain there is
no waiting time when the client is started.
