What is MultiBit HD?

A desktop Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet (HDW) for Bitcoin using the Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) mode to provide very fast block chain synchronization.

The target audience is "international mainstream" which compels the user interface to remain as simple as possible while still retaining advanced capabilities under the covers.

Support for external hardware wallets (such as the Trezor) is available through the MultiBit Hardware project.

Why should I use it?

It will allow you to send and request Bitcoin payments quickly and easily. A short feature list is given below:

  • very fast synchronization without the need for external servers (MultiBit HD is standalone)
  • easy to use (it is designed for anyone with basic computer skills)
  • a simple 12-word passphrase written down protects all your bitcoins forever (see BIPs 32/39/44 )
  • automatic strongly encrypted backups to the cloud (e.g. SpiderOak or Dropbox)
  • multiple languages (40+)
  • customisable themes to ensure it fits perfectly with the rest of your system
  • manage payments split over several transactions
  • intuitive display of activity so you can track what's happening at a glance
