<h3>Step by step tutorials</h3>
<h4>Why Electrum?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Instant on: Your client does not download the blockchain, it uses a remote server.</li>
<li>Forgiving: Your wallet can be recovered from a secret <a href="seed.html">seed</a>.</li>
<li>Safe: Private keys are never sent to the server. Information sent by the server is verified using <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Thin_Client_Security#Header-Only_Clients">SPV</a> </li>
<li>No downtimes: Several public servers are available, you can switch instantly.</li>
<li>Ubiquitous: You can use the same wallet on different computers, it will auto-synchronize.</li>
<li>Open: You can export your private keys into other Bitcoin clients.</li>
<li>Tested and audited: Electrum is open source and was first released in November 2011.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Starting up</h4>
<ul>
<li>Once you've downloaded and started Electrum for the first time you'll be asked to create a wallet.</li>
<li>Select any server from the list and click ok.</li>
<li>A seed will be generated for you. You must keep this seed in a safe place, it will let you restore your wallet in the future.</li>
<li>It is recommended to set a strong password to encrypt your wallet.</li>
<li>Now you can start using Electrum to send and receive Bitcoins.</li>
<li>New addresses are generated automatically when your receiving addrreses are used.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Restoring wallet from your seed. Creating a seedless wallet.</h4>
<ul>
<li>If you've lost your Electrum wallet you can restore it from your seed.</li>
<li>Start Electrum and select the restore option, insert your seed and leave the gap limit as default if you did not change it in the former Electrum.</li>
<li>Follow the steps as if you were creating your wallet for the first time.</li>
<li>Watch the other tutorial "Creating backups" to see how not to lose the labels you've set for your addresses if you ever need to restore your wallet again.</li>
<br />
<li>Seedless wallets can generate addresses to receive Bitcoins, but cannot send them.</li>
<li>To create a seedless wallet start Electrum, select the restore option and enter your Master Public Key instead of your seed.</li>
<li>You can use seedless wallets in Point Of Sale systems.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What to do with my old addresses and wallet when switching to Electrum?</h4>
