Poor man's hardware wallet
For those who cannot afford a hardware wallet, the next best thing is to use Electrum
to create a 2-of-2 multisig wallet with one key on your phone and one on your desktop.
To use, create the transaction on your desktop client, and then display the QR code
for the partially signed transaction. Scan the QR code in your phone's Electrum,
sign it, and broadcast with a few taps.
Given the added difficulty of a hacker accessing both your desktop and your phone,
you get significantly better security and the process of using the wallet remains
relatively straightforward.
