Client to sign transaction and deploy contracts with no chain downloaded

Question

I'd like to deploy contracts from truffle using a localhost wallet but without syncing all the chain. I think this should be possible: a lightweight client able to connect to the network and to sign transactions, like Jaxx does, but also able to listen to some localhost port and interact with truffle.

Answer 1

you can use myetherwallet they provide you the ability to deploy the contract's bytecode directly into the blockchain without syncing. you need only to provide a valid private key.

for the second part you can use an infura node to drive the truffle transactions, read more on the official doc http://truffleframework.com/tutorials/using-infura-custom-provider
