Topic: Best "how-to" to create a Paper Wallet or Cold Storage? (Read 468 times)
share means that it is the public key. (for receiving money)
secret means that it is the private key. (for you)
private key: allows you to spend the money on the wallet. You keep it for yourself.
public key: you give it to other people. They send btc to that address. You can check the balance on https://blockchain.info/ if you know an address for instance.

Just so I understand, this address that was created at bitaddress.org:
-What is the difference between share and secret?
-What is a private key, how does it relate to my secret code?
-Which address do I send the bitcoins to, share or secret?
-To print, do I just go to the paper wallet tab? Why are there 3 addresses?
-What is the difference between a Paper Wallet, Bulk Wallet, Brain Wallet, and Vanity Wallet?
This is a lot of questions, I feel retarded, is there a dummies guide to all this?
