Topic: Bit coin Address (Read 2231 times)

For me blockchain.info is the most easiest and user friendly bitcoin wallet of all. I don't know, I'm just comfortable in using it and it is very easy to use.
But of course, there are also other bitcoin wallets that has different qualities.

Yes. and there are many types of wallets available. online wallets, desktop wallets, hardware wallets, and mobile wallets, you can use any wallets you feel good for you. I am more comparable with online wallet. and desktop wallets.

Choose your wallet from there: http://bitcoin.org

The easiest way to get a wallet is by going to  Blockchain and creating an account there. To actually get some BTC in your wallet is by buying it on external websites or by going to faucets.

For creating a bitcoin address you need a bitcoin wallet

Bitcoin address is absolutely.What free? So how they could finance the operation of the company? they treat fee for every transaction that we make (send bitcoin).
So Many places that you can use to create address bitcoin (bitcoin wallet), For online wallet I recommend blockchain, because most people use the wallet services there https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/. For others wallet you can find at https://www.bitcoin.com/choose-your-wallet i cant give you review about it because I have never tried.
thank you, i hope this helps you.

Blockchain is centralized, true.
Bitcoin isn't centralized, true.
But, you aren't actually sending funds to their wallet, it's yours, it's done using JS (look at their github, not sure if someone has audited it)..
But they can leave you open to false-spend attacks, because you aren't actually verifying the blockchain, You are requesting the status from them. and many different attacks that may occur if you don't use blockchain verification...

google is your friend
you look stupidly, better to ask google before you ask useless Question.

Finally, someone else that can think things through logically! It's centralized. Bitcoin is not. Why the hell would you add funds to their wallets?!

@Alaki and @odolvlobo thank you for explanation.

For mobile use i prefer Mycellium https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet&hl=en
the best wallet, i think

OMG, Don't please suggest centralized web wallets, he's far better to use standalone clients.

Read above.

My recommendations are to use Electrum or Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind.

You can create a bitcoin wallet on the blockchain.info don't need much time to create it. I think It is so easy to do. Just follow step by step and do verification with your email.

You lost some bitcoins and you don't know how, so therefore it must be blockchain.info's fault. I would like to suggest the possibility of aliens from another galaxy as an equally plausible explanation.

The new wallet is an HD wallet, which is better in general than a non-HD wallet for various reasons. But, if the new wallet lacks useful features found in the old wallet, then it might be too soon to switch over.

'coz the beta lacks many important features as compared to the old wallet. Basically, the most important feature or you may call it a bug is that if you do migrate from the old wallet to the new beta one, you'll loose your old address.
P.S.-> other bugs-> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13817882

Why old blockchain wallet is more better then new one?
Thanks.

I'm calling bullshit on that. When I started w/ Bitcoins and some tool suggested I use that crappy wallet I lost 0.05BTC. I had every safety precaution and didn't/don't have a virus/malware. How do I know? 100s of scans later and 3 other wallets (never online of course. I'm not that stupid) and i've never had a loss again. So I had 2FA, no one had access to my computer, I didn't have malware. No one 'phished' the information out of me and that leaves blockchain.info to blame. Of course their stupid generic email was sent out and once this was all explained I was ignored. Crappy app, crappy customer service and crappy security = crappy wallet. Don't use it. Why bother? There are literally 100s of better options. 

First, you are misinformed. Blockchain.info does not have access to your wallet and you do have control of your private keys.

Second, most of the links you provided all relate to a bug in the blockchain.info wallet that caused the R value to be reused. That bug is a legitimate reason to criticize blockchain.info, but keep in mind that the bug was fixed and no wallet is immune to bugs.

Finally, the losses in all of the other links were the result of visiting a phishing site or downloading a virus. Something that blockchain.info cannot be criticized for.

Creating a bitcoin address is for free. You need a bitcoin wallet, choose one here https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet you and after downloading the wallet software you can install the wallet. Connected to the wallet is a bitcoin address you can use it for free.

There are no cost associated with creating bitcoin address, you can even make custom BTC address starting with unique characters/words for free.

My here you go:

How about just the results from Bitcointalk.org. Oh 5 pages from Bitcointalk.org. Nice. I see why you'd want to use the worst wallet in the history of Bitcoin.

https://www.google.ca/search?q=blockchain.info+funds+stolen+site:bitcointalk.org&hl=en&prmd=ivns&ei=XlgmV7qnJ4b4jgSnrL3QDQ&start=10&sa=N

Come on man. Get your head out of your ass. There's FUD and then there's common sense. Are you one of their paid shills?

*Everything is fine fellers, just keep putting your money in Blockchain.info... What's the worse that could happen*

Aaaand it's gone.


Rebuttal?

don't spread FUD about something you don't understand. do some research about blockchain.info and how they are handling things and how they are storing the wallet file on their servers, then also go on github and check out their source code to double check things and then say they have you private keys (they don't)

i am not saying using blockhain.info wallet is safe or wise for a lot of other reasons but what you are saying (bold part) is just FUD spam.

Lol. Maybe they only steal coins from people that can speak English I guess. Do you give your cash to the guy on the corner and ask him to hold it or would you put it in a bank? One you have control of and the other you don't.

Terrible logic btw.

Omg guys! I didn't just die when I got electrocuted, so according to that logic I must be invincible!

If then, why I never lose my coins? I have use blockchain.info wallet for a year and it is not "crappy" as I can use it my Bitcoin wallet.

It we Switch to new blockchain wallet, the old money in wallet will be lost ?

If you use blockchain.info please use 2FA and the second password option, it will be asked when you send payments.

The same as usual registration like how you did to bitcointalk.org

Just go to blockchain.info > wallet > create my free wallet

Its easy and completely free.
You need to download Bitcoin wallet of your choice
and you already have address. You can create a new address
with one click

The question OP asked is practically answered. This thread should be locked now because it doesn't need any further interaction unless OP has more questions to be asked, but I think it would be a more helpful to new-comers as it is in the Beginners & Help section.

As the other say, You can create bitcoin address without any cost (Absolute Free)
I prefer if you choose right Web BTC Wallet, Kindly check here if you're interested

Coinbase.Com
BlockChain.Info
Xapo.Com
Or if you're from PH you can try this Coins.PH

I hope you will find Good BitCoin Service

creating bitcoin address is absolutely free , you can try different sites that offers you free bitcoin address,
you can choose below
blockchain.info
coinbase.com
xapo.com
choose 1 of them that suits you.

Step 6. Cry when you lose all your coins from this crappy online wallet. Don't use blockchain.info. When you set up an email address do you have access to the password? Pretty obvious answer is yes. Well with blockchain.info, THEY have access to your private key (aka: your 'password' for lack of a better term). But they use a simple algorithm that's (apparently) easy to crack and you lose everything. Just Google it. Don't take my word for it.

If you are creating a bitcoin wallet its free bro, Ask in helping section or read in newbie threads

if you want to buy and have the wallet at the same time i think the best option for a newbie is a web wallet like coinbase, although you should check out their terms of services first then do it because you might find some of their rules not so compatible with your uses.

then after that move to another wallet with better option.

i think the best option for you to go is reading here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0 ,asking is allowed but with reading you'll get your answer without asking

No. Creating a Bitcoin address is free and, AFAIK, there is no cost for having one.
You can take a look at this page on how to create Bitcoin address.

A lot of people seem to be suggesting online wallets (blockchain.info, coinbase).
Granted, these wallets are very appealing for a new user because the learning curve is small, they're accessible on every place where you can have access to the internet and they might have neat features like paying your fee...

However, OP, be carefull: if you read this forum, you'll see a lot of horror stories with these online wallets... They go bankrupt, your funds gets stolen, they lock your account,... This is the price for a smaller learning curve, easy access and reduced fees. Don't be alarmed tough: most users are satisfied with these online wallets, most people don't have any issues with them... But the ones that have issues with online wallets are often left hanging (you need thirth party support to solve your problems for you)

If you want to learn how to use bitcoin in a proper way, i'd suggest starting with a desktop wallet. Bitcoin core is the standard one, but it might take a really long time to sync (it basically needs to download and verify all the blocks which contain every transaction ever made with bitcoin). A good newbie alternative are SPV clients like electrum or multibit HD. I'm a big fan of electrum, it's pretty newbie friendly, but still has a lot of coin controll features once you learn a thing or two about bitcoin...

Just my 2 satoshi's on the subject  

As a beginner I would suggest an online web wallet like coinbase, they also have the app for mobile phones so you can transfer any bitcoin on the go, the bad thing about coinbase is that if their servers are down you can't use your funds, also they do not provide private key but as a beginner if i were you I would go there, and also they pay the transaction fees for you.

You can get the address directly from your smartphone and blockchain wallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android
Do not forget to save or write ID and passwords. Set pair.

If you want to create wallet come here in Blockchain.info this is the free and the safest i know.
Just click the "wallet" and "create a new wallet" you just need a valid email and Long password. And if you are done you have your bitcoin address .

use xapo or blockchain to create a free bitcoin wallet.

1: Go to Blockchain.info
2: Go to "Wallet" in Upper Manue
3: Click "Start a New wallet" Blue Button Or "Create My Free Wallet" Green Button,
4: Enter your email address and password and Your wallet is Ready.  
5: You can See your Ready Bitcoin Address in down side of page. with this note: "Share This with anyone and they can send your payments"
You are done..

One Suggestion. Don't Switch to new blockchain wallet. Old blockchain wallet is more better then new one.
