no there is no risk , than if you have a private key you must store it at a save place .

First of all, yes it's safe to post your public BTC address anywhere you want, nobody will "ever" know who you are or won't have access to your coins.
But i just wanted to say that what i have heard usually called a Wallet is a software containing your private keys, not every single address.

How it can be possible? You are saying that you are a Newbie, but in fact you are a Full member on this forum and you created your account during the last year.
 


Uhmm this is very suspicious, if you were a full member you should know that, because everybody knows that if you click on your wallet you are going to be able to see your balance.

But there is nothing wrong about seeing the balance, because you can not do anything about it, it is just like a "public record" If you want to have more privacy, then start using multi-signature wallets.


Maybe this member has been taking part in discussions for 1 year, but have never got business with wallet? It can be possible, really. Or this user bought profile to take part in ICO bounty)

Everyone can see your balance and transactions https://blockchain.info/address/172jHZ1o61FUKb2uo1xs231HdV43qBWaKf but no one can manage a wallet without your private key.
The private key can be break open but it takes so much energy that hacker have to burn several solar systems

^^^^^^  This.  It would take an insane number of years in order to brute force the private key.  It's like generating a custom wallet address, getting the first 4-5 characters can take just a few hours, getting a full wallet address is like hundreds, thousands, or millions of years hashing at current hardware limits.  I don't think people are going to wait around that long Wink

You have to know the differents between public adress and private key, this second one is PRIVATE which means that if someone has it they could open your wallet, first one is PUBLIC so it is for everyone.

If it's your public address, then no - someone can't open a wallet. They would need the private keys which hold your bitcoins.  Never give out your private keys are any seeds.
