Topic: Greetings and Hello (Read 940 times)

You can choose here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet but don't store your btc on exchanger or online wallet, especially with big amount.
My advice is use this: Bitcoin Core(you need download the data for sync, aver 20GB) or Electrum, you don't need to download the data, but for now as you can see a news about blockchain split, is better to use Bitcoin Core wallet for transaaction(if you need btc immediately and spend them immediately).

hello and welcome. there is plenty to learn about btc, but you are in the right place!

there are many, many helpful and kind users here, but please be aware of security though... it only takes one bad actor to spoil it all for you, and there are a few lurking here, waiting to prey on earnest but niave users such as yourself. It is safe to live by the motto "trust no one" however, by vetting any user here that offers anything you need to think twice about you can mostly rest assured you are safe. check the past postings of anyone offering anything you might think could lead to losses for you, not just their trust rating (these can be fudged)

also learn about safety regarding storing of your coins. one hack and all your hard earned btc can disappear and the thieves are almost never caught. taking safe measures can protect your assets, but please be safe instead of sorry. I am always afraid new users will have one (preventable) bad experience and then give up on btc altogether, which is always a shame because the more minds and creatives the btc economy embraces and supports, the better it is for all. one tip... be very careful when clicking links. this is a common way to put malware on your machine which will steal your coins. One can protect himself by using a very good malware protection software (I use malwarebytes pro) checking links at the website virustotal.com, using a hardware wallet to store coins and being generally cautious and extremely skeptical before clicking links. never click any link in emails from people you dont know, double check ones from people you do know (in case of phishing scams)

I dont want to scare you, but I cant emphasize security enough. if you have doubts or questions, do ask them here, there are many here willing to offer advice.

Since you are a musician, obviously seeking to market your art over the internet, I urge you to look at this BTC backed service here https://www.ascribe.io/ it is a method for transferring ownership of digital content over the blockchain, and i really believe it could be huge for the future of marketing digital content that needs to be sold and copy-protected. (I hope you checked those links first I assure you they are ok, but always check!!)

good to have you aboard, and best of luck!

Hello! Nice to see new people in the community.

Any links to resources regarding setting up a secure wallet and acquiring BTC are welcome. Thanks for the replies. 

This looks like a good venture. I would definitley would put capital into this as an investor 

You are VERY welcome and I wish you the best. You are in the right place for what you need help with. Let me know when you have the ABY wallet downloaded and I am more than willing to help you out!

Howdy ikydesu, Possum577, hayabusa911, and tyz!

Thanks for the welcome, and for the links. I feel smarter and better informed already.

Possum: the tracks titled "Riddle 17 (demo)" and "Demands (demo)" are original work. The others are from when I worked at a radio station up in Alaska last year, just stuff I like from movies and whatnot.

All the best,

XPND

Hello and welcome to the board!
if you want to sell your music for virtual currencies easily then take a look at melodius.me project .

You should look into Applebyte (ABY). They help artists with start up campaigns. I'm holding on to quite a few, If you can get some applebyte holders to help fund you I will be more than happy to chip in some myself. download the ABY wallet and PM me you Addy.

So what does SoundCloud do/offer?

The website looks good, i listened to Rabble, Carl Sagan, and the Riddle demo. It doesn't seem like you're creating any music or art but providing some service related to broadcasting or playing tracks one owns. Can you share more detail?

Good luck.

Hi,

Briefly: I am establishing a company and am interested in the Bitcoin / Altcoin economies. Will be running around this place virtually over the next few weeks and months wrapping my head around everything that's been built.

If you are feeling philanthropic, I could use some startup capital. My wallet address is on my profile page and also in my signature.

For your listening pleasure, I have included links to my Soundcloud page and blog.

Post links to your art, business, and anything else bitcoin related that you've found useful. Best,

XPND
