There should be some kind of a tutorial for new bitcoin users (Im not saying it doesnt exist) which would be very popular and easy to find.
The most important thing in this tutorial would be why you should not download the bitcoin core as a new-born in this world (at least, I think that is one of the most important aspects).

Everybody can be scared about the amount of data needed to download for using it, and the newbie can think like "So, if I can only use bitcoin by bitcoincore, then Im going to quit that because Im not going to download over 100 GB of data just to transfer money!".

Im pretty tired of teaching the new people here to not use bitcoincore, but different wallets which do not require such an action.

First welcome to community.If you want to play a poker you can try bitcoin video to play poker but you need to earn bitcoin first in any way like joining campaign or solving a faucet rotator.. I have experience in bitcoin core and its too long to install because my internet is slow so i use online wallet like coinbase...

Ok will do that, it will take long time till my 100 transactions  Smiley

Actually it is not the number of transactions but the number of addresses you have used.
The Bitcoin Core client creates 100 addresses when you create the wallet.
Every time you use an address a new one is created.
But your backup will not include the new ones until you make a new backup.

P.S.
Better safe the file on the different devices.
And if you can keep them in two locations.

Wallet does pregenerates 100 wallet but it would be renewed every time you do any activity or rather, key in your password and it tries to maintain a 100 pregenerated address key pool everytime. Since change address is one of the pregenerated address everytime a transaction is made, you do have to back it up every 100 transaction

I'm curious, have you turned to Bitcoin because you couldn't play poker with fiat?

Also, you can browse the gambling section of this forum to find a poker site that suits you well. You obviously won't find anything as good as PokerStars, but most sites are good enough.

 I can play on any site i am from EU, but i like to try new things (bitcoin is not new, but its new to me Smiley , pokerstars is getting worse and worse in 2016 they will loose a lot of their long term grinders.

First of all welcome!

Although it is important that full nodes (Bitcoin Core) clients are running I would not recommend it to new people.
It takes a long time to synchronize and if you don't backup the wallet.dat file safely you risk loosing all your bitcoins.

I would recommend an SPV client like Electrum.
There is no need to wait for it to synchronize and as long as you remember the seed (a few words that you can write down) you will be able to recover all your bitcoins.
It is important but it isn't important if OP doesn't open port 8333 to allow nodes to connect to it. However, you do need to backup the wallet.dat file again once you have made 100 transactions.

SPV clients do not provide the same level of security as Bitcoin Core.


Good luck on your poker. I like cloudbet a lot with their live dealer feature! Do give it a try.

 Ok will do that, it will take long time till my 100 transactions  Smiley
