Topic: How to sign up for Ethereum Wallet? (Read 108 times)
I started reading your post and feel free to add few lines, in reference to using MEW you also using any ERC20 tokens. To be safe you had wrote down your wallet Recovery Phrases in offline. This phrase is VERY important. Only share your public address and keep safe your private key.
You don't need "money" to register for an ethereum wallet. What you probably want is an Ethereum address, and since you don't have Ethereum nor know how to "buy it" I assume that you want to get some airdrops or similar. No problem.
The simplest way, not the safest, is to go to myetherwallet, read all the splash screen that tell you about safety and all. It is all information that you should start understanding to be safe.
Now, by default you'll be on the tab "New Wallet", just set a good password with numbers, uppercase, long... you know, make it strong. Then hit "create new wallet".
In a few seconds you will get another screen that tells you to backup your private key. Do so. If you loose this file you will loose all funds and nobody will be able to help you recover them. If someone gets this file, you funds may be stolen. KEEP IT SAFE. Never give your pass, never give your private key.
You file will look like this: UTC--2018-02-23T15-18-54.589Z--029e49fb289e41dd3dbcfb09a928093efaf09aed
Now you can continue. You will now be shown your priv key. something like 4e73b93269c22e220b816167067b96a72eaadac0bb275942ae903d0b13bad0f9
KEEP IT SAFE. Never give your pass, never give your private key. Print a paper wallet or save your key safely. DON'T LOOSE IT.
You now have a wallet. To get tokens or ethereum you will need to give your PUBLIC address.
Now, continue by opening your wallet. Choose the option "open with... private key". Paste your private key. You will then unlock your wallet and, scrolling a bit down and find your public address. That one, you can give freely and that is the destination address for any ether or tokens that you want to receive.

As an alternative to what AdolfinWolf said, you could also use MyEtherWallet[1] which is much better in my opinion. They also have a guide[2] on how to create your own wallet, so after reading through it you're pretty much good to go. Take note that MyEtherWallet is NOT an Android/iOS app. It's a web app.

Hi I need to know that where can I sign up for a new ethereum wallet..as I am new to this crypto world so starting from zero I need to know that do I need some money to register for ethereum wallet and where I can do that?
Simply download the wallet from here, https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases/ and then make a password etc. There's not really any signup in the form of confirming an email etc.
^^ Mist is the wallet that is also listed on the frontpage of Ethereum, here -> https://www.ethereum.org/
If you still really can't figure it out how to do it on your own, follow this guide, it spoonfeeds you pretty well. https://medium.com/@attores/step-by-step-guide-getting-started-with-ethereum-mist-wallet-772a3cc99af4
