^^^thank you.
1. wallet address(like:1QKuiPibmXDNMtSNNYYmpFczZViRz9AzEF) is(the actual number) the result of privet key+ public key only?
when referring to the number above, is saying: wallet address, public address, public key are all the same?

there is a image data named "Conversion from ECDSA public key to Bitcoin Address"
1. using 32bytes X 2 is it Uncompressed (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm)?
2. what is the (BE) next to the 32bytes mean?

1. Uncompressed
2. BE means Big Endian - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

wow thank you for the reply!
at least half of them i read already, my questions about the process of the signature remain

Question about process of the signature?
Each input is signed with an ECDSA digital signature of a digest of the transaction. The ECDSA signature is calculated on the Secp256k1 curve using a private key that is associated with the address that the bitcoins were received at.

1. the info image describing the process is it Uncompressed or compressed?
i think its compressed cus the 32bytsX2 but i am not sure...
1. the info image describing the process is it Uncompressed or compressed?
i think its compressed cus the 32bytsX2 but i am not sure...
The image indicates an address generated from RIPEMD160(SHA256(32 byte X_Integer and 32 byte Y_integer))
Therefore it is uncompressed.
wow thank you for the reply!
at least half of them i read already, my questions about the process of the signature remain, but i am going to read it again.

Hello all,
my aim to know everything there is on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies-in depth, i am autodidact.
i have been reading a lot on the subject, did a search here and google(even bing...).
transactions-A want to send 3 coins to B:
A got a wallet address from B, A uses the address and hits "Send".
1. "on send" what protocol(s) is(are) been used?
2. what are the steps(for sender to block) until the transaction in been hash into a block?

3. B wallet address is: private Key+public Key=+transaction message=basically a message with cryptographic signature?
No. See here:

4. the receiving side is the one that allways creating the signatures?
No. See here:
