HowTo: Create a Bitcoin Wallet directly on your PC:
Steemit.com is a awsome Platform build on Blockchain-Technology and mining powered.
A lot of social and media advertising brings us new users every single day.
For most of them Crypto and the underlying Technologies are new.
And a lot of them would like to know how they could participate and possibly earn something, just with the stuff they've allready got.
Or you just wan't to know how to use bitcoin.
So i started this Blog-Articles to give you a short look into the world of bitcoin, and maybe show you the first steps into your own personaly crypto-adventure ;).
Have fun!
You also could use some kind of online Wallet like Blockchain.info - but personally i don't prefer online Wallets because they have more risks to lose your Bitcoins (you don't hold everything in your hand - or your harddrive ;) - with this guide you could).
For this Guide i will Show you how easy it's to create your First Bitcoin Wallet with electum.
You find Electum here:
https://electrum.org/#download
Download the portable Version (i prefer These Versions of everything i use - they leaves less registry entries and are easier to handle).
Extract it anywhere you want (you don't have to use a thumbdrive, you also could just use your Desktop)
Now Start the downloaded file (and accept the winedows firewall promt).
You now shold see this screen:
Click on next, and you should get this one:
The shown passphrase is your security-key, please write it down or securely store it on other ways you like (e.g. a password manager like keepass).
Now click on next again:
You have to enter your passphrase again, to enshure you've written it down without typos.
(and click next)
Now (if you want) you could make your wallet password-protected, if you would just type in your favourite chosen password and click next - but don't forget it, or your coins will be lost.
The next screen you could skip with next.
Hello World: This is your new Bitcoin-Wallet:
So lets make a backup:
Store it on a secure place (e.g. like your SkyDrive)
So now you've done everything to set up you wallet - what's next?
Get some coins! =)
