Bitcoin Forum

Hello, New to Bitcoin and what I would like to do is simply pay for a few monthly bills online, Only about £30 a month in total and was thinking of using
the Green address app for my phone. Would this be a safe way to go

You may go with Green Address wallet, but double check that you will be installing the right app.
Still, I like to suggest you to learn more about different types of available bitcoin wallets from here https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

That is the right URL, every newbie must check.

My suggestion must be : Choose desktop wallet for long term saving, even for hot wallet as it is more secured and will support your to hold your bitcoins. Mobile wallet may lag in security.

Try looking into coinbase i have been using there online/mobile wallet for nearly a year now.

I have had no issues so far.

try that link and yes greenwallet is good until you do not want to go on a little adance and learn about the public and private key diffrence anyway to earn that muh there many earning methods and i will suggest try altcoin mining

Future has nothing to do with past. So, no guarantee for same in upcoming days with an online wallet provider always. Please do not suggest online wallets as some light wallets has no differences from online wallets for newbies.

I advice you using the desktop wallet , or the blockchain wallet, both are secured and safe enough for long term dealing with Bitcoin, especially if you look for holding some bitcoins into your wallet

The best wallet is the wallet which you have the private key, so you can always getting the access to your bitcoins. The exchangers and online wallets aren't always safe and secure.

Green address is also a good wallet  but  you could try some reputable  web wallets  like coinsbase,blockchain and same others said you could try pc wallets for long erm purpose. If you are just starting  up to  bitcoin world then  better go to  beginners section for some  essential ideas that you would need.

I know coinbase has visa cards that you can sign up for and even have btc to paypal conversion.

You can try blockchain.info mobile wallet as they have inbuild bitcoin address scanning feature which can save you from sending bitcoin to wrong bitcoin address.

You can try blockchain's wallet as they are far more safer and trusted . They have been here for years and people are now harnessing it very frequently . I love using its application .

I was been there than that im also a newbie also and i remember i always asking my friend what should i do about bitcoins and he really annoys my question and started to search about my question and google helps me more than my friend. Try to search for your own good

you want to do some bitcoin activities right ? if you really want too then find ways.
there are lots of ways that you can do first to do some research all about bitcoins.
and signature campaign might help you to do some activities to earn bitcoins.
and there are trading that can be profitable and gambling dont'

When you get to high rank enough and join a decent signature campaign, you'll be able to earn maybe a lot more than 30$ a month.

If you are looking for paying on the go on your mobile what ever your mobile is, Android or iOS the safest bet is Mycellium wallet. It is the safest bet because using a BIP32 (or 39 don't remember) and is the safest protocol as is also a wallet which can have a seed.

Having a seed (which you should keep in the safest place) means that you can restore this wallet even if you upgrade your phone later. Meanwhile it can be used for daily activities which you plan to do during a month.

There might be some bills you would not be able to pay, because they do not accept Bitcoin yet, so I would suggest you use Xapo for that.

They have Xapo Debit cards and also Cold-Storage Vaults which offer you a bit more security. Just go to https://xapo.com/ and sign up

for their service. Read the FAQ to learn more about their features and what fees they charge for their service.  ;)

Didn't heard anything bad about this wallet so go ahead.
Choose good exchange for buying bitcoins and have fun :)

Bro I have doubt on this because however Bitcoin debit card seems to decentralized one right. How we can use that to pay a government bills like electricity and water. If that can be possible even I will switch over to that.

Honestly if you want to pay bills, use your local currency. You will have to use your local currency to buy bitcoin, and then sell your coin again. I assure you you'll get pounded by fees.

green wallet is ok but i would suggest mycelium wallet as it is much more easy to use and have lot more control over your money as because you can export your public and private key to any other wallet also you can watch money convertion into other currencys at many diffrent exchanges

Reads more about cryptop currency it will helps you out to find out what you are looking for maybe you should start reading from here and apply it to your self and you will find out.

My advice to earn your quota every month offered any services like skills in programming and graphic designing this is the skills looking in this forum.

Transferring Bitcoin to your bank account is a good backup plan when you need to pay bills.

As for using Green Address to pay your bills, I haven't tried it so I don't recommend it. I wouldn't want another person to pay my bills for me without insurance.

Any wallet goes for monthly payments, green address should be fine. If you plan to store $9000 in a wallet it's another story. Try to check all btc to £ exchanges (including outside the UK), the fees vary a lot.

But  as we all know  , most of  us dont have these kind  of skills thats why  its somehow hard to earn   when you try  up to go  in services  section which  most of  seeking   jobs their  are  connected to technical skills.  30 euro is not  big  though you could possibly earn  it   here in this forum.

Why don't you use blockchain's mobile wallet app? That is quite secure i guess because i used it before sometime on my smartphone and had no issues with it and it was quite fast as well, not using it anymore though so don't know how it works right now.

Blockchain wallet is really well secured. I too use the same wallet for my transactions. We do have other wallet like localbitcoin chain. For a better trading, this wallet/site can be used. Though the wallets are well secured, its individual's responsibility to set up the security system at our desks. We have few steps described. Wallet is one of the key source in this career. Read more threads on the ways we can earn more bitcoins and start posting. Post needs to be constructive. Welcome onboard dude.

Yes Bro It is Safe to Use The Green Address Wallet But Before Using this Wallet Also Try Using Some Other Wallets Of Bitcoin But I Also Suggest You That Use Blockchain.info Wallet Because It is The Official Wallet Of Storing Bitcoins and Also It is Better Than Green address Wallet.....

Blockchain.info wallet is really a good wallet. Well secured. We must set up security on our systems though the wallet is already well secured well. To save or hold the earned bitcoins, we require a wallet. Read many threads, you will know more wallets and you will be familiar with bitcoins. There are many ways opened here to earn bitcoins. 

You have  a point though since blockchain wallet   have been used  by most users   here  on  bitcoin world but still you should  put only small amounts  because risk  of lossing is  still there. If you have  lots of bitcoin  its better to  use desktop wallets  which is somehow safer  than  web wallets. and also web wallets  is  more faster  when it comes to online transaction and other web wallets  out there.

Start your posts. Require knowledge on bitcoins before posting. Threads here guide and make you completely understand what btc is and what happens with it.

The best advice I can give:
Don't believe everything you read here or what people promise to you.
If an offer sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
Using your head can save you a lot of trouble, and coins.

I've been using blockchains wallet since I've started and I'd recommend it to anyone that's not planning on keeping large sums of btc on their wallet, if you're planing on so, I'd suggest you to get some offline wallet and more secure one.

Yeah,i never heard bad thing or saw bad comments about that green address up and it looks like safe for you to use . Just make a try first.

Correct, blockchain.info is somehow a famous  web wallet as OP mentioned on  green address i do heard  of it also but i would not intend to use it ,i prefer the  most reputable web wallets though. Offline wallets  are better for  huge amounts  to increase the security of your bitcoins.

Yes. It is experienced to be good and secured. Still it depends on how you keep your wallets secured with the options given by the site. I have an experience. I happened to give in my login details into a sits which resembles as blockchain. I ignored reading out the URL. Within 20 minutes of login, my btc was hacked out from the wallet. Later I noticed the URL being biockchaina.com. Nothing could be done.

How about Copay? I don't see people mentioning it tho isn't being able to use the same wallet on PC and Phone a good thing for small earner/spenders?

There are many types of wallet like green address wallet,desktop wallet,block chain wallet etc.You can go with any of them.These are secured and safe enough for long term dealing with bitcoin.If you have just enterd into bitcoin world then it is better go to beginners section for some important and essential ideas that you would need.

i think you can choose mycelium for the wallet for your android phone because for me, mycelium is the best wallet for android phone. and for the pc bitcoin wallet, you can try for bitcoin-qt or multibit. both is a good and recommended bitcoin wallet. but its need times to get sync from the network and its worth it.

Next time  we  should  be very careful when we are  logging in  into  web wallets  sites  because    there are  lots of  clone   sites which  you could  hardly notice it when  you dont pay attention to it  and  for sure you would  be a victim on that site  because  all  of those are phishing sites which  they actually get  your logging  in  details and could able to stole your bitcoins  on the actual wallet.
