When I started, I created an online wallet, although not recommended due to risk of hacking. But it's a start while you are still learning. What you provide is the public key. You hold and keep your private key and put it somewhere safe. For secure wallet recommendations, consider going to the Beginner's and Help section of this forum. It's pinned on top.
Hey mate, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. I missed that section.
