Thanks Casis, I bookmarked you for reference when I understand more and get going. At the scale I will begin with, I on't require security.

I am the greenest of novices, I cannot understand 1/10 of what I read on this forum, I don't type well or quickly. I understand economics, finanace, and some geopolitical realities. I don't wish to rip off the gov or anyone else. I only wish to promote and join Bitcoin which appears to be an idea whose time has come. This is the greatest answer I've ever seen to the abuses of the global banking cartel.

However, I cannot learn a whole new language and philosophy just to begin a small account. In the forum I read Vladimir's 14 steps to securing your money and my eyes fairly bulged from my head. I approve of some security and I am a bit paranoid, but if those proceedures are necessary, I have no place here. Can anyone help with a simpler approach? Thanks.
