Hello BCT Members, Fresh Bitcoin Newb Here!!!

[Phobia2381]

So around the beginning of the year I thought about starting to get into bitcoin and mining atAfter reading up on mining back then I downloaded some things to start mining but never followed though since I hear its taxing on your computer and I need my laptop for as long as possible with out over working it.. The only income I have coming in right now is Internet Marketing and I've barely scrached the surface of that even.

Back then I made a wallet on blockchain(.)info, can't remember if I downloaded a wallet to my computer, if so I can't find it. I found my document I saved with my login info and of course $0 balance lol..

My question's are, is that a legit site to have a wallet for bitcoins on? Should I download a wallet? Where should i get one if not? and probly the most newb question of all thats asked probly a million times is there any bitcoin donation sites where I can start my balance off with something at lea inst. Maybe that'd help my get inspired about bit coin more and push to learn more about it, in my spare time.. Thanks for reading..

To everyone if you Celebrate Christmas.. Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Years, be safe and God Bless!

Merry Christmas.

While you CAN have an online wallet, I would not recommend it.

Not only do you need to trust the people running the service that they dont run away with your money, you also have to trust them to ensure the safety in case of an attack of their service. If you have very few btc its no big deal if they are gone, but the more you invest in BTC the more you need to think about things like a paperwallet or other means the secure your money.

If you dont want your laptop to download the whole chain you can use thing or slim client.
