1. You can open an account on blockchain.info

2. Don't bother, erupter is too slow. Get Bi-Fury or BlueFury instead.

3. Go to the https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page

hello,

1 - i need account which site to create a bitcoind account? it's free?

You don't need any account.
I recommend you not using bitcoind or bitcoin-qt but an alternative, easier client such as multibit: https://multibit.org/

2 - i'm looking the usb erupter to start minning because its more simple to start, it's recommended?

Any investment in mining can be a waste of money.
USB eruptors will not make you earn anything; they are now good just for educational purposes.

3 - anybody recommends any article about how to start with bitcoin and minning?

This forum is full of informations and people willing to help.
Watch out: there are a lot of scammers too!

Mining is really really hard nowadays.
It goes like this: you buy expensive hardware, they will send it to you in few months, when you get it it will be obsolete and quite useless.

You can instead buy/sell bitcoins, you can sell goods or services, you can buy shares... everything you see in this forum.

what you recommend?

Stay away from mining before you have read everything about this; start from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0

Stay away from anything before you have read everything.

when i receive my money and i don't have account where will stay my money?

Inside your computer, in your bitcoin client software.

Your best choice is wait for bitcoin mini crash then buy because it will go up within 3-7 days. Mining is not very profitable this days. For bitcoin wallet I recommend bitcoin qt.

Go get some Bitcoin and play with it. Thats the quickest way to get acquainted with your new friend.

These two sites are enough to get you started.
