I just do not understand how to get a Bitcoin Address. You know, the 27-34 character address?
Click the "New Address" button.
I got the Bitcoin Qt Wallet, but there is no information on how to get the address itself
There is a button. It is labeled "New Address" You need more information than that?
- it is very vague, and they should make it more clearer as to how this is done. They really should - because as it is, it's hard to find out how.
It really isn't. Just look in the "Receive" section of the wallet. That has the information that you need for receiving bitcoins (such as bitcoin adresses)
Also, what wallet should I use? I downloaded Armory, thinking this Bitcoin Qt looks better. I guess I will try Multibit too and make a decision.
All three of those are good wallets. Armory allows you to keep your wallet offline for added security if you have a computer that you can keep permanently disconnected fro the internet. You should learn a bit about each, and then choose the one that best fits your needs. Each has its own benefits and issues.
I click "New Address" in Qt,
Oh. Ok. So you figured out where to get a bitcoin address then?
but I can't just create the address on my own, pretty sure of that.
Not sure what you mean by that. When you clicked the "New Address" button, the wallet should ahve given you a new address. Didn't it?
I guess I gotta choose just one wallet and stick with it too.
Depends on your needs. I use several wallets, each for its own purpose.
Maybe you can import stuff to other wallet programs though, I don't know.
Most of the wallets provide a way to import private keys, but in many of the wallets it is an advanced function. You might want to avoid trying to do that until you better understand what you are doing. You can still create transactions to send bitcoins between wallets without trying to import anything though.
I mostly just want to find out how to get an address, they really need to make that easier to find for new people.
I'm not sure how much easier you want it to be, or who this "they" is that you are talking about.
