I've been flipping coin. how to import?
First get a 256-bit number by flipping the coin 256 times, and convert it to hex format. Then, convert it to WIF format using bitaddress in offline mode or manually with the following steps (not really suggested) Wallet_import_format. Please make sure you do enough testing to make sure everything is working, before depositing any bitcoin onto the address. i've much radioactive decay. how to import?
The idea should be exactly the same, and you need to get a 256-bit number with the decay data. You may get some idea from the section "Bit from It" in this page . |

Easiest way is to signup to a trading site like Localbitcoins or Coinbase and you automatically get a online wallet, done.

Stay away from that. Unless you know what you're doing don't create a brain wallet - most people don't have enough randomness to create a truly random phrase and hence they have their funds stolen once the phrase is bruteforced. Either that or people copy lines from famous movies/poems/songs thinking that their smart and have their coins stolen when a bot comes along and copy pastes them over and over. |

Whats the catch when using these wallets by the way?
That's a bit like being presented with a list of a half dozen types of vehicles and asking: "What's the catch when using these vehicles by the way?" Each wallet has its own features and "quirks". It's up to you as the consumer to determine what your needs are, to learn what each wallet has to offer, and to choose the wallet the best meets your needs. Armory and Electrum offline both provide a method to secure your private keys on a computer that is never connected to the internet to significantly increase security (but at a cost of some inconvenience, and owning a second computer that is never connected to the internet). Electrum relies on a server, MultiBit depends on SPV (Simplified Payment Verification). Armory and Bitcoin Core both require you to have enough available disk space to store the entire blockchain, and need to be kept up to date with synchronization. Most of those wallets run on computers, so they aren't as useful when you are out and about. Mycellium and Bitcoin Wallet run on Android mobile devices, so they are more convenient for carrying around. Most of those wallets can only be accessed from the one device where they are installed. They don't synchronize to other devices. You would need to create transactions to transfer balances between separate wallets on separate devices. blockchain.info is a hybrid wallet. You can access it from nearly any web browser (mobile device, laptop, desktop, etc). They store your private keys in encrypted form so they can't access (spend/steal) your bitcoins, and they provide a backup file of your wallet so that you can still access the bitcoins even if they disappear. This makes them much safer than other web based options (such as MtGox, BitStamp, localbitcoins, or Coinbase). thanks a lot Danny, I am concidering blockchain.info besides it, which do you recommend? |

you can acquire one in every bitcoin client like bitcoin-qt, multibit (use this one, its quicker) etc.
you can also generate vanity address like me, with your chosen word/beggining of bitcoin address

Why is that? They seem to be reputable and can be backuped to online drives. |
