Thanks.. I'll have to open Proof of Brain account and check it out..
Listen as long as you are here.. I still haven't opened a Bit-Coin Account.. I started to on Coinbase... they wanted me to take a picture of my Drivers License, both sides. for verification.. IS that standard for everyone? Main reason for me to have bitcoin is ..Stripchat accepts them and I can get a discount... ha ha..

You don't need an account to use POB - just go to the site to see it, and all you need to do to earn the tokens is put the #proofofbrain tag on your posts

And you don't need an account to use BTC - you need a wallet to put it in, but you need to use an exchange to buy or sell - there are ways around that though.

To start with the easiest wallet to use is Exodus, but you need to be running a 64bit computer to use it, so any old 32 bit ones won't work.

https://www.exodus.com

It is most secure with linux operating systems but you can use windows too.

And it's free - catch is they charge higher fees to swap between coins - apart from that it's a really impressive wallet and good way to get started.

If you get a lot of cryptos you need to sort out better security - a hardware wallet or an offline pc, but to start out exodus on your pc is a good intro

still not clear to me... OK I get a wallet FIRST ... use EXODUS ..need 64bit computer.. I have a 1 TB hard drive.. is that good enough?

So now I have a wallet with nothing in it...

so I have to go to an exchange next to buy BTC with a credit card ?

so coinbase is the exchange I go to ? Then they want a photo of my drivers license ? .. I'm not doing that..

sorry to take your time up .. easy to make a mistake transferring money on the internet when you don't know what you are doing..I will start with a small amount until I get the hang of it... your the best I don't care what @lucylin says about you..

I use exodus too, btw- it's easy enough....(don't tell @frot we've been talking - he'll send me more piccy's of trannies).

I love frot he's crazy smart .. my kind of people.. me I'm just crazy, not too smart.. Thanks 4 reply..

Thanks Ian .. very confusing for me...Yes picking a wallet was what prevented me from getting BTC years ago.. I have no one to give me advice...
Yes I know you told me I just have to use the tag POB in my posts.. to get their coin..but still going to log-in to POB like Leo-finance coin..Which I don't use ))) because I'm into cats, nature some humor and stripchat on the side...My eyes glass over when I start trying to understand crypto crap. On the other hand I picked up on squirting pretty good.. Guess we all have our own special talents...

i'll get back to you tomorrow with more info

how not to learn about cryptos - leo finance - mostly just confusing and clueless!

Thanks .. was easy for me to get on steemit... bitcoin and other cryptos just too much information for me too handle.. I sure would like a BTC account in case Hive makes me money.. then can transfer to Btc coin where many places are excepting.. Just makes sense.. The wallet thing I need help on...Soft , Hard sounds like me when I visit stripchat.. Anyway thank you very much..

Strange things are going on - the voting on your last post for example - hang on to your hat, your friends are stressing out some accounts that need to chill out!

I have a 64 bit computer ..just checked windows 10

Hear there are some kind of disagreements or war going on in Hive..I know nothing about it as usual.. Yeah got upped by 2 1/2 whale votes.. on an ordinary post of mine.. Keep me informed ..thanks

the thing with 64 bit vs 32 bit is not hard drive size it's the processor on computer - here's a way to find out

if you have 64 bit exodus is all you need to get started
