How to apply for a wallet and how to collect and pay can be done by the following steps:
Before downloading wallet software, make sure your computer is safe, and all the upgraded security packages are upgraded. Personally, I don't recommend using a cold wallet on the first try. Fast entry is king.
Set the wallet password: pay attention to ensure the password is strong, numbers+letters+special symbols, preferably 16 digits or more. But as an ordinary user, it is really painful. Now everyone has at least three commonly used passwords, and this requires a complicated password. I am so angry. . . Teach you two tricks: copy the password on paper and lock the paper in your safe; What if there is no safe? I can only make my own cold salad. . .
Back up your wallet regularly: here are two key words: regular and backup. Because our computer will be lost and damaged, we need to reinstall the bitcoin core software. Then a backup wallet data is very important and can help us recover quickly. After backing up the wallet.dat file, copy it and put it on a USB flash drive. For safety reasons, put two USB flash drives. Why do you need regular backups? U disk also has a life, you may not know when it is broken. At the same time, with the passage of time, the transaction address of your wallet will be used more and more, so you need to back it up regularly. For ordinary users, it is enough to make backups regularly every six months.
4. Collection and payment: click "Receive" to generate the collection address.
