Hello,
I'm trying to get started with BTC and am definitely uncertain about some things. I am planning to get some BTC from a person on localbitcoins.com. What are the steps to do this? I have no cell phone.
1. How do I get an address?
2. How do I get a passcode to buy and sell the BTC and store it securely (not online for people to hack)?
3. How do I confirm that I've received the BTC once I give the seller the cash?
Thanks
1. You can get the bitcoin-qt which downloads the whole blockchain, but I recommend
http://coinbase.com since they are online (accessible everywhere), you can buy and sell BTC from them, and they pay the fees for you!!!
