I'm a bit new in the forum and still trying to figure out how so many things work, I would love to know how to get a functional wallet address or a step-by-step guide on how to create one.
I don't exactly know, which topic/thread I should mention here. But I have a single thread which consists of all other informative threads and that single thread is like a encyclopedia of bitcoin talk. And that's made by Ratimov, You should check the wallets section for further details.
[AUGUST UPD.] Beginners & Help EncyclopediaRatimov's Forum Guides, Tutorials & ListsIn the first link, you will find hell lot of links, to find wallet related topics, you can use ctrl+F key and then write wallet keyword in the search bar and then all the topics containing that keyword will be highlighted. I know you must know that, but just in case I have to tell you that too.
Besides these topics, many other members have mentioned some good thread like the Electrum's threads, Most people have mentioned that wallets, because that's open source but keep in mind that Electrum is only for BTC, you can not send or receive any other coin or token on that wallet. I hope you will enjoy your time here and learn new things. For a newbie, in start, it is hard to set up a wallet, but if you come to decide which wallet you are going to use then you should watch a video on YT before experimenting something.
