Ok, I will do one step at the time. I will work on getting rid of the one I have now so I can create another one and after I buy small $ to test, then by that time I should have a better knowledge of how to do the things I  want.

One final question is, I can copy and paste the address of my wallet (the long code) and the password and then print and save a hard copy in case the computer goes bad then I should be able in another computer to open the account?

What I used was Bitcoin-QT. My friend sent me a small fraction of bitcoin to test it and then I sent it back which worked fine. So this wallet is empty.

So all I have to do is delete the wallet.dat file and dl again and start all new. For now I will not need the treasure wallet because I have nothing yet, but once I get going I would like to buy to invest and then is when that will come about. I did read about having a paper wallet you mentioned and will have to read more of it. I even thought of just dl the bitcoin-qt again but in an external drive and that way will not need a computer to have  it sit.

I have read your message three times ( remember I am a newbie ) and still am in a cloud some what. In plain English, I can have a wallet that would be in a computer which I would only connect to the internet so i can transfer from my active wallet then disconnect it again after the transfer has been finished. This I think I understand a great % of it.

In my active computer I have installed the walled which I lost the password I created months ago. How can I create another? Do I need to download the same program again?

Very new to this and was reading that there were a couple of hacks short time ago and is recommended to  keep your bitcoins in offline computer. Here is my problem, a friend told me about bitcoin and I did open a wallet but it has been a few months and I lost where I stored my wallet password. I want to get going now and I see that I can have multiple wallets and of course, all but one offline. Only one to wheel and deal. Once I load some valuable coins then I will transfer to my offline wallets.

Do I need to download the software for creating wallets each time I create a wallet? If not, then how do I go to do my wallets.

Want to know if there is an active community in Puerto Rico that I can be part of. I have been wanting to get into bitcoin for over a year because a friend I met in Colombia, but I had an accident there and was flown back here to PR. Now that I am able to do some moving, I would like to start my journey in bitcoin.

Help please.

Quiero saber si hay una comunidad bitcoin activa en Puerto Rico en la que puedo ser parte. He querido aprender a bitcoin por un amigo en Colombia pero tuve un accidente el cual me trajeron a PR. Ahora que estoy mas aliviado quiero empezar mi viaje en bitcoin.

Ayuda por favor

I was in Colombia where I met a friend who recommended me bitcoin. I had an accident there and had to be flown back to Puerto Rico. I am still disabled after a year of the accident and now I am ready to start my journey in bitcoin. I see that some of you have mentioned buying bitcoins in Walmart. I am in Fajardo and can travel to Carolina if needed to, but my concern is that if I go to Walmart and ask to buy bitcoin they may think I am from a different planet. Is there anything I need to ask for besides mentioning bitcoin?

Also, if there is a community being started in Puerto Rico, I like to be part of it. I am an administrator in an FTA forum in Canada and added a section for bitcoin in Spanish, but has been stagnated since I opened it because no one seems to know or heard of bitcoin. I am new in this forum and do not know how to send PMs unless I am not allowed to as of yet.
