edit: And, for future reference, don't post in this section of the forums. This is for technical people. Yo should have posted in beginners and help and you would have gotten answers more appropriate for a newbie.
My original question was technical. The answers I got sounded like they were from newbies.

Tell that to all the Libertarians who insist BitCoin will be the end-all, be-all, of money everywhere.
Rather look at those 100 addresses like you've been given 100 individually coded cheques
I'm trying to receive money, not pay money!
and people have been able to steal bitcoins.
Right, completely unlike PayPal, credit cards, or online bank accounts obviously. Every problem you've pointed out has a solution and it doesn't seem like you have much interest in figuring that out.I didn't invent BitCoin. I want to use it. Why should I figure it out?
Aren't there enough computer nerds?
[...] I'll never be able to keep track of them all. [...]
You don't need to, the software does it for you.
The software generates the addresses, but I have to figure out who I give what address to.
With paypal, you just give your e-mail address.
With bitcoin you got some crazy random address and if you get one digit wrong...oh well. All transactions are final.
And the block chain is already at 20gb. What happens when it's 20tb?
and it's so easy to lose your coins. Just lose your password, or have your hard drive blow up.

This will never catch on main stream.
You're right that it's a travesty that only two clients are interested in incorporating them at the moment.

...and how does one get one of these amazing "stealth addresses"?
100 addresses? That's insane. That's like going to the bank and them giving you 100 checking account numbers.
No, addresses are not account numbers.Addresses are single-use payment identifiers.
Using the same one more than once is a security and privacy vulnerability.
OK, so how do you get a mass amount of people to donate bitcoins to you securely??
Put out 100 different ads with different addresses?!? Seriously?
It is recommended to use a new address every time - for privacy and for security. You can simply reuse the same receiving address but it is not best practice. Lots of people do it though.
Your Bitcoin Core wallet has already generated a pool of (100) addresses for you to use. Every time you hit "request payment" it shows you another one.
So if I post an address on a website and multiple people sent bitcoin to it I'll be OK? I'll get all the coin?
100 addresses? That's insane. That's like going to the bank and them giving you 100 checking account numbers. WTF? I thought it was safe to post and use an address?
I just downloaded and synced bitcoin Core.
So what address do I use to receive bitcoins?
It doesn't seem to tell me what it is.
When I click request payment, it generates a new address every time.
I don't want a new wallet address for every transaction. I'll never be able to keep track of them all.
I just want one address to use with this wallet. Is that even possible???
What am I doing wrong?

I went to http://coingen.io/ and started a new cryptocoin. Now I need a full-fledged peer-to-peer network, a pool and an exchange.
Any help on how to do that?
