- BTC address: how to check transactions?
Bitcoin is a digital currency and a global monetary system. It allows you to send or receive money without the participation of a trusted person or authorized body. Even online stores are already accepting tokens. BTC can be used for online purchases or accept cryptocurrency as payment. Only with Bitcoins you control your money. There is no third party involved in the transactions in the form of a bank or payment system. Crypto accounts are not frozen and payments are not blocked. Transactions cannot be canceled, and BTS cannot be faked. However, cryptocurrency is not anonymous. All transactions are stored on the blockchain and are publicly available. Anyone can track the transaction and see the balance.
Getting started with Bitcoin is not difficult. You don't need to be tech savvy to use it. All you need to do is download your Bitcoin wallet and generate a Bitcoin address. Then you will be able to carry out transactions with BTC without any problems. In this article we will look at what a Bitcoin address and a Bitcoin wallet are and how to use it.
What is a Bitcoin address?
BTC address is the account identifier. It is also called the public or receiving address. It is unique and consists of 25-35 Latin characters and numbers (except 0, O, I). It can also look like a QR code (simple graphical display). The Bitcoin wallet address does not contain information about the owner. You can get it for free. There is also a generator. It randomly creates Bitcoin addresses for crypto wallets.
Wallet address can be provided to the users from whom you want to receive Bitcoins. You can send this cryptocurrency from it, knowing the BTC receiving address of another person. It can be compared to a regular bank account number. A BTC address must be specified when you plan to buy Bitcoin from exchangers. Also if you want to withdraw coins from a cryptocurrency exchange.
Before you get a bitcoin address, you need to create a wallet. One user can have several of them. This increases the degree of confidentiality of payments made by him. A BTC address is required to conduct transactions with digital currency. Each time a transaction is made with BTS, a new address is usually generated. Funds are credited or debited within an hour or two. At the same time, private keys are created. They provide access to the identifier, as well as transactions. This key pair is located in the wallet.dat file. The user can find it on his PC. Old BTC-addresses also remain valid.
Each Bitcoin wallet address is linked to a person’s account in the system. This is necessary to bind the operation to the user. To carry out a transaction with Bitcoin, you need to know your bitcoin address, as well as the address of the recipient.
Since the generation of a Bitcoin ID is based on random generation of numbers, there is a small chance that two similar combinations will be created. This phenomenon is called "collision". But there is no need to worry or be afraid. The system is reliably protected. You won’t even be able to transfer bitcoins from another user’s wallet.
It is necessary to enter the identifier accurately, taking into account the case of characters. Usually it is enough to copy it and paste it into the desired field. You can also dial it manually. A transaction contains a hash of the operation that was completed previously. It also contains the recipients' crypto addresses. The operation is processed when the signatures are verified and the necessary information is sent to the Bitcoin network.
WHATTONEWS
Bitcoin address is an identifier containing 33 alphanumeric characters, in the current version of the protocol it starts with character 1 or 3, using this identifier you can make transactions with Bitcoin. Just like with email you can send a letter knowing the recipient's address, you can also send BTC to someone by sending them to the corresponding Bitcoin address.
