STEP 1

Go to https://blockchain.info and press the “GET A FREE WALLET” button

STEP 2

You are on the registration page. Unlike other electronic wallets resources, it is quite simple to register here. You don’t need to enter your personal data. After all, all calculations with Bitcoin are anonymous. Only valid e-mail and a strong password are needed.

STEP 3

Congratulations! You have joined the multi-million community of mobile Blockchain wallets users. The registration is completed. Now please take care of your wallet security.

How to protect your Bitcoin wallet?

Go to the “Security Center” section and then fill it.

The system has 3 levels of protection:

Level 1: Prevent losing access to your funds

Open your email, which was provided when registering. There you’ll find a letter from Blockchain.info.

The letter contains confirmation “YES, THIS IS MY EMAIL”. Click on it. Then copy and save your wallet number.

The icon will change its color after you confirm the email.

The next step is to restore your account in case if you forget your password. In the “Security Center” section, select “Backup Recovery Phrase” and follow the instructions.

You will be asked to print a form with 12 empty fields.

12 random words will appear on the screen after that. Write them into the appropriate boxes and save this paper. Since this done you can restore access to your wallet.

Save all the words.

Final step is “Verify”

The next clause is “Create Password Hint”.

Enter a word, or question that will help you to remember the password.

Level 2: Prevention of unauthorized access to the wallet

Link your mobile phone number to your account using two-factor authentication when entering the wallet. Specify the number and code that you’ll receive via SMS to activate it.

Then choose “Enable Two Step”

Click on “Use your mobile number”

Level 3: Advanced security settings for protecting your wallet

Activate the wallet protection from the IP addresses that are part of the anonymous Tor network.

Now your wallet is securely protected. You can start making transactions.

How to receive and send funds to your Bitcoin wallet?

To send money go to the “Send” section.

In the window that opens enter recipient Bitcoin wallet number, specify the amount and purpose of the transfer.

To receive the funds, select the “Request” tab.

In the window that opens, you will see your wallet number. Provide the sender with your wallet number or send a QR code so that he/she can find your wallet address instead.

You can use your wallet not only from your personal computer, but also from a mobile phone. By installing the Bitcoin Wallet application on your smartphone, you can use the wallet from both devices — synchronization occurs after scanning the QR code.
