How can I get a Public Address?

Getting a Wallet is STEP ONE towards getting a public address and adding it to your public address on your Bity to BUY/SELL or SWAP cryptocurrencies.

Everyone who owns cryptocurrencies (bitcoins, ether, ...) has to have a unique identifier or address - much as you would with your bank account. This is the public address of your Wallet which you need to store your crypto assets.

What does this address look like?

It is a long series of numbers and letters like this one - mine, for example, is this:

Bitcoin Public Address:

1CVmtcWSifU1gBa7anH1WaBaT2AqScMDtt

Ether Public Address:

0x17504553eBA2433e6952e75f4b80D23c0d519AE1

You are also given a Quick Response code (or QR code). You can send that to people, or they can scan that with the camera function on their smart phone to easily have your wallet address. It's just a short cut rather than having to type out your full address which is rather long!

Like this one:

Cryptocurrencies public addresses are free to create, and there's an essentially limitless supply of them - it's considered good practice to use a new address every time you want to receive bitcoins, ethers, ... it makes correlating your monetary habits more difficult.

Should I worry about putting that on a public website!?

Not at all! This address is safe to give to anyone. It is like publishing your bank account number (IBAN), all you can expect is that someone sends you money. People can't access your wallet at all is you publish your PUBLIC ADDRESS. So feel free to send me bitcoins if you wish! I will be very happy :).

NOTE: Every cryptocurrency has its own public address.
