Again, I really appreciate you spending your time with a rookie. I have just a couple of more questions just whenever you get a free moment.
Please dont laugh too hard, but is Bread Wallet for Bitcoins only? The reason why I ask is because when I copy the recieve money address, it specifically says "receive bitcoins at this address". I was thinking that the wallet would accept all crypto like Litecoin and Ether and thats what I've been trying to send.
Second question, there is a button that says "import private key". Now, I'm avoiding that button like it's going to launch a nuclear warhead or something. Can you elaborate some on what that means? Again, thank so much for your valuable time!
Please, please, don't just send crypto to an address before you fully understand how it works. Yes, Breadwallet is just a bitcoin wallet. It says so right on their web page. Did you lose your Ether and Litecoin? I hope not. Definitely spend some time learning about this stuff before you lose something valuable. :)
Import private key:
The way Bitcoin (and most cryptocurrencies) function is you have a public key of sorts (your public address) and you have a private key. The private key is what you own and control. That's how you own bitcoin. That import option is if you had a private key from a paper wallet or some other wallet and you wanted to import that private key to your Breadwallet app if you wanted to control the bitcoin at that public address and send it somewhere. It's also what you'd use if you needed to restore your Breadwallet from a backup.
Thank you so much for all the help. I feel like a total fool now. I didn't see the part about it being only for bitcoin, not sure why. I downloaded it from the play store but nevertheless, I understand everything a little more now, thanks!
