Summary:
To receive bitcoin, you generate a new address in your wallet and share it with the sender. The funds are deposited after network confirmation.
Details:
Most wallets allow you to generate a fresh receiving address with a single tap. You can copy the address or display a QR code for the sender. Once the sender initiates the transaction and miners confirm it, the bitcoin appears in your wallet.
For privacy, it’s recommended to use a new address for each transaction. Most wallets support automatic rotation.
Key Features:
- Receiving bitcoin requires only a valid address.
- You can display addresses as QR codes for convenience.
- Funds appear after at least one network confirmation.
- Use new addresses per transaction to improve privacy.
- No fees are paid by the receiver—only by the sender.
