I got it, sort of lol. Got bluewallet last night. Set it up as basic as i could understand it. So many things or types to shoose from i tried to make mine simple and direct. IF, say for instance, IF my dead braincells are that far gone can i try this...send my donation to a good friend who's on here as well, have him put it in HIS wallet then he sends donation to dbg with my handle attached so you know where it came from...for a half brain dead geek i come up with some decent solutions...i "think" anyway lol@Rocco-x Ideally you want to just get out of the C0inbase framework entirely. If you have a phone, just download BlueWallet. Create a bitcoin wallet with it. Its very easy. Then click the receive button and it will give you an address to send fund to from your c0inbase account. Then you can send to whomever.
@gc1967 -- This is so true! When a friend of mine first started using Bitcoin years ago their first Bitcoin account was with a popular Exchange. Since he was new to bitcoin at that time he didn't realize he should send to a separate wallet first and then transfer from the wallet to the vendor. He sent the payment directly to the vendor from his exchange. Big mistake! After several payments to that vendor they flagged his account saying he was sending payments to a suspicious Bitcoin address. They canceled his account. He had to start all over with a new Exchange. Definitely listen to any advice@DoomKitty says because they know what they're talking about. Don't make the same mistake! There's tons of Free Online Wallets you can transfer BTC to and from. Good luck!@gc1967 Sorry, i thought you already had money in blockchain.com or something. Yes, you can just use blue, but you will still need to transfer to a different wallet address prior to sending here. A lot of people just do that in app, so just make another wallet in blue and send to that first. Basically sending money to a different address first helps in case dbg's very publicly posted btc address gets flagged and reported. A lot of exchanges will ban you if you do anything remotely suspicious.
Many thanks for the advice - all sorted now@gc1967 -- This is so true! When a friend of mine first started using Bitcoin years ago their first Bitcoin account was with a popular Exchange.

There's a sub forum on the front page it's in there stickiedwhere's the address to send the bitcoin?
I was on the old forum so I am not new on here. Bitcoin has become a real headache here in the US. When one buys it these days you have to give the reason for purchase to the IRS if I am not mistaken.So one buys bitcoin and transfers to a separate wallet and then send for donation? That is a lot of trouble for most people and aren't there fees for every transaction? Isn't there an easier way?
