Alice is now ready to start using her new bitcoin wallet. ((("", startref="GSquick01")))((("", startref="Wquick01"))) Her wallet application randomly generated a private key (described in more detail in <<private_keys>>) which will be used to derive bitcoin addresses that direct to her wallet. At this point, her bitcoin addresses are not known to the bitcoin network or "registered" with any part of the bitcoin system. Her bitcoin addresses are simply random numbers that correspond to her private key that she can use to control access to the funds. The addresses are generated independently by her wallet without reference or registration with any service. In fact, in most wallets, there is no association between a bitcoin address and any externally identifiable information including the user's identity. Until the moment an address is referenced as the recipient of value in a transaction posted on the bitcoin ledger, the bitcoin address is simply part of the vast number of possible addresses that are valid in bitcoin. Only once an address has been associated with a transaction does it become part of the known addresses in the network.
Alice clicks on the _Recieve_ button, which displays a QR code along with a bitcoin address. The QR code is the square with a pattern of black and white dots. Next to the wallet's bitcoin address is a QR code, a form of barcode that contains the same information in a format that can be scanned by a smartphone camera. Alice can copy the bitcoin address onto her clipboard by tapping it. In most wallets, tapping the QR code will also magnify it, so that it can be more easily scanned by a smartphone camera. Of note, when recieving funds to a new mobile wallet for the first time, many wallets will often re-verify that you have indeed secured your mneumonic phrase in order. This can range from a simple prompt to requiring the user to manually re-enter _in order_ the phrase.
