((("getting started", "quick start example", id="GSquick01")))((("wallets", "quick start example", id="Wquick01")))((("use cases", "buying coffee", id="aliceone")))Alice, who we introduced in <<user-stories>>, is not a technical user and only recently heard about bitcoin from her friend Joe. While at a party, Joe is once again enthusiastically explaining bitcoin to all around him and is offering a demonstration. Intrigued, Alice asks how she can get started with bitcoin. Joe says that a mobile wallet is best for new users and he recommends a few of his favorite wallets. Alice downloads "Bluewallet" for Android and installs it on her phone.
When Alice runs Bluewallet for the first time, she chooses the option to create a new wallet, and takes a moment **away from Joe and all other parties** to write down a secret mneumonic phrase in order on a piece of paper. As explained the by mobile wallet and by Joe earlier, the mneumonic phrase allows Alice to restore her wallet in case she loses her mobile device and grants her access to her funds on another device. After creating her wallet, Alice can tap it to see her bitcoin amount, transaction history, as well as two buttons that allow her to either _recieve_ or _send_ bitcoin. <<bluewallet-welcome>>. Alice clicks on the _Recieve_ button, which will displays a QR code along with bitcoin address. Of note, when recieving fund from a new mobile wallet for the first time, many wallets will often re-verify that you have indeed secured your mneumonic phrase. This can range from a simple prompt to requiring the user to manually re-enter the phrase.

After creating her wallet, Alice can tap it to see her bitcoin amount, transaction history, as well as two buttons that allow her to either _recieve_ or _send_ bitcoin, shown in <<bluewallet-welcome>>. 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. 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.

((("addresses", "bitcoin wallet quick start example")))((("QR codes", "bitcoin wallet quick start example")))((("addresses", see="also keys and addresses")))The most important part of this screen is Alice's _bitcoin address_. On the screen it appears as a long string of letters and numbers: +1Cdid9KFAaatwczBwBttQcwXYCpvK8h7FK+. 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. The QR code is the square with a pattern of black and white dots. Alice can copy the bitcoin address or the QR code onto her clipboard by tapping the QR code, or the Receive button. In most wallets, tapping the QR code will also magnify it, so that it can be more easily scanned by a smartphone camera. (note: do _not_ send bitcoin to this sample address, it will be lost forever).
((("addresses", "bitcoin wallet quick start example")))((("QR codes", "bitcoin wallet quick start example")))((("addresses", see="also keys and addresses"))) The main wallet view displays the bitcoin amount, transaction history, as well as _Recieve_ and _Send_ bitcoin. 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.
