I want to show how easy it is to throw up a Bitcoin address, preferably for cryptocurrency newbies. I often ask content creators to throw one up, but they don't know where to start. The first one to grab this gets ~$10 CAD in Litecoin (LTC).

Using Litecoin only because the process is similar for transactions the way I'm doing it, and Bitcoin fees for non-lighting transactions are probably high right now.

If one navigates here:
https://coinb.in/#newAddress 

one should see something like:

click box "Custom Seed or Brain Wallet" and type a much better strong password than I used in the text field. Click the blue generate button. THAT'S IT! You have a Bitcoin address and click the white "Show" box to see the private key.

We are going to use LTC for live demo though, for kicks and giggles. So we have to change

Network:
Bitcoin (mainnet)

to...

https://coinb.in/#settings

What looks like after changing

Network:
Litecoin (mainnet)

and

hitting "Submit Query"

Same process as with Bitcoin in tweet "5/" of this thread.

Now to make a transaction. I'm not going to explain everything. My purpose for this thread was just to show how easy it is to get a Bitcoin address ( Legacy Compressed ) and a private key derived from a "Brain Wallet". Repeating "5/" next tweet.
