Both have different which can know any one like about public key which is called address.  So if you want to send money and want to get money from.any one in online base then we can use it and can receive it. So it can be low risk if any one know about ut. But private key which we use to safe our account like our password and other thing which we can't show to any one with this we can lose our money . So it important to take acre our private key and secure it.

On wallets, I do noticed they have public keys, and warned by the wallet that if the public key is revealed to anyone that all your transactions will be revealed to the person. And what are the other dangers of given public keys to another person?

 

Addresses are for receiving cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, each cryptocurrencies  have their own corresponding public keys and the key likely also generate the addresses, is this correct? 

 

If our cryptotalk account or wallet is locked, it is true that no one can see our account details, but on the other hand, if our account is not locked, everyone can see all our activities or account details. In my opinion, if your account wants to be safe from criminals, it is better if our account is locked.

Hey, buddy.
A public address is a set of letters and numbers that allow receiving and sending cryptocurrencies 
The private key is a secure lock for the wallet that no one else should know.

My friend, there are public keys and private keys in your wallet. Private keys are what you should keep for yourself and keep them and do not share them with anyone, while public keys are okay to share, as they are to receive money on your wallet.

Dear friend, thank you for this great topic. I think that the public key is like an e-mail. Its mission is to send and receive money through it, while the private key means the password and it is a somewhat secure wallet, so the difference is that the public key is used by everyone while the private is used according to the password only  thank you very much

You should not give your public or private key addresses to anyone, so you risk your account and your money. If you give your public key to someone, your account will be exposed to a risk but weak, but if someone reaches your private key, consider that your account and fraud will be easily hacked, and this is the biggest risk for you to keep your keys by yourself only.

I want to give you the simplest way to remember about the keys 
the public key is the key you have to share with those who want to exchange cryptocurrencies with them 

the address refers to the public address and it is a hashed version of the public key as the public key is made of a long string of numbers, it is compressed to form the public address and also you can share it
whereas the private key is like your password and you must to keep it for yourself, never sharing with anyone, never lose it.

Hello my friend, theoretically ther is no difference between the public key and the adress
but the address is a compact or compressed shape of the public key 
so you can share it to anyone who wants to send you anything by your wallet

There are a lot of differences between the public key and address . The title is very brief about what, for example, the subject speaks of . Any pen heads only . Or a general idea about this subject without any explanation or details . Just something very simple and a very short phrase about this for a subject in every acronym.

Welcome, my friend. We have to be very careful about keeping money in good wallets that secure a high level of security for the member and keys that are difficult to open. We have to ask adults and experts.

Public keys could be shared with people for transactions and by sharing public keys no one can hack our account. But in case of private keys ,they must be secured and not to be shared with anyone else because sharing private keys or addresses will expose us to scammers.
