It's a bitcoin wallet address, not an url of any sort, you need it to transfer bitcoins you obtain somewhere else to SR. There should be nice tutorials about this.

Thanks for reply.

BTW- when u say "There should be nice tutorials", do u mean that there exists tutorials, and i need to look for them OR, there really aren't any, and you were expressing the need for them?
