If you want to have a bitcoin wallet on your own, go to www.bitcoin.org and download the latest client.
After installing it, you should adjust your bitcoin client to use only tor connections with it (unless you have a complete vm tunneled through tor, then skip this).
When running the bitcoin-client the first time, you'll need to download all the blocks, that can take some time, be patience! :)
Now go to "Receive Bitcoin" and generate an address you want to receive your coins to, name it anything you like. (Use a new address for every transaction you're doing!)
If you just want to use SR with bitcoins, you won't need a bitcoin wallet on your own, just use the bitcoin address which can be found on SR by clicking "account" and use this :)
