My question na goes to, do you believe this set of bitcoin developers don't know who Satoshi be? Em d somehow that none of the core developers of bitcoin no know who Satoshi be. All of them can't accept to work or develop bitcoin for Satoshi without reaching out to him in one way or the other.
Satoshi na person wey dey take privacy very seriously, so he made sure not to lose it before he disappeared from the community. Of course Satoshi go don communicate with some of the developers wey help am wella, but him go fit do that without losing him privacy na, even the admin of this forum fit read Satoshi PM's wey him been send when he was a user here, but you cannot use any of that to determine who the creator of Bitcoin be. If person bring interesting proposal to you through the internet, but the person no wan tell you about their identity, if you like the project, nothing concern you with their identity, you go just lend your own support. In addition to what Coyster said so, in order to reach you don't necessarily need to meet the person first to first and why these devs choose to support in the development of Bitcoin was because they saw the potential of Bitcoin, don't forget before the invention of bitcoin there have been already been alot of people trying to find a way of solving the double spending problem in Blockchain technology which Satoshi did with the proof of work mechanism in the creation of bitcoin. So these devs never needed to see him all that matters was that, Is idea for solving such problem seems logically possible and so they supported and now we have Bitcoin. Aside the core dev there have been alot of individuals who have supported the growth of Bitcoin but have never even gotten any personal message from him but still continue because they believe in bitcoin. Even Hal Finney who was among the core dev and he was the first to receive bitcoin which he did receive from Satoshi, didn't know him though they both have conversations online when he was testing how the Bitcoin Network works never knew him directly rather everything he guessed the things he knew about him, like being a Japanese from the way he (Satoshi) wrote, here is Bitcoin story of Hal Finney Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney) |

Normally If person fit catch better meme/shitcoins invest on the profit go High end this one don make plenty investors invest in many different of these coins and token but in the end them dey collect little or nothing from them since all these coins dey raise quick and fall quick, even if you HODL them, hope nor really dey say them go pump that high again but Bitcoin dey different and with the picture below you go see why HODLing bitcoin better pass all of them  Base on that Chart from coingecko, bitcoin don raise against our naira with about %700+ but na all these kind reason dey make people dey invest in shitcoin way go later cor be like say na gamble them dey gamble with their money last last. Who HODL Freecoin, Wakanda Inu, Safemoon and the other popular shitcoin of 2021 and 2022 nor get hope to get their money back but those way HODL bitcoin that same get hope say with time they go get profit. My advice say we dey bull now but after halving the main bull go come but na so meme coins go full everywhere their price go fly up and down but in the end, E nor go tel their hype go die and na so them tel dey comot but Bitcoin go dey and so instead to dey put money for these meme coins just put all for bitcoin. |

In general, in ALTT there is a system similar to a court, where 4-6 members are elected and take action. If it is necessary to make adjustments to the merit system, I suggest creating a similar idea, but frankly, I do not have an ideal idea.
To be Frank I don't really think this will work well, it's similar to DT but with time I think it will even fail more than DT. Altcoinstalk is still under development and I don't think when it comes to this Btt needs to adopt any of their systems, though Altcoinstalk was created to be less strict but now that been use against them, in just a month plus after mixers moved to them, the admin have already been facing the abuse of the karma systems. I stand with NO on the addition of demerit system, if we're already being stress because of the abuse of merit and DT, the demerit will only makes things and frankly Theymos definitely would have thought about this before but he knows it won't solve any problem here instead causing more problem. After all we know he does not bother about how anyone here view him, rather he cares about the betterment of the forum and once he sees a feasible way of solving this problem he will implement it, just like how he banned mixers though we all hated it but we have come to accept it since we understand his reasons. Sometimes I think there is no need for all these especially when we have such threads like this, Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk IV (2024 Q1) [MODERATED] 🤨🔬, AI Spam Report Reference Thread and others have been more helpful than anything in bringing order on the forum. Though I support nutildah idea, on getting the payment of any bounty cheater caught since even negative tags doesn't stop them from cheating this would be better, since everyone knows that having such related tags has already put anyone having it in edge of never being accepted in a campaign but I guess it will all depend on if the member desires to take the cheaters |

this week way just past so
(Monday ,12, Feb,24)~(Saturday,17, Feb,24)
Na really big week for BITCOIN, because BITCOIN gain about 9.2% increment. This one na really good sign way BITCOIN done show us so , as most of the investors and retail traders done put eye for am like this because of the way e take move from 47978.05 to 52395.42 within this relatively short time.
First of all the way the week take start I no expect this type of strong bullish move because we enter this week with a market way dey consolidated around the 48594.35 and the 47651.65 zone way continue for almost the whole (Monday , 12 Feb , 24) until In the evening we come experience one huge price Spike way come open the way for further rise, after this Spike way I dey talk so , the price come later come back to the price way e originate, that is on (Tuesday 13 , Feb , 24) then buyers way been they wait to buy for the market come pick up the orders , na so price come take rise through out (Tuesday 13 , Feb , 24) and ( Wednesday, 14, Feb, 24) on reaching (Thursday 15 , Feb , 24 ) price come start to consolidate around the 51185.48 and 52757.83 zone way done continue till now (Saturday ,17 , Feb ,24)
so at this point make we continue to look at how the next week go be.
I was expecting bitcoin price to clock 50k earlier in January but that didn't happen, I guess its usually when you don't expect bitcoin turn up more but at least we all knew it would be bullish, so those who continue to stack up more will be smiling and Thanking God. Now that the ETF has already been accepted, I think bitcoin will get to a new ATH before halving maybe around March before most will then sell some of bitcoin because of halving and some people expecting a huge sale from top investors just like some do during halving but still yet bitcoin likely get to a new ATH because I think most will continue to HODL till this happens Boss you really dey on point, as you take talk am na so e done be oo, few days to March, BTC done rise well well already oo, e just dey interesting to me say this crypto maket as e be so just dey unpredictable , you fit think one thing , na another thing dey happen, just imagine before the halving nine we dey see this kind move. aby is not entirely predictable but we're still hoping for a new ATH before halving and after that, up up and awy  +1 merit for you to make this thread more lively again also to motivate you to work better in your post structure, here are some helpful guides : Useful information for Nigerian newbies[GUIDE] Bitcointalk forum etiquette |

Irrespective of the fact that some of us are beneficiaries of this increase in dollar over naira, due to the fact that we have most of our assets in Bitcoin and other crypto like USDT, I'm still not satisfied with the dollar increase over the Naira because we have lots of individual who are suffering from this rapid increase, even our very close relations are going through a lot this period due to the hike in price of everything in the market. The percentage of persons not into crypto or those not earning in dollar are much higher than those who are into crypto, so lets pray things get better than this.
People wey dey earn in foreign currencies no really benefit like dat becus indirectly you go cough out all di money back. As dollar dey increase naso things for market dey increase. Make I use this example explain, 2 weeks ago I buy Romoss powerbank for jumia for 73k, afta 4 days di price come increase to 81k, yesterday wen I check again di price don enta 97k. The only thing be say e still beta pass person wey dey earn in naira becus as dollar dey rise and things dey increase for market, your naira go dey reduce in value.  This is the only thing better and helpful against our dying economy, earlier bitcoin investors in Nigeria are smiling bitcoin, Other fiat currency are depreciating and while naira is being manipulated and dying, bitcoin investment is better than other for us all because either in the good or bad economy, we're going to be richer |

 Come on BTCaby give that new ATH before halving ETFs are going to start having a real tough time acquiring the BTC they need. I can only imagine the scramble to find sellers that fund managers are going to engage in tomorrow.
Guess we call ETFs and CEX Sats scrapper now lol. every time I check the price it's 1k higher. But I have the feeling this is just the beginning ...
You are probably correct. Soon tm, $1k is going to become the new $100. Just like $100 became the new $10. And so forth and so forth. With the high rate of inflation, no other investment has given any better comfort than bitcoin to us in Nigeria. Earlier investors are smiling big 1 BTC = ₦87,174,623 Soon to them, ₦100000 will be the new ₦10000 |

EFL Cup final match Chelsea vs Liverpool
Current standings in Premier League left many points from the top position, seems Chelsea have been over for winning premier league this season and EFL Cup is the realistic trophy for Chelsea.
Few hours later will face Liverpool is the top primer league standings awhile and seems difficult to predict with Chelsea has more motivate for winning the last opportunity with trophy this season and other side Liverpool on the top position won't losses their chance with EFL Cup trophy although its not really excited trophy for top team. If Chelsea is able to win the EFL Cup, this will be the first trophy for Pochettino in the first season, even though in the domestic league it is a little difficult for Chelsea to be in the big four this season.
Who will be the winner of EFL Cup between Chelsea or Liverpool? pick your prediction and which team has strong possibilities for winning EFL Cup.
Chelsea have no hope of winning the Premier League title this season considering their points, while Liverpool have hope of winning the Premier League title as they are the team topping the League right now. Chelsea management will be happy if Pochettino and Chelsea players can be able to win this trophy because Chelsea Management have spent a lot of money on signing players, if they win the EFL cup, Pochentino will have more hope on his future at Chelsea because he is yet to be stabled and his performance is not yet appreciable. With the team both of them displayed, it is a fair team formation and anyone can win the match. Liverpool have a lot of injured players which might affect them today and even in the Premier League, ss Chelsea have advantage to win the game same as Liverpool. I think Chelsea will win this match though they have lost like 5 finals against Liverpool in recent years now but I think today will be different else Poch will get more heat from the fans and management. Liverpool has been doing excellently well even with their injuries struggles while Chelsea still faces injuries woes but because of their squad depth, we can say Chelsea have higher advantage especially now that There have been consistently in both defence and midfield in recent matches. Both teams has been playing well though Chelsea has been possessing but Liverpool are getting back after making a substitution were Gomez came in for Gravenberch while Chelsea have a goal from Sterling ruled out by offside, Gakpo header hits the woodwork |

-Snip- leonair, already shown this, but base on the security log my plausible guess is : The Icefrag account was hacked or bought for the purpose of selling smerits or to be resold, which now has been use to sell smerits since the password changed occur earlier last year before going to sleep and now woke up again. I Think is the reason the Icefrag account didn't try to get into campaign or become active at least since last year. Though also the account might be connected and is being used to make those members of this forum altcoin discussions who are still naive to think that the project is legit since Icefrag who is an hero member is still supporting the project. In the end they are trying to control naive people to invest in their scam project |

So all you got to do is to increase your emergency funds percentage to be able to keep up with your expenses, so that you won't endup running to withdraw your investment. Because it can't be tempting most time to withdraw your investment just to cover some expenses mostly when it come to desperate measure. So is better to increase emergency funds than to keep on running to your investment, so that you can be able to secure a nice and healthy investing during your accumulation of bitcoin.
Op God bless you for this, I was actually thinking of making a post about this since we were having alot of post about investing in Bitcoin with few post about this in our local board. In order not to be pushed to the wall of having no choice than selling your bitcoin investment especially when the buying price is lower than the selling price. I know majority of us here use DCA strategies in accumulating our bitcoin but we have to be cautious that we keep a reasonable amount of money as emergency funds to avoid ever being tempted to sell our investment because bitcoin investment are met to be HODL till it yield the ROI that we aim, that is what those who have inspired us to invest in bitcoin did and are still doing, even no matter the dip in price Here is a scenario were having a low emergency funds is bad, imagine after using majority of your funds to invest in bitcoin and now the price dip though we know already all we have to do is HODL since we know it will move higher with time and so the best thing to do after the dip would have been buying the dip even with an increase funds which may likely would have come from the emergency funds since we may not be able to cut expenses from our upkeep money while sometimes at that point in time you may really be in need for money and then sell your bitcoin at a lost. But since our naira is depreciating I would advise keeping our emergency funds in USD, EURO or any fiat currency doing well against naira |

These apps were created in such a way that Google play store wasn't able to identify, if it was actually malicious but after this issue was reported, the app's have been deleted from play store but still yet thousands of users have installed it earlier.
Google Play Store malware detecting algorithms are outdated and hackers know about that. That's why they have been able to add the malicious code easily without much problems. I think Google should improve their algorithms so in future all such applications with malware should be detected during the submission time. That way users can be safe from all such malware, in fact it's better to download only applications of the reputed vendors. Majority of Android users don't know this, their belief is If it is in play store or if it recommended by Google it is safe but we know this is definitely far from it. I'm using Android but I haven't experienced some malware and spyware yet with my phone I always keep updating the security update on Samsung to make sure I have the most up-to-date data from the server and have Kaspersky antivirus.
If you are randomly downloading some apps on your phone you can be also one to fall to this trojan malware.
So people should be careful in installing any apps if they use their phone with some banking apps or crypto wallets only use them for that purpose if you are going to install other apps not related to financial(Bank or crypto) use other phones to avoid such malware.
If you read this : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/anatsa-android-malware-downloaded-150-000-times-via-google-playYou will see Samsung is not an exception but I believe what have been keeping free from all these are the security measures you practice because when it comes to privacy and security we ought to responsibly cautious and not put our trust solely on any services. Some things to note about this - Not all apps from trusted sources are good, because this is actually not the first time such Malicious apps have been found on Google and since hackers are creative and innovative they will always find ways to exploit any services with different schemes and so we have to be cautious.
It is good that Google identified these malicious apps and brought them down. Let me add that it is better to download apps from the original website of the developer it might help reduce the chances of downloading these malicious apps. This was discovered by ThreatFabric researchers and this is not the first time an Anatsa banking Trojan has been found on playstore. Don't forget that Original website may redirect individuals to playstore but the main thing here is downloading a credible app for any services since there are many apps offering same services and some are malicious. In the end is just you rightly separating the sheeps from the Wolves . Phone Cleaner - File Explorer (com.volabs.androidcleaner)
Phone Cleaner: File Explorer (com.appiclouds.phonecleaner)
Do people really download these? AFAIK, most android phones have their built in cleaners and there's no need to download one. There's also the defragmentation which is enough to adjust and prolly clean some from the storage. I do understand if people are downloading pdf readers and viewers but the manufacturers should start to have them built in or most of them probably have because I can read PDF files without having the need to download these apps. It's what people need to do, explore their own smartphones without having the need to download anything since the feature they need was already built in on their phones. These two apps might be installed by those who usually have that feeling that something is eating up their storage and they may be thinking this app may be helpful to them, while though most of newer Android phones comes with this apps default but not everyone may like the UI or UX of such apps in the device and so will try to download app offering such service. Out of those 150k times, most of them probably 70-80k are downloaded via their own google accounts using Bot scripts. They are also used to provide fake ratings to the app, also making it appear in some search suggestions due to the bot views/likes. Sad for those who already fell for such a scam. I mean it might be possible to catch these scammers, a company like Google can.
Bot scripts are now so common for every hackers and scammers to use than paying others for download and ratings. Yes it maybe possible for Google though but I doubt they see it as an issue since this is not the first time such malware is found in playstore. Here are references Of previous Anatsa banking Trojan including the previous one with Google https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/details/apk.anatsa |

Anatsa is a banking Trojan malware which has the ability to steal banking credentials, log keystrokes and steal sensitive data from victims devices. It acts like a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and gives the attacker the leverage to remotely control the malware in that device to carry out other attacks. The Anatsa malware has been targeting Android users mainly across Europe, through malware droppers (this is a small program that assist in installing malware on device) hosted on Google play store. Researchers at fraud detection company ThreatFabric noticed an increase of Anatsa activity since November, with at least 150,000 infections.
Each attack wave focuses on specific geographic regions and employs dropper apps crafted to reach the “Top New Free” categories on Google Play, lending them credibility and increasing the success rate. The five malicious apps are: Phone Cleaner - File Explorer (com.volabs.androidcleaner) PDF Viewer - File Explorer (com.xolab.fileexplorer) PDF Reader - Viewer & Editor (com.jumbodub.fileexplorerpdfviewer) Phone Cleaner: File Explorer (com.appiclouds.phonecleaner) PDF Reader: File Manager (com.tragisoap.fileandpdfmanager) These apps were created in such a way that Google play store wasn't able to identify, if it was actually malicious but after this issue was reported, the app's have been deleted from play store but still yet thousands of users have installed it earlier. Some things to note about this - Not all apps from trusted sources are good, because this is actually not the first time such Malicious apps have been found on Google and since hackers are creative and innovative they will always find ways to exploit any services with different schemes and so we have to be cautious.
- Check reviews and ratings before installing any application
- Be highly cautious of the kind of permission control you give to any application once they are installed or updated

The government have been benefitting from the naira devaluation and acting hypocritical blaming p2p exchanges and the BDC, as if majority of us cannot discern right and wrong now. Good thing that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) are not acting weak this time until their needs are met, though the government paid 2 out of 3 months palliatives remaining in the palliatives they promised them earlier this week but that has not stopped them to continue with the strike, which as it stands is inevitable since most of their needs especially the minimum wage has not been met https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.channelstv.com/2024/02/22/unilateral-decision-tuc-faults-nlcs-planned-strike/amp/ |

“The EFCC and the CBN should move against these platforms trying to manipulate our national currency to Ground Zero. Crypto should be banned in our country or else this bleeding of our currency will continue unabated.”
This is over dramatic after lifting CBN banned in crypto in January, now the president aide is speaking of banning crypto again(though I don't really know the extent of this ban). While this has never been the reason for the devaluation of naira since the price of naira to usdt in Binance has always been different in comparison with CBN rate for years now which was before his tenure and nobody has ever blame this anytime naira lost its value to dollar. There can only fool a few Nigerian with this their nonsense claims while they know the actual step to take in order to make things better but sadly they won't since they are highly benefiting from the naira devaluation. Anyway no matter what cryptocurrency adoption rate will continue to grow significantly in Nigeria. |
