Reps begin Twitter ban probe today

The House of Representatives’ Committees on Communications; Justice; Information and Culture; and National Security and Intelligence are to hold their inaugural investigative hearing on Tuesday (today) after the expiration of the 10-day deadline given by the leadership of the House to investigate the ban placed on Twitter by the Federal Government.

Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, on June 8, 2021, said the leadership of the House had resolved to intervene in the decision that had pitched Nigerian Twitter users against the government. The leadership had mandated the committees to carry out an investigation, including inviting Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to explain the rationale behind the ban and the legality of the action. The panel was asked to report back within 10 days.

The PUNCH had reported on Monday that the joint committee had yet to act on the directive. However, the committee on Monday invited journalists to its investigative hearing scheduled for 10am on Tuesday.

Just try to remember very well if you have used the email before on any website that can lead to phishing attempt. I have never heard about this before, but the best you can do now is to deactivate the email which you know its login details has been exposed another person. Likely you have used the email on some sites before that can lead to phishing, and hackers were able to access the details for login later. This should not pose a concern anymore after you have deactivated it. We really need to be mindful of the site we are filling in emails.

bitcoin core or electrum can be run as a daemon... Then you can use the json-rpc interface to create, sign and broadcast transactions.

I'm not saying this is an easy procedure, you'll need to run a daemon, write a payment script and schedule it to run daily... And i'd defenately urge you to test on the testnet first
Which means normally, no reputed wallet known can do that without setting up a script.

A neutral tag can be perfect or not?
I too will not advice the tagging of account due to this, tagging should be as a result of scam or an account planing to scam through posting of scam attempt contents, but this is not the case. This is even still better, I have seen on one Hhampuz signature campaign before when a user that had only 1 merit in the last 120 days inputed 1o (one and letter o), but I know Hhampuz will know about this and will not take the users. Such people can be on someone's blacklist which is perfect enough, if you can not tolerate that at all, you can as well ignor the user.

You were awarded 50 merits, not 100. Congratulations! Surely one day you will be a hero member, certainly. Probably, this year.  I hope the thread will still be opened for others to participate, as indicated by the OP in the next 30 days?

Even after you recover that wallet and disable 2FA, it will still be a 2-of-3 multisig wallet. You will pay more in transaction fees because you require 2 signatures to move your funds if you keep using it. Create a new standard wallet instead and move all your coins there. 
You are right, only 2 signatures are needed for signing on 2-of-3 multisig wallet, but three public keys will count for transaction fee, not the number of signers are counting for transaction fee but the numbers of keys generated for the multisig wallet, which means the total (3) public keys will count for fee while only 2 for signing.

when OP can restore from seed and disabled 2fa, no additional fee is needed, the fee back to normal (mining fee only).
This is not the fee deducted by TrustedCoin, yes the fee deduction by TrustedCoin will be disabled. But the fee duducted will be high which is also normal transaction (miner's) fee needed for 2-of-3 multisig transaction which is higher than transaction fee on wallets with one master key.

If the computer is offline, then the attacker would have to compromise your system's RNG. There is no other method to steal your money, if we assume that it'll remain offline forever. (or that it'll be formatted right after the generation)
I couldn't agree more, proper dealing with and holding of Bitcoin safely and securely comes with security etiquette, bitcoin safely wallet generation and usage also comes with security etiquette, airgapped device totally free of malware like newly installed Ubuntu which acertain no malware with no external connection irrespective of throwing dice for entropy generation or generating it or seed phrase using tools like Iancoleman. Just my opinion to total safety.
6329  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lost phone & Google Authnetication on: June 20, 2021, 11:15:16 PM
Your post contradicts the instructions you quoted.  I don't know what you mean by "backup code" but I'm assuming you're talking about the seed phrase.
No, I meant 2fa backup. I posted a link up there for more clarity which GoldenMonk24 can follow as mentioned, did you check the link? If not, try to check the link, the whole guide for the recovery is what the link is all about and nothing more.

And I also don't know what you're talking about when you say "in control of two private keys," but again I'm going to assume you mean seed phrases
I meant the 2fa wallet is 2-of-3 multisig, 3 keys are generated, while 2 are necessary for signing. If the TrustedCoin key signing is not accessible as the 2fa app is lost and no backup, the wallet can still be restored using seed phrase and transactions can still be made as the wallet owner's wallet controls 2 keys.

TrustedCoin doesn't provide a second seed phrase, that would defeat the purpose of having them issue the second signature in the first place.
This is the link I included above:
Restoring your seed from two factor authentication Electrum wallet

Nothing like two seed phrase, but the wallet is 2-of-3 multisig which is still the reason the wallet owner can still be able to have access to his funds as his wallet controls 2 of the keys.

E get whitie way yarn say, Nigerians no fit get local board via say, na the English wedey yarn. So, I no just know how e wan be via say, the criteria cef, we no sure.
First of, no be Theymos talk ham, no be admin wey talk ham, not be any Bitcointalk.org staff wey talk ham, na just a member wey talk ham. I never tay for this forum, but I know some occurrences. The first issue wey we get na because say na Africa board we wanted, but later we make a conclusion underneath say make we change ham to Nigeria as per say na we Nigerians dey here. Later I remembered the day I made a suggestion with Brainboss say make we even change the language to Pidgin, but I thought that no go mean say at least some of our posts no go be for English until I dey see ham recently when people wan dey attack English posters.

We proposed for local board, I know the legendary guy wey talk ham say na English we dey speak, that Pidgin go help, but na just a member (although highly ranked, my respect) wey talk ham, no be admin, no be staff. I still dey maintain my stance on this 'that na activities' we need, we fit dey communicate in any language we want. If we dey communicate for Pidgin and no English, it can result to some setback for us later. I gave all my valid reasons which I believe would help us in the long run. If no reasons dey, that go be different case.

Make we no even get the mind set say we want local board, let us just dey post and be helping one another for here, if we go get local board, not should be what we go dey haste about. Let us just be real and contribute good posts here, and most especially, helping one another here with quality posts. I have seen many valid reasonable questions that fit here but on Telegram group, we need to change our orientation, that is why this thread is existing, to ask quality/genuine questions and to contribute quality posts. If I no go lie you, Bitcointalk is even my social media, I like it here than any other place.

Make we give BTC more time and everything go stew before the end of the year.
I think so too, that is just bitcoin, bull and bear market. What I am just thinking is that the highest price may not be more than $60000 (I mean less than $60000) again until next halving but the dip may still be less than $30000.

Assuming Alice and Bob wants to make use of lightning network, Bod is the owner of one coffee shop, Alice is the customer. Both of them will have to open a channel, the channel is just a 2-of-2 multisig, which means both of them will have the knowledge the transfer of any particular amount they both agreed upon.

If they both agree to put 0.005 btc each on the channel

Alice: 0.005 btc
Bod: 0.005 btc

That means they both have 0.005 btc + 0.005 btc = 0.01 btc on the channel. Assuming Alice went to Bob's shop for coffee and he or she paid 0.0001 btc, the money will be deducted from Alice btc to Bob Btc on the channel. Which means Alice will have 0.0049 btc as 0.0001 btc is transferred by her on the channel while Bob will have 0.0051 btc for the coffee Alice paid for and so on until anyone of them closes the channel.

You can try use Electrum wallet and use very low amount of Bitcoin with your friend to understand this better using this guide.

@carlton bank
wait this applies to the sender too?
Go and read the links above, irrespective of the sender or the receiver, both parties have an opened channel.

Note that on-chain miners fee will be demanded for while opening and closing a channel, but you can open and close channel when fee is low. Lightning network fee is very low after you have opened a channel already.
6332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: lightning network on: June 20, 2021, 07:40:47 PM
Like on Electrum wallet, if you want to open a channel, you will be warned how lightning on Electrum is experimental, which is the reason of the advice not to put large amount of bitcoin on lightning channels. So, making use of it with just little amount of Bitcoin is better, even on any other wallet because the lightning network is still in its experimental stage till now. You will need to learn more about lightning network, you can read these guides:

A Beginner's guideline to Bitcoin Lightning Network
The Lightning Network FAQ
Electrum Lightning Network walkthrough

Lightning network will be good to pay on stores and places you visit often in which you trust the owner of the store and places and allows you to open a channel with them. You buy what you want to buy like coffee, and you will pay right at the moment even before leaving the coffee shop, I do not think this should be a problem. And you can decide to close your channel anytime you want in which your Bitcoin will be transferred into your on-chain wallet address and be stored on blockchain.

Twitter ban: FG, Lai Mohammed sued over directive to broadcasters

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has filed a lawsuit asking the Federal High Court in Abuja “to stop the Federal Government and the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Muhammed from using their patently unlawful directive to all TV and radio stations not to use Twitter, and to delete their accounts as a pretext to harass, intimidate, suspend or impose criminal punishment on journalists and broadcast stations simply for using social media platforms.”

This is in reaction to the order by the National Broadcasting Commission asking TV and radio stations to “suspend the patronage of Twitter immediately” after the social media giant was banned in the country for deleting tweets of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

December not feasible for CBN digital currency launch – Experts

The CBN made an announcement recently about the launch of digital Naira before the end of this year, but economist and the Chairman, Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Abuja Branch, Prof. Uche Uwaleke, told our correspondent  that the level of the country’s economic development among other financial concerns makes the launch of a CBN digital currency before the end of the year unfeasible.

Waiting you people think about this? If you read the news in details, there are good points how CBN can not be able to launch digital naira in haste. Even digital Yuan has been a long term project now while also USA has declared their move to launch digital Dollar long time ago last year IIRC. Me too dey think why the rush, I think CBN do not have to be in rush to launch digital Naira. Waiting you people think about this?

Note: keeping your 2fa wallet and Google auth on the same device defeats the purpose of 2 factor authentication in first place. You must keep them on different devices.
In your case, anyone how finds your phone will be able to steal your money.
Google authenticator is not password nor pin protected, if the phone can be accessed and the phone pin or password is known to an attacker, the attacker do not need any password or pin to know the codes the Google 2fa will be revealing. This is a risk to many while havong the 2fa app on the device the wallet is which is risky and not safe at all.

I will advice people to make use of Aegis or andOTP which are password or pin protected, before accessing the codes, password or pin has to be used to get through to reveal the counter based or time based codes. But yet malware like Trojan horse is capable of knowing the codes as attackers can use such malware to monitor someone's device activities, this can be used to know all sensitive information needed to get through to steal Bitcoin on the 2fa-enabled wallet.

As long as you have your seed phrase (and passphrase if included) or private key to your address, you are good to be using the address for transactions just like using it for signature campaigns on this forums. But, for privacy reasons, it is not good to make use of only one address, so that your whole funds should not be tracked to one address, but their are exceptional cases like using it for signature campaign on this forum in which you have no option, it has nothing to do with your security and the address will always remain valid as long as you have the seed phrase (and passphrase if included) or private key to the address.

Omoh the resistance is too strong for the past one month e never really cross that $40,000 mark I just dey remember same thing happened in 2016 when fluctuate e been dey between $600 and $800 the resistance was too strong too.

This is just an opportunity to accumulate and hodl because I believe say the bull run go happen again that kind sept and Nov this year...
Me being dey think of December to next year (2022) February the market can be bullish, especially the week immediately after new year begins. But all-time-high no go dey attainable, but the market may be bullish at the time according to my analyzes which makes me have such speculation. What still dey fear me is if the price of bitcoin will decrease below $30000 before the next bull market will begin.
6339  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria Local Board, All board discussion welcomed. {No Official Language} on: June 20, 2021, 10:57:01 AM
<...>
Yes, we have all agreed that any language in Nigeria can now fit into this thread. Also English can fit into this thread, I have ways I was posting it before, what is mostly related to Nigeria which can not fit to be on English boards are what I was posting in English here before I was attacked like what I was doing was wrong when I have my obvious genuine reasons. But now all has been clearly addressed which should not have gone far if we weren't mute about it before. To post here English contents is not the problem but we should not only focus on Pidgin is the matter, it will not be good if we see it the way posters here were seeing it before, we should focus on both. I did not just post in English if my posts are observed and I will like others to have this posting method as it will take us far.

Onto another mata, how una dey see the market, wetin una dey predict. Bitcoin don try many times to break out but e no dey sure for am. Una tink say we dey enta bear or make we just give btc small time more.
Imo, Bitcoin no dey go anywhere for now. Resistance dey $40000, support dey $30000. If e continue like this while no positive news, the price fit decrease pass $30000. All-time-high has been attained until next having in 2024. Just my take on this be that, but it can be otherwise.
