I became curious for sometime now about dog racing as I have not seen it here or  anything relates to it here or if I am wrong you can correct me and direct me to the thread or casino that offers such betting option for gamblers.  I first saw this game in a movie where dog race was the major character or action of the movie and since then I picked interest in it but I barely see live games for it and casino i think do not have such option and if they do, they should indicate here so I can visit their casino for games. I think this aspect of gaming is overlooked and possibly an asset to casino if they give it a try.

My country people. I hail una and I also believe say we dey gidiba. I say make I bring this topic here sake of say e go dey beneficial to our newbies wey just join us here. I know say we don dey hear about scam and how e dey take dey happen wey be say you go just click link wey dem send you for phone as text message before you go know another thing don pop up and you click again another one don come before you know scammers don scam you or to steal your details from your phone or gadgets then come use am steal from your wallet or otherwise.
Make una see;
 

Na so I receive this message directly to my phone today. I come dey wonder why the scammer no use him number send me the link.  I come begin dey reason am say make I try see wetin dem send. I copy the link to another Separate browser wey no dey signed into my account come use incognito mode open am Na telegram community pop up wey dem say make I join in but something fishy happen as I clicked the link and another one open. Dem send a prompt  for me to allow external access to my applications wey no dey normal. Na there I just delete everything from my phone immediately so that I no go mistakenly go click the link unknown to me.

I drop this one here so that our newbies dem go see am as examples of wetin dem dey always hear here say make dem no dey click links wey dem send as text message to their phone. Not only text message to phone also email and chats sent to your social media accounts too. Avoid clicking them to be on the safe side.

The funny thing be say them go just write one better caption for the content of the message wey go entice you to click the link immediately and if you no get intro on their gimmicks, you go just fall mugu for them and dem go use the person shine.

To our newbies here, try avoid such text message if you receive any and you are very much sure you don't know the sender and you are not expecting any message of such nature. Delete it immediately.

For quite sometime now I have been curious about this picture as posted above. When ever there is any post online relating to Bitcoin and Satoshi, you see the picture next to the name or topic of discussion.  We all know based on what we have heard, that Satoshi Nakamoto is anonymous and till date nobody knows who the real Satoshi looks like or resemble. Quite a long time this image have been on air depicting the real Satoshi which I believe is not real. Possibly there must have been a reason why that picture was used to make reference to Satoshi Nakamoto and since then till now it's been used and I was wondering if the identity of that picture is still alive because he should have long surfaced to clear the doubt surrounding the use of his image whenever Bitcoin is mentioned. I believe if he should be this popular, then he must have made a statement or comment with respect to Bitcoin existence hence his image was taken to always be seen when ever the name Bitcoin is mentioned.

If you are opportuned to have come across any thing relating to the  above, maybe video or picture because this is the only picture I basically see too often about him.  Please do well to drop the link or the video here so we could see for ourselves as to get proper knowledge and understanding how this picture emanated and the person behind this identity used.

I pray there are members who could be able to give us insight of how this picture came about to be attached to the Satoshi identity.

This thought has made me start wanting to see our local banks as a cooperate and legal street business compared to the aza men dem. The banks are legal entities authorized by the government with issued license to operate and carry out financial transactions but it seems that they utilized the opportunities they got to  start a broad day robbery on account holders with their illegal debiting  of funds from accounts of Nigerians or if you may like their customers. They place unnecessary charges and in most cases, they debit twice without any reasons and fail to make refund. If one is not observant enough, they would keep doing that till the account holder notices that and lay a complaint then they would stop because they see that the customer is now aware of that act. Now look at the numbers of persons that such must have been happening to multiplied by the amount and days that debiting must have been happening. You would know that these banks are really sucking Nigerians of their funds and raking in billions everyday or is it the of charges for the sms alert,card maintenance fee, stamp duty, carbon fee coupled with the stress they make one to go through to reclaim their  funds if at all they would make refunds.

Make una no vex o. I use the word aza there for the topic unto say I believe we know wetin I mean by the cappings. I  no want make the other normal name wey dem dey call dem come dey bring many thoughts for other country men their head if dem come dey scroll to see topics for themselves unless dem open and read to really know and understand wetin I dey talk for those wey sabi our language but we know say na street things I dey yan about here like this.  
These aza men own na sake of say them dey do things anyhow dey dry people of their hard earned resources through illegal means compared to the banks. When dem do am, dem dey leave a kind of funny lifestyle wey be say dey attract eyes to them and dem dey make things dey hard for both their victims and other people for the society wey be say police go dey chook eye for young bobos dem too much and dem go spend money any how wey dem no go price market, dem go make things begin dey expensive coupled with the matter wey already dey for ground for we country.

Some of their act na through love scam, hack, forgery,extortion etc. All these na illegal means wey dem dey take collect money and at the end all result to breakdown and hardship of their victims in pain while bank own be say na legal entity wey dey intentionally carry out their acts as e be say dem dey licensed by the government to do financial transactions on their behalf but their act they result to customers being pained. Banks own be say dem dey pay salary, dey run maintenance for their facilities and gadgets, tax and lots more wey dey add value to the society and humanity at large but make we no forget say dem too dey collect from customers anyhow too while the aza men dem na hide hide lifestyle coupled with collection wey dem dey do any how from a specific client wey be their target.

My country people,looking at the above, wetin you think about this matter wey be say both mentioned categories dey do to their clients, the matter pure or na sake of say man go survive things?

I have come across many posts here where people in posts and replies say something about who they look up to on bitcointalk platform in the course of engagements with other members in thread conversations and arguments pertaining to a topic raised or area of concern and that has long been on my mind to start something of this nature whereby everyone member would be privileged to say something about their mentors here and maybe their mentor too can reply their post with a remark of how they see their mentee and how they have been following up with them and making sure they are successful and are creating impart on this platform.

I believe many people here were reffered to this platform by someone and in the course of going through posts and thread you saw someone's writing pattern which you like or maybe how creative a particular poster is and you decided to follow that person's step here onboard as your mentor. It is possible that everyone here has that particular person they always look up to to developing themselves here and it would be nice we have this opportunity to say something meaningful and remarkable about that person.

In other for there to be orderliness and coordination, I would state some steps and guidelines to achieving this here and they are as follows;

My country people. I greet una for this wonderful day.  I say make I drop this one here make we discuss am weda e day safe or not. This morning as I dey do my phone routine, I enter my browser too. I dey surprised to see say Opera Mini browser get wallet. E surprise me unto say I don dey use opera mini for a very long time I no notice am say that wallet dey there. Up till now I still dey wonder weda e dey safe for me to use or not, but in essence, I learnt something and what I learnt was that it is good to always Check for the features of anything around you or whatever you use because you just can't tell some major features and functions of it not until you do a further research on it or possibly a routine check to finding out some more features about it.

This is also applicable to human as well.  Going extra miles to discover your potentials  would keep you updated with your skills and energy as the case maybe. Nobody is dull or incapable. All Humans in one way or the other have some hidden potentials in them to discover and develop themselves. Just like I discovered Opera Mini app browser wallet today as I decided to do a routine check on the app browser, we can do same on ourselves to discover more hidden potentials in us.

Furthermore, I continued with finding more about the wallet and I noticed that the wallet features is quite different from other wallets I have used. Although you can generate wallet seed phrase and back it up. There is also test net futures on the wallet.

I believe most of us here are vast knowledgeable on wallets and it's safety that is why I brought it here because I was thinking of using the wallet but I remembered that my assets safety matters alot to me hence I decided to engage us in discussion here to know if it will be safe for using this wallet as I have not really seen opera mini do advert or anything of such to promote  the presence of their wallet on their app. Funny things happens these days so one needs be careful how they go about their assets when it comes to Safe keeping and choosing of wallets to store their assets.

I am open to learning and I stand to be corrected if there are any observations made. The floor is open for our discussions and view about the subject matter.

 I was going through one of the newspaper dailies  and I came across a particular one that caught my attention. So I was wondering who this guy is. He has 1300 mining servers which he earns ₦6500 from each on daily basis and a total of ₦15million ( currency calculations based on my local currency) daily when calculated together according to the source. He claimed to have started mining since 2017 and has accumulated mining servers to this extent  years past.

The location of this mining farm was not disclosed by the media possibly they do not have knowledge of it as I saw it was culled from his titok account  named ZAC.SAFRON. I was amazed to have seen this because not everyone can afford this. From my findings he has been on this for years before now and possibly, he started with just a few or one minner and gradually he started purchasing the rest of the others reaching today. This goes to show how commitment, consistency and focus could go a long way to keep your dreams come true.

I believe Bitcoin is legally approved in his country for him to have such a large Bitcoin mining farm fully powered with electric supply and also since he is making profit from it, then I believe he is also paying tax to the government of his country for running a Bitcoin mining farm together with the power supply he enjoys on daily basis to sustain the smooth running of the farm.

What is the possibility of  massive adoption of bitcoin in the world i.e countries that has law prohibiting bitcoin as a legal means of exchange in their various nations if World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and other World Financial Organisations decides to take in or consider Bitcoin as a legal means of exchange and making loan option for nation to accept bitcoin from them as a loan and source of exchange or legal tender in their various nations. I had to look at this because since these world financial bodies are giants in the finance industry and nations go to them to seek financial aid which happens that they already adopted bitcoin as a means of legal tender and deemed it fit to be considered as digital money which it already is. When nations go to them for financial aid and they tell them that they can give them bitcoin as loan, this would make the nations reconsider their stand in adopting bitcoin as a means of exchange for goods and services. As financial bodies they are, they have strong influence since they set out international monetary policies which these nations look up to for adoption and  implementation in their various nations.

As a world financial organization they are, they can make it more attractive for other nations in the sense that they would raise policies that can be able to accommodate other nations that are yet to implement and adopt bitcoin in their various countries so as to make them reconsider their stringent rules against bitcoin existence in their countries.

I was just being curious about this if it would attract a massive turn up for bitcoin adoption in those nations that have passed law  against the existence of bitcoin in their countries since the world financial bodies are possibly bitcoin friendly organisations and would want them to take bitcoin as loan option.

I thought of sharing this here to  further broaden my understanding and also to know the opinion of other members too but if you feel it is not inline with the stand of this thread or the platform in general, you can call my attention so as to make the necessary corrections or take the necessary steps to effect the observed corrections. I also welcome constructive criticism and observations as I am open to learning to know more.

I know what I am about to say might sound awkward to some of you but I would start by appealing that you bear with me as I am here to learn so I could gain more knowledge and insight of how things are going on here. Although I have been a member of this platform for long now but as we all know learning is a continues process and as time goes on  curiosity arises to clear ones doubt or misunderstanding.

For long now I have been on this thought and I was wondering what happens to merit and Smerit of banned accounts. Is there any way it is been extracted from those banned accounts for it to be integrated back into the system so that merit could go round through the merit source to members who deserves it or once an account is banned everything about that account is gone and merits on that account is burnt or is there any other process or things done with the merit of those accounts because I know once an account gets banned the owner does not have access again to some vital profile assets such as the Smerit.  I know for sure merits are formed possibly through minting or other likely processes which requires it to be easily integrated here for easy access by members.

looking at this when you access your merit status you could see it for yourself.



Does it mean that  the above is what exactly happens or otherwise.
The floor is open for discussion as I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. I look forward to seeing the admins and moderators comment on this so we could get knowledge of how the process goes. If also this board is not the right board for this post, you are free to channel me to the right board for it.

Thanks.

I been dey think say obi get strong supporters but today  wetin  happen shock me. There is this man who claims to be a strong supporter of obi , an igbo man for that matter  who has been shouting obedient disturbing our
neighborhood and environs for long now. He has been singing the praise of Obi talking and convincing people to vote for Obi but just today few hours to the general election he goofed. He is the type that talks too much and any how, just this evening I saw him coming with a half bag of rice 25kg to be precise and I asked him he did not say anything, he walked into his compound later on I overheard him telling someone in his compound he saw some people sharing rice in the market and people gathered and was collecting so he went there and he was asked to deposit his PVC to collect the rice he gave them and collected the rice after collecting it he demanded for his PVC and they told him he has already collected the rice and they would not give him back the PVC just few hours to presidential election. What a pity he sold his PVC already that means his voters card and votes throughout this election is gone and these are the people shouting obedient! Obedient!!
What a pity.
