I need information on data

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I'm about writing an article on blockchain development and its user base in Africa and I need some data information from forum to back it up withother information I'm gathering kit forum. I know the geographical location of users can be determined by their IP addresses so I'm requesting for number of registered bitcointalk account users from Africa both active and achieved. Can I get this information easily or do i need some kind of permit or something?

Without getting access to statistics directly from the database (which i kind of doubt that you'll get, since it would still be quite difficult to chain an IP to a certain country (certainly resource extensive?(?)), but who knows!), I don't think this is possible. (The only kind of stat dump that i know of is that of merit/trust?)

Your best bet would probably be to use;

- https://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.org#overview
- https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcointalk.org (Probably need premium to get better stats)

They may be wildy inaccurate though, and you'll probably only get % of countries, as opposed to more detailed statistics. (Still, i guess you could kind of convert those into numbers.).

I am willing to bet the horse that theymos won't be willing to give out such information.

What's the relation between the number of registered user in Bitcointalk with blockchain development in Africa? How can you filter which one register for blockchain development and for bounty hunting?

Anyway, if you still want to look at "how many people use/know/participate in blockchain/bitcoin related stuff", maybe there are other data source that you can use:
- Localbitcoins volume transactions in Africa.
- Number of registered African users in various exchanges.
- Number of blockchain/bitcoin/crypto related search from Africa.
- Number of blockchain/bitcoin/crypto company related in Africa.
- and so on.

Like I said I need it to back up other information I have gotten and still researching on more. I already have the localbitcoin stats and google search too. Before you create an account on bitcointalk you must have had some interest in blockchain related projects be it for bounty or learning about the technology. that's why I need the stats. there is a part of the article based on Africans in crypto related forums and I believe bitcointalk has to be the number place to look at. I know i can't get all Africans data so I'm interested in some selected nations like Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Kanye. I also plan on getting a premium account on Alexa as AdolfinWolf had earlier suggestions to get other stats based on % from other crypto related forums like steemit and some popular exchange too.

Maybe this is what you want and what you mean? if yes, I am right and if not, I am wrong?
Or you can see the one below it again.

No @YOSHIE although thanks for trying to help. I'm looking for stats on how many users past and present have registered on bitcointalk. I can get percentage of user actively visiting from elsewhere  but I believe BT is more user friendly as I can speak to admin of forum unlike other platforms that's why I'm asking if it'll be possible to get the stats for an article I'm writing.

If this won't be possible then I will just use the % from alexa
