Interested in learning about Development & Technical

[Loyang]

I don't know if it will be the right decision to share this comment with everyone. But what I want to share is some ideas related to Development & Technical Discussion.

There are very few people in our local board who have knowledge about Development & Technical. There are many new people who have no idea about Development & Technical and when they want to learn something from Development & Technical Discussion, they are not able to understand it properly and they cannot gain knowledge. I am also among these people.

We have many big members in our Naija local board who have a lot of knowledge about Development & Technical. If all of them create a topic about Development & Technical in our Naija local board and if we can gain knowledge from that place, it will be very good for all of us and it will be very good for our Naija board. If everyone continues to work together, then very quickly each person will be able to gain knowledge and we may be able to reach the first place in the local board very soon.

You have done well in bringing such a discussion here, unless you are a total novice to the forum and how things works there, I mean the technical board. If you make any mistakes, you will be brutally punished with a tag, that is the main reason most guys here have stayed off that development and technical board.

Though I understand that any wrong knowledge shared their might be costly to anyone that utilized it, that's why they mostly warn against spam there, but on the other hand, practice makes perfect, if most folks here that have a little knowledge decides to engage in conversation there or make a post there, he will definitely be punished with a tag if he makes any mistakes in the process. So you see the reasons why most Nigerians avoid the technical board?

I believe that as Nigerian, our IQ are high, and we are a fast learner, but when you don't have that leverage of making mistakes and correcting your mistakes afterwards with being punished, growth in that department will be very difficult.

[Big Dirams]

We can't all have the same topic of interest, some people are interested in Trading while some are here for different reasons that's why you don't see everyone have that technical knowledge. To some it's proving difficult to understand even when they tried to learn about it.

I've seen some technical posts made on this LB but not many has knowledge about it so the engagement on the posts are usually few but it's really educative and easy to understand compared to the post on the main board. If you really want to learn about Bitcoin technically then I advise you spend more time on the Development and Technical board since only few technical posts are made here on this Local Board but you can start by reading and learning on your own then asking questions when you're having difficulty.

this is a good place we can all start

Normally their are Nigerians with technical knowledge, but not really broad just to an extent. Myself I have little knowledge on technical things. must times I see threads on the technical sessions which am pretty sure I can contribute to those threads, but I don't why because I see the technical sessions as a session fill with gangs.

Secondly why I didn't post on the the session even when I have knowledge of what they talking about is, because I Am not known to be a technical poster, and when ever a user who is not known to be a technical poster pump over there they assume the user came to farm merit, so because of that When ever I see threads which I know I can contribute something positive and useful to I don't.

Thirdly when you say something wrongly over there you will get tagged for spreading false and unuseful information immediately without a second chance which I don't think it's normal, because nobody is above mistake. So because of all this thing's I just mentioned I stay clear from those sessions.

Many of us are interested in gaining knowledge about technical discussions, but it is not very easy to achieve it. The main reason why we do not try to contribute to technical discussion boards is because of the use of tags against mistakes. It is normal to make mistakes while gaining knowledge, but I do not enter technical boards mainly because of the fear of a negative tag. Even I have very little knowledge about technical.

If we can take some steps in our local board where technical topics will be taught from the beginning. That board will not be mainly for discussing technical topics, but for learning. After learning, we can practice that knowledge in our local board. When we become tested and skilled in those topics, we can contribute to technical discussion boards. In Naija board, I apply for a sub board for technical discussions, where even after making mistakes, we will not expect any negative tags and we can correct the mistakes.

You are right bro, i will say that the technical and development board is the most sensitive part of the forum space and little mistake on that section are not taking or treated softening, and I believe that's the more reasons most members including me are staying off that area to avoid their account being tagged. Ordinaryly i would have loved to learn from that board at least to advanced and wilding my knowledge on that aspect but as we all know is not a place to go close to if you don't have a clue knowledge about things being discussed there.

However, just as the op suggested it would have been a welcome idea and also helpful to those with little or no knowledge on technical and development ideas assuming stuff like that was initiated on this our  naija local board for members to feel free and learn better.

[Agbamoni]

One of our merit sources encourages technical discussion in the local board. But there are very few people with that knowledge to actually put up a long dialogue if such a thread is created.

In addition, the local board so far is the safest place to make suggestions, share opinions, ask questions on technical and bitcoin development without any consequences. Only a few would understand what I mean.

I have not seen a question raised before about Technical discussion that have not been answered well in the local board. Our technical inclined guys are very good that we don’t even need to take the questions to the general board to answer. What you’re saying about teaching about technical aspect of bitcoin is not the way you think it, these is a very broad part of bitcoin that is better taught as a form of question and answer section here. What I mean to say is that, ask questions where you’re stocked and don’t understand, you’ll get replies to your answers. Creating new topics about technical discussions will only make the thread unattended to with only few replies, it’s more educative and learning wise when it comes as a question and answer thread from professionals who have idea more on the particular question asked.

[coinlary]

There are threads, a lot of them, but it seems anytime some are created, they get pushed down and out of the first page by other threads quickly because only a few people engage in such topics especially if there are no rewards to offer. The forum has the search feature, though, and you can use it to find some of these threads or just go through some of these members' post and topic histories. Creating another thread will obviously meet the same fate.

The technical boards are another source. You don't need to comment, but if you find anything you don't understand, you can always ask questions and  not just any questions. Scared ? Do it on LB, and some of  the non LB members  might join the thread if needed

Sources like the ones listed by @ BigDirams can guide you in learning, but you must be willing to do extensive research.

Btw, I hope this isn't about merit

Yes it’s true there are so many of members here who don’t have single idea about the Development & Technical. Because they knows that it’s very hard and that’s why they don’t bother themselves to learn abo, they prefer to be active in others boards; since lack of knowledge and understanding is what make some people their self into a problem when they come to visited the Technical Discussion.

Interesting in learning about Development and technical aspects is good, but nobody everyone have that much time to spend on it, because learning about the Technical aspects it deserve much attention’s.

[Mate2237]

Nice thread you created about development and technical related topic that you brought here but from my observation in the local board there are topics that are already related to development and technical issues on the board. The essence of the forum is for you to learn that is why there are different boards serving different purposes but as far as the Nigerian local Board is concerned there are nice topics that are there which are related to development and technical discussions.


You can't only wait for anyone to post on the local board about before learning about technical and development. Anyone interested in it should take the responsibility of learning and reading from other boards nobody should restrict himself only to the local board.

The more many are interested in the technical aspect of Bitcoin on our Lb, the more interactive it will be. Op in addition to these links quoted, here is a thread about video resources, it is dependent on what you prefer the most for learning:

Honestly Op you make me laugh. Just know say no be every user's go fit adapt to the technical aspect of bitcoin. Being an O.g or experienced users here not get expectation say u must know about bitcoin knowledge and e no go even mean flaws to the user.
Just know say say everyone know their boundary of utterance for the forum and the mile them dey to about their interests for bitcoin.
Lastly, the forum no get technical sub board to say na there we go dey preside bitcoin technicalities. So the best place to learn those technical skills for the forum na to visit and and learn from the forum general technical board.
E go help u network with more professionals since we get very less number of technical knowledge people for we love local board.

I understand his frustration, one thing about developing and technical discussion be say, as of recent posting wrong information alone fit result into tags for spreading false information. It might not be his intention for writing wrong information but because say he dy learn, he fit do one or two mistakes which over there them them don't listen to any justification you have to say later. So to learn local board is the best place you can get corrected and people no go bash you for mistakes.

The problem be say, no be everybody for here dy into technical but I dy see updates and thread here from some members wey dy do their best. There is was one thread about how to use Op_return with electrum wallet, that topic was written formally with plain English that people from there were using the thread as reference anytime a question is asked about OP_RETURN, this gave us alot of relevance and I go happy if we continue to they engage too, no be say them born anybody with this Bitcoin knowledge, na learn dem learn am.

Having a good technical knowledge is what will help any Nigerian stick out, outside the local board. We are far from realizing this, and the kind of topic thread created are full of repetitive uninteresting discussions. My advise for anyone that wants to learn technical side of Bitcoin, should visit the technical board, no need to contribute to the discussion as a newbie, if you don't understand, do your research outside the forum or ask question.

Development & Technical discussions can be intimidating, especially for newcomers. Most of the topics are written with advanced assumptions, so people who genuinely want to learn often feel lost or discouraged. You’re not alone in this—many members are in the same position but may not have the courage to say it out loud.
Your suggestion is a very good one. We truly have knowledgeable and experienced members in our local board, and if they can occasionally break down Development & Technical topics into simpler explanations and post them locally, it will go a long way. Even beginner-friendly threads, step-by-step explanations, or simplified summaries of complex ideas can help bridge the knowledge gap.
This kind of collaboration will not only help newbies grow but will also strengthen the overall quality of the Naija board. When more people understand technical discussions, participation improves, discussions become richer, and the board naturally gains more recognition.
