RISK

When people talk about risk many quickly point to cryptocurrency and forex as the biggest risks anyone can take. However this mid-year August 2025 was a real eye opener. For example my wife invested a lot of time and money in beans this year but when the market crashed the losses were heavy. This shows that even physical investments can be just as risky if not more depending on the circumstances.

Re: This Ponzi scheme looks real?

The scammers that have the ponzi business convince their victims by telling them that they will earn 5% to 9% monthly in profit. This is different from those ones that are more in profit like 100% monthly.

But what I have known about business is that 9% can not be monthly but if it is annually, it is still good but after making enough research in this world that we are now that many people are scammers.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/vietnam-police-bust-billion-dollar-crypto-ponzi-ring-behind-paynet-coin-scam-report

The ponzi scheme masterminds have been arrested
I still cannot believe that some people still fall for Ponzi schemes. I know someone close to me who still invests in one. The scheme is clearly a scam. How can you transfer money to someone’s personal account call them to acknowledge the payment then give them your Ponzi scheme details so they can update your page? After that you will see the naira amount increasing day by day and they will tell you that is your profit just imagine.

Re: How to run Bitcoin core node with cheap Airtel smartbox unlimited internet plan
by
ahmedabubakarabbo
on 14/08/2025, 15:31:41 UTC
Table of Contents
  • Introduction
  • Airtel smart box
  • Node set up
  • Personal reviews on Airtel Smartbox and the unlimited internet plan



Introduction

I have always wanted to run Bitcoin node and have my node to support the Bitcoin network, wanted to see how personal node works and I decided to give Bitcoin core node a try but the initial block download required a huge internet to be able to downnload and verified all the blocks from genesis to the current block which can take a minimal of 600GB disk space and this has always been the problem of many, the internet subscription in Nigeria is very expensive, the cost is expensive and it doesn't last enough to be able to download anything you want.

Node initial block download needs at least 600GB, and data bundle plans are expensive, mtn yearly plan of 800GB is ₦125k, that's too expensive on the long term. I kepts looking for cheap way to get one until I came across reviews of airtel unlimited internet bundle. I decided to give it a try with just ₦35k I was able to run the node and it took me 6 days and 17 hours to finish download all the blocks and fully synced.

Airtel Smart box

After watching different reviews about Airtel unlimited data subscription on online, there were mixed reactions from different people, the good, the bad and the neutral but I decided to do it anyways. On the month of July, I walked into Airtel office in my state to get Airtel router, I was offered 2 different options, the 4G unlimited router and Airtel unlimited smart box but I was recommend the smart box since the battery last long when there is no light and has better stable network connection and it comes with 14 days free first use.  


The smart box is powered by androidtv that can be connected to a tv to use smart features, comes with a remote, a battery, Hdmi cable and Avi cable. I didn't see the need but it can be of help to some people as it has android apps like Netflix, Youtube and 4k display


Node set up
Bitcoin core node is very easy to set up but you need to have some requirements if you want you initial block download to be faster.

Requirement:
A good PC with: 8gb ram or more
                      : SSD capacity; you need big space if you are running full node but this tutorial is limited to prune node; with small SSD space, you can run prune Bitcoin core node.

- Go to https://bitcoin.org/en/download and download the latest version of Bitcoin core, you can verify the file using PGP signature
- Install the Bitcoin core and make a desktop shortcut
- Open the Bitcoin core and head down to settings, click on options. You should see "prune block storage to". By default you should see 2GB, you can change it to your choice, the block storage you want to keep; I used 5GB; you can as well change the "size of database cache" to 4000 or above and save.
I used '6000' which is equibalent to 6GB since I have 8GB of ram. I'm literally telling the Bitcore to use 6GB of ram during intial block download, it will speed up the download .
- You can also do this on Bitcoin configuration(Bitcoin.conf) and save but it's the same as the above:
Code:
prune=5000
dbcache=6000

- Note: anytime you change settings on your Bitcoin core, you need to restart your Bitcoin core before the settings will take effect.


When you restart your Bitcoin core, it will quickly download the block headers which will take some minutes before it will start to download the blocks, blocks takes time so you have to be patient. I used 6 days and some hours to fully sync my node and that's it.



My personal review on the Airtel unlimited

- Test your network area before you buy the smart box/router as some areas have very poor airtel network.
- Don't buy the router outside Airtel office, outside marketers do increase the price. I bought mine for just ₦35,000
- The internet plan isn't about Network generation, don't buy the 5G router if your home doesn't cover Airtel 5G. My area has very strong 4G that's why I bought the smart box and since it came with unlimited plan(20mbps), I was having between 17mbps and 19mbps speed.

- Each device comes with 14 days unlimited while 5G is 30 days but there is alot of complaints about the 5G device, I don't recommend it.
- The smartbox comes with inbuilt battery and can last you upto 7 hours or more but you can support it with a power bank that has 12V dc cable. I have another router device power bank I used support mine and it can last me until when there is power.

- After the 14 days free unlimited, the 20mbs plan goes for ₦30,000 while the 50mbs plan goes for ₦50k, the more you pay the more speed you are going to have but in my honesty, the 20mbs is what I have been using and I am downloading gygaytes of things I don't really need because I have a good Airtel network coverage area.


That is awesome Running your own Bitcoin Core node is a big step toward truly supporting the network and verifying transactions yourself. The initial block download is definitely the biggest hurdle both in storage and internet costs so finding a cheaper unlimited bundle like Airtel’s was a smart move. Six days and 17 hours for a full sync is pretty good considering the size of the blockchain. Now you have got a fully independent node, which means you’re not relying on anyone else’s version of the Bitcoin ledger. Respect for making it happen despite the high data costs in Nigeria.

Many people underestimate how easily their personal information can end up on the dark web, especially when using the same password across multiple platforms.
I agree with your advice on enabling Google Authenticator (2FA) and using separate emails and phone numbers for sensitive accounts. I’d also add that people should regularly check for data breaches on trusted platforms and never click suspicious links that could lead to phishing attempts.

Re: POSSIBLE RECOVERY AND PROOF OF UNAUTHORIZED CRYPTOCURRENCY TRANSFER
by
ahmedabubakarabbo
on 14/08/2025, 13:23:50 UTC
One of my bosses in the office has some cryptocurrency in his wallet. He does not know much about cryptocurrency especially how to manage a wallet. One day one of his neighbors was helping him with the wallet and without his knowledge the neighbor copied his wallet phrase. Yesterday he discovered that there was nothing left in his wallet because everything had been withdrawn.
Please is there any way we can retrieve the cryptocurrency or is there any way we can get proof that he is the one who really transferred it? We have the wallet address to which the cryptocurrency was transferred.


What happened to your boss is quite unfortunate that his neighbor used the opportunity of him not having a full knowledge on how cryptocurrency  works and that is why people keep saying that my people perish because of lack knowledge, i want you to understand that when it comes to cryptocurrency or any coins at all, it is always advisable that will should make sure that we have full knowledge before embarking into cryptocurrency, i want you understand what have been moved out from the wallet can never be reverse back, the only thing i can tribute on this that, if wallet is been protected by having password before he can assess the wallet and your boss is very sure that the password is only know by him, then your boss should hold his neighbor because cryptocurrency has no leg to move out the wallet.
He doesn’t really have the knowledge to that extent. In fact the neighbor was the one who told me that he should hide the phrase from someone which makes the whole situation suspicious.

   Jess that's really tuff, If your boss is the only one that has seen his seed phrase then how did the neighbours get their hands on it, For me I think that maybe your boss saved it on his phone and while your neighbours was helping your boss out, he copied it unknown to your boss .You might have the wallet address it was sent to, but the blockchain is anonymous it won't say who or whom the money was transferred to. My Best advice is to confront the neighbour.
 If your boss had knew he would have just done some online research about how to use a wallet rather than seeking help for a neighbour and one thing about cryptocurrency once it's gone, it's gone. If it was a traditional banking system, there would have been a chance to recover it but it's not we are talking about cryptocurrency .


Thank you for the advice. I truly appreciate your perspective on the situation.

He is certain that he is the only person who has seen his phrase.
The only thing now is that there is no proof to back it up.
OP In cryptocurrency, transactions are irreversible so there is basically no way to get the coins back.You can however make use of  blockchain explorer to see the address that received the funds and confirm the transaction, but that’s the only proof you can get of where the money went, not the identity of the person that took it
We already have the address.

Exposing your wallet secret phase is the easiest way to lose your crypto, this is mostly the job of crypto recovery services, but these days so many of them are scam and a complete waste of time.
But am curious, is the asset Bitcoin?
Because if it's Bitcoin, you have some hope of recovering your asset if it was transferred to an exchange, but if it's transfer to a none custodian wallet, then it's near impossible to even know who it is.
In a situation like this, you guys should be sure before making accusation, is that the only guy your boss has confide in?
Or he has shown any other person?
All this is one of the major reason you are advice to keep your secrets phase safe, because that's the key to your asset, once it lost or exposed, your asset are gone.
He is certain that he is the only person who has seen his phrase.
The only thing now is that there is no proof to back it up.

I really like the way you have opened this conversation because many people still see blockchain only as a tool for trading and investment while forgetting that it is a foundation for solving real life problems.
For me one dApp idea that could be powerful in Nigeria is a transparent government spending tracker where every budget and every contract awarded can be viewed by the public on the blockchain from start to finish so no one can hide or change the records this could help reduce corruption and improve accountability.
Another idea is a decentralised land registry where property ownership records are stored on the blockchain so no one can forge documents or illegally sell land it would also make it easier for people to verify ownership before buying property
