First off, you should've edited your little post for errors before posting (or after you posted it). Secondly, I don't believe your story of getting paid in Bitcoin where there's no other option of payment and you made it sound it's being foisted on you. Nah! Things don't work that way. There's always an understanding before that's done. If you wrote for merit's sakes, you can see it fell flat on its face. Next time, just be yourself and don't write to please anyone by making up stories.

You live in Nigeria, and got paid for your work in Bitcoin, why should we tell you if it's good for you or not?
What don't you understand specifically?
The only thing I see is that you are opening threads all over the forum that aren't really specific.
And yes, we still remember your blocked account.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61826863
I had to click the post you referenced and checked the account that was allegedly perm banned because of plagiarism. The writing styles of the former and later account is same, I mean the message tone and over familiarity with the forum members. You are indeed a detective.
But I really think that people who are banned do return to the forum in another account and continue their journey. If Op has done theirs in a dumb way, I believe the moderators may overlook it seeing that the OP is not only new to the forum but also new to the cryptocurrency industry. So, he/she is kinda clueless.
It's quite sad how I see foreigner fall for this lies by newbies account coming on the forum to tell lies then it look like the adopting of Bitcoin in Nigeria is improving meanwhile we're going backwards.
I don't really know the rate at which they fabricate post in other to convinced the reader.
I have also be mean to asked this question to op, how will a company offer to pay him with bitcoin for a contract knowing too well that bitcoin isn't that generally made as legal tender to used openly by companies to send out payments. But however, if op statement claims to be true then downloading a well known wallet will be more better, and should be familiarized with protecting his privacy. Such as Seed phrase and private keys.
Then lastly, if the company asked him to download a specific wallet or app for the payment to be sent op should know that he has been indirectly or directly scam because as long as bitcoin payment is concerned, whatever bitcoin address or exchange address sent to them should be able to allow them make payment to the address.

It's great if you can get paid with Bitcoin, you can convert it directly to a stablecoin when you get it or you can hold it as an investment.
But just as a suggestion that in this agreement you must use an escrow as a party that can secure your agreement. If your client says that they will pay after the job is done, you shouldn't have to accept that because it's too risky.
It's better if your client sends their payment to escrow and as soon as everything is done you can get your payment.
*But it seems that the majority of people here say that your case is not true. It is very funny. But even so my suggestion seems useful to others.

It's quite sad how I see foreigner fall for this lies by newbies account coming on the forum to tell lies then it look like the adopting of Bitcoin in Nigeria is improving meanwhile we're going backwards. I doubt if this user is even a contractor and if he wants to prove me wrong then he can send me a DM and I'll go verify his claims. The current Nigeria government is a cancer to the growth of the industry as it implemented laws that weren't friendly to Bitcoin. If someone more positive towards the currency was in power, we would had been more further than we're today in the adoption of Bitcoin in Nigeria.
At the moment, no company will give you a contract in Bitcoin as it's illegal to use officially in the country but hopefully all this will change when the next administration take over power since they have proved to be pro blockchain adoption. I thought this kind of lies where only meant for the Bitcoin discussion board since that's where we have people believing everything they see in regards to Bitcoin adoption in Nigeria. 99% of all the threads over there are false but you know what, Nigeria is very large country that I mightn't know what's going on in other states that isn't my resident so I just stay mute.

This is just another silly low quality post to gather attention and get activity.Is this the first contract you have handled?
What kind of contract were you awarded?
Where is your proof?
Who awarded you the contract because it definitely cannot come from any government agency?
@OP, I demand answers to this question.
If you can't give detailed convincing answers and proof, then it is a big fat lie.
Are they not having this opportunities?
Are they not working with people?
Are there not contractors that are getting contracts amongst ranked users?
Aren't established user enthusiast enough as them newbies?
Its that bad how these users continue to flood this forum with such generic thread and not know how to use the search button. Am no longer falling for this.
To be clear, you don't even need the search button on the forum to link back to existing related threads on the forum. What these guys need is simply a search on either of the search engine such as google. You'll get suggestions that are related to this forum, click and get your answers.
More so, i am yet to see someone with some follow up by means of giving results or reviews as per how them services are going. All advice given are almost aborted after the thread creation. The goodness is, people are now paying less attention to this sort of thread and when we find a genuine one, we too users of the forum would understand.

Mate that's a good idea that they will pay you bitcoin after all you did. And also as long as you know what Bitcoin is, how did it works then you can accept with that. But remember before you can get that amount you need to have a bitcoin wallet, to receive the amount that they will sent as a pay for your award. You can try some software wallets that suits to you Electrum, mycelium, Exodus and many more wallets .

This is obviously a rhetorical question, mate. It's like asking if it's good for one to be given drugs when they are sick. I don't see why you asked this here because you already know the answer.
Being paid with bitcoin is same as being paid with fiat if not even better. They are all currencies and equally methods of receiving payments. I'm sure you already know this so please get your act together.

In general, receiving payment in Bitcoin as a contractor can have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, Bitcoin payments can offer a higher level of security and faster processing times compared to traditional payment methods. But , it's important to remember that Bitcoin is volatile that can fluctuate in value in a short space of time. So it's advisable to make sure you have a good understanding of Bitcoin and how to securely store and use it before accepting payment in this form. is it good for a contractor to be awarded a contact and be payed with Bitcoin .I was awarded a contact and to be payed with Bitcoin I don't have any idea about it i need a help from these foroom please?
Are You Afraid To Take Bitcoin Payments No Reason To Be Afraid Bitcoin Is The Most Reliant Coin Within Current Crypto Currency. You can safely accept this coin but one thing that will increase from accepting payments can also be dumping. You're more likely to take pumping for granted these days.
Actually, currently payment with Bitcoin has become an alternative, especially for global payments. But the problem is that most people don't understand Bitcoin, so real Bitcoin education is very important. In your case, this is actually normal and not a problem. But the problem is when you don't understand Bitcoin and everything related to it, then this might be a little difficult for you. Because you also have to think about having your own personal wallet to accept Bitcoin then if you want fiat you have to understand how to sell the Bitcoin and withdraw it to your bank account. This may look normal for some people, but it will be complicated and risky for people like you who don't understand, especially the risk of getting scammed or something else. . So in my opinion, if you want to accept Bitcoin as payment, you also have to learn about Bitcoin, wallet, how to receive, sell and withdraw it properly to your account to avoid all forms of fraud and loss.
Yes agreed, I think OP need some lesson first because he clearly is a newbie in bitcoin who don't know how to get paid in bitcoin. So before start taking payments in bitcoin first OP needs to know how to cashout your Bitcoin when you need fiat. How to create a bitcoin wallet and how to secure your wallet and operate the wallet. is it good for a contractor to be awarded a contact and be payed with Bitcoin .
It is great if your client want to pay you in bitcoin. It is a dream job for any member in this forum. So do not hesitate to take payment in bitcoin. Spend some time on how to make wallet, secure it, how to take payment and how to sell your coins.

First you have to have a bitcoin wallet after that you can pay using bitcoin. There are no binding disclaimers against people wanting to pay you in bitcoin, but if you live in a country where bitcoin is not legal as a means of payment, you will also have to sell it or convert it to fiat currency for everyday payment transactions. Although for now there are several online services that have accepted payments using bitcoins.I think it's a good idea to pay using bitcoin and you can convert enough for your daily needs and the rest you can use for investment. So the choice lies with the person who is willing to pay and most importantly you have a bitcoin wallet.
It's very good to be paid with bitcoin but it all depends on your country of residence if they permit payments using bitcoin or the project owner is allowed to pay you with bitcoin.
As a member here it's better you download a reputable wallet or since you are beginner you may use trustwallet to receive the payment if is that urgently for them to pay you before starting the contract then fine. Later you could look for the best wallet and moved all your funds back inside there to be well secured and protected.

Your message looks rather strange.
Firstly, if you don't know anything about bitcoin, then which wallet did you accept this cryptocurrency to?
Besides, how could you not know that you would be paid in this form? Now you need to think about how legal this action was. Depending on the country of your location.

If you are a Nigerian living and doing business in Nigeria, I can bet that no company will pay you in Bitcoin. If you disagree, send me the name of the company. I repeat, NO COMPANY IN Nigeria WILL PAY ANY CONTRACTOR IN BITCOIN.
It is not a personal project I guess. It sounds ridiculous that a country that ban Bitcoin transactions would close their eyes to this. Never.
Furthermore, if you actually need help, you should ask
- the awarding company to explain it better to you. Or better still ask them to pay you in Naira.
- Go on Google and ask your questions. Use
Stop making posts that make Nigerians appear dumb and stupid to other users.
You live in Nigeria, and got paid for your work in Bitcoin, why should we tell you if it's good for you or not?

He's been constantly spamming on the Nigeria board, and if he had a genuine question, I'm sure he'd have asked it on the local board or the person who brought him here, because I'm sure he didn't stumble upon the forum while digging for gold or oil. Someone must have directed him here just to fish merit, rank up, join signature company, and spam everywhere.
Someone who claims to know nothing about bitcoin will not accept payment in BTC, and no company in Nigeria is permitted to accept/send payment in BTC. The OP is simply casting hooks into the river and hoping it catches a fish..
And you are right about OP evading ban - self-acclaimed ban evasion confession.
I made a mistake posting something I was supposed to without putting the reference link but I think I have learnt from my mistake now and am ready to buckle up and learn from the vast knowledge about crypto that is present here in the forum.

I'm curious OP, if you don't know anything about Bitcoin how come you find your way to Bitcointalk Forum? Or does this person who wants to pay you in Bitcoin direct you to learn more about Bitcoin on this forum or you are the one that finds the forum? I think you are in no shape to accept Bitcoin right now, please ask him to pay you in Fiat currency for your sake, a newbie who knows nothing about Bitcoin and decide to accept Bitcoin as payment is like a child who picked up a venomous snake on the ground and decide to pet with snake. You can easily do something very wrong, which could cost you your entire Bitcoin, if you have an interest to know more about Bitcoin, try learning about it later when you are in no haste to accept Bitcoin as means of payment.
Well, for as long as the price is right, it doesn't matter whether the contract is to be settled in Bitcoin or fiat. Personally, though, I'd be happy if I'm paid in Bitcoin. But it is also possible that some wouldn't be happy about it especially if they're not familiar with Bitcoin. Also, payment in Bitcoin comes with additional responsibilities. And if you need to spend the money paid to you right away, then expect to do a few tasks in converting your Bitcoin into fiat.
I suggest that you familiarize yourself with Bitcoin first before accepting it as payment.
