Topic: List of African Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency businesses / services - page 3. (Read 1283 times)

According to the Whois, the domain owner is located in Russia. So yes, may be a bit off topic here - I can add it, however, as an "extension" for Golix.

a bit offtop ... through this service you can withdraw USD from the stock exchange in Zimbabwe - http://golix-withdraw.com

Update:

Found the site http://bitcoinafrica.io with a pretty large list of companies. I added those to the list that have a working website. Unfortunately, some of them have unavailable websites (their list may be a bit older):

https://www.bitland.world/ - Ghana, land property registry based on the blockchain
http://www.dreambitcoinfoundation.org/ - Blockchain services and merchant solutions - Ghana
http://www.pmcedi.com/ - wallet/exchange for different digital currencies, Ghana
https://bitsoko.io/ - Mobile wallet provider - Kenya
http://www.umati.io/ - Blockchain advisory firm - Kenya (unknown vhost)
http://cubebucks.com/ - Mobile wallet service, South Africa

If you know the fate of one or more of these companies or possible new sites/alternatives, you can post here.

(PS: Bitland works, only that it is reported as insecure when accessed via HTTPS. Added it above.)

We had already a lot of theoretic discussions how Bitcoin could benefit the African countries. Now I am interested to create a list of already existing businesses and services that are operated from the African continent.

So I would be grateful for every hint, link, or name of African Bitcoin businesses. All African countries, also Maghreb countries and island states like Cape Verde, are allowed (except the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla). The business model should be intimately related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. Known Multilevel/pyramid schemes can also be listed, but in a separate section where the scam danger is clearly described, and without a "hot" link.

Possible scams:

Unproven - use only with extreme caution:

golix-withdrawDOTcom - Service for USD withdrawal from golix.io. Seems to be operated from Russia and using anonymizing services.
