Topic: No Electricity, No Bitcoin (Read 399 times)

Woman I get your point, because no area wey no get barbing saloons or pay charge center even the most tempted village go get get am, but if truly say barbing the areas way the OP dey no get one of this things, then make the OP just save small money then go buy small solar panels we go fit charge em phone
Some crypto newbie fit see some of this things like one big deals that's why them no dey go long way inside the crypto ways.
Although, solar panels done cost as e be say dollar hike done affect many things for this country.. but on a norms, that no supposed to be problem fir anyone way really won learn about Bitcoin, just like me https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61867355

As many have already stated many options are there in the table for you if really you want to carry out your activities, locate near hair cut or babbing saloon or computer office close to you who you have good rapour to always keep your electronic charge , buy power bank if you have that it take to buy solar, those small panel can carry your phone or laptop,if your gaget make your of removable battery buy extra to switch over when the first one runs down. This reminds me one of my man always stay in one Cyber CAF  for this power issue and pays them small thing every month. once you know what you want many way to tackle it is there until you surmount the challenge.

We all are in the same shoes. the epileptick power supply is alarming that it is really difficult for people to do most online stuff. But my advice for you is to go and get yourself a power bank. Sometimes I hardly come online due to this same epileptic power supply. Because of that I just bought a power bank. Which I give my brother to charge for me in his place of work. When he is back I use the stored energy in the night and give him the power bank to charge in the morning. That is how I have been able to bypass this process if not last week I never had a chance to make a single post do to light issues. So I believe you can also do so by buying power bank and charge in any bet shop after fully charged you can use it at home.

Its to be sure  OP even has money for the power bank like you're advising, this power issue is very challenging and even more now that fuel is very Expensive. I suggest OP should patronize  pay charge points. They're very common these days and are easily accessible.

You can also attach yourself to kind neighbors who do turn on their generators at night to boost your phone for the day's activities. You can gently start saving funds to get a good power bank when you've got enough. Don't get yourself worked up bro, there's always a solution where strong will lives.

Lol very funny, at first when I read the topic seeing the op complaining bitterly surprise me, pay charge point full everywhere or barber shop as you mentioned, #100 for paychrage so this no suppose be excuse, sometimes your phone go low but since you get important thing to do you go just dey stress yourself how you wan charge phone. Even this barber shop you mention many people phone don loss for shop but as you mention am no mean say person no suppose use him head.
Sometimes make we look better things complain and this na small issue to deal with quickly, if the person talk of buying solar and the expenses involved we go understand say solar don cost for real, no be charging of phone go border person.

Lack of electricity no suppose discourage you from engaging in the forum or other crypto hustle. If you no fit afford to get a generator, or use solar energy, powerbank dey for you. Just as garri don dey save the lives of many nigerians since 1950, naso power dey save people from the poor electricity supply. The good thing be say e no too cost, with shekini money you fit get 20,000 mah - 30,000 mah capacity power bank to take run your matter. No room for excuses except you be lazy person.

Bitcoin is not a  promising investment journey that should aspire you to engage of funds borrowing to establish your Bitcoin journey because Bitcoin has the volatility potentials that requires the investors exercises of Patient if you must meet up with the goals of making incomes.
So, I would say you should manage your resources economically to stay active online. Meanwhile, in a quite note, you can decide to change your location to where you could sustainably have the supply of electricity or alternative source of electric power.

Sorry for the poor state of electricity but can you  get a power bank? That has been saving men since the inception. You can do post, reply threads and read anything you want to do with your phone in the Forum, you can also create a wallet address and use a wallet without any issues.

With your phone, you can do anything you want in the Forum if you are really serious about it, make sure there is no procrastination, with good internet and that power bank, you are good to go.

No cap, naija necessities don dey turn to luxury, but make we no give ourselves excuses make we no dey do activities. Me mah sef don face these problems and many more weh dey always stop me from writing and others .. but one by one I go dey find the solution .

E fit be say you no get money for power bank, you fit dey charge for shops, barbing saloon. If no be place you de too go, you fit start conversation sit-down small for that place .. ( yes all the tactics  ). E get some of this places weh you go charge your phones for #50/ #100 and you go charge am full. If you get money for power bank, I go advise make you buy good one weh get long lasting battery power instead of buying plenty. If you want buy 2 or 3 make sure say at least one get very good battery. 

This light of a thing na wetin all of us for the forum the face but we go allow am to dull our posting or make us to post in a day. We keep on being updated we the latest information or development towards crypto and other social verses. 

You see, if you take this forum serious, light no go stop you to login for the forum in a day even if your area no get light for weeks or months. Naso you go find means no how to beat that by buying power bank for yourself or even stepping out from surrounding to a place you know sae generator or light d dey that side.

As I dey here so, I no fit reason sae, just because my area no get light, make I relax because of am for a day, not to post for the forum. I must be force to step out so that I go fit find how to charge my phone and power bank. If I refuse to do so, na myself I d do, not the forum.

In conclusion, wetin I wan reason you so, na to take the solution provider by our brothers and sisters to beat the  ''not having steady power supply for your area". We are all facing the same challenges and we are using it as an excuse of not doing our activities for the forum as you put am.

I no get any advice to give you for this matter pass make you go buy comfirm power bank wey fit carry more than two days, if you have power bank I swear you go forget electricity mata for Nigeria, but I wan ask you sef, before you post this post wey you do so, you no know say na Nigeria you dey? My brother in Nigeria you gast to use your head before dey use am chop beans, many people dey this forum wey dey no even get power bank and they are having chance to do their activities in the forum, if you see that you will not be comfortable with the way Nigeria light be you should go and buy power bank, that is the best way many people do now and I believe say if you buy power bank you go enjoy forum.

I aslo welcome you as member of the forum, because due to the way you introduce yourself na newbie you be, and as a newbie you suppose ask questions and things wey go make you dey comfortable for forum, so my brother nothing to give you than what I have said oo, na the best thing me I don tell you and I believe say na waiting many people go tell you be that because as fuel Don cost like this nobody go give you advise say make you go buy generator for this kind hard time, but if you get money you fit go buy generator because we get mind pass each other in terms of buying something.

Electricity na problem everywhere provided u dey Nigeria especially if you dey the rural areas, e go dey really difficult for you to get access to stable electricity but then alternative full ground if only you try to explore them, because this epileptic situation of power supply no look like somtin wey go end anytime soon as people in power dey benefit heavily from am so their greed no go allow them proffer solution.

If your mind really dey the hustle you go find way and all these no go be excuse for you, firstly move from your current location especially if u dey rural area move go the nearest urban area at least an average urban area in Nigeria dey get six hrs of light daily so if u no fit utilize am sorry it's on you. Buy power bank or do paid charging but of you no fit do any of this den enter street find work fes because the forum no go excuse you for not working hard enough.

If basically u can't afford any of the above stated OP, and you have the desires and believe in the forum, then u have 2 choices either u borrow a phone to login and do ur tins or u change environment that is all.

Remember it is either u win or u win bcos there is no excuse for failure.

How you take create this post and the others wey dey in your name, OP?
 You just prove to us say you understand how important e dey to get charged phone for this kind hustle and as long as you somehow don dey consistent to an extent, alternatives to take dey manage to keep your phone charged go always dey available somehow.

The topic alone make me fear small, but na wen I read through I grab your point, and watin I go add be say, Bitcoin na one of many crypto coins wey dey use the decentralized crypto currency network to function, and I no think say where the headquarters dey, or where the miners dey stay or even the homes of traders go always dey without some form of electricity.

One real sign to know workman or a skilled man wey dey serious about em hustle or trade na the availability of tools wey dey make the hustle Waka smooth and easy and  end with a professional touch.

The best thing to buy nah just find way gather money buy solar, if him buy that one no need to worry about fuel or NEPA. The power bank you go still need charge am no be so? Solar no need to stress you at all, and ones you get am all you gadgets don sure for 100% but you get the moni to get am, nai be the only challenge.

This na better advice you done give, this issue of light for naija no be today matter so the thing go better if him follow your advice buy power bank if him money no reach to buy two make him buy one first then latter if fit add another one. The price from 4000 to 5000 mAh go they between 4000-5000 naira to because 10, 000 mAh na 8000 naira, the thing no too cost if the person get the money make him just buy am to aviod disappointment from nepa.

Minning in Nigeria go get a lot of problems for rood the thing they consume light and light no stable, if na solar the person go spend spend because installation of solar no be play for Nigeria, and for some weeks now light done better sha but the thing no mean say they no go carry am but the thing go sweet if them go increase our light for this country, because plenty businesses need light without light many of this businesses go suffer.

Epileptic power supply na long-standing problem for our country, every administration wey come dey always promise Nigerians better power supply, but dem dey always fail in doing that. The situation is so bad that we as Nigerians are now inure to the pains of epileptic power supply, and we just find a way to manage the situation, and that's exactly wetin OP go do.

Electricity is so important, so you have to power your house with your generator, you also have to buy more than one power bank and also prioritize devices that has a stronger battery life. If you cannot always buy fuel to use your generator, then you have to charge your devices in a friend's house or in public centers, this is exactly how an average Nigerian manages the situation.

Before someone will start bitcoin mining, or other crypto mining, he would have researched about it and research about suitable places in Nigeria with constant electricity. There are places in Nigeria with constant electricity and such places are better than where there is not electricity than for miners to depend on other source like solar and generator which could make the mining not profitable.

It is well known that electricity is a primary need in a nation as it leads to economic growth and sustenance. With electricity, industries can function, business can thrive and other activities dependent on it will wax strong. Same is applicable to the Crypto and Bitcoin industry.

It is true not every Bitcoin activities that can be done with a phone but for those that can be done with a phone and are beneficial to OP, I think it would be better for OP to look for a way out because what ever is your source of income must be taken seriously and as such OP should do the needful by looking for a means to power his or her phone if he or she means business. I have read other response from members and I think what they have said is what is obtainable and not negotiable if OP really appreciate his work.

For the miners, before they think of erecting a mining farm, they already know the situation of things when it comes to electricity power supply so I believe they must have had an alternative means of power supply so that their business can strive because no reasonable person would depend on our electricity to power their mining farm.

Tuale for you baba, you be confirmed resilient gallant hustler, the guy never serious to do forum activities, there is always a way where there seems to be no way, na laziness and pride dey worry most people wey dey complain for situation. maybe em dey form unnecessary big boy to go attach for somewhere charge em phone dey do forum activities. like this wey I dey reply this post, I dey one woman shop for my neighbourhood wey get small solar wey she dey use sell for night. I don go follow am laugh small, use style comot her phone wey she dey charge wey don dey full come put my own make I collect small battery, then come use my laptop wey charge small for work dey reply this topic. by the time she go pack and my laptop battery don die, I go now use my phone complete my wetin I wan do for the forum.

No excuse at all for the jungle for who wan survive. If the jungle hard to penetrate, we go devise another strategy to take survive. If your mind really dey to do forum activities, you will go to any length to achieve am. no dey find excuses. make use of your neighborhood, wherever you see light, you suppose go make them your friend cos na who carry palm fronds goat dey escort.

OP I understand your plight and the fact that you find it difficult engaging in activities here as a result of the epileptic power supply here in our country Nigeria. As a matter of fact, this has been a problem in Nigeria when it comes to electricity power supply. Nigeria is yet to tackle the issue of electricity let alone to have it constantly being supplied to the consumers or citizens.

You can be able to work with your phone if you can as I believe there are no much task here on this platform  you can not be able to work out with your phone. When it comes to creating a thread, replying or post or comment even to the point of wearing a signature and avatar, that can be done with a phone although phone features are a bit limited but at most some engagement can be done with a phone.

When it comes to electricity as it regards to your functions here, it should not be a thing of complaint to you because you should always improvise to sort things out. There are phone charging spots where you can go charge your phone for as little as #100 more or less.  At least you have a barbing shop where you go to barb your hair, barbers do not bother their customers when it comes to charging of phone but they can only tell you to watch after your phone as it is your sole responsibility to do so while charging it. You can explore other means of charging your device so as to help sustain your work as the case may be. You may as well consider relocating from that place if you see that the electricity situation there is not favourable to you.

Without electricity you go fit use your phone do other hustle? Electricity is a necessity of life so we no supposed dey complain about am if we want hustle but to find means to use get am. If you no get light, your neighborhood no get light to go bye charge your phone or where to pay and charge your phone no dey your area? And even though none of this alternative dey your area then move to a better area wey you go get all this things. There should be no excuse when e come to hustle. Bitcoin and this forum different, working on the forum as a promoter via signature isn't working in Bitcoin (make you no dey confused the two) Bitcoin no get work but if we wan talk say something na Bitcoin work e go be investing and trading. As a hustler you go need find means to use get the necessary things to use hustle. If you say the forum na ur hustle (wey no wetin you supposed dey talk) then you need look for means to make you get access to the forum always.


Have you considered looking for a job outside the forum since getting access to electricity na problem for you and any job wey you dey do for the forum need your phone to dey on and na electricity you go need to dey power your phone. If you get some money you need buy better phone, ask your friends about their phones to know which phone get better battery quality wey dem dey use so you get get first hand information from experience users as nobi everything we go dey believe for phone manufacturers. You fit also buy alternative power supplies like power banks, small solar just for changing of your phone. This things no go take much from you if truly all your hustle na for the forum and if you no get cash, try look for manual hustle raise funds and use arrange yourself also I go advice you to get other alternative hustle just Incase forum cast make you no dey stranded.

Neither can you use laptop to mine bitcoin. If you want to be mining bitcoin or you want to join a mining pool which is what that is common today, you will need ASICs for it. I do not think OP is also talking about mining, but bitcoin generally. I mean bitcoin trading, investing and learning on this forum.

I don't think it is every Bitcoin activity that can be done with a phone. There are people mining Bitcoin in Nigeria even on low key, there is no way such people will not need stable electricity. When power is made constant in Nigeria, a lot of businesses will boom including mining of Bitcoin.

If it is other areas of Bitcoin generating businesses like the forum, trading and others, then a phone is fine for it. Beyond that, a laptop is definitely needed.

I no think say watin you talk nah excuses for you to get knowledge of Bitcoin or to even own a Bitcoin, I go like share my own story with you, first of all were I from nah place way no even get single electricity and we dey use canoe dey go place because we no get road not even bad road self but e no stop me to learn Bitcoin or to buy Bitcoin, I no get money to buy the solar way you dey talk say e dey expensive but I hustle to get the money way I go use buy am and I buy am knowing say e go help me well well, as I finally buy am I con Lean about Bitcoin from this wonderful forum without having any electricity challenge.
Some days go I travelled out from my local village to bayelsa state based on one or two, nah that time I know say the lack of Nepa light nah for everywhere for the country, so watin I dey try talk be say as you fit no get the money to buy the solar you go fit still but small power bank, you fit dey recharge am not more than N100 for charging centers.

Dis wan no be excuse for you say make you no dey active for here o, becos you gats just improvise if you wan follow for people wey go get knowledge for here. You know say d economy condition of d country hard but u still dey find means dy see food chop daily becos say d food dey very important for your belle. Anything wey you put for it mind say e dey important for you, na so u go take find solutions to am. All of us here na Naija we dey and we know how e dey be for light matter for here, and we still dey get time dey show face for here bcos say we sabi d importance of wetin dey here. So if you get d same idea like us, dis one no go be excuse for you. And you go find permanent solution to dis ur matter for here.


Like many people don talk am, look for power bank wey go last you wella. If one no go do, buy two. If two no go still do you, buy three until you find solution to d problem wey dey stop you from coming to d forum to learn wetin you get passion for. At least if you buy am plenty like 2-3, before dem go all run down, light suppose come for you to go charge am or take dem go charging points one after d oda, to dey charge one as you dey use d oda one dey power ur phone. If dis solution no still work for u, den I no think say dem go get any oda solution to your problem wey go cheap pass this idea to afford for ur problem. No forget say na naija we dey, and we dey always dey find way dey improvise and find solution to anything wey go make us better or where we go learn from to make us better.

How you can get out of the epileptic power supply? I don't think anyone here can give you that answer since we're all suffering from the same plaque as you are and can only mitigate the issue through finding their own alternative. But na so we all they suffer from this lack of electricity o. And that's exactly how other MSMEs are also suffering from it. But like the MSMEs will look for alternatives, me and you too can. At least our activities require less power consumption unlike other businesses.

So what I will encourage that you look for an alternative that can last you several times without Uninterrupted Power on your phone. For example, you can get a bigger Power Bank or add two extra to what you already have. There are also solar charger power banks available. You can get like two of that as a standard. So far as it is to charge your phone devices, that should suffice.

Unfortunately, we live in a country where basic amenities have become luxury. Where comon electricity don turn to something else. Now we gaz go look for other options. But why won't it be like that. I remember during the senate interview of El-rufai for the ministerial position, he made mention of we having around 11 licensed DISCOS (Distribution Companies) of which it's only 3 that are functional. Then why won't their be wasted generated power whereas we are saying even the megawatts currently generated are not enough, yet we have enough being wasted due to lack of transmission and distribution.

No excuse for jungle. Way dey even for where you think say no way. Put your legs down and follow wetin others dey do. Go barber's shop you go fit dey charge or you go try pay to charge at least Dem must get a place wey people dey pay money charge their phones.

Then let your priority be to support yourself with power bank and if I be you, try save and buy like 40,000 watts, with that one you know say e go carry you for 1 weeks plus if fully charged and electricity no dey.

Electricity has been one of the major problems that has hindered our economic growth in this country as due to poor or no electricity, many businesses has suffered setback more especially now that the petrol pump price has been increased thereby making it difficult for business owners that have generator.

It is very funny to see how a country that has not experienced a stable power system will be supplying electricity to other countries like Ghana in compromise of her own country.

However, there is always a way out of every challenge because as a result of negligence from our government in some vital sectors, it is advisable for one to take responsibility of one's needs in other to succeed.

In as much as poor electricity  has been a lingering challenge over the years I think every individual needs to look for other ways of making sure that there business doesn't go backwards as a result of the fact that we don't have a stable power supply as in the aspect of how to charge your devices to continue your interaction in this community, I believe you can sort help to power your devices from a neighbor or business owners that uses generator to charge your devices

Use phone if you do not have enough money. Buy a power bank with it. If you do not really have light, get a second power bank so that you can charge the two at once when there is light. There are phone with 4000 to 5000 mAh battery that can last you almost a whole day with internet. If you can not get it new, get the second hand.

With the poor state of electricity supply in our country and the high inflation of the economy, increase in PMS (fuel ) price,it has become very difficult to use generator, power bank another issue of its own even solar has also become more expensive for people to buy  or even pay in instalment.

Livelihood is becoming more difficult by the day,no money to have your proper and adequate meal,no good job to maintain your standard of living and meet  your needs.

I got introduced to Bitcoin and I have been trying to do my activities, but the condition of poor electricity supply Will  not permit me to easily do my Bitcoin activities in the forum .
How do I find a way out of this epileptic power supply of the country, so that I can be consistent in the forum  performing  my activities .What do i do ? I seriously need your contributions and advice.
