Bitcoins.co.ke is Bitcoin portal and community site for Nairobi, Kenya, and Africa that needs someone to help manage it. The website consists of:
* a front page that is translated into Swahili
* a list of the biggest Bitcoin news
* links to top mobile and desktop clients
* a new forum which will focus at the start on original blog posts by authors in Kenya.
So the main tasks are publicity, keeping the forum free of spam, and generally helping people in Africa learn about Bitcoin. If you have any ideas on what else to do for the cause, feel free to offer your ideas. As far as payment goes, I'm covering the hosting costs and will entertain low budget proposals.
This is a good opportunity for someone who wants to learn Bitcoin by helping it grow. PM me if you're interested and please include examples of other sites you run or help manage/moderate.
Besides the above, I ask that you email me on a weekly basis with progress on traffic and forum membership.

A day i met one bitcoin prepaid company here on bitcoins talk forum, precisely,i can't remember the name of the company now, who said they have plan of giving out free debit card to most countries in africa. I gave them a little suggestion on how to go about launching their services/product in africa.
☞Now, let face reality, have you guyz/ladies ever immagine how much AFRO-EURO-AMERICA...Base spend each single day on money transfer services such as western union,money gram you name it..
Also, can you immagine what will happen to most of these agency if, a proper awareness of these virtual-crypto currency is created in Africa?
It's upto you to provide answer to these question!
Thanks

Thanks for the bump extracoinrome. Do you have a plan for establishing those relationships with traders? Also, are there any software projects focused on Bitcoin in Africa/Nigeria that deserve particular attention?
Good idea @Weex atleast it will help create this awareness in Africa.
I'm a Nigerian who based in rome for about 7+ year's now. i'm thinking of offering such services to my people in Nigeria but, in order to proceed i will need to establish strong relationship with home-based trader's in Africa (Nigeria).

He is just hunting post to his signature campaign and it is so bad man. You can be kicked by it's owner. Be polite also and make post over whole forum, do not spam.
This is the most blatant spam or postcount-levelling I saw in some time.
Stop that.
Post whatever you want in *one* post, and edit your last post if noone wrote in the meantime.
It will rain negative reputation if you continue such behavior.

I think that videos can help to much afrikans to understand better bitcoin. For this I am proposing two videos which, according to me can help in this direction. Here the videos:

Maybe they need translation but I think that this is worth to do.
I think you should get away from the idea of trying to help Africa.

There must be to many ways to help people in Africa to learn about bitcoin. And those might be the same used by the others on other parts of the world. For example they may be directed to the faucets to earn some free bitcoins. I remember that coin ad was one of the most visited site as a faucet (before its status) and i earned my first bitcoin there. Coin ad is yet active and there can be earned again some free bitcoins there.
Then other way can be searching in internet and read things about bitcoin. There are to many news from every kind of peoples. Easy news and hard news. Wikipedia will be one of the many. There are to many news there and for everyone. Hope this help.

Bitcoins in africa.. Uhh shouldnt we work on getting them food first?
It's not "this OR that", it's "let's do all that we can at the same time!".
A widespread use of Bitcoin in Africa will help solve some of the problems. Not all.
It will, by the way, help with several problems associated with "getting them food there" too ;-)

I love this idea, only can hope Africans will adopt Bitcoin!!
might work well
good luck !
unfortunately that is the way it is. Maybe some folks in Zimbabwe wisened up by now?
It's like trying to convert Tim Geithner. He's doing quite well in the paper fiat money world, thank you very much.
And so are various African governments.
If you want to succeed you need to get people to start using it.
Right now the unstable price is a bit of a problem because it makes it hard to quote prices in BTC (not everyone has digital displays over there).

how about The Gambia ?
what if some african state would introduce BTC as their national currency. that way it would be harder to ban elsewhere and a recourse to the United Nations would be possible.
Someone actually had talks in several African embassys. Some were not interested, and at least one found the idea interesting. Never heard of it again, though..
This could have been in 2011 maybe, so we are in a quite different position nowadays.
Why not? Go for it! Any volunteers? :-)

What would be required for a manager?
I.e. language-wise, living somewhere around and stuff?
Good luck, this project deserves all success!

Knowing a local language would be a plus and having at least 4 hours a week to devote to the project. Just sent you a PM to discuss details.

Love this idea.
It will be very interesting to see the different world viewpoints on bitcoin in one place.
Cool, will add my section tomorrow.
BTW I think it is http://elbitcoin.org , but .com domain redirect to .org anyway.
Good luck!
EDIT: Also check the links in the download section, for example http://electrum.org/download.html is the actual link for Electrum and there is a /index.php/get-armory in the Armory link.
I'd offer myself to admin your website, but I don't know any language from Africa and not much about the continent.

That's a good idea. Added to the lower left.
Can I propose you a link sharing for located websites, I run http://bitcoinvenezuela.com from Spain for Venezuela and Argentina, http://elbitcoin.org Spain an Latin America in general... And so on
Something like: "Bitcoin around the world" I'd add this section for the link sharing
