I just got a $917 Post! For helping 4 members of Steemit Africa wake up to $1000 posts EACH, with one post by @xpency now over $2200! Whales like @thejohalfiles just changed lives of 4 steemit africa members, who are now beacons of Steemt Hope in AfricasteemCreated with Sketch.

Whats the fastest way to make the most money on steemit? HELPING OTHERS ! especially those in need in the developing world! Give and upvote people who are in need, and document it, make posts about it, and steemit will reward those who help others! Aa form of instant karma perhaps Here is my story of how I got over $900 off a single post
https://steemit.com/steemit/@ackza/steemit-operation-upgrade-africa-after-helping-an-african-steemit-user-in-ghana-tj4real-make-usd1600-off-a-single-post-i-want-to

And it was about helping a group of Africans (My beloved Steemit Africa) get thousands of dollars in a single day, and a mighty whale named @thejohalfiles who saw my good work and rewarded me with a simple upvote (and his upvotes are worth alot) So you see, focus on others and money for yourself will follow! (And ive already promised to use that $900 plus dollars I made to help the cause of more africans on steemit)

Last night I was still glowing over the post I helped @tj4real get to over $1600 AND THEN I found out @thejohalfiles wasn't done! he upvoted @mcsamm @ortigas100 and @xpency All African Steemit users who REALLY needed this, probably more than ANY of us! Now steem is going to where its needed the most! NOT just as money but as an entire alternative financial and economic system! Steemit and Bitcoin and crypto currency provides banking AND jobs!

And I saved these images last night! But Today I found out that theyve made even more!...because @xpency made ANOTHER 1000 dollars because we KEPT promoting the stemit africa projects trying to ride this wave even further and I found that @xpency is up to over $2200 on his REALLy good post showing him talking to a crowd of 200 students in Nigeria!


https://steemit.com/steemit/@xpency/success-2-introduced-over-200-people-in-nigeria-africa#@thejohalfiles/re-tj4real-re-thejohalfiles-re-xpency-success-2-introduced-over-200-people-in-nigeria-africa-20170624t123116514z PLEASE check out his post! its stemit GOLD! shows images of hi signing up fellow Africans, on the ground, real Grass Roots community action! Because of our hard work, My new friends in Africa, the Steemit Africa team, made it to the FRONT page of steemit Africa or http:///www.steemit.com/trending/Africa

And then today I had just got done doing some obsessive commenting , and I had a feeling I would get a surprise from the whales soon! And helping these Africans become beacons of Hope for their communities is SO rewarding! They have been telling me how excited their families are for them! We will get all of Africa on Steemit this way!....I am so happy to have gotten $917 off a single post, but MUCH happier to have helped 44 of my African friends on steemit make even MORE than me! The Students have Out Performed the Teachers!


My dream used to be to get a $10 postthen it was a $20 post then I got close to an $80 post and I just wanted a $100 Post....I still hadnt gotten the $100 post yet and I am so happy to have jumped rightpast $100 and am now heading straight for the $1000 Post range! And as price of steem goes up tomorrow this $917 will o doubt become over $1000 and I cannot wait for steemit to experience the magic of watching steem double then triple in value over this summer!

and I promise that all the steem I make from this post will go towards getting Wifi in Africa maybe sending a BRCK device to @tj4real to test out, or by funding a competition to build a BRCk competitor, or by finding a way to buy a few cheap smartphones with prepaid internet but only using our own system our own ISP we can become our own ISp in Africa since Africans do not have the money to afford high bandwidth costs and they need internet more than ever now! To get on steemit of course :)! I want to make a post about asking the steemit tech community what the best way to create our own cheap solar powered wifi mesh network in African would be, and if we should just work with this existing BRCK company and its seemingly very rugged and very cool product!

and use all the money from this post to try and buy a BRCK wifi portable backup internet device OR make our own, using cheap batteries, solar panel, and a raspberry pi with a 2 to 4 g receiver and wifi router, but I believe this BRCK device is probably built as best as it can! But we will try to make competing solutions! because this Device BRCk is made in designed in Kenya, so designed in Africa and Built in the USA! Very cool combination and it reflects the energy of what we are doing here on steemit!


So let's get Africa a HEAD START on steemitand with cryptocurrency! While Americans are all playing on facebook and reddit and instagram for free, Africans will be making money on steemit, slowly but surely saving up steem and bitcoins, so when steem goes to $100 per steem, the same way all these other crypto currencies "moon" like bitcoin or ethereum going up many many tens of 1000s of percent up, then it will make africans rich! If we are all making money so fast and easy with cryptocurrency, why not let the worlds poorest people get in on the action? This is our CHANCE to give every african a steemit account with a few STEEM to have as a savings account! Imagine if someone had given 1 million Africans 1 bitcoin each back when 1 bitcoin was just pennies?? do you all see what I mean its hard to describe my thoughts, but its simple! Leets get every citizen of every poor african nation a little bit of crypto! When crypto "moons" or Prices shoots up high to the moon, then all the "poor" africans will become "rich" africans! And so the most IMPORTANT thing to help give Africans now is the internet! And smartphones!


(Image credit: @shrikihub https://startsomegood.com/shiriki-hub @HenriNyakarundi (Above) (CEO of ARED) invented SHIRIKI HUB! The word SHIRIKI is Swahili for "participate.“ SHIRIKI HUB is a mobile solar kiosk that offers free mobile phone charging and free wifi! PERFECT for our steemit Afrika Corp! Imagine having STEEMIT BRANDED Shriki Hubs!)

They need cheap or FREE wifi/2g/3g/4g AND they need cheap or free laptops, tablets, smartphones, communal ones too! Villages need those Kio Kits from BRCK to allow each village to have a central "Internet Cafe" type building where any african can freely use a computer with internet for an hour or two a day so they can just have a chance to get on steemit or mange their bitcoin or altcoin crypto investments! Its that simple! we just need to KEEP raising the money to get them started and we are already are! we are successful! so let's just keep going!


(Image From www.good.is page titled: "The Internet As a Human Right Website)

I realize we are not alone, Google and Facebook are among many big companies trying to create free wifi for all of africa, BUT I feel we will succeed in our own ventures if we PRETEND that we are alone and noone will help us! If we do everything on our own, big companies and benefactors will SEE our hard work and they will help us out! But people want to know they are sending money to someone who has a proven track record of using it for good ...because a big fear of Wealthy Western people sending money to Africa is that some WarLord will intercept the money or that they are being scammed by some "Nigerian Prince" but we can get past all that! (I wanted to make sure we address all of these real life problems)


(This is the updated 21st century Laslow's Hierarchy of Needs, with Electricity (battery) and Internet(wifi) as new Human Needs that can now be the foundation for all the rest of your needs! And Steemit and Crypto Currency will be on this list one day too!)

Now we have so much work to get as many competiing free wifi services out on the African Continent! Facebooks Open Cellular and many more are discussed in this article by iAfrikan.com listed below:

https://www.iafrikan.com/2016/07/07/facebooks-opencellular-may-have-just-bricked-kenyas-brck/
Here on iafrikan.com (a website which @tj4real and @xpency need to reach out an email the creators and show them steemit!) the website has some IMPORTANT Info about ALL the Internet Projects for Africa AND any wifi projects like Googles project Fi and PROJECT LINK by Google In Ghana @tj4real u need to look into this! http://ameyawdebrah.com/fast-and-affordable-broadband-internet-coming-soongoogle-launches-project-link-in-ghana/

which goes over Project Link, Now called C Squared: a Google Project to bring internet to Africa
http://www.csquared.com/


(Googles Project Link C Squared) workers installing Fiber Optic Cables on the ground in Africa!)

and OuterNet https://outernet.is/ which sells packet radio devices AND has access to satelite networks in space!

(DREAMCATCHERL Fully-integrated SDR receiver - RF frontend, SDR, computer, Allwinner A13 with 512 MB RAM, and Mainline Linux kernel (4.10) and Uboot (2017.01) support)


(Video explaining OuterNet )

According to iAfrikan.com ..."Currently, Outernet is multicasting on six satellites which they say cover 99% of the human population. Oh, to get connected to the Outernet satellites, you need to purchase their $99 receiver or the $35 Outernet Tuner for Raspberry Pi. Then there's Facebook with various projects aiming to do the same thing (connect the next 4 billion to the Internet) albeit in different ways. They have the widespread and in some parts infamous (and banned) Free Basics project. Which, if you distill it, is more like an Internet users "on-boarding" project for them and the network providers they partner with as users of Free Basics only have access to a limited set of websites and a "watered down" version of Facebook.
You want more? Pay." This was a quote from iAfrikan.com

I agree facebook sucks for doing this "limited" internet, it is like offering a toy without batteries and then selling batteries....If you are going to give Africa free internet, give them the entire internet not some watered down version of facebook and a handful of websites, wtf is that shit? Well although its better than nothing, this is why we are here to help people get REAL free internet without limitations! We are here to help Africa WITHOUT ulterior motives! Facebook just wants more users in Africa to make more money! They want another billion users for FREE but WE are here to tell Africans to spend more time on STEEMIT because they will actually get paid! Facebook is just GREED! But we WILL take whatever free stuff they give us! We will find ways to exploit facebooks free wifi and tunel through facebook! They amke it so only facebook is free to use, so we will use a facebook API to tunnel through facebook and allow someone to use steemit via acebook HAHA

Also from iAfrikan.com "Facebook also have a project named Aquila, which sees the use of solar powered drones hovering above the earth looking to connect people to the Internet (I just hope they don't crash into Google's balloons)." hahaha wow solar powered drones with wifi? I have been thinking that for years, so has anyone else with a brain! Its a simple idea that thinks of itself! But to make it work we would need better drone and battery and solar technology, or just use balloons or satellites! It is still positive that facebook is investing any money into wifi for africa, I will try to just focus on the good!

But facebook DOES have something "closer to reality" as iAfrikan puts it, and its called Open Cellular: "OpenCellular is small sized hardware device that attaches to a tree, street lamp, wall or telephone pole from where it can drive a wireless connection including a 2G to LTE networks and smaller Wi-Fi networks within homes or offices." from iafrikan.com


(Components of the Open Cellular system (L-R): strap, mounting bracket, enclosure, RF board, GBC board. | via Facebook)

And again, iafrikan.com states this better than I can, "Closer to home, it also turns out that Kenya was one of the testing grounds for Facebook's OpenCellular. An on-the-ground deployment team from Facebook made its way from Kenyan refugee camps to inland villages in order to hack together new methods for getting people online. Speaking of Kenya, I can't help but notice the similarities between Facebook's OpenCellular (whose full technical specifications and pricing are not yet available) and Kenya's BRCK, which also aims to connect the next 4 billion to the Internet."

a great quote from iAfrkan.com article that explains this better than I could! We now see multiple competing methods and devices for connecting the billions of unconnected people, especially in Africa, which is so big and vast that if we can connect poor rural africa, that means we can connect rural India and rural Australia and Central Asia and Rural Latin America, and I really see internet as being as free and available to future humans as Air is the breathe!


And for @TJ4real in Ghana , you should reach out this man Prof. Nii Narku Quaynor, chairman Ghana Dot Com Photo: ghana.com "Ghanaian tech firm Ghana Dot Com (GDC) has established what it terms as the first cryptocurrency producing farm in Africa that it expects will add to the global Bitcoin pool, Ghanaweb reported. GDC is a descendant company of Network Computer Systems, one of the first tech pioneer companies in Africa and is credited with introducing internet in Ghana and several other African countries."

from http://afkinsider.com/121402/ghanaian-tech-firm-dot-com-makes-first-cryptocurrency-africa/ and I just accidentallly found this article and image and @tj4real just told me that this man is a professor of Computer Engineering at @othniel 's school! So we have a good chance of bringing this man to steemit! Then he will bring ALL of his students to steemit!

I will leave you with a documentary from Vice (back when they were not political) that shows Whites coming to Africa to make money as truck drivers, to prove that yes there are business opportunities even in places like South Sudan!


So never give up! There is always opportunity out there! And one day Africa will become WEALTHIER than the west! I know that sounds crazy but if Africans are using steemit and saving crypto currency while Americans are all playing around on Facebook and reddit for free, then Africa has a real chance to catch up!

I love this man. Imagine just how much better there lives and the lives of their loved ones will be because of yours and others efforts on Steemit. Well done :)

Things like portable wifi devices absolutely can transform people's lives. Stuff many of us, me included, have a tendency to take for granted.

Wow! You are on fire in the Steemit community . Making a huge difference in many people's lives. Thanks for introducing me to Steem and crypto!

They really deserve some steemit love and recently got screwed over on ebay trying to buy some BTC Miners after i really pressured the to go ahead and buy some and they arrived broken and now its gonna be a big return process and I feel bad and REALLy want to help them get their steemit going! if anyone is reading this please send @monkimo some upvotes and they are TWO people a couple, or rather a family that lives off grid and needs support! @higomex who I also met heere in san diego who I met thru my Bitcoin CL Ad, lso likes the raw vegan stuff and i believe is vegan and would like to see your posts, and @neoxian @stellabellle @craig-grant and @thejohalfiles would probably like to see your off grid desert home, and the way your raising your Children without the chetrails or EMF electrosmog an probably would enjoy seeing the desert photos of ur crazy house in the middle of NOwhere! and yet ur still a half hour drive to where I am! Man an diego has some crazy microclimates! Maybe we can test the Wifi tech for Rural Africa out in the desert at ur off grid house! like we can see if we can setup cheap wifi repeaters well, maybe once u move, haha i know u gys dont want a bunch of wifi everywhere thats the whole point of being out there! LOL

@ackza, followed and upvoted @monkimo. I respect your wisdom in the short time I've been on Steemit. You talk straight from the heart. You're probably my favorite blogger here, to be honest. And that's AWESOME!

I sometimes wish there was a "see first" or "favorite" tab so we could jump to the people's posts that we like the most. Maybe that is something that could be implemented in the future.

Living off the grid takes courage. It takes a strong family. Now I'm super interested in seeing more posts from them and am going to check out more of their page. :)

Great initiative @ackza Respect is what I have for your kind heart.

I want to make Steemit Africa my Nitche because free global wifi has always been my dream, even when i was a kid and there only 56k Modems and noone could even imagine broadband over the air without wires we certainly didnt expect smartphones this fast, and going to developing nations to install internet is the coolest way to push technology to its limits, and thus make better wifi routers for everyone in the process, solar powered drones and satellites and just SO much backup wifi that noone will be without internet, and ALSO we will allow anyone to send a signal from a little smartphone kiosk and have a drone deliver them their own smartphone, and YES the EMF and "electrosmog" might be bad for us, BUT the benefits outweigh the goods! once we all have internet, we can all financially be free using crypto currency and drone delivery and we can all have the money we will neeeed to UPGRADE the wifi antennas to deliver laser focuses LIFI or Light based wifi that doesnt use radio signals, which will be much better for our DNA!

but its like needing to invent dirty internal comustion engines and coal power plants to get to the point where u can invent solar panels and electric cars and then evetually use them as they become even more efficient than the old tech! the clean tech will eventualy e dominant and that includes wifi! lifi will reppace the wifi and electrocsmog will go down so its all good we will think of everthing ;) (and then realize how little we know, because as our circumfrance of knowledge grows the perimeter of our ignorance gets even bigger!

and getting africa online will not only bring us a potential 1 billion steemit users but it will also bring us a higher price of steem!

You are very right. @ackza. I'll be rooting for you. I'll try my best to contribute to the community too

Good Heart, Good Dream, Good Life, Good Nation.

Congratulations @ackza!

This post inspires and motivates ! We should all be helping others and trying to build a community.
@trendo

Steemit really helps a lot. Happy to see someone that is willing to get rid of poverty in Africa, you should collaborate with @gavvet, he's from SA if im not mistaken. :)

After the successful support of @darthnava, I was thinking the steemit community needs to band together in support and contribution more. The potential for community driven charity is astounding. I'm glad you're helping to spread the wealth and love <3

I am a final year student of meteorology at the Federal University 🎓 of Technology Akure Nigeria 🇳🇬 , member of the school's space club, @ackza, i believe great achievements can only come if individuals of different vast ideas come together as one,im a cybrary.it certified Fundamental Mobile Device Security Expert, also a mobile gadgets repair technician. We should join hands in bringing the rest of Africa 🌍 together starting from @ackza @tj4real -Ghana 🇬🇭 @xpency @drled- Nigeria 🇳🇬 starting from here steemit. Long may steemit reign!
