In response to growing concerns and rumors, Tapswap has clarified its stance on whether it has banned Nigerian users from accessing its Telegram coin mining app.
The clarification comes at a time when some Nigerians reported difficulties in opening the app.
In a statement issued on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday, May 24, Tapswap addressed the situation, dispelling the rumors of a ban.
The company explained that the issues experienced by Nigerian users were due to technical challenges and not an intentional restriction.
“Dear Nigerian community,” the statement began, “We’ve heard concerns about limiting access to users from your country, but we want to clarify that this is not the case. We had to enable verification for the region from where DDoS attacks were initiated. As promised, we will disable this once our infrastructure is fully adapted.”
Tapswap emphasized its appreciation for its global user base, including the Nigerian community. “We deeply appreciate every member of our community from all around the world and always welcome you here. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
