Recently I watched Jujutsu Kaisen and Solo Leveling, and I loved both. A while back I also really liked Naruto, although I never actually finished it.

I tried Sword Art Online and Re:Zero, but neither of them really clicked for me, so I ended up dropping both.

I'm looking for something under 100 episodes with great fights, a good story, and characters you actually get invested in. I don't mind if it's a little longer as long as it stays interesting and doesn't have a ton of filler.

What would you recommend based on that?

I have an IT background and basically read the full 500 pages. I also bought a secondary prep course and completed it fully, but it was quite boring and I'm not sure how much it helped, it was just 30-minute videos of someone talking to the camera with a bunch of text behind him.

What helped most, I think, was being genuinely interested in the subject. I have a project I'm working on developing a P2P payment app which kept me engaged with the material.

At the end of my preparation, I also worked a lot with Claude, going chapter by chapter and asking it to give comprehensive explanations. That made a big difference.

I'm working on a consumer-to-merchant mobile payment app for the Algerian market — store your bank/postal card, pay merchants by QR code or payment link.

Why it's real and not just an idea:

- There's already a local competitor (SlickPay) doing roughly this. They got regulatory approval and PCI certification on a small budget, which proves the path is navigable.

- The local card network doesn't support tokenization, so the interesting technical challenge is building our own PCI-compliant card vault. The architecture is already worked out (segregated cardholder-data environment, vault + HSM + a payment processor that talks to the national switch) and there's a full requirements spec against PCI DSS v4.0.1.

- The immediate goal is a working POC/MVP solid enough to put in front of the Bank of Algeria.

Who I'm looking for:

- A technical co-founder or founding engineer who has actually built payment infrastructure — ideally tokenization/PCI scope, HSM/PKCS#11, secure backend.

- Based in Europe and open to meeting in person.

- Someone already experienced in this

If this is your world, comment or DM and let's set up a call or meet.

Saha 3idkom, as described in the title, Ive been living abroad for about 10 years now, I was thinking lately to go back to algeria, start a project there but my last visit had me thinking twice, I realized I changed alot in 10 years, and felt like living there require some skills that I had lost, im not trying to generalize but I felt like that I have to be careful everywhere, like from buying normal groceries, to restaurants to buying a house or something, if you're not super careful you might get scammed.

I went to a restaurant and he made a "calculation mistake", tried to buy a gold ring to find out that a small piece of was cut and some other metal was placed instead, many videos on the internet talking about scams when buying cars or houses ....etc.

What I've noticed also that in some businesses when the owner isn’t there and only employees are managing the place they are very bad at customer service, like they dont really care.

What do you guys think? Was it just a bad trip or it's really like that?

Is there any apps that I can use to order stuff (groceries or gifrs) for family in algeria that allow you to pay with visa cards from abbriad or edahabia also is fine.

Not in big cities, delivers to Tiaret for example

Hello,

I live in France and been trying to find opportunities to invest in Algeria, I believe the best way to do it is to partner with like minded people, maybe we can make a workinggroup where everyone share ideas or their skills and see what matches?

EDIT: DM me if you are interested, will try to make a telegram group

I’m considering starting a dog training business in Algeria with someone who is a retired military dog trainer, and I’d love advice from people who have experience in this industry.

The idea would be to offer services like:

- Basic obedience training

- Protection / guard dog training

- Family protection dogs

- Puppy training and behavior correction

- Possibly training for security companies later on

I would mainly handle the financing and business side, while my partner would handle the actual dog training and operations.

I have a few questions for people who’ve done this before:

1. Is dog training actually a profitable business long term?

2. What are the biggest mistakes new dog training businesses make?

3. How difficult is it to build trust and get the first customers?

4. Are protection/guard dog services worth offering, or do they create more legal/risk problems than profit?

5. What services usually make the most money?

6. Would you recommend starting small (private sessions only) or investing early into a proper training facility?

7. What should I know before partnering with a trainer if I’m the investor/business partner?

8. For people outside the US/Europe: how did you market and grow your business locally?

Any advice, warnings, or things you wish you knew before starting would really help.
