1861  Local / India / Can you cashout gift card from Amazon pay to bank? on: April 03, 2023, 03:08:55 PM
I am not so into finding jugad but considering the tax issue I went ahead and checked with one of my friend who is always using Amazon & Flipkart for most of his domestic requirements. The reason for me asking such a stupid question was to find out whether you can cash an Amazon gift card using Amazon pay.

I found out that you can transfer the gift card amount to your bank account but you need to pass full KYC. Now the question that came into my mind was is their any tax involved for using a coupon on an Amazon or any other online platform? If yes then why use Bitrefill? If not then what are the implications of passing KYC of Amazon pay?

I am aware the max you can get as a gift coupons is 5k as I recently made a purchase on Bitrefill. The problem is if I pass full KYC can I still cashout with regular intervals before Amazon start questioning my transaction?

If anyone here has tried it please leave a reply.

Thanks in advance.

P.S- Please ignore my typo mistake as this time is midnight for me.

I won't be surprised if it happens.

Good teams like New Zealand and South Africa are already struggling with their schedule and playing only 2-3 test match series. Teams with a rich history of Test cricket, like the Windies and Pakistan are just trying to keep up with pale imitation.

Another factor which I am sure everyone will agree here is the popularity of T20 leagues. Every board has now started its own league to increase the revenue. New and upcoming boards are also following the same footsteps.

I haven't heard any board coming out with negative revenue figures from there respective leagues tournaments. If every boards keeps on concentrating only on T20 format then how will test cricket and ODI survive.

I think the only way both both these formats can survive is only when the respective boards themselves decide on how to revive both of them. At the moment they are least bothered as they are busy in generating revenue from the shorter format.

Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants who are new to this event will fight today at Chennai Super Kings' own venue. Chennai Super Kings have more wins at home. As such they will plan again today. On the other hand Lucknow Super Giants is new but they have a strong position. Moreover, in a spin dependent field, both teams will definitely try to keep spin bowlers in today's squad. Lucknow Super Giants got off to a good start in the first match and today's match will have a target to continue their winning streak.

CSK has a strong batting line-up but the team lacks reliability. In the last match Gaikwad was the reason why CSK was able to put on scoreboard a competitive target. None of the other batters were able to contribute to the target. I also feel Dhoni is should come early to bat, the way he batted in the end overs was incredible.

Mark wood and Kyle Mayers have proven in the previous game against DC that they can easily decide the fate of a match single handedly. I do not think LSG will have any problems problems if these two players can repeat their performance.in today's match.

Hello & Welcome to the Indian local board. I do follow a YouTube channel for better understanding of different projects in the crypto space as here the changes are pretty fast and it is not easy to keep up with everything happening around.

The channels name is Bitinning and the owner of this channel is Kashif Raza. Previously he owned a YouTube channel names Crypto kanoon. It sems he has sold it and started this new channel.

RCB VS MI

Another day, another game but the difference was the way both the teams batted. MI had a pathetic start as usual both the openers failed to give a good start. Whereas RCB had a little bit shaky start but both openers were going after the bowlers which ended up them winning the first match of this season.

It has become common to see players dropping important catches in this season. Both teams had an equal amount of catch drops. What I really liked was to see the confident in the eyes of Virat Kohli while he was batting. As usual he took his time but later on there was nothing that could have stopped him.

Still not sure which one to choose but currently in the process of finding one.

Moving to Portugal or any EU country can be considered as an option as they are crypto-friendly in terms of taxations and trading or starting up a crypto company is a welcome move in most parts of EU. This is probably one of the reasons why majority of the DAOs and other small scale crypto projects set up their base in EU rather than USA. United States on the other hand is creating forceful crypto regulations and many startups are moving away from the country in large numbers.

I would consider Portugal to be a better country for migration from India as the cost of living is more or less similar to our country and it is easier to get a visa once you land there. The country grants Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers who earns $2000 or more per month and you can get one as soon as you move there in a tourist visa. Getting a Digital Nomad from our country would be troublesome as the Delhi-Portugal embassy is notorious for stealing your passports and there are cases where the passport was never returned to the candidate unless they went to greater extremes of filing a complaint on them Grin

If your crypto net worth is sizeable, sitting and wasting your time in this country would attract unnecessary government intervention in the future.

@Heisenberg_Hunter @pakhitheboss Just in case you guys decide to go to EU or any country and start your own company then do give me a job as well  Tongue
I am good at finding bugs and can help you in research, analysis, implementation and execution.

Well moving to a different country which is cypto friendly is the reason why many Indians have left India.
I guess Dubai is also crypto friendly as I just read few days ago someone moving to Dubai because of India's high crypto taxation.

Thanks @Heisenberg_Hunter for the brief reply about Portugal. @pawanjain it is too early to hire you but incase I will keep in mind. Some of my friends do live in Dubai. It is a crypto friendly country but the problem is standard of living. The cost of rent and other essential commodities are way too high. INR 1 Lakh every month won't be enough for you.

Just wanted to add to this thread that today I made a purchase for a small amount to check the platform and everything went smoothly. I would like to recommend them if anyone here wants gift cards from various Indian e-commerce platforms.

Apart from Bitcoin they also support other cryptos like Ethereum. Litecoin, Dogecoin and multiple USDT blockchains.

Let's wait for a decade or so, i believe that many full members are going to accept the fact that Test cricket is just a loss-making affair for them.

Most of them are already aware of the reality that's why no one plays 4-5 test match series (except BIG-3). They just don't want to accept it and the main reason is a romanticization of Test cricket, thanks to ICC and the old guard.

In 10 years time I think we only see the big 3 playing bilateral tri series of test cricket whereas the other boards only going after T20 & ODI format. The craze for T20 might even destroy ODI. At the moment only a few countries have good viewership of ODI and only four or five teams in the world can play competitive ODI games.

I missed the starting of the match and hence missed out on wagging a bet because Netherlands was not a competitive team for the South African squad and if there is no rain intervention like the first ODI, South Africa will be winning easily and this is the perfect opportunity for new players to get some experience and cement their place for the next World Cup.

As expected South Africa destroyed the Netherlands team in the first ODI. They scored only 189 runs after batting for more than 45 overs. A score below 200 in ODI is not at all competitive. In just 30 overs and after losing 2 wickets SA won the match. I am expecting the same kind of outcome in today's match too. SA has lost 2 wickets and has scored 76 runs in 15 overs.

Yesterday's match between LSG and DC was the most entertaining after CSK vs GT. I hope we can see more of such matches in IPL. As usual, KL Rahul's performance has not yet gone up and I think he will struggle in the same manner throughout this season. Mark Wood was very impressive yesterday, he took 5 wickets but the most impressive part was when he took 2 wickets back to back. I was expecting Sarfaraz Khan to show his explosive batting same goes for Prithvi Shaw but both were a big disappointment for me. Another setback was the crappy fielding by DC.
1872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: April 02, 2023, 09:04:39 AM
T20 is much more competitive then test and ODI. We saw Zimbabwe and Netherlands in last T20 World Cup beating teams like Pakistan and South Africa. This is something not possible in test as test is proper cricket and you can compete in test only if you have genuine cricket infrastructure. I think Bangladesh is the last country to join as a full test team since then there is no such inclusion. T20 is liked and most viewed format that's why ICC must promote this cricket in countries that are willing to join.

No doubt T20 is more engaging and aggressive than any other format of cricket. The viewership as well as the fan base is also big. Cricketers do love T20 as it is the shortest format of cricket and it also helps increases their earnings than test cricket. The only reason why still some cricket fans follow Test cricket is that it is a format of skills, fitness, and patience. Not everyone in today's generation has the patience to watch cricket for full 5 days.

Now it looks like Sri Lanka has been kicked out of the direct qualification scenario. New Zealand just need another 32 runs in 22 overs. The 5th wicket partnership between Will Young and Will Young have added 67 runs and more importantly they are scoring runs at a very brisk pace. So Sri Lanka will finish below West Indies in points table for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Now the next match is very important. Netherlands will take on South Africa at Willowmoore Park, Benoni, and the match will start in around 4 hours from now. South Africa needs to win just one out of the remaining two matches, to gain direct qualification to the 2023 ODI World Cup.

We all knew that they would be kicked out from direct qualification. You were still having hope on a hopeless team. They have literally gone from bad to worse and I still feel it won't be easy for them when they play for qualification round in the month of June. Who knows they might not even beat WI at that time.
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 31, 2023, 04:46:33 AM
Which countries would actually get added to the test lineup? I don't think any country is worthy of that. And I personally don't think it is going to be a good idea. I will actually be very happy if ICC absolutely forgets about the test format. They should concentrate on the T20 format more because that is the future of cricket.

I actually do not know if any new country is able to play test cricket. As I said earlier most of them are into T20 & ODI. The ICC cannot just go ahead and remove test cricket. Few countries like England, Australia and New Zealand have a good fan base of test cricket. Moreover most former and current cricketers won't allow ICC to take such a decision. This iwas the primary reason why ICC started world test championship.

8 wickets down just for 135 runs. You can't expect anything from this Srilankan side. To add to thier misery they won the toss and choose to bat first. What were they thinking? Only a miracle from Srilankan bowler can help them. Another match completely dominated by the Kiwis team. This not even the full Kiwi side and still they playing so good.

You are right this is just the amount which has been generated from those users who have used local crypto exchange. There are many who have stopped converting crypto to INR using these exchanges. I am waiting to hear & understand how the government would be going after them.
1878  Local / India / Re: Why India government cannot beat the Bitcoin ecosystem? on: March 30, 2023, 11:01:28 AM
At first they would offer free service. Next they would encourage us or force us to use the service. If that doesn't work they will start the emotional game that you are helping in the development of the nation. In the end when you form a habit to use the service they start charging you for it.

Any UPI transaction of more than INR 2000 will be charged 1.1% , starting 1st of April.

Source.

They wanted to digitalize India but they never disclosed the hidden agenda. Now some of you would say it for the cost maintaining the servers. Do you think such an excuse can be given by a Bitcoin miner? Another reason why government cannot beat the Bitcoin ecosystem is that there is nothing hidden and nor the ecosystem allows you to hide.

It seems that the information was misleading and clarification has been provided by NPCI.
The 1.1% charges are applicable only to Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPI wallets).
There are no such charges for the customers and merchants and it will continue to remain free to use.

You are correct NPCI came out with the clarification later on but I don't think they would provide UPI service for free for a long time. I suspect after the central election we will get to hear about it.
1879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 30, 2023, 10:09:22 AM

Bangladesh needs to face a reality check very soon. At least in test format. Otherwise, they are not going to perform better in the test format. Bangladesh seriously needs to face some serious threat from the ICC that the test status is going to be taken away. Probably after that Bangladesh will concentrate on the test format.

Test team like Bangladesh and Srilanka woul continue to play like they have been in the present without any issue. ICC won't do anything as they already have very less test playing nation. Any action against these two teams will result in the decline of viewership from the respective countries and also will not help ICC to revive this format.

I would like to see new countries getting added to the list but it seems most of them are more interested in playing the shorter format of the game as it brings more revenue to the board.

I do not understand Google's probability/prediction. Just checked the schedule for tomorrow's match against GT and CSK and found GT has 54% chance of winning the match against CSK. I know the win probability changes as the match progresses but why update it in a day advance. BTW who do you think will win the opening match of IPL?

Did anyone checked the number 7 ideology advertisement on Star sports. It seem Star sports copied the whole concept from another forum board and never gave any credit to them.
