I really like the new look layout of the ANN dev. I also like the new roadmap for 2019 with some exciting developments to come this year, I'm glad that I have been buying AceD at below 1k sats for the past few months as I hope it pays off in 2019 once we start to see these developments and improvements to the current projects like AceD streaming and the AceD gaming hub. I'm also really looking forward to seeing the launch of AceD snap this year and I know there is a lot of other people waiting for this as well. I wish the AceD team and the community all the best for 2019, lets make AceD great!

Bad light has suspended play with Australia 6 wickets down for 236 runs and trail by 386 runs so Australia still need 186 runs to avoid the follow-on that's if India will enforce it which I suspect they won't and they will bat again even if they get the 4 remaining wickets quickly. Kuldeep has bowled well taking 3 wickets and has put the Australian batsman under a lot of pressure, he has a chance at taking 5 wickets with the way he is bowling right now.

Australia still have a good bowling attack however the Indian batsman have just outclassed them. Also India have been lucky that the pitches have suited them on this tour, this is why when I saw the schedule of the matches and where they would be played it suited India a lot. I knew the match in Perth would be better suited by Australia even though it was a new ground however the pitch was similar to the other ground due to the conditions in Perth. The other 3 grounds are suited by India which is why I said that this is their best chance to win a test series in Australia and also that Smith and Warner are out of the team. When touring teams travel to Australia normally the first test match is played at The Gabba which Australia have a very good record at and all teams struggle on this ground but this time around it was Adelaide which is a batsman pitch which as we know India have a better batting line up then Australia. All of this has helped India in a big way however I will say that Australia haven't really played all that well either and India deserve the lead in the series and most likely will win the series.

I'm not sure what the fee is for these sites, I believe they normally ask for 1 node or two to list a coin. Gentarium also has a shared instant masternode service which can also help AMS. I actually chat with one of the Gentarium dev team so I can ask him about the listing fee.

Yes 1k coins per block is nice however at the rate the price is going down we won't be able to sell any MAY when it comes to the 1k block rewards. I have said this many times in here that MAY needs another pairing whether it be LTC or Doge, we really need one because I can see MAY going sub sats.

Tsonga played well and as you said looked like the Tsonga of old. He deserved the win and may even go on to winning the Brisbane International, I'm very happy to see Alex de Minaur play as he did even though he didn't get the win. It will give him more confidence heading into the Australian Open, he might play in one more lead up tournament before then.

Now onto the Hopman Cup where Germany has beaten Australia and now go on to face Switzerland in the final. Its going to be a good final to watch as in the Men's side its young up coming talent taking on one of the greatest players of all time in Federer so I'm really looking forward to watching this later today.

Stellar is one cryptocurrency I have been buying as much as I can when I have some spare BTC. I just think that this cryptocurrency has a lot to offer in the long term and right now it is undervalued in my opinion so I will continue to buy and hold for the long term.

I'm one who isn't afraid to buy BTC or any other cryptocurrency right now as the prices are much cheaper now and when people are afraid to buy, its the best time to buy. This is what a lot of the big boys are currently doing buying as much cheap cryptocurrencies as they can before the next run. I have been loading up on as many of the top 50 coins as I can.

I was wondering if Kees would be interested in getting AMS listed on any of the masternode 1 click platforms such as Gin, Gentarium and any of the other platforms out there. It could help give AMS more exposure and also help with newbies wanting to set up a MN for AMS, some of the newer MN platforms sometimes have voting for free listings which we could try and get AMS listed on so what does everyone else think about getting listed on one or two of these platforms?

Yes Pujara has had a great test series and was very close to making a double century but fell 7 runs short thanks to Lyon taking a nice caught and bowled. India are now past 500 runs for the loss of just 6 wickets and this now shows that they really don't want to give Australia any opening at winning this test match. India seem to be taking their time so from what I can see they are happy for a draw as 500 runs is plenty as Australia has been struggling to even make 300 runs in their first innings. Maybe Kohli will declare once Pant makes his century and put Australia in to bat in the final hour of play to really put them under a lot of pressure.

I think it was a wise decision that Nadal pulled out of the Brisbane International due to his concerns with his leg injury he sustained last year. We have seen him before in the lead up to the Australian Open where he hasn't played in any lead up tournaments and then perform well at the Australian Open so maybe he will do something like this again. There is still a couple more lead up tournaments if he wants to get some fitness before the Australian Open so right now I'm not all that concerned as its still early, if it was just a few days out from the Australian Open then yes I would be worried for him but hopefully he will be okay to go once it starts.

Today we see two quarter final matches, the Raonic and Medvedev match and the Tsonga where he will take on the Australia young gun Alex de Minaur who is no push over as he had a break out year last year and looks to be Australia's best hope for the Australian Open this year.

It will be interesting to see what India do today, will they just keep batting for as long as they can or will Kohli bat until India reach around 450 runs and declare like he did in the third test match. Today will show us what strategy India are going to use, will they want to win the match or just be happy with a draw, we saw in the third test match that India wanted to try and win the match by declaring which some people on here thought might of been the wrong decision at the time but it turned out to be the right decision as India were able to win the match easily. Right now its looking like India will win their first ever test series win in Australia.

We haven't seen vegasguy for over 2 months now. He mentioned that he was getting a house ready for sale so I'm just wondering if he was able to sell it and then come back to working on VGS again. Like I have always said here, VGS has potential but I think it needs a dev working on it more often then what we have now. 2018 was a bad year for crypto as a whole so I can understand some devs taking a break from it all but hopefully this year will be much better.

Its been an entertaining game so far and I just hope there will be another goal scored before the end as I have my bet on over 3.5 goals for this match. I'm also hoping that Man City can get the win as I am a supporter so I'm hoping the next goal is from Man City but if it is Liverpool that score a late equaliser at least I win my bet.

Yes it does seem like the whole network is down as the developer run addnodes which are hard coded into the codebase are also now not working. I only had these addnodes in my conf file but since my wallet went offline a couple of days ago I had to get some addnodes from a community member in the discord. The dev could be away on holidays and doesn't know so I'm willing to give him some time to fix this issue.

Thank you lightlord, yes I have a very long history working with you and the Bitvest campaign.

Yes it won't be as easy as it was for Federer with the young talent coming through and challenging these older players. No one is talking about Novak Djokovic who has an amazing record when it comes to the Australian Open and I think this year he will be fit and ready to go unlike the past couple of years. Nadal may pass Federer in the Grand Slam count but I then think Djokovic will pass Nadal and Federer.

I'm a little upset with how this was all handled, I have been in the Bitvest signature campaign coming up 3 years now and I find out that there was a new campaign that I needed to apply for. There was no link to this new campaign in the old Bitvest campaign thread except that there will be a new manager taking over. So for the past week I have been wearing a signature for nothing as I thought us old members wouldn't need to apply again as we have been loyal to the campaign for so long. Is there anyway you can fit me in?

There is no doubt that Australia will be doing everything they can to level up the series and not give India their first ever test series win in Australia. I'll be interested to see how India play in this match, will they try for a win or be happy to just draw? This will be one of the biggest test matches in Australia/India cricket history and I can't wait for it to start.

It was a great day/night of tennis yesterday with Federer and Serena Williams playing against each other for the first time ever as Switzerland took on the US in the Hopman Cup. Two of the greatest players of their times facing each other was great to see. Switzerland won the mixed doubles match and have now won both their two rounds so far. Its looking like the Hopman Cup could be out of Germany or Switzerland.

Also the Brisbane International has started with many big names playing in this lead up tournament to the Australian Open. Murray goes through to the next round which was good to see, he said that he moved well and felt good and that he just wants to enjoy it as much as he can, for as long as he can because his not sure how much longer he has got. Kyrgios is also through to the next round with a 3 sets win against Harrison in which Kyrgios almost broke the world record for aces in a 3 set ATP match with 44, The record is held by Ivo Karlovic who served 45 aces in a 3 set ATP match in 2015.
