Hamas is a designated terrorist organisation and such activities they have been doing when cryptocurrency did not existed. Unless the owner of a wallet does mistake it is not that easy for anyone to hack a wallet. This is why people need to be first educated about cryptocurrency.

I wonder! What kind of money was invested by this businessman which resulted in such a big amount. I am sure the police department knows the answer.

Listen, politics is always going to be a big problem in teams like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan.
And it's not going to be changing anytime soon. We have to accept that fact.
And most of the time it doesn't matter who plays better, there is certain favoritism going on in the team selectors' minds.
Agree with you here about this statement because we have no solid domestic setup which bring some natural talent and give better leadership lessons here mostly groups and personal likes and dislikes have more importance rather than merit and good policies handling Kohli issue is very poor from BCCI and now having some big troubles around them for having better replacement is another headache for them, so they need to do things in positive way currently just Rohit Sharma is capable for handling this all KL Rahul is failure in short term, so they need to set him for some time and then bring some better and long term policy for this all otherwise they are going to have bad time in next few months which can hurt them badly.

Right now the best way for BCCI to get out of this situation is to hand over Rohit Sharma the captaincy and maybe in that way India will perform better and these types of talks would be over.
And I do not understand what is up with these boards who seem to be absolutely unable to conduct with players properly.
I think just because Rahul lost the first series under his captaincy does not mean he should be replaced by Rohit Sharma. He should be given another chance. I agree that Rohit Sharma has proven in the past that he can captain the team but it doesn't mean you should chuck someone out as he was not able to win the series. Players are to be blamed as it was the team that lost and not the captain.

Looking to write articles or content for you.
Charging 0.0009 btc (0.9mbtc) per 500 words. Please let me know.


What you are offering is something unrealistic. According to the present market conditions you are offering $30 USD approximately for a 500 words article. So for a 1000 word article you would be offering $60 approximately.

What I want to know is that is this amount in BTC fixed? Another thing that I would like to know is that is this amount already escrowed to a third party wallet before someone starts working for you or the total amount depending on the number of articles you require have been escrowed? As in my opinion the amount you are paying for 500 words sounds too much.

It would be greadt if you add clarity to your post.

Dhawan have given good start and the same is being continued by the performance of Kohli. The winning percentage of India has increased to 57% and the next two wickets is much important for South Africa to turn the match towards their side. As of now 138 runs required from 123 balls with 7 wickets left. This looks like a winning match for India.

The game is very much balanced now as India need 120 runs in 17 overs. Good thing for SA is that kohli is gone and India now has 6 wickets left. One or two wicket here may tilt the game towards SA. India need runs and don't wanna lose anymore wicket.
I doubt that India is well poised in this situation. India has already lost 4 wickets and if you remember the previous games this team batting order have collapsed. I am sure it will be the same this time unless someone from the lower middle order does something thing different. After this tournament one thing is sure KL Rahul will lose his job as a captain.

I think BSC is more centralized than Solana. Still people are investing in different projects running on BSC and some have given higher returns. Solana is still in development phase, it hyped because of a few NFT projects. Untill the NFT craze fades away till then you can expect it to pump. At the moment since the whole market is in red therefore the price is falling.

There is still a lot of time for the next IPL. By that time, the situation of covid variants will be clear. If the virus is outspread in India at that time, most probably it would be better to delay the IPL rather than to play it without the international players. Secondly, i am not worried if the Indians were not able to play well in this series. They will regain form in the next series for sure.

Right now India as well as most of the other countries are witnessing a huge spike in the number of COVID cases. And if the projections come true, then by the end of next month the spike will end. IPL is scheduled to start by the end of March, so I guess there is enough time for the BCCI to arrange the tournament. But as we have seen on several occasions for the last two years, it is very difficult to predict the course of the pandemic. New waves appear in the horizon whenever there seems to be a lull in the number of new cases.
The increase of COVID cases are experienced all around. Within India slowly the restrictions and Sunday lockdowns were getting importance. There is decline in the cases in some zones whereas to experience a complete relief out of the pandemic won't happen anytime soon. This means people are getting adopted to the pandemic and are moving the life forward. So, this time there is very less chance for the IPL reschedule.
IPL won't get rescheduled this time as the third wave peak is expected to come by February and after that cases will be very less. IPL is scheduled in the month of April by that time things will be very different. This time only few states are reporting COVID cases compared to last time where every state was facing problem. This might be because some states have already achieved 100 percent 1st phase vaccination for the required age group.
3388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 23, 2022, 03:09:23 AM
Such leagues are beneficial for players like Gayle, Afridi who retired from international cricket or players who are not playing international cricket for some reason. I can't recall how many leagues are going on right now, this is badly disturbing international cricket. It seems like future lies in these leagues and little room for international cricket.

If fans want to watch international cricket, then no one will stop them. Franchise cricket is gaining ground, because international cricket has become a joke nowadays. Even the recently concluded Ashes series was extremely one-sided and England narrowly escaped from being whitewashed 0-5. In franchise cricket at least we don't get these sort of one-sided matches. If given a choice, I would rather go for the BBL or the BPL, rather than undergoing the torture of going through a Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe or Australia vs Bangladesh match. 
By the way England lost another match and this time they lost it from Westindies. England is playing a 5 match T20 tournament with them and they lost the first match. Same problem the English team is unable to bat they only scored 103 runs. Jason holder took 4 wickets in this match for Westindies. This tournament might again turn out to be one-sided.

Why are you focused only with these two? There are better option available in the market. All of them are at a heavy discounted rated in the current bear market. Ripple please do not invest in it as there is a pending case still with SEC. I would also not recommend you to invest in XLM not much happening with this coin too.
3390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the potential of the Polygon? on: January 22, 2022, 09:54:28 AM
No one can predict the price but this project can give you returns in the long term. ATH of Matic was $2.92 and therefore when the Bull market is back you can expect the price to again reach the same amount. At the moment the price of Matic is down by 47% so if you want to invest now then this is the right time.
3391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 22, 2022, 09:45:14 AM

Surely they have not good time because it's happen after SENA defeats but never mind because now Sri Lanka is coming and after them Australia is also having tour with this all many players will be back in good form at home and give some extraordinary performance because nothing is good then home.

Pujara and Rahane is also going to shine against Sri Lanka and with this performance they are going to have spot against Australia with someone already mention in above post these Senior Players having some good hold on things which are happening in team, so I am feeling there is no good chance for new emerging players for having spot in team but their dedication and love for sport can give them some better result in near future because every thing is going to change.

This is worrying sign for Indian cricket that they are very easily defeated by SA team who was no way a match to Indian team. India defiantly will perform best at there soil since they have ideal conditions there. India really need some backup of there mandatory players like kohli,  Pujara and Rahane. If these players have backup then they will focus on there game which is not the case right now.

The Indian team is going through a very bad phase same result in a different format. I never expected them to lose so easily if they bat well then they will bowl bad and vice versa. 287 was not at all a bad score but the Indian bowlers were not able to take wickets. Malan and De Kock were at their best once again. They both are the reason why South Africa are now leading this series by 2-0.
3392  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Gas Fee is too High? on: January 22, 2022, 08:33:37 AM
It has been a year now or maybe more that Ethereum gas fee has bee pretty much higher. The main reason for it is network congestion.

Congestion  means: There are too many transaction happening on Ethereum network which the network is unable to handle. At the moment Ethereum ecosystem is bigger than the blockchain itself. The higher gas fee is beneficial for Blockchains like BSC, matic and solana and this is one of the main reason why they are getting popular.

Did anyone watched the new song of Charlie Puth. The song name is Light switch he created a hype about this song using tik tok before releasing it on YouTube. A great way to market a song in today's era. At the end of the song video he makes a purchase us $100 worth of Bitcoin. With 18.8M subscriber and more than 3.8M views in just 24 hours. It was indeed a smart marketing strategy for Coinbase. Not to forget they also promoted Bitcoin.

I came across this post How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V in the forum, Which brought a question to my heart, is it better to use the website to download any wallet or exchange application for Android (as it is a normal thing to use for desktop/laptops) or use the Google play store which is now said to have some applications that hijacks clipboard and changes the address to the hijacker's address and when the transaction has been executed, nothing can be done to cancel the transaction (which is normal)?
First Cryptocurrency Clipboard Hijacker Found on Google Play Store
A cloned MetaMask away from the original is now a victim from the Google play store.
It is said that
Quote
The first attack method the app used was to attempt to steal the private keys and seeds of an Ethereum wallet when a user adds it to the app. When BleepingComputer analyzed the app's APK file, we found that the app contains information that can be used to send this stolen data to a Telegram account.

How can we ignore these kind of hijacking/malware application as it is now a threat to those who mostly uses Android phones?


That is why it is always recommend to store cryptocurrency in a cold wallet for long term hodl. Another important information that has been informed through various post on this board is to avoid Google Play Store and visit wallet website to get the download link. Also always ensure that you are visiting the correct website by checking the url. Always keep your mobile device update and donot install unnecessary apps.

I knew this from the very start, they might say that they have to build consensus or hold discussions but one fine reason for this is Elections also, the government doesn't wants to pass any controversial bill before the upcoming elections obviously.

Yes, that is another reason why they might have postponed the bill as the UP election determines who will rule the centre and the ruling party does not want to take any risk here. They have just delayed it for now and by this year-end, they will pass this bill. I hope they work on the recommendation provided by the exchanges.

Quote
It's not really much of melody I feel, it's already too late for India to not bring any framework around cryptocurrencies, a legal framework for the regulation will make things much more clear for new businesses, also it will give people a lot of confidence about investing too. It's obviously good that they are not deciding for an outright ban, but I think they should legalize it soon so that businesses can actually take advantage of it and can make India their new home.

We are still lucky that the government of India is still thinking about regulation. Look at our neighbours they have banned it without even thinking what they could have been achieved from it. Most of our neighbours are struggling with their economy and some are on the verge of collapsing. If they would have considered or worked out a solution then things would have been different.
3397  Local / India / Crypto regulation bill may again get postponed. on: January 20, 2022, 09:40:13 AM
In the upcoming budget session of the parliament crypto regulation bill may again get postponed as the government wants to hold more discussion and build a consensus on regulatory frame work. In view of that the Indian crypto exchanges are now setting up self regulatory code of conducts. More details can be found in this article.

For airdrops you can check coinmarketcap.com but the chance of winning is very bleak as there are a lot of participants. You can also visit the child board bounties in this forum for airdrop, here is the direct link - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

Do your own research before participating in any airdrop or bounties as there can be scam projects listed on that child board.

For ICO and IDO information you again check coinmarketcap and Coinlist they have some good projects listed.
3399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 20, 2022, 09:00:11 AM
India will definitely try there best to win this series but its SA that is showing exceptional performance in this series. Indians were favorite for this series but the Kohli/BCCI tussle is badly hurting Indian cricket team performance. India don't have good bilateral series record at SA, it was expected India will
change that record this time.

I don't know whether the ongoing dispute between Kohli and BCCI has anything to do with the poor performance of the Indian team. During the last match, it was the bowlers who failed to perform. Captaincy tactics from KL Rahul was not up to the mark, as he refused to provide any opportunity to Venkatesh Iyer to test his medium pace. Shardul Thakur was going at a rate of more than 7 runs per over, and at this point I thought that Venkatesh would have done a better job. Just confirms my view that Shreyas Iyer is a much better captain, when compared to Rahul.

I do not think the ongoing dispute is the reason for India's loss. South Africa really played well in the first ODI. They had lost very quick 3 wickets but an amazing knock by Rassie van der Dussen was the primary reason for India's loss. Another reason is that India's lower middle order also collapsed very quickly. If Thakur hadn't contributed his 50 then India would have lost the match by a big margin.

In 2022 mobile phones are very much secured as they have multiple levels of security features. The only drawback I think with mobile phones are people tend to lose it more often  and like computer devices they can be hacked. A lost phobe won't affect anyone who has created a backup of their Bitcoin wallet. But, a hacked phone can be of concern. Therefore hardware wallet and paper wallet are recommended as they fall under the category of cold storage.
