So for coinlist its random investors chosen and theres no way to get more priority over others to buy the private sale tokens?
No there’s no way to get more priority than others. The sale mechanism ensures users placed in the waiting room are given a random spot in the queue when the sale starts. Users who arrive late to the sale will be placed behind those in the waiting room. From my experience securing an allocation  is very difficult because demand is very high. The site is usually congested on sales day and it takes a longer time to login.

You have to patiently wait for your turn, there is no guarantee that you will be able to invest in a project of your choice. There will be a lot of instances when you will miss out. It is just like a lottery system, investors are chosen randomly and not first come first. Coinlist still is better than the other launchpad available in the market. It is better to be an early-adopter than an investor nowadays. Think for the long term goal and not the short term.

I was shocked to see the performance of South Africa. They lost the second wicket on 166 runs. Yet they have lost this match. There is no good finisher batsman in their team. The way South Africa started their innings, they controlled the whole match. Yet they have been defeated.

Considering the SA team to be new still, they played good. SL has been winning continuously all their tournament. They are boosting with confidence, this is a good sign considering most of them will be part of the T20 squad for the Worldcup. Two more matches left in this tournament. Not expecting a lot from the SA side but I also do not want SL to win all the matches.

Patience doesn't work perfectly in test match. Game condition will depend on the pitch and bowlers skill. Both teams has struggled with their batting lineup in day one. England has already lost their three important batsman who played nicely in the previous test. Malan and Craig Overton should make a good partnership tomorrow otherwise England team will struggle to make a good total. Though the betting odds is still in favour of England but I think it's going to be a competitive test match.
If batsman is able to stay on the ground for a long time, he could change the match and for that he needs patience and the modern day players lack that patience and only a few possess that now and they are rare breeds Grin.

Root their most trusted player is gone and they needs to find someone to rescue them and the first one hour determines whether India will be coming out to bat tomorrow or the match length will be longer. I was surprised with the changes in the Indian team as they changed their bowlers as they are the only ones that were performing.

Indian scored only 191 runs and after 3 wickets down England only trail by 138. Day 2 can be different, as English batsmen only need to create a good partnership. Yes, England has lost 3 important wickets but they still have a lot of wickets in hand. If they again repeat their performance then the Indians will lose this match too.

This is a lame theory now, New Zealand was over confident that they sent a weak team, when Australia toured Bangladesh this year and not that long ago in August, they had the same fate as they struggled miserably against Bangladesh and you think that the New Zealand selectors were sleeping when that happened  Grin.

 New Zealand sent the best team possible and they struggled against Bangladesh and full credits to Bangladesh for showcasing that kind of dominant performance rather than sugar coating the pathetic performance of New Zealand by saying they were overconfident in sending a weak team Tongue.

The excuse being given is that they wanted to give chances to a few youngsters before the squad for T20 world cup is announced. But if backfired on them. There is no issue in giving chances to younger players, but that doesn't mean that they should be used as cannon fodder. One thing that surprises me is that hardly any of the visiting teams are playing warmup matches nowadays. Is this due to COVID restrictions? It takes some time for the players to get adjusted to the conditions, and for that warmup matches are required.
This is just a practice tournament. Do not get over excited with this win. The main match will happen when the T20 world cup will commence. If Bangladesh can perform the same way that they have with Australia and New Zealand then they will be a team to reckon in this Worldcup. Btw, amazing performance by the Bangladesh team.

Sometimes, I wonder how you guys do it @OP, how you arrive at the fact that, merits is the most importance in just few hours.


You registered this account not up to 2 days ago and somehow, you've figured out why you must earn merits even though you claim not to have knowledge of what it really is. It sounds kind of rhetorical to me, you've already identified the ranks that matters and all. The newbies we have these days must all be geniuses, you make your first post and boom, its about merits!

Anyway, given the benefit of the doubt, I would suggest you go for a more less guides on how and actually gain knowledge of the crypto field and forum. Merit matters only to the forum but beyond that, its useless. The knowledge you might acquire here on the other hand, it goes beyond forum, it even applies to investments and daily lives. They are that practical so, you could be seeking those and the merits would find you.

Redefine your concerns and you just might start getting a hang of the forum.

I am sure OP was recommended by his friend or his family member to join BTT for earning purposes. That is why he came straight to the point of how to earn merits. Newbies nowadays join BTT only for one sole purpose that is to earn money. They forget that they need to first learn about cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin and then slowly they can rank up the ladder in the forum by staying active and helpful.

What if for the next match India give rest to their 2 seamers (Ishant + 1 more) and include Ashwin and Thakur saab?
No changes in the batting order and inclusion of Ashwin and Thakur might able to do some damage control because our middle order is not in great form and Pant is looking dim too.
Jaddu, Ashwin, Thakur batting at number 7,8,9 looks okay.
England paid the price in the second Test match when they let go of the tactics and Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami took advantage of that situation and changed the match around and i doubt they will do the same mistakes again. If the top order fails there is nothing the tail end can do. We might see some performance here and there and the bowlers are performing well and the batsman has to put runs on the board.

I would like to see Ajinkya Rahane getting rested and India giving some new talents the opportunity to make their debut but the talks going on is that Hanuma Vihari will get a chance and Ashwin will be playing the next game instead of Jadeja. It would be great if they give Suryakumar Yadav to make his debut and i am expecting him to be an asset in the team by the way he performs in other formats on a consistent basis.

The match starts today, there is a high chance of Ashwin being part of this team and Jadeja as well as Ishant will sit throughout the match. The weather and the pitch will also play an important part. I do not want the rain to ruin this match. The team winning the toss and batting first will have a higher chance of wining due to the rain forecast in London.
3827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card bans introduced in Ireland. on: September 02, 2021, 12:06:07 AM
If they are banning credit cards, what about debit or prepaid cards? They have also not mentioned anything about payment processors and how the ban will affect the use of those. A workaround (unless patched) could be to upload money into Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, or some of the other instant payment processors and then send those funds to a casino/sportsbook.

Basically are banning borrowed money, that is what I understood. Both Debit cards and prepaid cards use your own money so there is no need to ban them. This is good in a way that you do not fall into the debt trap. This is in a way protecting is protecting Irish gamblers from the debt trap but those who have already lived in it will not be happy with this new rule.

Fantasy cricket not being considered as gambling is a huge gain for those behind these two apps. Being under aged and still able to participate is a big issue for online gambling platforms. Noting can be done unless they make KYC mandatory. BTW, do these fantasy cricket app ask their users to go through KYC or not? Most South Asian countries have made KYC mandatory.

As far as I know, cash deposit in fantasy cricket (in India) can be done only through bank accounts or using debit/credit cards. So there is no need to do KYC. None of the sites allow deposits in the form of cryptocurrency. So the government may tolerate them up to a certain limit. Also, these brands (MPL, Dream XI.etc) are heavy donators to various political parties and therefore they have good relationship with the politicians. On top of that, the government badly needs the tax revenue from such activities.

The government would not consider them illegal but, they are promoting gambling. Yes, you are right these guys might be contributing a lot to political parties that is why they are able to operate without any issue. I also believe that such apps are opening doors to another kind of gambling apps. In the near future, many more will operate without any issue.

Ashwin will be the best option available because of his experience. Another important aspect about Ashwin is that he can bat down the order. You cannot depend on Ishant for batting down the line. I still think India will not go for any changes in the next match but depending on the wicket they might.

I have never played fantasy cricket but I have heard it is very interesting. Some apps do allow you to play in demo tournaments for you to understand the concept. I still do not understand how can these apps be legal in South Asian countries where gambling is banned? As per my understanding, most of these apps are promoting gambling. Does anyone know what loophole are they using to show them as a legal entity?

Fantasy sports is not considered as gambling and that presents a loophole in countries where proper gambling is banned. And this is also one of the reasons why fantasy cricket is so popular in South Asia. The other legal avenues to gamble are not available, and therefore the gamblers flock to sites such as MPL and Dream XI. But recently the media have been critical of fantasy cricket. They claim that it is just like lottery and a lot of people have lost their money after getting addicted to it. They have strict requirement for participants that they should be aged 18 or above, but sometimes the participants use fake information to gain entry.

Every God damn IDO platforms are a pain in the ass to participate in their presales, too strict and 100% based on luck I don't like the idea at all, my advice is invest your money on NFT projects instead, they are skyrocketing liken crazy, I have 1000 PYR that I bought for 2$ each now it's 5$ per token, do your own research


NFT is overhyped at the moment so, if you want to cash the hype then do invest. But this hype will not last long and anytime the bubble will burst so be cautious. If you still want to go with the IDO platform then I would suggest you concentrate on only one or two platforms. Your are dealing with more than three platforms therefore you are missing out. Shift all your amounts from these platforms to any two of your choice and then give it a try.

It is hard to tell just by reading your topic, what your friend might be doing with the borrowed money?

If he is doing day trading then he might be a pro to make a profit in this volatile market. At the moment we are in a bear market and it is very hard to tell when the bull market will return. I am not sure why did he commit to you the Bitcoin price would pump by December this year. No one has been able to predict when Bitcoin will pump. I would recommend you to wait till December and then question him if he is unable to deliver what he promised.

I have never been into Fantasy cricket but i have heard it from some of my friends. Do we have have to invest in the game to earn the money and normally how much  person can earn from this on an average.
You pick a team of 11 players and if they perform you earn points and picking the captain and vice captain of the team is important because if they perform you will get double the points. There a ton of apps that provide fantasy cricket and i did participate in the past during world cup match and it was fun and you need to shell out some money, first spend small amount and understand the concept and then go for bigger amount if you are confident.

3835  Local / Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India) / Re: Got scammed by localbitcoins trader Prateeketc. Help required on: August 30, 2021, 12:24:04 PM
Myself shahid from mumbai. I had an old stash of btc with me which i wanted to cash out. I choose to deal from localbitcoins. Since i did not have a verfied account there, i decided to contact a trader and execute a deal outside of localbitcoins.

I first contacted "Abidhussainf" but our times did not match so i went ahead and contacted another trader who goes by the id "Prateeketc". I contacted him on his whatsapp number  8217331774. He replied quickly and we dealt without escrow for Rs. 20000. Since the deal was successful, i decided to proceed with another deal of 50000 INR to which i sent him around 0.015 btc. He assured me that he will send me the funds in 10 minutes after which he went offline from whatsapp and even blocked me on calls now.

I got in touch with the local police station today who refereed me to cyber crime bran to register a case of fraud. They have asked me to submit his details asap. If anybody here has any details about this person kindly let me know.

Also it would be great if you guys please suggest me what other option i have to recover my amount
Unfortunately, there is absolutely no chance that you would be able to recover your money, if you have whatsapp chat and some details of that person you can lodge an FIR against the person in both civil as well as criminal law. But I am not too hopeful that they will help you in tracing that person, try contacting local bitcoin support if you can get any identity details of that person, also try to request police officers or even offer kickbacks to get the details attached with the phone number he is using because if you can find him chances are you will be able to recover the money

Every seller or buyer on local bitcoin nowadays has to go through KYC. I do not think the OP is telling the complete truth. He himself might be a scammer trying to find out loopholes by posting this topic.

Op did not use local bitcoins escrow service, therefore he is responsible for his loss. Local bitcoin will not provide any information to him as he never used their platform. Op cannot do anything here and do not believe in what he is saying as he might be either a competitor or a  fraudster. Did he provide on this forum any link where we can see the FIR he raised?

Another thing is his first post and he came to Bitcointalk asking for a solution. Where there are many forums to do the same, he also did not mention it in his post.

I would recommend everyone here to ignore his post as he might be a scammer.
3836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 29, 2021, 10:20:27 AM
India certainly need some changes in their batting order and inclusion of Ashwin in the playing 11 is also needed. I feel Jadeja must be sent to bat ahead of risabh pant. Most of the cases we see jadeja running out of partners his batting has improved a lot and i feel he can be given more responsibility with the bat now.
The complete batting order was a failure in the first innings. In the second innings except K L Rahul, Rishab Pant and Rahane most of them scored. Rahul won't be replaced and I think either Pant or Rahane might be dropped. It is a possibility that no changes are made to the batting order.

It is five match series. The second T20 is scheduled to take place tomorrow. The match will be interesting to watch, because the winning have boosted the Zimbabwe team to play better cricket. Ireland on the other side makes careful decisions and stable move, because a win at this level is a must to take advantage on winning the series. If this match gets lost, the pressure to win keeps rising and the same diatracts the performance.

I watched the Ireland innings in the first match and have to say that they deserved to lose. The batsmen were very complacent, especially after the first wicket partnership between Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling. The remaining batsmen wanted to finish the match quickly and went for useless shots. The Zimbabweans were patients and restricted their bowling to good line and length rather than trying something funny. And they got rewarded for it. Just 5 runs were needed from the last over, and the Irish batsmen couldn't even manage that.
They still have 4 more matches to play. It is a  possibility that their attitude changes from next match onwards. Zimbabwe has been playing a few matches before this tournament, that is why they are playing better than the Irish team.
3839  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin = 100k by December on: August 29, 2021, 03:19:49 AM
The possibility to get to $100k is still very wide open, we can see now BTC is gradually approaching that value, but if for this year it may be too soon, we need to wait some more time to see if there is more positive news on BTC that can emerge. only BTC will reach $100k faster and it will make a lot of people benefit if they have bought BTC when the price is low.

Bitcoin reached a new ATH of 65k in the month of May this year. I do not think it will reach 100k this year. It will surely reach theirs by next year. Considering at the moment we are in a Bear market, if it was not the bear market then it would have been this year only. Although no one has been able to predict the Bitcoin price, my speculation is based on its price history. If history repeats itself then it would be next year when the price will go beyond 100k.

India losing by an innings didn't surprise me at all since their batting has been unpredictable in this match. Robinson absolutely demolished them. However, the most entertaining part of this match was this.

https://youtu.be/wsIq3dBH6nY

Jarvo is seriously something else. He improved the entertainment quotient of this particular test series in my opinion. Crazy dude!

I still had that slightly feeling that they might be able to draw this match. Another humilating defeat has been added to Kohli's cap. The first innings was a disaster. Two more matches left, if India wants to win this tournament then they have to win both of them. I doubt that will be possible considering the form of Indian batsmen.
