Aside from the general talk here about NBA teams how is your Teams's new uniform? Let me start the Minnesota's new nike jersey surprise me vecause it really looks plain and simple and they still have the blue and white and a lottle bit of green. But I really hope the 3rd and 4th Jersey will show more green and maybe black because the new jerseys really don't have any design on them compared to before in which they have trees as outline.

I haven't checked what will be the next uniform to be unveiled, but this last couple of years, uniform designs turns from ugly to worst. I hope we can see some team doing some retro design and will keep some old school in their uniforms. The 80's-00's uniform are simple but slicked, I don't like the modern design. LOL

The Cavs new ones are an improvement in my opinion but they need to get rid of the "C" and update it, the styles just doesn't match with the new font. The colors are ok but I don't understand why they insist with the navy color, I would much rather have the electric blue from the 2000s if it was because of a homage to that era. As for the Jazz and Clippers ones, I don't see a complete revamp but they certainly look much better and slick than previous versions.

The new TWolves are nice and a much needed change, I feel some identity was lost in the process though so I'm still not sure about them as a whole.

it represent shares in Lykke Corp.

Unregistered security. FIFY.
There is a roadmap "Regulation in EU/CH/US/UK", I wonder how you are planning to achieve it.


Lykke has a US team led by Michael Klena actively working on regulating all things Lykke in the US, with many licenses already waiting for approval after passing initial stages. So far regulators are very keen on working with new fintech companies. Of course we don't know what the future holds but don't fall for this recent SEC FUD affecting many assets lately, there are plenty of legitimate business that are 100% regulated, even in the US. I can name Gemini which operates in NYC of all places or even Ledger X recently.

Now as Michael himself mentioned many times the US has a lot of states with different laws, so the approvals and licenses will come gradually and progressively. Remember plenty of other projects considered securities never applied for a money transmitter license or registered anywhere and that's why the SEC is warning investors and may act on it if the trend continues but please don't throw everybody in the same bag.

Can we mine this project Lykke and what is the algorithm is used Also why it is called - Semi-decentralized Exchange on the Blockchain not fully decentralized?

Hello Bannedseller, LKK is not mineable as it represent shares in Lykke Corp. These shares are actually units of Bitcoin called colored coins (similar but not exactly as ERC20 tokens in Ethereum).

The exchange is semi-decentralized in a way that Lykke doesn't hold your funds (in BTC) like other similar companies, it uses a multi-signature wallet where you hold one key and the exchange the other. In case of a hack like Bitfinex or Mt. Gox you have a refund address that you can trigger and recover your funds. Let us know if you have other questions but I suggest visiting https://lykke.com/ where there's plenty of useful information.

I think Golden State Warriors still unstoppable next season. Maybe only 2 or 5 top NBA team as title contender for Curry and folks.
Anyone have created thread for 2017/2018 season yet?

No need, the OP will just updated the title thread to reflect the 2017/18 as what he did for previous years.

I just wondered who's player will be traded on line if Kyrie deal will be done here. Surely the players involved is worth to trade for Cavaliers to accept it, (unless it will be a three team trade). I doubt Riley will destroy their current set of main man roster just to be traded on Irving. Well who knows.

We really still don't know how this trade will go on. A lot of teams have been courting Kyrie and the GM wants to get the best possible option not only for the Cavs now, but for the future of the team. I guess the GM job is not easy after all. But I'm sure that Kyrie will be traded, there's no way that he will go back to Cavs uniform as the news is already out and he and Lebron can't mend and will probably be worst if they still don the same jersey for 2017-2018 season.

Yeah most likely it will involve a three way deal or more, as with other teams mentioned like Suns, Wolves and Knicks. The only team that may trade for Irving directly is the Spurs since they can deal Green, Aldridge or Mills for him and the Cavs will certainly take two of them straight up.

And I think Riley already have a decent team with zero all-stars, the East is easy and if they can add Kyrie and a couple of medium level veteran role players that can help him they will be back in the playoffs in no time with a decent chance to get into the East finals.

windows wallet available?

Hey Dimitry, web trading platform is currently in development and will be released in the next upcoming months. A web based wallet (I would guess in both trading and private forms) will be available and integrated similar as you can see in the app.

You can check other near term upcoming features including debit cards, new assets (Ripple, Litecoin, ERC20 tokens), limit orders among others here:

The action was great for the final 10-20 minutes, it was not better than some previous scenes in terms of photography and direction but how it all was scripted was great and very suspenseful. But *spoilers* it's clear to my "prophecy" is taking some shape, Daenerys already appeared vulnerable (and her dragons), she will die (a dragon or two eventually) in an epic fashion in my opinion, she'll be kind of a martyr the way Jon Snow already is. But I don't think Snow will take the throne since it's not who he is and Sansa is already comfortable there, or at least "learning the ropes".

I think this is most likely how it will all play out after some hard battles and casualties with the Night King and Cersei. Jamie will most certainly betray Cersei and also sacrifice himself in the process.

Miami would be a perfect fit for Kyrie, they've got good bigs there. Kyrie would be complete their missing piece.
yeah right if kyrie will go to miami he can be a big lift for them as kyrie wants to be star on its own and he needed some help out from promising young guns if ever this deal can be complete east would a much interested playoffs unlike with the previous season where we knew that cavs will still go and
advance to the finals.
Miami Heat has a good coach, despite the fact that there are not stars in the team they were still able to compete with great teams and they almost made it to the playoffs last season, they had a good point guard already and I don't think Kyrie will make a difference when he will land in that team.
Kyrie Irving will lift the Miami Heat for sure but the real question is can he lift it enough to make them contenders? For a team having a nice center with Hassan Whiteside and a good SG with James Johnson I just think that it will be enough until they reach the 2nd round of the eastern playoffs. If he really wants to be a star then joining Miami or even Knick could be the trick for him.
There's a lot of things that is going on to his mind now, he will not be the star in a team that does not really do well.
Spurs is only the best team he should be and he need to accept that leonard is the star there and he cannot replace that, even parker know how
good leonard is and IMO he is as great like Durant, Lebron, and Westbrook.

I think Miami is one of the only destinations where Kyrie can make an impact right now and make it a contender since the East is so weak. He won't be doing that alone though but if Miami can make another deal and bring a couple of good role players it might. I don't know why he mentioned Miami as a destination other than the city/climate (and no LA?), maybe he knows something we don't and Riley has a plan for him and others. He did it once and he can do it again now that Wade's out.

The Wolves, Suns and even the Spurs have it so much worse than the Heat with the Warriors on their path so that's definitely an advantage.

Tezos gonna keep all the BCC for themselves?

Yeah... plus they have also sold few ETH before 1st August

just imagine the amount of profit they would have generated

66000 BTC = 66000 BCC

and if they have sold BCC for 0.2BTC then total they got 13200 BTC for free..

I think what they are doing is correct, hedging themselves and rebalancing their capital for the long term of the foundation (I thought they would be selling a lot more than they did already). This bullish period doesn't seem to end so it's hard to predict and speculate (they sold ETH at the lowest point in recent weeks...) but it's still the right thing to do in order to secures the finances for the long term and going into fiat and more stable investments like bonds, stocks and precious metals.

Remember Ethereum almost ran out of money (it was during a much darker time in crypto and they raised a lot less than Tezos).

What if I forgot the password of my Tezos wallet?
Can I retreive my coins using a Private key or something?
Cheers

I don't want to scare you but I have read that you need your password along with your private key of course and there's not a way around it.

Now you shouldn't panic and contact the team because this may be to claim your Tezos at an earlier stage, I would suppose eventually you would only need your private key similar to other projects but I'm not sure how it works in this case.

You forgot to mention something more recent and verifiable, Irving couldn't even led the Cavs when Lebron was out during these last years. The Cavs record when Lebron missed games is atrocious to the point that it's even on par or worse than those older campaigns. Kyrie is not a leader that's for sure but he's trying to carve his own path, he's very young and I'm sure he can do it but he hasn't proven that yet.

Oh that's right why I missed it lol. One of the good example here is the Cavaliers worst record when Lebron James is out of the court. It was also being discussed this recent season because it was really noticeable that Cavaliers aren't playing well without (only) Lebron James.

But then things must changed now because Kyrie will surely left. And like I said, Kyrie must prove it's leadership next season to avoid taking criticism too much.

Something must happened internally with Lebron or who knows because I think he should have stay at least one more year. There's a strong case saying that Lebron will leave next year so that way the Cavs would be in full rebuilding mode (maybe forever if Lebron leaves again). Now it's all up in the air and the Cavs have to find a good trade for him without a lot of time or assets.

But well, we can't blame him, his heart is already elsewhere, he wants to start something on his own and he already won a championship. To me that's pretty respectable compared to Durant decision for example...
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: August 03, 2017, 09:22:48 PM
@DIA7
You have a nice thoughts there. But may I know where sources it came from? Or just an own analyzation of yours?

He wants to be the man on his own team, and that is impossible to happen as long as he is alongside Lebron. 2018.

Kyrie is forgetting something if his goal is to lead a team.

He must remember that Kyrie owned Cleveland didnt make it to the playoffs even at 8th spot for years before Lebron James arrival. They suffer worst record for many season and you can't blame his teammate here because they are not the only one who have the worst roster on the East back then.

Ok let's see then. If he think he can lead a team now after those years then he must prove it to avoid critisicm.

I love Kyrie as a Cavs fan but I remember those days and you are absolutely right. Granted the team was lacking a lot of talent with Waiters and Thompson (who were terrible back then) and roster full of unknowns.

You forgot to mention something more recent and verifiable, Irving couldn't even led the Cavs when Lebron was out during these last years. The Cavs record when Lebron missed games is atrocious to the point that it's even on par or worse than those older campaigns.

At the end of s07 Daenerys and Jon will be In bed together.
Maybe that's right and hope it happens at the end. Seeing from episode 3 so much awkwardness and selfishness when they first met. Is that a preliminary mark? Can not wait to see the white wolf next to the dragon's mother

Jon's real name is Aegon Targaryan son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark. The flashback of the wedding of Jon's parents is shown
It's more interesting, I just found out about this that Jon has a Targaryen lineage

It has not been official but more heavily implied with the flashback which was pretty obvious, from what I know in the books is the same, it doesn't say it downright but it's implied. I think the actual revelation (to everyone, even to himself) would come after he is lit on fire and we'll all realize he can't burn like Daenerys haha, I'm pretty sure they will go that way and Daenerys will be the one figuring it out.

I still maintain that it will be Sansa which to me makes the most sense and makes for a nice overall arc. Daenerys will most likely die along the way while Jon Snow will be hand of the king or something like that (he will ride a dragon too!), perhaps even let Sansa take the throne instead of him.

According to ESPN , the Cavaliers have received as many as 20 offers from teams interested in trading for the All-Star, but what the Cavs are asking for in return is far more than what teams are willing to give up.

"The Cavaliers want a package that resembles the 2011 Denver Nuggets-New York Knicks deal for Carmelo Anthony -- young players, win-now veterans and draft picks, league sources said. For new general manager Koby Altman, this is a textbook way to open trade discussions. But for now, most Irving suitors are using the Minnesota Timberwolves-Chicago Bulls trade model for Jimmy Butler, a scaled-down model of Melo's rich return of assets."

I want to see Kyrie Irving playing for Minnesota Timberwolves, I'm seeing that he will good at their management or any with other teams. As long as the confidence from him before will be back and he's the one to announce it.

Yes. Kyrie Irving will be a good addition to the Timberwolves. But what Minnesota can offer in return? I think its logical for GM Altman to really get a good players out of a trade involving Kyrie, regardless of team. That's why I agree with the article. If Altman can get quality players that will fit the Cavs roster, he will easily deal with it. But so far my theory is that as many teams wants to court Kyrie right now, but the offer is not worth to bite for now.

Agree, the Wolves to me are the most likely destination for Irving because of Butler and how much they want to play together. However I also fail to see what the Wolves can offer to the Cavs. Unless they package someone like Wiggins to another team and make a three way deal I don't see any other way.

With that said, the Suns with Bledsoe and others could be added into this. I can see the Cavs getting Bledsoe and another role player this way.

This is quite a dilemma. Kyrie's a top tier player but i don't think the wolves would be able to send wiggins or kat and jimmy would probably not be good enough for the cavs unless there's another with him that would be an upper tier as well. Obviously it won't be good if next season kyrie's still going to play with the cavs so cleveland may have to settle for an unbalanced trade

I think the Cavs getting Bledsoe and someone on that level (Wiggins, KAT, etc) would sign that trade in a second of course but I doubt that will happen. Most likely the Suns will get Wiggins, the Wolves Irving and the Cavs Bledsoe + someone from either Suns or Wolves and maybe a pick. I don't know I'm just speculating with the TWolves being involved, maybe they are not but there's a reason Kyrie included them in his destination teams.

As I said, to me there's already a deal in place with the Suns, not sure what involves but Bledsoe is coming to the Cavs along with another player or two.

Hey I'm not very familiar with Maid but technically you can as with a private BTC wallet you can control your own keys and that's the only thing needed to store Maid in a Bitcoin wallet but maybe tempus know a little more than me.

Melo will most likely go to the Rockets, it just makes more sense. Cleveland can get Melo in a similar way they got Rose, cheap and with a 1 year contract without much more compromise than that but giving up pieces or a big salary at this stage it would be foolish. Not only Melo is past his prime, he's also playing the PF position, one that is already dominated by both James and Love.

Now I can see how he can get back into great playing shape and revive his career at Houston. CP3 can definitely play to assist both Harden and him, they could average above 30 ppg easily.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: July 30, 2017, 01:48:23 AM
Kyrie Irving to Los Angeles Clippers...

Carmelo Anthony to Houston Rockets...

These are only of the few teams that will have a surprising new lineup. The competition in the West really getting tough. Hope that Spurs will come healthy too. I want to see a difficult road for super team GSW to prove they are really a super team.

#rumors

Irving to Clippers would be a nice addition for that team but from recent rumors they seem to have backed down from it. Irving would certainly help a lot of these teams (except the Spurs) mostly in terms of revenue not wins. I'm talking about Suns, Knicks, Clippers and Heat.

To me there's already an agreement for Bledsoe but it includes a rookie or two in the deal so they are waiting for the deadline to be able to do it.

The Cavs are looking to contend for a championship still, they wouldn't trade Kyrie for a rebuild.
The Cavs ain't gonna rebuild for as long as Lebron is playing for them. They are surely going to maximize whatever they can get out of the Kyrie Irving trade request. Many suitors are lining up and laying down their proposal and it might only be a matter of days before a deal is consummated between Cleveland and whoever they choose as dance partners. All this time I thought it was Kevin Love who'd be the first to go among the Big 3. Turns out he might stay longer in Cleveland than Kyrie, or even Lebron.
You have a great analysis on a certain thing sir! This is true the cavs cannot rebuild the team itself with LeBron in it. They need some backups, not all star, JUST BACK UP. LeBron does not need some best player in the league, he needs good supports on his monstrous offensive plays.

Exactly right, the Cavs won't start the rebuilding process now, that will only happen if Lebron goes to another team (maybe next year but not this one). So in most of the rumored trades, while I think it would be wise to acquire some up and coming talent for this eventual situation I don't think they are aiming to getting either Josh Jackson or the guy from NY.

Now, I think like I said in earlier messages that they should aim for getting something more than Bledsoe and Melo for Irving.
