This is appalling, the richest cricket board is not paying salaries to players who have generated so much revenue for the board. Players should take this issue to court.

Indian courts are useless. It takes around 20-30 years to get a judgement. One of my friends had a property dispute and after 25 years they had an out of court settlement to resolve the issue. If they had waited for a judgement, then it could have easily taken another two decades. Since overseas players are involved, I would advise them to go for international arbitration. Only such judgements can force the BCCI to make payments with due interest. Really feel bad about the players.. after all the hard work they end up unrewarded.
Property dispute are bound to take such a long time but, high profile cases do get over in a small period of time. Political case are the fastest. Anyways BCCI should have paid these players their due amount.

Generally banking infrastructure in developing countries are pathetic. For simple transaction like sending money might take couple of days or sometime more than that. Charges are also pretty high for transactions. In my opinion cryptocurrency will be beneficial to the general public in developing countries.

Since this incident came to light that Indian National Women's team is yet to receive the prize money, Brad Hodge came out and asked the BCCI about the money one of the IPL team owe him 10 years ago and how to proceed to get that money as he is yet to get 35% of the contracted money which is a fairly large amount of money $127,000
according to some reports considering his contract amount.

Will see how many players will pop up asking them to pay up that could literally humiliate the richest and powerful cricket board Grin.

The richest sports board in the world never makes a delay in the payment of their administrators, but here we have a bunch of players who have been waiting for a decade to receive their payment. I don't understand the mentality of these people. They need to understand that they receive their salaries just because these poor players put the effort in the field. I hope that the BCCI will soon clear the pending dues, with interest. BTW, why can't these players approach the courts?

Nothing new

In 2018 when Bitcoin tanked at that time also there were a lot of panic sellers. They realised their mistake in 2021. Now again as Bitcoin tanked these weak hands are selling, they will realize their mistake in the future but, for now Whales are enjoying.

People just don't realize if they sell they will be in loss but if the hodl they will be in profit.

The results do make sense though I would swap DC with CSK in the finals and RCB would end up defeating CSK to win their 1st IPL trophy. Surprising part is that MI would fail to qualify for the playoffs.
The RCB fans needs to simulate the entire tournament for them to win the tournament  Cheesy, it is a sad situation for them as they never won the trophy despite having some of the best T20 players in their team and they started well in this tournament but who knows whether that form will continue till the final stages of the tournament.
I will be surprised if they reach the finals  Cheesy.
Some say the league is a scripted one. I don't believe in it, but if you go examine the match scenario on different season finals everyone will get confused. Whenever Mumbai Indians win the trophy there arises a statement, finally Ambani had won with his money.

I'll be surprised if Mumbai Indians didn't reach the playoffs.
How can an entire tournament be scripted? People who say that have no clue what cricket is?

Yes, if MI won they do say it is because of Ambani's money. Indeed they are spending a lot on their team. There are other franchises who are not that rich like the Ambanis are, they might be spreading such t
rumors like this.
Those are rumours, but the league is initially created as a platform of promotion and not to provide opportunity for the young talents. With this there is possible chances of some form of scripting on matches. I don't state every match to be scripted.
I still doubt matches or a match can be scripted. This not WWE where everything is scripted. I have heard  and seen spot fixing or match fixing but never heard about scripting. I do not think it is possible in any sporting events.

First check mempool.space and then decide how much Satoshi you would like to assign for fee. As of now 15-375 sat/byte is the fastest. I generally use this website whenever I am uncertain with the fee. Highly recommended if you do not want your transaction to get stuck.

Lockdown is going on in India now. But the rural people of India do not follow the lockdown rules. So even after the government gave the lockdown, the virus infection is not decreasing. If BCCI had been more aware of the corona virus, this season's IPL might not have stopped. At the moment, there is no possibility of starting the IPL before the virus infection subsides.

Here the second wave seems to have plateaued. The number of infections per day are now in the 250K range, down from the 400-450K figures which we were having a few days back. But that doesn't mean that it is safe to conduct major tournaments such as the IPL and the T20 World Cup. Not just the rural population, but also a large part of the urban population has scant regard for law and they don't follow lockdown guidelines. For the remainder of the year, the situation is likely to remain worse.
It is just not COVID19 that is creating havoc but also black fungus. Almost all states have declared it as a epidemic and the situation is getting worsen day by day. I do not think that the lockdown will open soon in India. T20 World Cup will be rescheduled to a different destination if things go out of control in coming days because of the black fungus.

Those who are fans of the longer-format can watch country cricket championship (4-day) free on YouTube. Right now, the following matches are ongoing:
<snip>
A big thanks for all the county sides for making the matches freely available to watch. This is a boon for those who don't have subscription to Apps such as Fancode and WillowTV.

I don't think anyone has time to watch these matches and stay on youtube for 9+ hrs to watch these matches. Though it is a great initiative to have these matches seen live on Youtube.
I always heard about the county championship but now first time watching live.  Anyone here on bitcointalk interested in these matches ?

I cannot sit glued infront of my laptop or my mobile the whole day to watch County cricket. There are other things that can be done to pass time. If you are someone who loves sports and cannot live without it and then you should go ahead and watch it.

Binance is striving because it has been improvising. If you cannot improvising or adapt in this sector then you will fail. I do not think it will fail in the future because it has a leader who has been taking a calculative risk. I agree that it is centralized but at the same time, it is transparent too. DEX like uniswap has now become its biggest competitor and only the future will tell what it does next?

This has happened in the past Chinese government had banned cryptocurrency trading and it did cause a meltdown. People panicked at that time and they have again now. I do know Chinese hash rate is way higher and I think the market might have thought that such step by the Chinese government would hamper Bitcoin mining. That might be the reason for panic selling.

IPL hype died for me this year. I was excited when Tourny started but the way things went south drastically, a bit disappointed. Now i'm just looking forward to T-20 WC as last year it got cancelled.
Corona continues to wreak havoc across the world through different variants. Israel and Palestine are hell-bent on destroying each other. Felt like I was watching fireworks when I saw the missiles launched at each other.

Honestly, I am not hyped about any sport currently since it feels like World War 3 is underway which is why I am looking forward to sports events next year.

Indeed, no chance of playing any sort of cricket in this emergency, some countries are fighting with complex health system where Israel and Palestine clashes all the rage, which should not be accepted. T-20 WC should be postponed. India deemed too risky after IPL and India should focus on health care for now. I'm looking forward a better world.
What cricket has to do with Israel and Palestine conflict? Both nation are not involved in cricket and UAE is not affected by the conflict. COVID19 is the only reason why the cricket tournament is being reschedule at a different destination, preferably UAE. If India was able to control this pandemic then it would be business as usual for BCCI.
I don't know if Israel or Palestine plays cricket. Diplomatically, the UAE may be involved in the issue, but the war will not affect anything within the UAE. As soon as the infection of Covid 19 subsides, the cricket of all formats will start again. The Government of India should take appropriate steps to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. More than 4,000 people are still dying every day in their country.
That is tries alot of people are dying in India. There is a lot chaos and uncertainty, every state is now in lockdown and no one knows how long it will continue. In such situations cricket can be relaxing for some of us and cannot be for others. I was enjoying the IPL this year but I think because of BCCI's incompetence the tournament was stopped.

We are in a bear market now and it was long awaited. It felt like 2018 and when suddenly the market crashed after Bitcoin reached a new ATH. It is very hard to predict what will happen next. A lot of the present market condition is because of negative news. One of them came from China.

I think the market will take time to recover and if you can then possibly increase your portfolio.
4115  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What happens to a deceased account? on: May 21, 2021, 06:40:31 AM
I am curious to know what happens to a deceased account.
Does this platform have any way that a user will nominate who succeeds him in the eventuality of death?
If a Legendary dies with 8000 merits, do his legendary status and merits die with him?

There should be a way to maintain someone's legacy.
If not maintain, atleast transfer.
In companies shares are transferable and bequitable, can that work here.
I came to this consciousness when aiming at the longevity of this great forum
Why would that happen?
A BTT account is supposed to be private. You cannot sell it or transfer it to anyone. If one of the members is deceased then account will be consider inactive. BTT believe in privacy and therefore legacy of a private member will remain private.

CMIIW.

I did tried to use that wallet and when I'm swapping a BSC token, it is requiring me the BNB-smart chain. And that would probably be the same with Ethereum for ERC20 and TRX for TRC20 tokens.
All BEP20 tokens will require BNB-smart chain token to pay the fee without it transaction will get cancelled. Trust wallet is multi-cryptocurrency wallet, which means you can use it store almost all kind of cryptocurrency.

For ERC20 tokens you need gas (ether) to complete any transaction. For TRC20 tokens you need Tron.

If and when coinbase adds dogecoin to their platform, it will be good news for the dogecoin crypto community. This is a coin that started as a form of experiment or joke and now it is already on some of the biggest exchanges in the world and addition to coinbase will make it more available to more people around the world who want to purchase it
Yes, it will pump again as soon as it gets listed on coinbase, who knows it might create a new ATH this time. It has been pumping continuously for no particular reason or news but this news might help it reach the $1 mark. The joke coin might become the biggest news of this year if it reaches that mark.
4120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons DogeCoin coin flip Bitcoin in the future on: May 18, 2021, 11:13:02 AM
Dogecoin is a joke coin and I do not believe in jokes. I do agree Bitcoin does have issues but it is far better than the meme coin in every aspect. Just because a single celebrity is blindly supporting it does not mean it is the greatest cryptocurrency ever created.
