Navdeep saini was give an opportunity in the recent series with NZ. I won't say he performed badly but he can improve more. IPL will help newcomers to cement a seat in the national squad but the competition is so fierce that you do not get a lot of chance.

The Indian selectors do give opportunities for younger players in the T20 side every now and then. Navdeep Saini was lucky, as he got opportunity to play a few ODI matches as well. The real problem is that there are very few open slots available in the national team. Only when some of the regular players get injured the youngsters are given chances.

Relax!!!
They are playing just fine they are trying to built up a partnership. Plenty of overs left nothing to worry. They only need good five overs to correct the duneate. The score is well within the reach. South Africa needs a good partnership at this stage.

Hmm.. perhaps you are right. Both of them tried to push up the run rate after I made my post, but Jon-Jon Smuts got out during that attempt. The Australian captain has brought in his best bowler (Pat Cummins) and he is trying hard to pick another wicket. South Africa is looking comfortable now, at 95/2 after 22 overs. The advantage is with them currently.

It surprises me that many of the posters here don't know basic mathematics. It is not the unit price that matters. In cryptocurrency market, it is the market capitalization that matters. And in that regard, Bitcoin is far ahead of the other coins. Take the case of fiat currency as well. For example, one Kuwaiti Dinar is equal to 3.27 US Dollar. But no one would believe you if you claim that KWD is more powerful than the USD.

IPL might rejuvenate many players like Hardik, Dhawan, Chahar, Bhuvi etc which is why it might help many returning players in a big way.

Sanju Samson is one player who has performed exceptionally well in the IPL, but failed to do the same while playing for the senior side. As you pointed out, there are others such as Hardik and Dhawan, but they are like regulars in the national side. This edition of the IPL may offer great opportunities for players such as Navdeep Saini, Khaleel Ahmed.etc to cement their place in the senior side. Anyway, there is extreme competition for the limited number of available slots.
4685  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Indian Govt. Lifts ban on Cryptocurrency on: March 04, 2020, 04:33:30 PM
The heading is wrong.

The ruling came from the Supreme Court of India, and not from the Indian government. Also, the ownership of cryptocurrency was not banned in India previously. The ban prevented banks from dealing in cryptocurrency or allowing bank accounts for the purchase or sale of cryptocurrency. So it was more of a "banking ban" and it is removed with immediate effect now.
4686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk PSL T20 Pool and discussion. on: March 04, 2020, 04:26:17 PM
The match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars was going on nicely and it got interrupted due to rain. Islamabad put up a huge total (198/3) and it is going to be an uphill task for LQ. One thing that I have noticed so far in this edition of the PSL is that the foreign players are having a disproportionate impact (especially on batting). For example, 83% of the Islamabad runs were scored by the overseas players (Ronchi, Munro and Ingram). During the past matches also, I noticed the same pattern.

Of course this year will not be like 2017. I think it is obvious. But I agree with the creator of the topic. I also hold some opinions, because they are very good and if 2017 comes, there will again be many more investments, then the projects will expand. Then who knows, maybe one of my coins will take third place in the top)

The market is looking dull right now and I don't know whether we'll have a repeat of what happened in 2017. But even if there is a bull run, the new coins are likely to lag behind. Back in 2017, there were a lot of immature users, who pumped a lot of cash in to new coins. And many of these coins became worthless in 2018-19. Investors learnt their lesson then. They are not going to get trapped again.

I don't know what is going through the minds of Janneman Malan and Jon-Jon Smuts right now. The required run rate is almost 6 runs per over, and these guys are scoring at a rate of around 3 runs per over. And the funniest part is that the spinners are bowling right now, with leggie Adam Zampa and left-armer Ashton Agar going through the overs quickly.

KYC in cryptocurrency is much different from the KYC that we have in other sectors. In cryptocurrency market, KYC involves sending the scanned copy of your passport or national ID card to relatively unknown people who runs exchanges and promotes ICOs. In many cases, these documents end up on sale on various dark markets, such as the Dream Market and the Majestic Garden.
4690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Sad News]: Nigerian shot dead after resisting robbers access to crypto phone on: March 03, 2020, 03:28:01 PM
This is why we should never tell anyone about our cryptocurrency holdings. Not even my close friends and family members know that I own cryptocurrency. Now this strategy has its own risks. For example, if something happens to me, then the wallet will become inaccessible and the coins would be lost forever. But compared to the risks if my coin holdings are publicized, I would rather choose this.
4691  Economy / Economics / Re: In the past where taxes were honoured ~ on: March 03, 2020, 03:21:06 PM
I really doubt whether handing out rewards would do the job. The main problem for tax payers now is that a section of the UHNW individuals are able to find loopholes and avoid paying their dues, while an uneven burden falls on the shoulder of the remaining people. Also, many of them are not comfortable in the tax money being used to wage wars and other wasteful expenses.
4692  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't hate long term promotions on: March 03, 2020, 03:14:01 PM
I'm here to talk about bounties with long duration, I know we all have our experience with short term bounties and long term bounties but I have come to understand that it doesn't matter, here is my own experience
 Last year I promoted E3T bounty project for 4weeks duration and I earned 30$
In 2018 I promoted Airwallet for more than 14 weeks and I earned over a thousand dollar

Durations doesn't matter, small duration bounties can pay high rewards and long duration bounties can pay worse rewards, it's all vice versa, what matters is the quality of the project you promote

I have 3+ years experience here and I would say that your post is BS.

I don't have any issues in promoting a long-term campaign. But there is a precondition though. The campaign manager should give a guarantee about the reward, or even better he should make a small prepayment in advance. Very few of the bounty campaigns are ready to do this and sadly, that means that we need to ignore any campaign which stretches for more than two months.
4693  Economy / Economics / Re: Can corona virus or any other epidemic disease can collapse Banking? on: March 03, 2020, 03:07:34 PM
If the Coronavirus causes a global pandemic, then the economy is going to get adversely impacted. But at the same time, I don't think that it is going to impact the banking sector in a disproportionate manner. Anyone remember what happened during the 2008 economic recession? The banks were impacted quite a lot. But they rebounded within a couple of years.
4694  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Other Coins Halves too on: March 03, 2020, 03:00:33 PM
Because of the approaching halvings Binance now offers to convert your cryptocurrencies into BCH, DASH or ZEC.

DASH has technically no full block "halving" but rather a block reward decreasing by 7.14% every ~383 days.
This year around 2020/04/27 15:25 is the estimated reduction date/time ( 55 days, 6 hours, 24 minutes ).
More detailed info: https://stats.masternode.me/network-report/319079

I don't know how much of a boost Dash and ZEC are going to get as a result of this decision from Binance. It is one of the largest exchanges out there and we can expect a lot of impact. But both these coins have performed rather poorly for the last 1-2 years. And this has happened despite them showing a lot of promise during 2017, when the bull run was ongoing.
4695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 03, 2020, 02:39:33 PM
India is a male dominated society, at least when compared to other nations such as England and Australia.
What does it even mean Roll Eyes.

What I meant was that the gap between men and women at professional level in India is much more than what you have in England or Australia. Recently, there have been a lot of progress, but you will find very few women in management boards, politics, banking.etc. Sports is also not immune from this. Women's sport normally does not attract much viewer interest in India (although we have exceptions, such as PV Sindhu in badminton, Sushila Chanu in hockey and Sania Mirza in tennis).
4696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens when everybody buys the bottom ??? on: March 03, 2020, 02:28:03 PM
buying at the bottom is one way to get big profits when prices rise later. but it also depends on the liquidity of the token because that will be the main factor as the trading volume increases and the price can also go up. some success, but some failed because they did not get a good trading volume and eventually just died.

And how are you going to calculate the bottom price or the fair valuation? Cryptocurrency is different from equity, where you can easily calculate the fair valuation by doing calculations based on the EPS and P/E. There is no minimum level for cryptocurrency. Theoretically, it can go down to zero, as the prices are purely determined by the supply/demand equilibrium.
4697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: March 03, 2020, 02:10:26 PM
The Thailand women had a memorable match today, but they were really unfortunate. Batting first against Pakistan, they made 150/3, with the first wicket stand between Nattakan Chantam and Nattaya Boochatham putting in 93 runs. Given the fragile nature of Pakistani team, I am sure that Thailand would win the match. But unfortunately, it rained and the match got washed away. Feels bad for Thailand.
4698  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Cash A Better Crypto To Invest? on: March 03, 2020, 02:01:46 PM
There is a lot of bad blood here in this forum against Bitcoin Cash, for reasons that are very well understood. But from an investment point of view, I would say that it is one of the best cryptocurrencies to invest in right now. I invested in BCH a couple of months back, and I am already in 25% profit (unrealized). The BCH support team is quite robust and they are taking care of the development without any delay or infighting.

Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators today, and QG has won the toss. Lahore will be batting first against a bowling attack that consists of Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Fawad Ahmed and Tymal Mills. They have one of the most explosive batsmen in T20 franchise cricket (Chris Lynn), with in form batsmen such as Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez to support him.
4700  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BOUNTY PAYMENT MATTERS on: March 03, 2020, 01:48:42 PM
Will it be wise if this forum put up a request that ALL NEW PROJECTS EXPECTING TO RUN BOUNTIES SHOULD PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUNDS BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY BOUNTY OR run an ESCROW.

I have been saying this for quite some time now, and unfortunately no one is willing to listen. Thousands (I'm not exaggerating) of bounties have scammed the participants and till now tens of thousands of bounty hunters have gone unpaid. Being a bounty hunter is the most unrewarding role in cryptocurrency market right now. I am glad that I am no longer doing any bounties. Had enough and made the exit in 2018.
