Still it will affect due to the players walking on the pitches, so days passes there will be no grass but better have something other than nothing that is why they choose one stadium to play this tour.

The matches may be held at the same ground. But there is a chance that different set of pitches are used for them. As far as I know, most of the grounds have 2-3 pitches and the curator usually prepare 1-2 additional pitches in addition to the main one. If that is the case, then the concern about the surface deterioration doesn't make any sense.
I am not talking about the deterioration, imagine the pitches were too close to each other so infield players will walk and run over their while fielding which could do some damage to it so it may not act like a fresh pitch even though players were batting on different pitches.

I am sure they will be taken care of by the ground stuff. Good thing is that the matches are still happening at a time when most matches are getting cancelled.

Wow, one month festival, never thought that a festival could last one month as i am accustomed to Carnevale, Pasquetta and Christmas, but the matches in IPL just last around 3 to 4 hours and they can stack the day with the rest of the programs as the matches actually takes place at night. I really enjoy participating in these events rather than watching it in television. I read the wiki page but i am more confused now as it says it is a festival of several other religion.  
Festivals in India are usually celebrated for several days to weeks. Diwali isn't a month long festival. It lasts for a couple of days and people around the world call it the festival of lights due to the epic fireworks basically which is why people from different religions participate in it.

Certain festivals last for a couple of weeks though. 3rd world countries like India go big on festivals primarily during the 2nd half of the year. Diwali plus IPL basically equals fireworks!

Yeah you are right festivals are big in India.

This time it will be double bonanza, the regular festival and at last IPL 2020 and for a month staying at home will be fruitful.

Didn't expect IPL to happen this year which is why this news surprised me. UAE are taking a big risk here just for the sake of financial incentives and I hope the tournament starts and concludes smoothly without any issues due to COVID.

Since you are so concerned of IPL being organised in UAE I think you should watch this video - https://youtu.be/UM1XegvglO0

If I am correct then UAE is the only country that is open to tourism. IPL will conclude smoothly without any issues.

Looks like another series might get postponed to 2021.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/14-day-quarantine-puts-india-australia-t20i-series-under-scanner/amp_articleshow/77124390.cms

COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc. It still seems that there is a strong possibility of the series happening this year based on what I read, but the 14 day quarantine makes sense overall.

What can you expect in these situations?

Mandatory quarantine will claim 14 days and then when will they play? You have to follow the SOP for covid19 to prevent further excalation.

The last and final test between England and WestIndies will be played tomorrow. This match will decide who is the winner of this test series. The win is important for both the teams especially WestIndies. It will be a big achievement for them to win a test series in England, provided they are able to do so. In about 5 days times, we will see who will take away the Wisden Trophy.
After the second match performance by England I doubt there is any chance that West Indies would be able to survive against them. They have their men back. Even Archer would play the next match and hopefully Anderson too. So the bowling would become even more interesting and difficult to choose from. And yes stokes as we have already seen is on fire so I expect it to be a one sided encounter.
Weather is very serious threat for next third and final test if its interrupted then surely West Indies is going to be in good otherwise its surely going to be one sided affair for England because now they have main bowlers set and Stokes form is also very good just need 1 or 2 batsmen to stay on and give good response.
Yes, i read an article there is a 82% chance of precipitation on the second day of the match. While 60% chances of rain on all the three days thereafter. Manchester or I should say Whole England has the problem of rains in this season. So no one can do anything about this. But lets see England took the match even when more than 50 overs were ruined by rain. I expect a similar performance today.

The chance of England winning this test match is more than 50 percent after their brilliant performance in the last match. With the rain the match can also end in draw. I personally do not want to see it ends in a draw as this match will affect the series too.

Youtube's inability to stop these scams had led to this sue. Other celebrities should also follow the footstep of Steve Wozniak. The number of scams using celebrity names has increased a lot on Youtube after the Twitter incident.

Such incidents are tarnishing the reputation of prominent celebrities and also the community. In my opinion it is the responsibility of the social media platform to control and keep a check of activities happening on their platform.
5188  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Illegal mass adoption on: July 24, 2020, 04:53:52 AM
Wot. This dude managed to get some kiosks in freakin malls without a business license? I'm not even mad, that's impressive.. impressive how the malls have been so careless to the point that they conducted business with some dude without a license.

I really don't know what this dude was thinking though. Did he really expect to not get caught? I would understand if he did everything online, but we're talking about physical bitcoin ATMs. Literally thousands of people pass by those ATMs by the daily LOL.

The term illegal means using unlawful activity, providing forged business licence also fall under this category.

I am pretty sure he might have also shown forged business license to the managers of these Malls plus a small percentage from the revenue generated by the kiosk.

Without the involvement of bribe and commission, you cannot operate illegal business so easily.
5189  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might never reach it's ATH anymore on: July 24, 2020, 04:45:03 AM
Every day a growing number of influencers will come up with a new ATH, not to forget the crypto media analysis. It has been three years now and every day there is someone who has a new theory or a prediction.

Those Individuals need to stop and if not need to rethink their strategy, speculating the price is neither helping Bitcoin nor promoting its adoption.

In my opinion only adoption can help Bitcoin reach new ATH.

Without the tranx Id, it would not be possible to analyze the problem. With the transaction ID it will be easy to locate where exactly are the Bitcoin. If you have the transaction ID then go to Blockchain.com and check whether the Bitcoin have already reached your wallet. If it has then contact your wallet support with the details.
5192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin sites - Alexa ranking on: July 23, 2020, 11:02:31 AM
I'm suprised that the first place isn't bitcoin.org neither bitcoin.com, but blockchain.com:
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/blockchain.com

Blockchain.com ranks #3641 in the global internet engagement.

Others:
btc.com (#9837)
bitcoin.org (#9942)
bitcoin.com (#11033)
bitcointalk.org (#14174)
blockchair.com (#14438)
bitcoin.it (#44283)

Website ranking cannot be determined on the basis of traffic by a third party like Alexa. Only Google can determine it and if you want to check it then you have to use Google trends.

Google trends use search data and each data point is divided by the total searches of the geography and time range. You can use Worldwide filter to determine global search data.

Alexa is no longer used to determine the global ranking. The data they provide is completely incorrect.

The gold issue is under investigation and it nowhere related to cricket. I do not think that will be a problem as Indian government has good relations with UAE.

The proposed ODI will get cancelled as all other series have been in the past by BCCI.

The BCCI is planning to conduct the ODI series (against South Africa) in the UAE right after the IPL. They need the government permission for that. As I said earlier, I have suspicion that the Indian government may be a bit skeptical about allowing the Indian national team to play at Sharjah, but then the prospect of earning good amounts of tax revenue should swing their decision.

Sharjah is known for all the wrong things that happened in the past in Indian cricket. IPL being very lucrative can attract again those controversies. The onus will be on BCCI and the government will blame BCCI for any wrong doing. Why will then the government stop the tournament.

Of course money is main reason that is why BCCI has decided to conduct the tournament in UAE and that will be the same reason why government will allow it.

Great list indeed. I consider Kallis ahead of the rest of them even though the statistics put him behind a couple of them considering the fact that he played in recent times when Cricket as a sport got more competitive.
I hate comparing players of different generations and the old legends listed here played the game of cricket because of their passion for the game and not for the money but you cannot say that it was not competitive back in the day as there were no protection for any batsman and the bowlers were ruling the cricket ground but now the opposite as there are many rules and restrictions that favors the batsman and it is a major difference and i can bet the players right now will not play if there were no helmets or body guard and bowlers were targeting their head.

As long as they are playing and are professional players they will be compared regardless of their age. They will be only called legends after they retire until then they are part of cut throat competition.

Comparision also help younger players and new talent to shine. If the comparison is stopped there will not be any reason for them to create new records.
5195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 23, 2020, 10:24:57 AM
They are trying to limit the time window and the travel requirements in order to ensure the safety of the players.
The travel requirement is intense and they will quarantine you where ever you go and it is a smart move by the ECB to have a location for the matches but what happens to the pitch, it will deteriorate if they are playing all the match in one ground, no idea how they will be dealing that as i always thought pitch preparation takes month.

Quote
all of the ODIs against Ireland will be played at Southampton. Earlier they were planning three different venues. Similarly, all the 3 tests against West Indies are being played at Manchester and Southampton

As mentioned by @bryant.coleman the test are being played on two different pitches and the one days will be played on the same ground. I do not think it will hamper the pitch as, there is gap of few days after every match so it won't be a big problem.

nice platform, now i think we have an alternative to coinmarket for token price and information tracking. good features that will make people want to use the platform. i will recommend it.

There was always an alternative to CMC known as Coingecko.

Yes, another alternative that we have now. I am happy to see that there is no longer a monopoly in ranking projects depending on the marketcap. You can now check three different websites to find information about a particular project.

5197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Few questions about decentralized projects and fake volume on: July 23, 2020, 10:09:34 AM
1. If a project is built as a fully decentralized platform and team meant to keep it that way can the project survive with dex exchanges only?

2. Decentralized projects that end up listing on centralized exchanges, how does that sounds? Are they truly trying to make decentralized really decentralized? Or breaking decentralized.

3. Do all exchanges uses fake volume? Few people believed that even those top exchanges we like praising are using fake volumes as well.

I will love to go through all comments, thanks

1. What is important here is that the project is decentralized, the token or the coin can be traded on both exchanges.
2. Trading is different a decentralized project can be traded on any exchange for the betterment of the investors.
3. No not all exchanges show fake volume. For example Binance and Coinbase.

As far as I know, the options for changing the current theme will be available when the new bitcointalk forum has been published. There is also no existing design other than the current theme we're using.

I have been reading about the new Bitcointalk forum software being published in the future, where I can I read more about it? and does anyone knows when will be done?

Telecom giant of Argentina got hacked, what a shame? They either need to hire a good cybersecurity firm or they have to pay the ransom. The amount that the hackers are asking is considerably huge. This incident will surely plummet the stock market of Argentina. Economically the country is already struggling and after this incident, the situation would go worst.
