More bad news people.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/indias-white-ball-home-series-against-england-set-to-be-postponed/amp_articleshow/76974295.cms

Another big series has been postponed thanks to the insane increase in Corona cases in India currently. The boards will continue postponing these matches until the positive cases drop drastically which probably won't happen anytime soon.

It clearly states in the articles that it has been cancelled due to COVID19. In India this virus is spreading like a wildfire. Some Indian states have again placed lockdown in order to control the spread. All tournaments that were schedule to happen in India will get cancelled for sure.

There are reports coming out that the BCCI is planning to fly out their contracted players for a 6 week training camp and it will become official in the upcoming BCCI meeting on 17th and with that move we might even see the IPL being played in the UAE if they get the permission from the ICC.
Sounds good news to me.. is it only national contracted players or its includes IPL's players too (Domestic)?  

ICC doesn't have any say in BBL, IPL or any domestic league so their permission is just formality imo.

If everything goes well we might be able to see the IPL this year. The statement states "The BCCI is mulling hosting a camp in UAE for their contracted players". Contracted players would be domestic players and not international I guess.

What we’ve yet to know here, is how traffic is driven over to those two websites, whether it is by means of placing Google Ads with related keywords, through social media and such, or alternative drivers.

Same thought. OP has to find those scam sites one way or another, right? Still awaiting for a reply. I'm personally guessing that this is still advertised on Twitter though, using those hacked Twitter accounts with the verified check marks. Apparently it looks like those scams are still working for some reason. 🤦‍♂️

The websites are not opening anymore as they both have been reported. I am getting a safe browsing error on my browser when I am trying to access both the url.

Both Metamask and Google are blocking it.

Welcome to the forum

I also started with zero knowledge about this technology but with a mindset to learn and understand it. My recommendation to you is to go through different thread and find out what interest you.

My interest was Bitcoin so I have spent a lot of time understanding and learning about it. You can also do the same if you want to by visiting this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0
5225  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Coins vs Tokens - What's the difference? on: July 15, 2020, 09:02:48 AM
I will give my insights with the use of the difference of coins and tokens.

Coins are a independent operates in any platform. The example of the coins are :

  • Bitcoin
  • Bitcoin Cash
  • Ethereum
  • Ripple

Tokens are dependent that requires other platform to operate

Ethereum:
  • Tether
  • Chainlink
  • Maker

Binance coin:
  • WazirX
  • Elrond
  • Kava

Also you can visit the Coinmarketcap for more coins

Tokens :
Code:
https://coinmarketcap.com/tokens/ 

Coins :
Code:
https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/ 


In simple word Coins is an assets of its native blockchain whereas tokens run on those blockchains. Another way to identify a coins is check whether it is mineable. Almost all coins are mined except POS coins. Whereas tokens cannot be mined.
5226  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Now Legal In India? on: July 15, 2020, 08:53:43 AM
I'm so confused about India's idea about how they deal with the cryptocurrency, if they will legalize it or not.

They lack of affirmation whether they will allow people to use cryptocurrency or not.

Just like other countries, their decision towards cryptocurrency should be finalize so that it don't make any confusion or dismay to the people who are hoping for it to become legalized. Maybe their country is not that prepared regarding the proper regulation of cryptocurrencies into their economy. Probably, they lack of knowledge and experience in allowing it to regulate in the market that's why their decision is not that secured.

I though that they already adopted the use of cryptocurrency in the market on March this year.



yes they are already accepted Crypto last march but the  banking companies are still against the legalization for obvious reason since people don't trust them anymore and crypto is what  Indian people looking forward to have as investment and savings as well.

This argument will stay forever in India until the realization from the banks happen and they admit to adopt crypto instead of going against it.

The Indian banking system is the worst in the world. Most government-backed banks are in trouble as they have a large pile of debt because of bad loans and big scams.

Private sector Banks are also going through the same phase. With all this happening most investors are moving away and investing in the cryptocurrency market.

This has become a concern for the banks and they are now trying their level best to get cryptocurrency banned in India.

e-toro as per my understanding is a forex trading platform, when did they integrate crypto trading on to their platform?

I am not sure why anyone will use them to trade cryptocurrency? There are tons of cryptocurrency exchange providing the same service and are much better than them.

It is better to avoid such platforms.

^ I don't think BCCI will be looking to host IPL in country like Sri Lanka because they have always security issues due to inside war causes so BCCI will choose UAE if possible. But I am not seeing any news regarding cricket in local media for too long, that's why I thought IPL 2020 has been completely cancelled.
I am sure you wake up after many years because now Sri Lanka is very safe country and no security issues they already done some very good improvements in many fields and BCCI is not going to face any issue regard this but right now no one is sure about this because all things going in limbo until we are not sure about twenty/20 world cup announcement.
Not really, you can see even in 2019 there was a bomb blast in Churches and Luxury hotels.Still there are riots between two communities in SL so I don't think many countries will never allow their players to play on that kind of place.

If the government of srilanka puts adequate security measures then I do not it will be an issue. I think more than security covid19 is a big issue everywhere. Srilanka is still better place with less number of positive cases.



@pakitheboss according to the BCCI president it’s important to stage the IPL because 10 - 20% of the revenue is distributed among all the boards, and this I believe is a big hint for us that IPL will be organised soon (hint: all boards love money don’t they?). Although he was silent on the location it seems that the authority’s are narrowing it down to UAE, as IPL was organised out there in the past, hence I too feel that IPL will be organised in UAE only.

Yes I am aware of the revenue loss but considering the present situation where WHO has come out with a new statement that it is possible for covid19 virus to spread through air, plus the lack of ability to control the spread by almost all countries can postpone IPL this year.

Situation in UAE is not too good too

Not expected at all. I guess England is a way better team than West Indies. I didn't watch the match though; kept some update only. Lucky that I was busy with gambling on soccer onlym Otherwise, I would have lost definitely.
It is obvious England are a much better team but the main players was taking an extended break and West Indies was able to capitalize on the situation and win the first match which no one really expected, the major difference in this match was the way in which both captains played and the team they selected and crucial catch Ben Stokes missed in slips which was a straight forward catch off Blackwood, literally the dropped the match.
I think england was still with the best bowling lineup yes their batting lineup looked a bit novice but you have to praise west Indies as to how good they batted. Even west indies team Isn't a much experienced team so all on all i think west indies did play a pretty nice game. The way holder bowled is magnificent and how blackwood Batted in pressure conditions it was great too.
Looking at now, it seems England was bit over confident, that's a only reason they left Broad out. Sloppy fielding made it worse and didn't helped their cause. Blackwood batted well but English fielder gave him 2 chances by dropping his catch early on his inning (5, 20) result he and Roston Chase came up with 4th wicket partnership.

Broad and Joe root will join the playing XI in the next match. so we can hope 1-1 and then series decider on 3rd test match.

The way West Indies played the first match shows that they have come prepared. I am not sure whether these two players will give advantage in the next test but the way they played the first test they should now buckle up for the second test.

Those are SOP's for all kinds of viral diseases If we follow them then we will never get infected by any virus. Although it sounds easy but it is certainly very hard to follow them.

We, humans, are social beings we need to communicate, and communicating some times can cause us to get infected from a virus. We can't always follow them as we might tend to forget them once in a while.

At the moment since we are hearing a lot of negative information about covid19 we are following the set SOP but as soon as a cure is out half of the world will forget about them.

Thanks @BIT-BENDER for sharing and reminding us once again.
5231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are in a Bitcoin Rally, not an Altcoin Rally on: July 13, 2020, 07:16:23 AM
First of all please do not compare the Stock market with the Cryptocurrency market. They both are very different in a lot of aspects.

The second thing is that in what sense do you think Bitcoin is going up or there is a rally? as Bitcoin is still below 10k. Last time when Bitcoin was above 10k it was in the month of February this year.

Till today it is struggling to hit that mark, so I do not consider it as an upward trend but a sideways trend. What I have noticed after the halving is that Bitcoin is less volatile as compared to what it was before halving.
5232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 12, 2020, 11:14:21 AM
Last day of 1st test and no forecast of rain so far. 40 game points at stake, England need those points badly. Situation looking bit tricky for both teams as game could go anywhere from here.

For England perspective, they would be very happy if they can set target around 200-210 and Windies need to wrap up tail asap.

England : 297/8 .. 183 lead so far


Edit : 9 wicket down lead is now 189 193 runs

Edit: Target 200 runs.


Target of 200 runs is easy unless they lose early wickets.

By the way anyone betting on this match. Its time to look at the currents odds.


Last night I have very small bet then odds was @2.10 for West Indies win now just check its showing @1.66 good change.

200 run target can be easily achieved if West Indies batsmen play sensibly. It is not a huge score and therefore the odds have gone down. But, you never know till the match ends anything can happen in cricket.

Couple of days back BCCI official started this news by saying that NZ offered to host IPL but now statement coming from the NZC spoke person and he denies all the rumor by saying its just speculation.  Roll Eyes

New Zealand Cricket has not offered to host IPL 2020, says spokesperson Richard Boock


such an unprofessional work from BCCI.  I think they should be more careful before they publish any news. if New-Zeland host this IPL, I think it will be good.  because the prevalence of coronavirus has decreased in New-Zeland. on the other hand, it is increasing day by day in India. so, it is a difficult work for BCCI that organizing IPL in India.
The best i can think of is that some one from the BCCI planted this news for fun/purposely or just to feed media outlets so that they can keep up the speculation debate alive, it happens time to time for setting a narrative.

If this is true then BCCI has made a fool of themselves. Whatever they wanted to get from this news has backfired after Newzealand's denial.

Do people still fall for such scam. It is one of the oldest one if  Remember it correctly. I saw it for the first time way back in 2012. I thought of it and was interested but one of my friend told me at that time it was a scam.

It has been more than two years now and if I am correct no one has received this Airdrop from DFINITY. They have failed to launch their main net till date. A lot of people had payed $9 to complete the KYC.

I hope this does not turns around to be a scam as if it then it would be one of the biggest one related to airdrop.

Some things are not just clear, how can there be so much gap between the BCCI and NZ spokesperson statements where one said that NZ has offered to host IPL and NZ spokesperson straight away denied it. Also, some of the IPL franchise have started to lose the hope of having IPL in 2020 due to current situations.

Yes, how is this possible?
BCCI claims NZ board offered it and NZ board straight away denies it so, what is cooking between these boards? You will never know it.

By November this year, India will be at the top of the COVID19 list. Every day there is a new record on the number of patients getting infected by this virus. It will be next to impossible for BCCI to conduct IPL in such condition in India.
5239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 11, 2020, 02:04:47 PM
^Yeah, currently ENG is trail by only 35 runs. Both the openers were cautious about not losing their wickets and avoided unwanted shots while playing against the Windies bowlers and that helped them. If they continue the defensive stance for another session and try to put pressure on the Windies bowlers on the final session, maybe they'll get a chance to put more pressure on the WI batsmen on the final day.
@7788bitcoin, there is a good chance for you winning the bet if ENG plays through the day safely.

Now England leads by 11 runs with the loss of only 2 wickets. England needs to score more than 200 runs in order for them to be in a good position. But, if they continue losing wickets then they are in serious trouble. West Indies batsmen can bat England should know this by now.

I'm celebrating having good wifi after months of not having it by watching a lot of Netflix. I've seen a lot of stuff but am always on the lookout for a good show / movie.

Let's see, someone in the WO thread recommended The Platform not too long ago. I watched it, and it was quite good. To give you an additional idea of my tastes, I've also liked the following from Netflix:

Black Mirror
Stranger Things
Z Nation
Black Summer
American Horror Story
Rick and Morty
Trailer Park Boys

What else is out there on NF that I might enjoy? Movies or shows is fine.

I would recommend you

Dark
Stranger Things
Unsolved mysteries
Crown

All the above are my personal favorites. There are a couple of movies that you can also try.
