^ 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

But, is better than India.

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.

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.

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.

When ever you come across such it's a total scam, it's never real to begin with, it's just a fake good news to lure you into a trap, do not bother to read

The fact is people who make it big aren't always ready to share news about how they do it

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.
5252  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.

Space mining is going to make a lot of today's children trillionaires. 



Yes if he lives longer then he will surely become the first trillionaire, he has already revolutionized space travel and in couple of years he will be starting space tourism for everyone who can afford to travel to space.

What would be the girls thinking right now after knowing this?
Those girls that tried the invisible challenge.
You're right, Hopefully they don't spread does videos of the girls in the invisible challenge. They should be worried by now thinking what if it spread. I couldn't go out if that happens to me.


I think people who use TikTok will still use that app because maybe they don't hear about the news, so they are not worried. But if they know about that, I think they will stop using that app, and they will move to another app. Once TikTok doesn't have a big fan, the apps will reduce the popularity and lose the chance to get more members.

Those who are interested in sharing everything about them to China will certainly continue using it. If they stop now it does not matter because China already has your data.

The best way to find out whether TIK TOK is capturing your data or not is just by installing a VPN on your mobile. After VPN is installed TIK TOK still will deliver videos from your own country and not from VPN countries.

i was surprised to find out recently that tether has actually blacklisted significantly more. there are dozens of blacklisted (frozen) addresses totalling ~8 million USDT. https://twitter.com/PhABCD/status/1281054838172848128

I presume most of that is straightforward theft more than anything, as quite possibly the USDC one is too. Some are theorising in that Twitter thread about there being something wrong with the addresses themselves but I know zilch about ETH and wouldn't think that was possible. Nowt would surprise me though.

Whatever is the reason it is still possible for them to freeze your coin. You cannot justify such activity with a legal angle. I always felt the whole concept of a stable coin is a scam. Tether has been printing it for a long time just like fiat. 
5258  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Visiting official websites and download official apps, not fake ones. on: July 11, 2020, 10:49:10 AM
I actually do google for official website when I want to get the site or install some software, but I don't just click on the first google result, instead I look at mentions of it from multiple sources and check that they all lead to the same address.

It's actually easier to verify the more popular sites, because they will be mentioned by other sites a lot, so despite all the phishing, you'll easily find the real one, but with some less obscure things, it's hard to find even the references to them. For example, it's hard to find a legitimate cracks for software by googling and nearly all results will have malware, and you'd need to get to some specialized forums to find links to relatively safe cracks.

It seems so wrong that a phishing/ malicious site could actually rank better than the original if that ever happens.

Usually those "top" results are from Google Ads. I fell for it once and shit, it was scary af.

Ranking such websites only require Black Hat SEO, they will rank fast but as soon as Google discovers them they will get banned. Still, if they rank on the first page for just 48 hours their job will be complete as many fools will open their links without even noticing the URL address.

Therefore always check the URL of a website before downloading or uploading anything.

Since you are using WordPress as CMS on your website you can use a cryptocurrency payment processor plugin on your website to accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

You can add GoURL plugin, which is free on your website to accept cryptocurrency payments. More details can be found here.
