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.

West Indies should capitalise the start they have got it . They are in good position and tomorrow will be an important day in the test match beacuse if WI does not take a good lead and England bounces back and bats well then it would be an interesting match and if WI can take good lead then England will automatically will be under pressure as then they will play to save the match .
No one can predict about West Indies as they are one of most unpredictable team in cricket today was belong to them but if England bowlers done some good bowling then surely they can fight back as West Indies have to go for last fourth inning and its never been easy for any team weather is also troubling but one thing is sure now we are watching some good and interesting match for next few days.

Its no surprise for me as I said I liked the WI a week before the match started as we need to remember that both teams haven't played cricket for months and that even though the match is played in England I still think it will be even due to not knowing which team will be in form. The WI have done a great job so far and I am hoping they continue on with it and get the win as I have a bet on them to win the first test match. Also last time these teams played the WI played very well so they have shown that they can match it with England.

This is just a surprise performance from west indies players and they shown a great commitment to the match. This is not easy to leave your country in the pandemic and then give such a brilliant start in the first test match which is played after so many months. Not only their bowlers performed well but also their started batting good in the first innings. Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope should take the team to 100+ runs to make the position of WI more strong in this match.

WI only trail by 142 runs if they do not lose any more wickets then I am sure they will win this test. Great commitment by the WI ballers to restrict ENG for only 204.

UAE also got decent amount of corona cases but they are good at controlling by giving good regulations but still Do you believe that it is possible to host IPL 2020 successfully?

Honestly I already lost the hope of watching IPL for this year, now the whole country is afraid of covid 19 effect in the near future.
Yeah, 99% chances (Without spectators; question is where?). I have mentioned numerous times that IPL is first priority for BCCI because its their lifeline. They don't have any other choice, so only 1% chance of cancellation. The way i see it, BCCI waiting for official confirmation from the ICC in regards of T-20 World Cup cancellation. Once they cancel WC, then we can expect some quick action from the BCCI.

I might be dead wrong on my calculation when giving % number in favor of IPL/BCCI here but that's make sense to me right now when i look at the big picture.

Just in ... Asia Cup is cancelled, says Ganguly
~edited out~
This is really sad to know that finally Asia cup is cancelled and now it will be held in 2022 in Pakistan. All this is being done to make the IPL possible as Asia cup schedule was conflicting with the IPL. If Asia Cup 2020 postponed due to Covid-19, there should be no way PSL or IPL could take place at the same time.
Yeah, No Asia cup this year. saw some confirmed news of cancellation as well, now they are looking at 2021 Asia cup in Sri lanka. We could argue if its ethical or not but fact is everything comes down at revenue so its shouldn't be that surprising.
2020 is the worst year for sports almost all tournaments are either getting canceled or getting postponed. Already six months have passed in this dreadful year and every day you only are hearing is bad news. I am skeptical, whether it will be possible to conduct Asia cup in 2021 if the pandemic situation is not controlled by that time.

How did you analyze that Dogecoin will go to $1?

Have checked the max supply of this coin? If not then check it on CMC. It can never go to $1.

Tik Tok did pump it and it might pump more but wait for few more days and it start dumping the price point that you are seeing now.
5265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: 5 cryptocurrency exchanges where you can stake cryptos & earn rewards on: July 10, 2020, 09:40:59 AM
Good article no doubt about it but the question is why do you want investors to use crypto exchanges for staking purposes. Whereas we have been told numerous times in this forum that keeping a good balance on crypto exchanges can be very risky unless you are planning to do a trade.

Why not use your personal wallet to stake cryptocurrencies. I am aware of three and I have listed them below.
  • Atomic Wallet
  • Exodus Wallet
  • Guarda Wallet

All the above-listed wallets are non-custodial wallets and are available on both desktop and mobile devices. Exchanges are not at all secure. This biggest example on your list of unsecured exchange is Binance. It got hacked last year.

The last time when Dogecoin pumped was in 2017 and now after three years and only because of a viral Tik Tok video it has pumped again. There are so many dogecoins lying in the wallets of individual owners without any use and suddenly these owners are happy now after a pump of more than 50 percent.

The amount is not small it is a big amount that has been frozen. I am sure this address must have been used for some illegal activities or scams. Why will it be frozen by the centralized authority without any reason? Let it be investigated and within a few months we will know what exactly was happening with the sum of Money?
5268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ChainLink - Sell or Hold for some more time? on: July 10, 2020, 01:38:57 AM
What do guys think of ChainLink's long term price prediction? Do you recommend, if someone bought it @ $1.5 better to sell and buy back at correction? Worried, What if there is no correction?

My recommendation to you is to keep on HODLing it, till it reaches $10 then sell some and again keep on HODLing till it reaches $20.

Chainlink is a great project and it can reach $10 before this year ends.

If you are in a hurry then this is the right time to earn a profit. It is trading at $6 and there will be some profit booking at this price level within couple of days.

Almost every Newbie is here to earn money through Bounties. Earning in bounties is not that good nowadays therefore they resort to spamming and when they get caught and get banned they would create a new ID to scam other members.

Eventually, they would again get banned. If a newbie is here to learn then they would never think about the bounty first. Their primary goal would be to understand the technology and learn as much as they can.

I have no idea how Twitter scams are done as I hardly follow those Giveaways and Airdrop handles. I am aware about Youtube Scams and there have been few topics related to those scams highlighted in this forum.

Youtube Channels are not purchased by the scammers but the channel owners get scammed and looses control of his/her channels.

What I am aware of is that these scammers send an email using a known third party Adsense partner or from fake AdSense websites.

These emails promise them an increase in their monthly earnings and ask them to register/login to these fake websites using their Youtube account information.

As soon as they receive those details the first thing they do is to change the password of that channel and the additional email address.

This is how they gain access to these big channels and then they organize live events using an old video of an interview of a crypto celebrity. I have reported a couple of them lately on Youtube but still, they manage to get hold of a new channel somehow.

Stay away from any form of Giveaways on any social media platform they are all fake.

Wallets are the most important tools for storing and handling cryptocurrencies. If you do not have the right wallet for the right job then you will lose your crypto assets.

I personally have divided my wallets according to my daily or weekly requirements. I have been using three types of wallets for the past year now and have not faced any issue to date.

I prefer using Mycelium wallet for Android for general usage and have been using wasabi wallet to HODL Bitcoin. For altcoins, I prefer using the Exodus wallet desktop version and mobile.

I am planning to buy a hardware wallet soon for my crypto assets that I plan to HODL for the long term. In case if you are interested in knowing why I prefer using these three wallets then you can click on the links.

Why are we still discussing IPL being conducted outside India? Is there any proof that supports this topic or it is just a speculation as I have not seen any information regarding it.
Not following cricket news or posts in this thread?  Tongue

As of now 3 countries offered to host IPL. UAE, Sri Lanka and recently New Zealand (not official), first 2 already submitted their proposal to BCCI and NZ might join soon.

Oh!

Thanks for the update @JSRAW, I might have missed this out. I was in the assumption that IPL will get postponed till things get normal in India. I never thought other countries will offer BCCi to hold the tournament.

Just in ... Asia Cup is cancelled, says Ganguly
Asia cup is cancelled, surprisingly this news didn't came from the ACC (Asian cricket council) but Sourav Ganguly during Instagram chat. ACC's meeting is tomorrow (9th July)  Roll Eyes
Its not a wonder because India is sitting at the top 3 in the world in number of corona cases and there is a research from experts says India will face the worse situation of corona in 2021 if vaccine is not found at that time everyday there will be 2.97 new active corona cases will be recorded. Huh

That is correct as the second most populated country in the world India will be the worst hit by this virus. They do not have the infrastructure to support such a large population and most states are breaking the daily covid19 reporting records. Good news is that a vaccine has completed the first level of trial and the government agencies are trying to get it released by next month.

I am not sure how they will do it but hopefully by the end of this year they should have a vaccine.
5274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 09, 2020, 08:40:11 AM
Going with England seems easy choice considering home advantage and 2 regular windies missing in the test squad due to personal reasons, would be good if you dig in and say Inning win or 100 +runs/ 8-9 wickets win.

But again don't underestimate Windies bowlers and don't over estimate English batsmen.  Tongue

Raining.................. Whoosh
There is no way West Indies could win the match but the only help they can get is if the rain keeps on interrupting the match and today just 17 overs were bowled and if that continues then we might see a draw and on the betting lines it is not a good option, i waged a bet for draw and the odds were over 7 which was really attractive to miss out.

I think still west indies baller can change the game, already England has lost one wicket and if the play continues today then West indies will try to get them all out. Rain can also play the part of spoil sports.

It is only been a decade.

Bitcoin is known by almost everyone in this world but most people still are not comfortable investing in it because of the negative publicity from the mainstream media and the scams associated with it. Governments have also created a panic regarding Bitcoin with its citizens.

It will change in another decade and you will see a lot of people investing in it.
5276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 07, 2020, 03:05:21 PM
I am not a fan of centralized power and BCCI is already very strong organisation so i would be very careful by giving them more power. So not BCCI per se but i am in favor of privatization of sports in India, let someone else do that and BCCI could provide guidance or help if needed. And most importantly we need specialists, so sport minister must be elected from the sport fraternity and not any political outfit.

Since independence, India had a total of 16 sports ministers (including the current one, Kiren Rijiju from Arunachal Pradesh). Out of these 16 individuals, only one had sports background. And that was Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, who won the silver medal for shooting during the 2004 Athens Olympics. He was the sports minister until May 2019, but was replaced by Rijiju after the elections.

This is now the high time that the sports minister should have the sports background compulsory, and this should be the pre-qualification. But unfortunately, that is not the case and as a result only cricket is being considered as the sports and receive the revenue and players form other sports are nowhere near in terms of the infrastructure for their practice grounds, money what they make as compared to cricket. When will the bureaucracy ends from the sports?

Politicians believe in politics regardless of their background, they will only follow the PR teams or their party. The best example is Pakistan, their PM is a legendary cricket player who had done nothing for the cricket team or the sports fraternity.

If you give the job of sports ministry to a player he will always behave just like a politician and not like a player.
5277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 07, 2020, 02:56:38 PM
NZ cricket board and their government will not allow mid night slot games, which is very reasonable.

Not everyone in India works in the IT industry  Wink and they don't have privilege of "Working from home" so bit tough to fill the vacuum.

In that case, the BCCI may prefer Sri Lanka ( I would assume that staging the tournament in UAE is not feasible, as they have 500 to 1,000 new infections everyday despite the small population). During the last 7 days, there were 33 new cases in Sri Lanka. Out of this 33, 32 were imported cases (mostly from the Gulf nations) and one case was reported among the navy personal.

This is as good as it can get for the BCCI. If they don't want the tournament in NZ, then Sri Lanka is the only option. In Sri Lanka, almost half of the total cases (~ 2,000 since March) are imported, while most of the remainder was found among the navy personnel. So any risk for the players if the tournament is staged in Sri Lanka is negligible.

BTW, did anyone noticed the CPL 2020 draft that was completed yesterday? Nepal player Sandeep Lamichhane got a deal worth $130,000. Mohammad Nabi and Ben Dunk also received deals worth similar amounts. The highest price was fetched by Chris Lynn and Rashid Khan ($160,000 each).

Why are we still discussing IPL being conducted outside India? Is there any proof that supports this topic or it is just a speculation as I have not seen any information regarding it.

5278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 07, 2020, 02:48:54 PM
ICC I think is giving equal opportunity to all the teams. They are considering every team the same considering most of them are not playing a lot of Test cricket nowadays. This may be the reason why they have included all 9 teams in one division.

If they want to give equal opportunity to everyone, then why they placed the three teams (Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan) in the second division? Why can't they place them with the other nine teams? I find it ridiculous to relegate a promising team such as Afghanistan, without any chance to quality to the first division. Test status should not be permanent. Teams which perform poorly should lose their test status.

The only reason that I can quote for these three teams is that all three teams are very weak teams. They all have not played a lot of cricket as compared to the other nine If compare the last two years. Mind you I am talking about cricket and not any format of cricket.

Forum has been a great help to me as well. I have realized now after reading so many cases of fraud that these guys can go to any level to scam you and that nothing is free in this world

Every day there is a new scam and every time they use a new technique to scam you.

In my opinion, never believe anyone who promises you that you will get rich if you invest money in their scheme. You have to take ownership of your own investment and you have to always do your own research before investing.

Getting Merits is not that tough as it sounds, you only need to concentrate on sharing quality information in this forum. I have seen many forum members who have earned merits just by sharing their knowledge and by creating quality topics.

You have to create topics that have information that will benefit the forum members. Merit is a kind of appreciation that you get when you have done a good job for the community. Everyone loves appreciation
