The problem about right urls is about where we click to open the site. Is a bad practice to click in third party sites to open an important site like our mail or our wallet. The secure way is to save those sites on our bookmark on the navigator and always open them from the right source.

To verify each site we visit could be something complex, and not anyone will take the time for a double-check.

The problem is that we forget that we should not open a url sent to our email. We do open it and then we lose everything believing that we did right.

These extension prohibit or recheck the url for us by notifying us whenever we open a new link or visit a url is visited.
5302  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to know whether the url your visiting is correct? on: July 01, 2020, 02:17:04 PM
They do notify whenever you are on a particular url. You have to add them and try them, one or the other will do give you notification and sometimes if it does not then you know you have to check the url. I installed all of them on my chrome browser and tried it for a month and they worked fine at that time. The only problem is that you chrome browser will load slower when you start it for the first time.
5303  Other / Off-topic / How to know whether the url your visiting is correct? on: July 01, 2020, 01:45:47 PM
There have been a lot of information lately in this thread related to spam websites or copy of original website. The thing is after so many posts reminding us to check the url we still do not check it. We believe we are opening a safe link, we only realise this issue when we lose money.

To solve our laid back attitude Google chrome has provided us with few awesome extensions meant only for desktops. Here is the list of those.
These extensions can be added to any chromium base web browsers like Brave, Microsoft edge and Opera. You can add any of the above three extensions and they will notify you whether the url you are visiting is correct or not.

Try it yourself!

Copa America is still almost 12 months away. But the T20 World Cup is scheduled in a few months time, and that's why I am worried. There is an increase in the number of cases in Australia and they will be hosting this edition of the world cup. On top of that, cricket activity will resume in just a few days, when England will play their test against West Indies. And even today UK had 800 plus cases and 25 deaths.
They could still conduct the T20 World Cup if they can take the necessary precautions and test each and every player and then conduct the tournament without any audience, earlier there were talks about the minister allowing audience for sports but if the situation is getting bad and the second and third wave of the virus is showing up they can still conduct the tournament without audience with proper precaution.

A lot of it depends on ACB whether they want to or not. Although the situation in Austrhalia is far much better than other countries I guess they do not want to take any risk. I am sure they will be considering all available option and with in the due cource of time we will know .

Random Thought

West Indies and Pakistan are already setting their camps in England for test series or some limited overs cricket. How about ECB use this opportunity in their favor and come up with the one Triangular T-20 series? Eng vs WI vs Pak .. That would be great initiative.

This is a great thought as it would be really fun as well to watch them playing against each other. T20 would be the real fun watching those WI players smashing the ball out of the park. And also, it would bring back smiles on our faces which we had being missing due to no matches in past 3 months. But can they setup it immediately or some prior permission might be required I guess so.

Yeah, they have all the time they need to conduct a small T20 tournament. All teams do not have any other games planned for the future as most tournaments have got cancelled. I do. It see any issue in conducting this tournament.

Sri Lanka starting a investigation on "Sold the World Cup" allegation raised by former sport minister. Legendary batsman Aravinda de Silva is called up by the authorities and he's is meeting them today, he was chief selector back then.  

This headline tho... Fox print news at best.  Grin
India’s World Cup glory under criminal investigation over Sri Lanka fixing allegations

Now that is one big sarcastic headline, "India's Worldcup glory". I assume after the investigation is over and if Srilankan players are found guilty( which I doubt) ICC will take back the World cup honor and trophy from India.

9 years ago this match was played, why it was not investigated at that time of why these gentelmens were quite at that time? They need to investigate the current situation not the past.

I wanted to know if anyone has an answer for me. If i still have my public/private key, can i withdraw the BTC that i previously put into PlusToken using those methods since Plustoken has shut down?

First you need to find out what happened to the plus token and also; did you invest your bitcoin into the project? If you sent btc in the hope of receiving plus token back then; then you do not have bitcoin  again; but plus token. Well knowing full that plus token is closed; its a 50?50 scenario for you

It is not even 50:50 , it is completely 100% on the scammers part. I am sorry to say but OP's greed to earn more has today let him to a state where not only he has lost his Bitcoin but also recieved tokens that have zero value. This situation should set an example for all newbies that there is no shortcut to earn money.

Great work!

I am not criticizing your effort.

But don't you think there is enough information on the internet about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The app is great but without proper marketing and promotion no one will be interested to download it.

What do you think is the USP of this app for anyone to download?

What benefit apart from knowing about Bitcoin does this app provide?

Anyone can convert a static website to a android app now days. There noting unique about this app in my opinion.

It is extremely important that you read the rules and understand them, do not directly indulge in bounties from the beginning as you will earn peanuts if you do not rise the rank.

The more you indulge the faster you will learn. Help others if you know the answer, ask questions if you want to know the answer.

5313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 28, 2020, 11:16:16 AM
Few Days back I already posted this is going to be drama because every Pakistani team going England or Australia we have tactics like this and PCB is already in shit position and cannot handle this all just packing their bags with families for free visit of England its kinda un professional behaviour by them.

Wait a min, how can this be a drama ?  Were the players were not tested positive for covid19 ?

If so, how can the media and everywhere else this false news can spread and what is the benefit in it for the PCB and players ?  

This should turn out against their favor as other international players may show concerns playing with them.

I do not understand till yesterday they all were covid 19 positive and today they became negative. How is this possible? Amazingly within few hours they are not having this dreadful virus. If it's not a drama then it is a negligence in part of the medical institution which conducted there test.
5314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 28, 2020, 09:23:29 AM
There is another problem attached to it and that is when any of the best player is being tested positive this mean the original strength of the team is reduced and then bench players will be picked up. And something like this happens when many such players of a team is positive so then that tournament would not be played with best players or it would not be matching up to the other side strong players and world cup would is not where you would like such things to happen.
It is obvious if ten players are infected by Corona it takes a couple of months to recover and then start training it will take some time to get back into match fitness and the series is scheduled by the end of next month and hence it is likely they will be sending a second string of players and they are not having a huge bench strength let alone a competitive playing eleven and the series will be one sided and England will white wash the series easily.

Why will it take couple of months the maximum is 15 days for anyone to recover from covid 19, the tournament will start in August which means there is still time for Pakistani cricketers to recover. As a player there immune system will be far better than a common man and it is possible they might recover faster.

I just hope every player follows the social distancing norm and are fit before the game.

Also when these pakistani players will reach England they will be tested again and remain in quarantine for 14 days. This is not only for those who had covid19 but the whole cricket team will experience 14 days quarantine in England.

They won't be treated but they will quarantined as per the SOP. The problem is that Pakistani players did not take this disease seriously and that is why more than one have been tested positive. They should behave like professional if they want to play international cricket.
5315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk PSL T20 Pool and discussion. on: June 28, 2020, 09:20:02 AM
I guess it will not be a good idea to start PSL again provided that there are numerous cases of virus positive in Pakistan Cricket team which lies a big threat for the participants. May be this year, governing body can come with different methods to end such s tournament.
Right now PCB is doing this all just like a joke so I am not feeling this can happen now they need to focus on next season and forget about this all because this is not going to happen and if they want then its still not easy for them as situation is not good and they have not good resources like England and Australia to do this all.

Don't know about this PSL but there was some pressure on the PCB to cancel the 2021 PSL to conduct the Asia cup at that time. PCB rejects BCCI's suggestion to postpone PSL 6 for Asia Cup 2020. They made the right decision and refused what BCCI had offered them.


Quote
An official from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had recently suggested that the PCB postpones it's sixth edition of the PSL in order to cater the Asia Cup as the current year's schedule clashes with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. 
This is really big blunder by BCCI if they send any suggestion like this because now PCB will never do this on any cost PSL is gateway for PCB and Pakistan for good investment and reputation If this is really from them then I am feeling they are not happy with the first addition of PSL in Pakistan and feeling jealousy even IPL is much bigger and good event.

Yeah you are right BCCI is getting jealous of PSL..

That is one the most hilarious comment I have ever read. PSL is still in its initial stages and the revenue it generates is very less to what BCCI earns only from IPL. Why will BCCI become jealous of a tournament that does not even have A team international players?

In my opinion Dash, Verge and Monero are the best privacy coin in the market. According to market capitalisation they are also ranked higher than all othe Privacy coin.

I think out of the lot these three are the ones that are being adopted and have a real use case. Others are already losing the race.
5317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 28, 2020, 07:46:12 AM
In opinion both T10 and T20 will be played more than any other Cricket Format as they both would be generating the same level of excitement. I do not think T20 will be played less as there are too many tournaments being played in this format. T6 super sides did not generate any response as in my opinion you need minimum 10 overs to get a decent score on the board.
I guess there was a T10 tournament in UAE last year and it wasn't so excited and entertaining at all; beginning of t20 was far better excited and entertaining. Chances of t10 getting popular is too low as the competition won't be existed anymore in the match. Most of them will be unbalanced; one-sided.

Exactly hardly I had heard about it that time of T10 and did not even seen people speaking much about it. This itself show the engagement with people is not much as compared to T20. Also if you want to enjoy a game with some skills to be visible by batsman and blowers you require some overs so that they can bowl and bat .


Did you watch that tournament? If you have not then you should once. Here is the link to final match https://youtu.be/v7riLd45OZA
It was played between Maratha Arabian and Deccan Gladiator. I enjoyed it so did  others considering the view counts on YouTube and the number of subscribers they have from just one tournament.
5318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 28, 2020, 07:40:01 AM
Its good to see that there will be some test match cricket played in the coming month between England and the WI. I think that the series will be evenly matched as there hasn't been any cricket played for so long so we can't really say one team has an advantage except for home ground advantage. Anyway I'm thinking of betting on the WI to win the first test match as some value as we don't know how well the teams will perform with no playing for so long.

Finally we are going to see some live cricket action from 1st July, 2020. After  long waiting it will be good to see some live action from England.
First Test will be played at Southampton while the 2nd and 3rd test will be played at Manchester ground.

1st Test England Vs WestIndies  8   July
2nd Test England Vs  WestIndies     16  July
3st Test England Vs WestIndies  24 July

@vella85 yea England only has the home ground advantage, but it’s also pertinent to note they can’t shine the ball and without the shine I don’t think that they’ll benefit from playing at home. Also WI player’s attitude feels like they’re over confident of beating England, hence I’m tempted to wager on England as I feel that WI will loose due to their player’s arrogance/over confidence.

Sources:

https://www.theroar.com.au/2020/06/14/england-versus-west-indies-who-will-win-the-wisden-trophy/

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29292914/jason-holder-says-world-come-together-west-indies-arrive-historic-tour

Both teams have to follow the new rule, wherein they will not be able to shine the ball. The advantage for England is that they will be playing in their home ground and are aware of the pitch condition as well as the climate. Whereas WI have to first adapt to the condition. Therefore England is in a better position than WI.

Yes, I have been also accumulating Bitcoin every month both by investing at a regular interval and also by earning it from the forum though the Signature Campaign. But, I do tend to spend some of it either by investing through it on Altcoin or by spending it at an online store.

I believe if we only stack it the USD value of Bitcoin will not increase and that is why we do need to spend it in order to increase the adoption.
