5321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is it possible to retrieve my invested BTC from Plustoken? on: June 30, 2020, 10:38:44 AM
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.

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.
5327  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.
5328  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.

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.
5331  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.

T10 is not the real game of cricket because you hardy can do in that number of overs and also not every player will get a chance to show their skills too. T20 is something which is more or less the perfect shorter game and anything shorter would not be real entertaining as well. Also consider that crowd which comes to watch from various cities in the stadium in traffic may take much longer to and for distance than just to watch T10 match in stadium. So this would not be the real incentive for them too.

The shorter the game the more excitement it will generate. People were saying the same when about T20 when it was introduced and now everyone prefers watching T20 than any other form of cricket. In my opinion it will be great for us to see International players playing this T10 in a ICC tournament.

If this T10 tournament grabbed attention, then i am afraid this will be the end of T20. I don't think two almost identical formats (t10 and t20) can co-exists and have same interest in the game.
If this got popularity, do you think we will have two world cups every year one or two, one for T20 and other for T10  Huh

T20 and One day international matches caused the downfall of Test cricket and if T10 is a success then I think one day cricket and test cricket will take a major hit than T20. Crowd love excitement, close matches and both T10 and T20 provide it in abundance.

The most to get impacted because of T20 would be test match. As people got the results and excitement in those 3 hours so for them waiting for test match where every ball has to be played as per its merit people got bored and cannot wait for it. So test match are being avoided by people and T20 and ODI still is the best for them. T10 may or may not be that successful as T20.


I raised this point that if T10 becomes popular, the T20 matches will be less just like after the introduction of T20 and ODI, we don't see test matches that often. But it depends if it will be popular or not in the coming months. Also, not to mention that T6  Super sixes tournament was also held every year in Hong kong but it failed to gain any international attention.

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.

Devi is hyped and at the moment every token linked to it will perform. I think this would be the right time to make some profit till the hype fades out.

DMG does not offer anything unique but if you want to cash it then invest and with the first sign of trouble move out of it. There will be many more tokens similar to it that will come in the future and they all will like to cash the hype, therefore do your research before investing.

5337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian government Banning Cryptocurrencies? on: June 27, 2020, 11:00:48 AM
From 2018 till today I have been reading and hearing that Indian government is going to ban cryptocurrency. Don't you think that is too long to take a decision by the government. If they wanted to ban it they would have done that completely and not partially in 2018.

I do not believe that it is possible to ban cryptocurrency by any country. It is practically impossible to monitor the internet and with India's population and internet density it is next to impossible to monitor and control the internet.

So if the government does pass s law to ban cryptocurrency, how will they manage to implement the ban when they do not have the resources or the man power to monitor activities on the internet.

Very interesting and informative article. I must say a lot of research were done to find exchanges that operate and are trusted in those continents.

But, all those exchanges that are listed in your article require your to go through KYC which is a big issue. Therefore to avoid KYC and remain hidden it is better to buy cryptocurrencies over the counter at a local level.

There are two websites that I am aware of which operate in almost all countries and they are localbitcoin and localcrypto. In some countries you have to go through KYC to buy using localbitcoin.

Fortnite is addictive and has one of the best graphics. I did play it few time and the more y ou play the more you get addicted to it. It was hard for me to work at that time. Thankfully it is over now.

Reports is gradually getting due recognition, it will be nice if games like fortnite gets added to Olympics. I have not heard or known any website that allows betting on fortnite or games similar to it. I would be great to bet on these games.

Yes, he is known for Boom Boom but that does not mean he can be considered as an overall allrounder. He always played without any maturity and that has been one of the reasons why he is not taken seriously by the cricketing faternity.
There are no true all rounders in cricket for decades, now all the tag all rounders has a sub tag as well, bowlers who can bat a bit and batsman who can bowl a bit and if you look in that sense Shahid Afridi is an allrounder, even though he started out as a bowler he came into the Pakistan team as an explosive opening batsman and when he gets going he is a force to reckon with the bat and could win matches single handily and he was a decent fielder as well.

I still do not agree an inconsistent player who has always displayed immaturity on and off the field can be considered as a great all rounder. Pakistan has a history of brilliant and respected all rounders in the past. Comparing Afridi as a game changer, game saver and an all rounder is a disgrace to those legends.
