ICL was the reason BCCI started IPL after destroying it. Many good players were there and most of them got banned by BCCI.

Found this match on Youtube [CL Final Lahore Badshahs vs Hyderabad Heros 2008 ] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_wkrMPWNmU

Historically, BCCI has opposed new innovations in cricket, such as T20, franchise leagues and DRS. I don't know the real reason for this. Perhaps they want to stick to the traditional way of playing and were happy with the test and ODI formats. ICL players were left high and dry after the BCCI banned them. ICL was owned by the Zee Entertainment Enterprises, and they refused to pay salaries for most of the players after the league folded up. 12 years have passed and till date the dues are still outstanding.

Players can forget their salaries as the parent company of Zee Entertainment LTD might go bankrupt. I think earlier those who were heading BCCI were not big risk takers but things have changed a lot with the new President.

Without the Pakistani players still, IPL is interesting and viewership has not declined. I do not think it will happen in the near future as there is no political will from both sides.

There is only a limited number of slots available for the overseas players as the maximum threshold per playing XI is four. So we have 8 teams right now, and 32 overseas players can regularly feature in the tournament. Considering the current form of Pakistani players, I would say that not many of them would be selected by the IPL teams, even if the option is available. The first preference is for West Indian and Australian players, followed by those from England and South Africa.

Still form or no form because of the rift between these two countries I would still be open and get entertained if Pakistan and India resume their bilateral series. That would benefit both the nation as sponsors and advertisers will be on BCCI'S doorstep. A good way to generate revenue for both nations.

But it is next to impossible now to even think about it.

Or may be entry in the Olympic is the key? There is a good chance if it get accepted in Olympics then fair amount of European or south american countries would show some interest, followed by North. then may be we can expect more money pumping into the game.
~Edited out~

Then we all know that the IPL started shutting the ICL which was another private company coming up with a tournament signing big players and BCCI and ICC banned several players who were signed to them and forced them to close their doors and then IPL started and followed everything what ICL did with cheer leaders and all those fancy things and this is recent history.

For global acceptance you need to see some kind of similar innovation from private players and for that ICC need to allow to accept them which is not going to happen.
This other tournament had kapil dev backing right? i remember reading something about it.

ECB trying "The 100 Balls" tournament which got delayed due to pandemic. It would be nice addition in the game of cricket as 4th format if spectators gives some positive response.

@JSRAW I had to use google to remind myself what ICL was, and it’s really sad that back then they didn’t take BCCI permission to start their operations otherwise the league wouldn’t have got banned. Furthermore the 100 ball tournament is not a bad idea, and after reading the tournament rules on Wikipedia, I’m pretty sure that it’ll be a hit among the fans if they decide to implement it in the official ICC formats.

While ICC is deciding whether to postpone T20 Worldcup next year, BCCI has decided to host IPL this year. Looks like Ganguly doesn't care about ICC's decision anymore Tongue

The BCCI is working on all possible options to ensure that we are able to stage the IPL this year, even if it means playing the tournament in empty stadiums.

While Mumbai is the most corona affected region in India,  Mumbai Indians have decided to start their training from Today under strict guidelines  Lips sealed

This is going to be a historic blunder from the part of the BCCI. The pandemic in India is yet to peak, and with every passing day there is an increase in the new infections. Three of the metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata) are severely affected and the other cities are not faring that well either. They can make preparations only if the situation comes under control, and in my opinion it may take at least four more months.

They are planning to hold it by the end of this year. I assume by that time they are expecting a vaccine to be out as few pharma companies are claiming they will.

The situation has got pretty worsen lately and there is no end to it considering that they have already started easing the lockdown. Till May end India was ranked 11 in the list of countries badly affected by the pandemic but now it is 4th.

It is good for the Indian board to include Pakistani players in IPL because it will create more interest in the tournament and the direct benefit will go to the Indians but both countries political conditions doesn't allow this.

Without the Pakistani players still, IPL is interesting and viewership has not declined. I do not think it will happen in the near future as there is no political will from both sides.

I guess they forget cryptocurrency has a currency which means money and no one should reveal or discuss the amount they hold in their banks or in their wallets.

Because, if you do you will be in trouble.

They KYC part is very critical as there are many exchanges where it is mandatory to complete KYC. It is very hard to skip it as most local exchanges will always ask for KYC

I am sure you might have heard about Binance Exchange and Kucoin Exchange. You can register on these exchanges and then make a purchase without going through KYC if the amount is less than 2BTC.

If you cannot use these exchanges then you need to scan your documents for making a purchase on Coinbase. Without KYC, Coinbase will not allow you to make a purchase.

If IPL face cancellation then BBCI is going to lose approx $500 Millions in one go... so clearly they are in deep mess in current situation and desperately want to organize event, let's see if other boards release their players for IPL.
I think the other boards will probably agree. Right now most of the boards has cut short the pay of the players, IPL is a cash cow for the players so eventually they will presurize the Boards for IPL. If IPL is hosted even Bravo will take part in it on behalf of CSK  Tongue
Yesterday i was reading live feed of ICC meeting (posted in the last page). for some reason they put up Ian chappell interview, he was basically saying that every board need to stand up against the BCCI. No matter if World cup gets cancel or not, don't send players for IPL and play domestic cricket only..  

And do you think these boards can control players who get paid more than what they might earn from ICC tournaments?

Pakistani players are crying every day and West Indians have revolted against there boards. Players are performing just to get selected in IPL.

Everyone here thinks that BCCI is ruling the cricket, It is true as they pay the most to players.
5690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Crash game more risky ? on: June 11, 2020, 05:58:59 PM
I do not go for higher multipliers, I only go for smaller ones starting with the smallest and the max I go is 2x the point here is not go for big multipliers and go for the smaller ones. Try it will smaller and you will be able to make some money.

Sometimes, using smaller can make us some money, although not much. But still, that is money for us Grin

If we cannot accept the loss, then we can play safely in the crash games. As long as we can reach 2x of the point, I think that is enough for us to take the profit. No need to pursuit bigger money if the game is difficult and needs the luck to get that money.

Yeah 2x is Good enough for anyone to make a profit unless he/she thinks they can conquer. It is very simple even a dumb guy can understand what I meant.

Most members are not okay with it before even trying the technique. I should have asked for money and these dumbs would have paid me when I would have shown them fake data.

Just try it if you are not able to do it DM me..

The latest news from BCCI is that the Indian tour of Sri Lanka is called off (originally scheduled for June-July). This series was not very important for the BCCI, but the SLCB will be furious about it. They are already facing financial issues and the cancellation of the tour is going to hit them hard. They were hoping that the BCCI would just postpone the tour, and not cancel it altogether.

What is happening in not intended as the current situation makes it? Money grossing IPL is still in a dilemma no one knows it will happen! But, if the boards take it as an issue then it is their issue.

I do not blame the board but the condition in the subcontinent is pretty bad and every day it is becoming worst for everyone living there.

I am sure they will do a favor for the Srilankan cricket team later on when things are quite normal.

Remember that it easy to show 2x-5x profit in chart after pump.. But truth is 90% chart analyst not able to make those profit n few discipline experts book profit each level with a target.
Dont enter in FOMO in this Alt cycle, u will be REKT like 2018.

I say you are a fool to believe charts.

Charts only work when there is trillions of dollar invested into the market. At the moment we are only in millions and whenever someone with billions can easily manipulate it easily.

We know them as WHALES and you should always remember this name before you follow a chart and follow them. It is true charts have helped many investors in conventional stock markets.

But, here it does not work. You can use them to analyze and follow if you want to but the fate will always remain the same which is a loss.

Therefore DYOR before investing.

About maintaining those hardware wallets, may I know your opinion about what are those things that makes it difficult to maintain?

My 5 reasons are sufficient for you to understand.
Quote
2. Same with mobile wallets, if you lose them, you will lose all your coins unless you made a backup or stored your keys (if provided).
3. Using both Hardware and mobile wallets are easy to understand. It depends on a user's ability to understand the interface. You don't have a hardware wallet right? How come you conclude they are not easy to operate.
4. Same with mobile wallets, you have to update it regularly. I don't see any mobile wallets that don't need an update.
5. Same with mobile wallets, they are also prone to hack.
2. The chance of losing a mobile phone is very less as they are no more palm device like hardware wallets. Another best thing about mobile devices is that they can be tracked and as well as disabled remotely.
3. Why would you want to make your life complicated using both devices? Choose one which has multiple usages like a mobile device.
4. They get auto-updates periodically which you do not need to monitor. You have to manually update and monitor updates.
5. Both android and iOS have firewalls they cannot get hack automatically unless the user downloads a malware. But, hardware wallets can be easily detected by that same malware when you are trying to update it.

5694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 5 Reasons Why I Prefer a Bitcoin Mobile Wallet on: June 10, 2020, 04:38:03 PM
Everyone recommends a hardware wallet to store Bitcoin, which Bitcoin wallet is good to safeguard your investment for free is a question? maintaining those hardware wallets is a pain in the wrong place. My personal favourite is Mycelium wallet.

As of my experience, these are
My Five REASON Why I do not want to buy them?


1. They are costly if you are paid in Bitcoin as a bounty hunter or for a gig.
2. They are a liability as if, you lose it you will lose your investment.
3. They are not easy to operate and most exchanges do not support them.
4. They have to be updated periodically or you will never see your Bitcoin in them.
5. They can still be hacked if you are using them online for trading or other stuff.


If you think I am wrong with my opinion then do comment.

Thanks.

One of the Members compared my 5 reasons with his reason why a hardware wallet is better? and I replied to that member adding 5 more reasons.

So if you think it is crap then please use chrome to get royally screwed and forget privacy.

Yes, sir.

Duckduckgo is not good enough as a search engine. End of. If I ran my life through it I would still have to refer to better ones to make sure it was giving me the results I needed because its results do not deliver. You can seek out privacy and still acknowledge when something isn't good enough.

Please don't hurt me.

I am not talking here about the search engine, in fact, I am discussing the web browser that DuckDuckgo offers to its android users.

I am still baffled by your statement which is about their search engine, as I never discussed it. If you have an issue about the DuckDuckgo browser then reply otherwise I think you are completely confused.

Please do not respond with SIR! as I am not.

Osiris browser also offers privacy to its users, currently, the browser is still available in beta. This browser also offers ads-free for users. Unfortunately, the mobile version is still not available in private browsing that may be needed by users. Maybe someone wants to try, please visit their sites.

I am not a representative of Osiris, if you have questions please contact the developer. Or maybe someone wants to review, of course, this will be better.

DYOR/DWYOR

A nice suggestion by you I have used Osiris browser and it is good but it is still in the development mode and that is why I have not recommended it. There are many issues with this browser as it does not load fast and the worst is, it is not available for android users.

Mobile browsers is the next big thing.

My employers are located in Singapore and they are paying my salary thru Bitcoins. Singapore is a wonderful place to live via crypto because their government is not taxing transaction via cryptocurrency!
Are you sure? From my experience where I stay in Singapore for a few months and talk with a lot of Singaporeans, I don't think Singapore good for the tax thing. Because of the constraint in landmass, they have a lot of ridiculous tax on their citizens. I think they haven't found a proper way to tax on the new thing yet.

You are right there is a new IRAS’ e tax guide that only considers Airdrops and Hard Forks as nontaxable income. I will be removing its name from the list.

You can read more about it here

Afaik DuckDuckGo isn't browser, but search engine. Or perhaps i might be wrong?

You are incorrect, here it is - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckduckgo.mobile.android&hl=en_GB

And it's open source too. I gotta say duckduckgo's search is still crap in my opinion and I would never use it for regular use but perhaps the more use it gets the better it'll be.

So if you think it is crap then please use chrome to get royally screwed and forget privacy. Those who use android are buch the bunch of individuals who I am sorry to say but get tracked when they shit too.

We all need Privacy for our activities online but sadly Privacy has become a myth. Every browser claims, privacy is their priority but actually which of those truely are privacy friendly.

Since we are always on the go and use our mobile phones a lot for browsing, In my opinion these are the 5 best browser that mean privacy.

1. Brave
2. Duckduckgo
3. Tor
4. Epic
5. Firefox focus

All of the above listed are available on Google Play Store, download anyone of them and you will be able to browse the internet privately.


As I understood from the comments below, since most members are not aware that DuckDuckgo has a browser for Android here is the link for you to download - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckduckgo.mobile.android
