5721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Low allocation bounty pools pays easily? on: November 09, 2019, 02:18:16 PM
I am someone who has participated in at least 20-25 different bounty campaigns over the last three years. IMO, having a low bounty allocation is not a guarantee for receiving tokens. From my personal experience, I would say that such campaigns are equally risky as those who have higher allocation. It depends on the concept, team and bounty manager. Allocation is not that important as far as I know.
5722  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Best bounty manager on: November 09, 2019, 02:12:45 PM
I don't think that there is anyone who can give proper competition to Sir Yahoo (yahoo62278). Qualifying for a campaign, which is being managed by him is considered as a privilege. The problem is that Yahoo is very selective and manages only a few bounties at a given time. Next in line would be Hhampuz, who is also a very good and unbiased manager. Apart from these two, the name that comes to my mind is that of Arteezy.rtx.
5723  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good projects/hard to reach softcap on: November 09, 2019, 02:02:35 PM
First of all, the vast majority of the ICO projects nowadays are heavily over-priced. I have seen soft-caps of $50 million for projects which are yet to complete their first phase of development work. Now compare this with the Ethereum ICO in 2015, which had a hard cap of $18 million. Also, the market is not in a good state which makes it even more difficult for the ICOs to achieve their funding targets. 
5724  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scam Projects and Bounty . Way forward?? on: November 09, 2019, 01:57:03 PM
A lot of scams have been successful and brought about great damage as well as the reputation of cryptocurrencies. leaders should have more good ideas about fighting those scammers. do you think like me

That may be true. Some of the scam ICOs attracted a lot of negative publicity, and may have tarnished the reputation of cryptocurrency as a whole. But there is not much we can do about it. The investors should be careful before pouring their ETH/BTC in to the ICO projects, but many of them are careless while doing so. And the blame goes for cryptocurrency in case anything goes wrong.

Looks like Afghanistan is inching towards another very heavy loss. They have lost 3 wickets already and the score is only 65/3. Once again, the top order has failed for Afghanistan. Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmat Shah both got good starts, but they need to convert these 20s and 30s to half-centuries. Javed Ahmadi had yet another failure today. 
5726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 09, 2019, 11:49:12 AM
Afghanistan can beat west indies today? because of West Indies is 239/7 in 49 over maybe they can give the target of 250 runs or more so it will be easy to chase down for Afghanistan?

I don't think so. The Afghan bowlers conceded too many runs during the last 10 overs. West Indies was struggling at 160/5 after 40 overs, but they managed almost 90 runs from the last 10 overs. This has been one of the issues with Afghanistan for quite sometime. They are not good finishers. Even Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman went for a lot of runs during the last few overs.
5727  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Has Been Profitable for More Than 94% of its Existence on: November 09, 2019, 10:46:32 AM
How I wish I had known Bitcoin at that time since I am a kind of person to take any opportunity especially in earning as long as it doesn't require me to pay or invest some cash. I would gladly pour my time and effort. Especially this kind of things which interest me and I'm willing to learn new things. But I'm too young at that time to be introduced to Bitcoin. I knew Bitcoin at my last year in my high school life which I am very grateful to my friend who come to tell me what this is about and how to get into the game.

Don't forget the fact that we are still in a phase of early adoption. There are only a few tens of millions of active Bitcoin users in this world, and that represents less than 1% of the world's population. All we need is to hold on to our coins and wait patiently. At some point in the future, Bitcoin will be used by the majority of the world's population, and we'll be able to cashout our coins at good prices.
5728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 09, 2019, 10:22:05 AM
Did anyone noticed the latest T20 ranking from ICC? Pakistan is still on top with 270 points from 31 matches. Australia is close behind with 269 points (difference of just 1 point). The good thing for Pakistan is that Australia doesn't have any T20 matches scheduled for the remainder of 2019. Their next T20 match is scheduled on 21st February 2020. So I guess Pakistan's top spot is quite safe, at least for the next 2-3 months. 
5729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 09, 2019, 09:44:15 AM
^^^ In India, the Afghanistan vs West Indies match is being telecast on Star Sports 1 HD (they are showing the domestic T20 competition in Star Sports 2 HD). BTW, I don't know whether the matches are available outside South Asia. In India, we have close to 20 sports channels and you may always find some live match going on in at least some of the channels. Anyway, West Indies is off to a good (but slow) start. So far they have made 78/0 from 19.0 overs with Evin Lewis and Shai Hope opening the innings.

Almost all the payment processors (Paypal, Visa, Mastercard.etc) have left the Libra project. Now Facebook needs to bring some of the small-scale processors such as those based in Russia and China. But it needs to be seen how interested is Zuckerberg right now in the Libra project. Lately he has been giving hints about abandoning the project.
5731  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Altcoins that could Outperform Bitcoin in 2020 on: November 08, 2019, 05:00:56 PM
All the coins listed by the OP are failed ones. Coins such as TRX and ADA have lost upto 98% of their value ever since the ATH. The trade volumes are down and the user-base has remained stagnant. Under such circumstances, I don't know how these coins are going to overtake Bitcoin. IMO, none of the current bunch of altcoins have the capability to topple Bitcoin from the no.1 position.
5732  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICOs dead? on: November 08, 2019, 04:55:51 PM
I also think the ICO is not completely dead. It still has the potential to grow, but very few people invest in it now due to so many scams.

ICOs are slowly fading away. The numbers indicate so. Last year at the same time, we had on average a few hundred ICOs every month. This has been reduced by more than 90%. There is hardly any hype now regarding the ICOs and even the number of bounty campaigns have gone down. But still, the situation can change if a few big listings happen at the market.
5733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2020 on: November 08, 2019, 04:49:24 PM
Bitcoin Cash is a good investing instrument, this coin is being manipulated pretty well, definitely we should use it. I think it can bring us much more profit than BTC when the bull run finally comes.

One thing we should remember before investing in Bitcoin Cash is that it is forked out from the main Bitcoin Blockchain. So unlike the other altcoins, BCH price movements will be resembling that of Bitcoin more strongly. In case we have a spike resulting from the block reward halving for BTC, then we can expect the same to happen with BCH as well.
5734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 08, 2019, 04:35:12 PM
Actually ICC are planing to introduce new ranking i.e Most White Wash in Cricket and Pakistan are already preparing for it to Top it.  Tongue
On serious note, Is Pakistani missing the Sarfraz in the team ?

Playing against Australia in Australia is never going to be easy. Pakistan is having a young team, and it takes some time to get the necessary team bonding and cohesion. They still have two weeks to go for the first test. Hopefully the bowlers will be fit by that time and the batsmen will get adjusted to the conditions. And before that there are two warmup matches.
5735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: November 08, 2019, 04:28:02 PM
as we know that in 2017 many ICO were successful (at least reached softcap) and of course the market cap was also very high at the time, so it proves that many people are interested to investing in cryptocurrency, but now where do these investors go? because now the market cap is down and many ICO or IEO are failing (not reaching softcap), are investors no longer interested to investing in cryptocurrency? if yes, where are they investing now? or is there a more profitable investment than investing in cryptocurrency for now?

Bitcoin has given almost 200% returns so far this year. Many of the established altcoins have also given similar returns, such as Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Ripple. But very few of the new coins and tokens have fared well this year (there have been some exceptions such as LEO). Due to the volatile condition of the market, users are sticking to the already established coins rather than going for the new ones.
5736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Extra weeks added to bounty campaign on: November 08, 2019, 04:21:49 PM
To all bounty hunters on this wonderful forum i want to know if its advisable to continue with the bounty you have been promoting for 12weeks that got extra 8weeks added more, have you promote projects this long that ends up with good end results? Thank you

So the duration was increased by 67%? In that case the campaign manager should increase the bounty pool by the same amount. But the problem is that in many cases the bounty pool is not increased. It is like promising a certain amount as salary for work and then demanding the individual that he should do additional work in case he want his salary. One of the ways the bounty hunter gets cheated here. 
5737  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Few Bold bounty hunters still walks among us on: November 08, 2019, 04:12:39 PM
Some bounty hunters still hold on to their tokens even when every thing looks not so good for crypto, through successful bounty spreadsheets some bounty hunters still keep their tokens for example gowithmi, why? Do you think they are doing the wrong thing? Will they regret later? 

I was one of the bounty hunters who held on to a part of the tokens I received as reward (during 2017/18). And I have to say that I regret about my decision now. Many of these tokens are no longer being traded and the few that are still being traded have lost more than 90% of their value. I am just talking about what happened to me... but there is a chance that the other bounty hunters are luckier..
5738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WILL Bounty campaigns Ever Keep to their Rules and Regulations on: November 08, 2019, 04:02:28 PM
2017 is the year of the glory of Bounty, and at that time many people were sincere and worked honestly so that they were able to produce a Bounty project with huge profits. In contrast to now, many people are greedy and rascals. They deceive investors by running off their money, which makes investors very disappointed. And surely this has an impact on the Bounty Campaign now, many projects fail, so the rules are easily changed by the Bounty manager. 
And I think this is difficult to fix.

If a project fails, then what happens is very simple. None of the bounty hunters may receive their rewards. But that doesn't mean that the bounty manager has the right to change the rules. Now it has become a norm for the campaign managers to change the terms and conditions midway. And this is one of the reasons why hardly anyone participates in the bounty campaigns nowadays.
5739  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: November 08, 2019, 03:52:19 PM
Even today, the exchange rates went down by 5%. With every dip, there comes a fresh round of FUD being churned out through various social media channels. Experienced users already know about this and they are holding on to their coins. On the other hand, some of the new users may be prompted to sell their coins at a heavy loss.
5740  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Blockchain Replace Banks? on: November 08, 2019, 03:41:12 PM
If Blockchain has to replace the banks, then Bitcoin should become the main currency for ordinary people. As long as they use fiat cash, it is not possible. You need the banks to store fiat currency, and there is no alternative for that. And with Bitcoin being used more as a speculative investment asset (rather than as a currency), any chance of that happening looks quite remote.
