^^ PCB was trying hard for Asia Cup but BCCI already shoot them down for obvious reason and they are not going to visit there anytime soon so we can rule this possibility out.

For ICC tournament one possibility seems manageable if any 3 subcontinent countries bids for joint hosting rights? for ex; Ban-SL-Pak ? then Pakistan can host few WC games.
You mention good point if PCB do some home work then surely they can manage WC event with the help of BAN-SL because these three countries have enough gounds and other structure and India can go alone for this all in future but sadly here we have too much politinal involved so this is also just dream which is very hard to come true.

I doubt srilanka and Bangladesh cricket board will go against Indian cricket board. What ever you are thinking will only be possible if BCCI gives a nod to ICC and other boards, which I am sure will never happen.

PCB has more internal politics than any other board. They had one good opportunity but they lost it because of covid19.

hi

are there any applications that use bitcoin infrastructure to help tackle covid19?

am thinking about application for contact tracing (to detect who has been in contact with an infected person),  requires each user to have a unique address and interactions between users to be recorded and made available publicly

system needs to be trusted, and have some level of anonomous


Bitcoin is used for donation and purchase of necessary medical goods because of its low transaction fee. I do not know any application that is using Bitcoin to determine and trace a virus infected person. Although it is possible to design an app using the Blockchain technology to keep a record of infected person and determine a hot zone but, I have not heard of it being used.

It is a serious joke and yobit is participating in this joke. A topic created about a shit toke proves people have fallen for this joke. I am pretty much sure if Binance had promoted this joke people would have invested in it too.

So as per my understanding you are referring to a investment plan with pyramid system. That basically sounds like a scam. Such plans  are a big no no when you can make more money just by HODLing Bitcoin for a year.

It is better to stay away from investment schemes.

Technology is not gender biased I mean everyone uses mobile phone regardless of their gender and in my opinion this is one of that topic that does not make any sense.

It is known that technology is designed and developed for both the sexes.
5966  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading on DEX's - What's your experience? on: April 02, 2020, 07:49:42 AM
Been playing around with the Blocknet DEX lately, and it seems like the most activity is on the BLOCK/LTC trading pair. Recently seen some DIVI/BLOCK trading going on as well, but really would love to see more trading on DEX's like this as I personally love to trade without giving up my personal details.

What's your own experiences with DEX's? Which one do you like the most, etc?

The best thing about using a DEX is no registration. My first DEX experience was on IDEX but as soon as they started acting like a centralized exchange I stopped using it. I mean why would a DEX need registration.

I then shifted to Binance DEX, liked it but there is zero volume on almost all the pairs now therefore stopped using it too. At the moment not using any DEX.
5967  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My top 7 exchanges for trading on: April 02, 2020, 06:57:49 AM
I have been using local exchanges a lot after the ban was removed by the Reserve Bank of India. One of our local exchange known as WazirX was recently acquired by Binance. It is one of the biggest and highly trusted exchange in India.

There are few more who have good reputation among the Indian crypto community and you can read about them  here. I am using most of these exchanges listed in this article. If you are from India then you should read this article and register with one of these exchanges.

Back then it was entirely possible. Sri Lanka was a really good team, capable of giving strong competition to big 3 teams and India had a weak bowling attack (especially in the pace bowling department). And back then, Virat Kohli had just started his career, and was being overshadowed by heavyweights such as Gautham Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.
It is true that India had weak bowling attack than Srilanka at that moment. It was advantage for Srilanka but don't forget that batting line up of India was the best at that time which Srilanka had not.

True..

But back then they did okay job whenever team needed them, there is a reason that they lost only one game (if my memory serves me well) in playoff, home conditions helped Indian cause, as bowlers were familiar with the conditions. For better or worse things now changed completely in the modern cricket, as home condition don't matter much in T-20 and ODI.

Interestingly in every ICC tournament whenever India plays against Pakistan, Indian bowlers takes a driving seat.


Correct Indian bowling performed when they were required to. Srilanka had better bowlers than India. The batting line up of India was the strongest at that time. Not to forget India still had sachin at that time.

5970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Betting Double After Losing is Really a Good Decision? on: April 01, 2020, 09:07:52 PM
I have heard a lot about this strategy and have tried it more than once. In few occassion it worked for me as I was calculating the pattern and was expecting a positive outcome. But, it is not possible to always keep a track as sometimes the pattern changes abruptly. In such situation you end up losing big. I tried it with dice.

In my opinion it is too risky. It is always better to get small so that you lose small.
5971  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Fastest ways to multiply Bitcoin on: April 01, 2020, 07:26:10 PM
For me the fastest way to multiply my Bitcoins has been by working on signature campaign that pays Bitcoin every week. This is the most easiest and the fastest way. I have been doing this for quiet sometime now. Thanks to @lighlord for giving this wonderful opportunity and the manager @cryptopreneurbrainbosss.

The other way that I have been using from the day I entered cryptocurrency is by investing in altcoins and then converting them to Bitcoin after achieving my profit goal.
5972  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you received coins or tokens that you forgot that you promoted on: April 01, 2020, 07:19:35 PM
Yes, there have been numerous occasions when I have recieved tokens for projects which I had promoted but forgot. As well as projects that I had never promoted but still got them credited to my wallet as a prmotion . There is nothing new about it.

I am currently in lockdown for the past 10 days and it is supposed to be  there for the next 11 days. This is the time when I am not getting the urge to gamble. I feel till the lockdown is active I might not gamble.

I am not a regular but, whenever I want I gamble sometime it is more than twice a week or none. After the lockdown and staying with the family I just don't want to gamble.

Wimbledon is definitively called off this season, will not be postponed, it is first time since WWII

Sad to hear this news.

Every sporting event has been cancelled or postponed. The fate of earth now lies in the hand of this virus. The world has been brought to a complete halt. Without a single sporting event life in lockdown is simply miserable.

You know what would be more funny and bizarre situation?

People betting on these games with full seriousness and then ending up on losing side by losing bet Grin

So tomorrow is the live match between India and Srilanka. Any guess who will win the match so i can bet and not lose  Roll Eyes




Please bet on SL...

My prediction : India Bats first and SL is going to chase down the target easily.. Sangakara wins the World Cup for his team by hitting six...  Cheesy

Haha, nice

Srilanka was a good team back then. They had good bowlers and good batting line up and it was really possible for them to beat India. History cannot be changed, India won that match comfortably.

I feel value of Bitcoin wouldn't exist if fiat was not injected into it. Supply of Bitcoin will get reduced after the halving but demand will only increase if investors have the money to buy it.

Current economic situation will result in global recession. This will affect the purchasing power of investors and common man. Resulting in global economic meltdown. Which will also affect the price of Bitcoin.
5977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 31, 2020, 04:33:23 AM
This is only a time where it is underrated. Once we start WIPL may be for a year or so it would not get a good response but definitely in coming times we will see a good response and if it done by India where people are crazy of cricket and if get some good support from celebrity as well people will come to see them and surely we will have a packed stadium as well. Only a matter of time before it starts getting to pick up.

Being an Indian, I am a bit more skeptical about the future of the WIPL. Even matches involving the national women's team doesn't get a good response within India. In Australia, the women have a lot of interest in sports and a lot of them follow women players such as Ellyse Perry. But here in India, women are more interested in TV sops and shopping, rather than in sports. Among my female friends, there are only a very few cricket fans.

But that doesn't mean that BCCI can ignore the women players. They need to start the WIPL, latest by 2021.

Its worth giving a shot IMO, earlier the better. I am also not sure about the viewers we would get but its worth giving a shot. People here love cricket so if the tournament falls off from or doesn't clashes on with gents cricket team schedule, I think it should be fine.

BCCI can try with one season and see how much successful it gets.
India is big country and they have very good media as well so they can give this a try as its really could be game changer for them as its happen in IPL now Indian team is producing so many talented guys this can also bring many women those will do very good for their national team may this is not profitable as most of believe but still its need a good chance from BCCI with 6 teams is also good.

When they are discussing politics they are biased other than that they are good when it comes to sports and all. I mostlynavoid watching Indian news channels if they are discussing politics.

Meanwhile BCCI planning to organise IPL between August and September. This show their desperation. I am still not sure how will they do it as the situation in India is getting worst day by day.nAremthey so confident that the situation will become normal by that time.

I just checked cricinfo and they are showing Live India Vs Pakistan Match ?  How is that possible ?


Sideeffects of locked down coming out very quickly  Cheesy Grin

Edit: This match was played nine years back on this day so just because of this they are doing this all today.

Not only cricinfo, but star sports was playing this full match (not highlights) on their channel.

Due to this lockdown, many people may lose their jobs like espncricinfo commentators who did the written commentary on all the  live matches, have nothing to do these days (except today  Wink )

Lol

Mental illness is another issue of quarantine.

Why add Live and mislead the viewers? Struggling to survive I guess that is why they are using such tactics to lure viewers and calm down the advertiser.

Wear n95 masks ad stay away from any individuals while you are working.Be safe buddy. Smiley
Thanks for the concern. My work will be ensuring the proper movement of essential goods and services in the state, mostly supervising work. So, I guess that I would be roaming around the city in the vehicle allotted. And I heard that the vehicles are disinfected daily and that they will provide masks.  But the one thing that I learned is that using N95 Masks/Respirators are not advisable to be used unless you are a health care personnel, who attend to the infected or having respiratory issues. It just gives you false hope to the user and unnecessary usage will only result in the hike of mask prices. The most effective recommendation from WHO is maintaining hand hygiene and social distancing. Check:- https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks.
I will say don't risk your life,wear mask when you are at outside environment because it is proves that virus can be alive in the air for 3 to 4 hours so who knows it may hit you while you are roaming and at the time if you don't have any mask on then it will straightly go inside.
Of course, I am going to use the mask when they are given by the Government for free. But, COVID 19 ranges < 0.2 microns and travels via aerosols particles of the size range 0.5 - 3 microns resultant from coughing or sneezing, while the respirators can only filter particles >0.3 microns. Maybe it will block the aerosols not the virus. I believe that it's a common misconception that masks/respirators are going to protect us from viruses.  
Anyways, sorry for derailing this topic towards Corona. Let's stick to the possibility of having IPL this year. Smiley

Edit: Got some facts wrong edited accordingly.

What I am aware of is tha the virus is the size of 1/5 of water molecule, so mask is useless if you think it will prevent you from this virus but, it is beneficial to others if you already have the virus and do not want others to have it. The only preventive measure that you can take is to stop putting your hand on you face. Which of course is difficult as we tend to put our hands 23 times on our face in one hour.

That's why the emphasis is on cleaning our hands constantly with sanitizer or soap.
5980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: New suggestion for unpaid bounties on: March 29, 2020, 07:39:34 AM
What did you learn in altcoins, those projects didn't paid bounty hunters even after successful. We can gather information by all unpaid bounties and with reasons why didn't paid. For us this is very hard when our good research is successful but admin cheated to bounty hunters. List why didn't paid, your experience and history about unpaid projects
All I learned from altcoins is they are full of nonsense ideas that people or investors don't want to get involved with, too many repetitive projects in crypto world today and investors are sick of it, a project that's good enough will never disappoint and bounty hunters will definitely get good rewards from them

Not all of them are nonsense some of them were really good. The last bounty that I joined was in 2019 and it was for atomi wallet. It was one of the best bounties considering the market condition in 2019. It went till late that year and they paid the amount within the time allocated by them.

It all depends on the type of bounties you choose. This year I doubt any bounties will be good considering the present world situation.
