Its a web page not a wallet or extension where you can have a wallet, its pretty much an obvious scam.

But do you see all those spelling mistakes they have, I can see on the image you posted, so It's something from a pretty lame attacker who didn't even create a good website to act as a mask to write down the credentials.

Use trusted wallet in the first place, which will never ever ask you to share the recovery seeds to access extra feature on the wallet.

We need a mod for these sections too.

I don't think theymos will be interested in appointing a staff for a board that generate around 150 - 200 posts only per month, so for now the global mods are more than enough and actually most of the reports I reported in our board handled sooner than I expected.

I've seen the suggestions for the rules here, but I'd also like to suggest whether we can have a dedicated gambling sub-board just like we can see in the global Marketplace section? I mean, if it is possible, then why not?

I don't find it necessary to be honest because as said above we may not be going to see a lot of posts in a child board that discuss only gambling activities in India so just a thread in our main board as self moderated can serve that purpose if needed in my opinion.

~

India is one of the very few local boards with appropriate childoards but due to not enough activity the childboards are ghosted but in future if we gain lot of traction from new members then we can't demand them again so better let it be and finding the guidelines of how to use those boards seems to be the actual purpose.

Gave you two merits for making the English loss look fun and sarcastic. I agree with you that this loss would not only hurt the English team psychologically in the future but it will make them vulnerable in this tournament. To those who placed their bets on Afghanistan you made a ton of money today.
Unexpected, no one would believe Afghanistan can team such strong team (at least on paper) if asked before the start of the match. Even I thought this is good match for England to make up for NRR but a complete twist and its just a second win for AFG team in world cup the previous one was against Scotland in 2015, but this one will be completely memorable in AFG cricket history.

Both Aussies and England won only 1 out of three matches and OZ at the bottom of table, tomorrow they are facing against SL which is really important for both the teams to keep their names in top 4.

AFG really opened up the tournament now, hopefully we get to see a few more upsets like this. Cheesy

Bloody hell! Can we have the first big upset of this World Cup tonight?

Traditionally, in the World Cup England team has a habit of losing at least one game against the weaker side so it's only fair if it comes against Afghanistan Lips sealed. After all in the last edition, Morgan thrashed the Afghans brutally so these guys do need closure.  Undecided

Let's see if the Afghans can handle the pressure, their skipper is quite bad with the tactics so big question mark.
I thought this is going to be an easy win for England but here is the surprise, ENG needs 150 runs more with 5 wickets in hand but the only x factor is even the number 10 batsman can score 50 in the squad so that could be their only hope.

I see some drastic change in the pitch during second inning, especially variation in the bounces which took the wicket of Joe root.

Can this be the first upset of this tournament?

OZ will be praying for that to happen. Grin

13) ENG vs AFG

Toss Win: England
Team Win: England
Best Batsman: Joe Root
Best Bowler: Reece Topley



Delhi venue has been a batting paradise based on the recent matches and most likely it is also going to be the same, so if England win the toss and bat first I expect 400. But what I am eagerly waiting is about how England is gonna approach this game because the top 4 teams are already sitting with hefty run rate, so England wants to catch up that point against team like Afghanistan.

Use strong password, for wallet file and keep the recovery seed stored in physical format (write down in paper).
 

Is this the only option for storing ones mnemonic phrase because to me it isn't safe at all, I have heard of cases where the outbreak of natural disaster destroyed some mnemonic phrase writer in paper, though some persons recommend using water proof and fire proof safe to keep your written mnemonic phrase, but during unexpected natural disaster like that of Libya, when my life is at stake would I even think of saving my safe with me mnemonic inside? No

My point is there must be a safe way to store you phrase online, maybe be encrypting a doc or PDF with you mnemonic inside and then saving it in your google drive, something like that or any other way but there must be a way.

There is no such thing in reality, cause anything that goes into online is not safe anymore, that is why it's recommended to store your recovery seeds locally.

If you are worried about the single point of failure then multi signature wallet is an option like 2 of 3 or 2 of 4 and so on, so you create three recovery seeds and can store three in different places where you feel it will be safe then you can access your bitcoin wallet even if one of those seeds lost on such unfortunate instance.

Indian bowling was exceptionally good again today. The bowlers were able to do what the captain wanted them to. Shiraj was hit so badly in his previous overs. Still he came back big time to claim the first Pakistani batter. Bhumrah had the best figures today, took 2 wickets and gave only 19 runs. This defeat will affect the Pakistani teams performance in the World Cup.

Except Shardul Takur  Cheesy

He got into the playing XI as third seamer, but he only bowled 2 overs in the entire inning and I expected Shami to play in that place especially today because he got great records there while playing for Gujarat in IPL but India went to the extra batting option which never required and I would still rate Ashwin as better batsman compared to Takur in that position.
708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 ACTUAL DISCUSSION THREAD! on: October 14, 2023, 04:58:30 PM
Finally, the match has ended and it was an easy win for Team India. Pakistan's team never looked comfortable in the match and they never looked to have an upper hand. Although Baber Azam scored 50 runs but he did not get support from any batsmen and it was all one-sided show.

Rohit Sharma once again played a captain's knock and scored 86 runs. India have won all the three matches played so far and is the unbeaten team for now in this world cup.

A glimpse of the scorecard:-



Another one-sided contest, fans had high expectations regarding the stats, still Pakistan failed again mainly their batting unit looks too weak now, and they need to work on it if they want to beat big teams in the upcoming matches or else there is no place for them in top 4.

Hitman played tremendously, and he kept that attitude since the first ball of that inning and goes all guns blazing against all the bowlers. Now team India is in the top 1 position because of their better NRR and it starts to look like India is going to be a team that can beat all the teams in this tournament just due to their excellent performance in both batting and bowling unit.
709  Local / India / Re: ICC World Cup 2023 - India discussion on: October 14, 2023, 03:31:41 PM
snip~
2 wickets gone for India, Shubman Gill is understandable but Kohli hitting a loose shot is not acceptable. He should have rotated the strike and let Rohit take on the Pakistan bowlers. India is still in a good position to win the game. The reason for scoring fast is because they want a good run rate and in the later stage of the game the ball might not come to the bat as it is now.

I won't blame Kohli though, especially when Hitman is going for the kill all the balls he is facing. He got out on the top edge if I am not wrong but at that stage of match everybody knew that there is no hope for Pakistan in this match so India played this inning with the intention of increasing the NRR and it paid back as well cause now India is sitting at the top of the table.

Hitman seems to be in terrific form and precisely the form he wanted, like in 2019 WC, but unfortunately he gave away his wicket softly and missed his well deserved century. No worries, still lot more games to come, and hopefully the winning run continues for team India.



Points table updated.

Match 12: India Vs Pakistan

Toss win: India
Match win: India
Best batsman: KL Rahul
Best bowler: Mohammed Shami



The big match day, hopefully we will get good cricket from both the sides because in the last few instances of their appearance everything went to one-sided game, so hopefully this world cup match will be actually a #GreatestRivalry as we expect.

I am not sure whether team management will choose Shami for this match, but I believe he is the best on this particular venue and he proved that in the IPL edition as well.

712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 13, 2023, 07:48:47 PM
I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.

The primary rule is never bet with the money which you can't afford to lose, in reality people ignore it and face the consequences.

I manage my finance well and I don't gamble a lot so whoever is gambling with their salary and don't have any other source of income just don't gamble at all or at least limit your gambling budget to be 5% of your net salary per month, so this will give you an idea about when to stop betting especially when you are losing.
713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: October 13, 2023, 06:15:20 PM
"Support groups" are the alternative to therapy where you can meet the person and get experience from them who get rid of addictions.

Also, every government has free toll-free support line to deal such cases so you can seek help from them as well if you can't afford to pay for expensive therapies but the first stage of overcoming the addiction is trying to find the solution so whoever is working on it probably will overcome their addiction with no help from experts unless they are severely addicted to gambling.

And in my opinion, who can finance their long gambling actions surely can afford the treatment as well.

Congratulations to the NewZealand for 3/3 wins for them in world cup

They are literally banging the door for the top 4 position and with this three wins their remaining job gets easier.

Kane Williamson back to form straight away which is good thing, but he is still not recovered from the injury 100% that is why he got retired hurt, hope we can see him in full action in the coming matches.

Tomorrow we have the big match India vs Pak, even though Pakistan has not been at their best still it will be high octane game whenever they are against India hope we can see some good cricket tomorrow.
715  Local / India / G20 adopts IMF-FSB Synthesis Paper on crypto regulation on: October 13, 2023, 03:50:15 PM
The Group of Twenty accepted the regulatory roadmap proposed in a joint Synthesis Paper of the International Monetary Fund and the Financial Stability Board.

G20 members accepted the crypto regulatory roadmap proposed in a joint report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB) in September titled “IMF-FSB Synthesis Paper: Policies for Crypto-Assets.“ The G20 states:

“We call for swift and coordinated implementation of the G20 Roadmap, including implementation of policy frameworks; outreach beyond G20 jurisdictions; global coordination, cooperation and information sharing; and addressing data gaps"

The IMF-FSB paper advocates for comprehensive oversight of crypto instead of a blanket ban. Its high-level recommendations include cross-border cooperation and information sharing between regulators, a demand for comprehensive governance and risk management frameworks for crypto companies, and a guarantee of access to relevant data provided by companies to the authorities.


Source: G20 adopts IMF-FSB Synthesis Paper on crypto regulation

Since these countries accepted the proposed idea I guess we can expect strict regulations and scrutiny of transactions related to cryptocurrency in India too, I am not sure which is going to be a good or bad thing for the rest of the world but I feel it will be a good thing cause it will give us the clear view of limitations to use cryptos and regulations means more people will be willing to invest on bitcoin and cryptos cause they feel safer when government agrees on something.

the option of using a hardware wallet for now seem too expensive for me to afford, maybe i'll go with the electrum mobile wallet for now.
The availability of hardware wallet is also an issue in India because we have to buy from the authorized resellers, so in case if you are buying a hardware wallet keep that in mind.

Electrum on Android is good for small amount, I would say upto 1lakh but you have to be careful while downloading apps and never ever download any apps apart from play store, keep the play protect always on for extra safety.

Use strong password, for wallet file and keep the recovery seed stored in physical format (write down in paper).

A clear victory for South Africa! Their performance was excellent and they truly earned this win. Following today's win over Aussies South Africa is leading the points table with an impressive run rate, while Australia is second last in the World Cup points table. South Africa is considered one of the top contenders and favorites to win the World Cup. However, it's too early in the tournament to predict the final outcome. There are still many group stage games to be played. Hopefully, Australia will recover and bounce back strongly.
Terrible performance from Australia, in the first match their bowling failed and today its their batting and it feels like they are yet to find their right playing XI to the Indian condition which is a sign of worry for a mighty 5 time champion side sitting at the bottom of the table.

Hopefully they will rectify their issues and comeback stronger in the upcoming matches but already they took a big hit on their NRR so they will have extra pressure in the remaining matches which is about not just winning, they need to do it by big margin.
After today's match, I can't trust them anymore. No one has any problem understanding that they have been quite weak in this World Cup. I found their bowling and batting both weak in the India match. Batsmen in particular performed worse. We will not see them in the World Cup final by supporting their team under such circumstances. In the current conditions, I think India, England and South Africa have a high chance of winning any one of these three teams. But since Pakistan is an unpredictable team, it is not possible to guess about them. They had a good innings in the last match. We can see a good win in the next match too which is not impossible.
New Zealand is also there who performed well against England as team and won 2 out of 2 matches with healthy run rate close to 2. They also will be a contender for the top 4 teams based on their performance, but about Pakistan they can prove their ability on Oct.14 against India because their two matches are against much easier teams.

Good News for India

Our upcoming Kohli and Rohit Sharma replacement Shubhman Gill has been discharged from the hospital. Indian media reported that he has already reached Ahmedabad, I won't share the link here as you can do a simple Google search. I cannot confirm whether he will be playing in the upcoming important game against Pakistan. However, it is not possible to play a game in just a couple of days after fighting dengue as he was hospitalized due to a low platelet count.

Indian team has performed well in his absence in the last two matches. I think they will allow him to rest as India is in a better position on the point table after they won against Afghanistan. India is ranked second on the point table with a NRR of +1.5 below New Zealand as this team has multiple options. I still fell India should think about Ishan Kishan as he does not look comfortable while opening the innings.

Good news but the issue is he is still in the recovery and medical experts says it will take at least two weeks for a complete recovery from Dengue so he may miss the Pakistan match too if I am not wrong.

Also BCCI mentioned that they are not seeking a replacement for Gill so he will likely to back in whenever he is ready.

While I heard some contrast news from former Indian player who mentioned that BCCI asked Ruturaj and Jaiswal to be prepared as back up on air while doing commentary on yesterday's match.

Rohit Sharma - the Hitman has killed the hopes of Afghanistan by nearing his runs to 100 (not so far). I am amazed how Afghanistan managed to score 272, but with current RR and looking at the required RR, India is already a winner of this match without losing a single wicket at the time of writing and may not lose any, as the combo of Sharma - Kishan is very deadly.
It will be like icing on the cake to see Ishan Kishan too opening up his arms and start co-operating Rohit in this run chase and end up the game quickly to achieve a good net RR.
Hitman broken many records yesterday.

1. The player to hit most number of sixes in all international format. (surpassed Gayle)

2. Fastest century scored by an Indian batter in world cup match (came after 40 years).

3. Fastest player to reach 1000 runs in WC, sharing with Warner on the 19 innings. (previously Sachin in 20 innings)

It looks to see such kind of blazing performance from Captain which is really needed for him after a long time, and I hope he is back into the form of 2019 where he scored 5 centuries.
