I never expected the test match between West Indies vs Zimbabwe going end  match draw. but it's happened Zimbabwe played Will at last day.


Zimbabwe will be happy with this result, after losing the previous match. Actually, nothing separated the two teams and this is a fair result. I don't think West Indies could have forced a result even if there was an extra day in this match.

WI team totally lose their reputation in cricket history because they won the first two cricket world cups and now this team need to go through qualifying matches to enter into world teams. This all happened because of bad management from WI cricket board. Most of the good players play only club matches and not playing for the country. I don't know whether they are purposely playing bad or lost the interest to play for their country.
It is their duty to play for their country but they are just worried about money . Gayle , Bravo have earned enough money in IPL and other county but still they concentrate on other money-earning clubs rather than playing for their country .

Not only just players duty but the board also need to consider their reasonable demands and work with the team to convince to play for the nation. They got a one of the best batsman and bowlers in the team but still, they are not able to play together and win the matches.

Again placed a bet of 0.12btc on India to win the second t20 match against Newzealand... I think India are too good a team right now specially their bowling is very strong with main batsman in form...go India again

Yes, India is in prime form and they are favorite for the next game, but NZ gave them tough time in the last match. It was a very close match and they lost by small margin. Anything can happen in T20, so i would suggest you to play safe and make sure place cross bets on NZ if required. Don't forget, 0.12 BTC is big amount and value still increasing.

Somehow I'm feeling that today NZ may win the match. It will be another exciting match for cricket lovers to watch.

West indies has been on the decline for quiet a while now, and this result hardly is a surprise to me. As far as the players who should play for the country is concerned, it's very easy to say that, do you have any idea of how bad financial condition is in West indies. Their board refuses to support them, all they are interested to earn money. They did what they had to do to sustain themselves, they didn't revert to fixing, rather play the sport.

New Zealand is in a strong position, they are hurting and they are hurting bad and I feel tonight if they get a chance they shall. Express themselves. Looks a good match to play on.
8222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you ever convince or encourage someone to invest in Bitcoin? on: November 03, 2017, 09:46:12 AM
Bitcoin has been awesome and will always be awesome. We, who have been involved in Bitcoin since the very early days understand this very well. However, for the laymen, for the people who don't really understand the technical aspects of Bitcoin or those who only watch the mainstream media are skeptic about Bitcoin. Since, all they hear in the News is how Bitcoin can be used for illegal activities and how it offers complete anonymity (common misconception) to people to do what they need on Internet.

Have you ever convinced or encouraged anyone to invest in Bitcoin and did you have success? Of course, since we know that we are giving a good advice, so we would usually advice our own family members or friends about this.

In the past few months, I encouraged some of my friends to invest in Bitcoin. They had a lot of questions about it from technical perspective and I helped them understand. They invested in Bitcoin and are very happy with the returns. And now this information propagates and more people will get involved in Bitcoin.

In my humble opinion, as a Bitcoin enthusiast, we can help understand people the positive aspects of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin is still in the very initial stages and those of us who really understand what Bitcoin offers, know that Bitcoin Price is only 1/10th of what it's worth right now.

What are the most common responses you get from laymen about investing in Bitcoin?

Some popular ones I receive are:

1. "Oh, it's already too expensive, I cannot afford to buy it."
2. "The governments don't regulate it, why should I invest in it?"
3. "It's an illegal currency and only cyber criminals use it."
4. "What backs up Bitcoin? For example US Dollar is backed by Trust (all time favorite response Cheesy), but what backs up Bitcoin?"
5. "The market is way too volatile to invest."
6. "You can't really use Bitcoin as a currency."

Hahaha last year around September I came across Bitcoins when the value was 900$ and I told people around me, that's this Is something worth having and people scoffed at me, some even called me a fool that it was ponzi and in less than a year I am now daily bombarded by messages, and people have invested heavily on my advice from a fool suddenly I am now refereed as Bitcoin expert. This feeling is great and I did only basis, I kept on investing and showed people the profits, the charts and boom people brought a lot and they are very happy to.

Someone post their experiences with casinos please, I'm a very hesitant when it comes to gambling yet alone ONLINE gambling but if I hear that some of these casinos actually pay out I might give it a try...

I can understand your fears are legit, and I feel you have rarely played In online based Casinos or if you have played or maybe someone may have played and had a bad experience. Well initially I played on prime dice but I hardly won, but have heard they pay, same luck on rollio I don't know if it's active they closed signature campaign and some said Casino was closing. Then I came to play at Bitdice whose signature I am wearing, they far are the best, on time payment, plus you get to win here a lot, you'll barely hear any complaints about them, you can see their ann they have provably fair methods and they keep on making their site even fairer to users. So don't keep the gambler waiting and click on my signature and do post your success stories
8224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Is Too Complicated for Average People! on: November 03, 2017, 08:26:51 AM
Well, I think it is indeed too much complicated and harder to use, you have to have knowledge about how it works on internet. You have to make an account, buy bitcoin from different sites ( which takes 5% to 7% Fees) then transfer to exchanges for trading or to use.

How can a normal people, who usually watch youtube video, use fb or other social media, you expect him/her to know all these things? I seen people give up easily, and think it's too techy.

I believe if Bitcoin sell coins on their official website, with lower fees, such as 1% to 2%, and make  a simple wallet for people to use, more & more people would buy and use it.
What is your opinion on it? discuss..

Well no pain no gain, no efforts no money, Bitcoin is not some science or algebra that you need to understand, it's a simple currency you buy it like you buy and sell stocks, like you need to buy a stock you contact a broker who places that order on the exchanges, that's how simple it gets. People often misunderstand this whole concept of Bitcoins, thinking it's difficult and complicated, but in reality it's very simple and easy to understand you don't need to do anything that great.

current captcha system is too bad.

you can change captcha if you want to
but seriously? there is nothing worse than Google captcha for me at the moment
on my PC it takes at least 5-6 tries to complete and I have to be logged out of all Google accounts to even be able to
because otherwise it just gives the neverending "bad captcha" loop
and this crap started a couple of months ago and can't be fixed whatever I tried,bar reinstalling Windows,of course
It's not only you having problems with Google's ReCaptcha, it's more of a general problem.

Yes sometimes on other faucets it can take me 6 or 7 pictures to validate the captcha... On freebitco.in you can switch to solveMedia or deposit to play without captcha at all.
Tell me how to switch to SolveMedia captcha? Because this function isn't available anymore. Now you only will get ReCaptcha either 6 letter captcha. Only on Freedoge.co.in you can choose yourself between ReCaptcha and SolveMedia.

I think there isn't any option to change the captcha system currently.
As far I remember in my last login I saw two options, not sure exactly.
But indeed google recaptcha is a pain sometime.

I hope admin will keep both the options for their users..

I am so glad that there are people who are also annoyed by the captcha on the site, initially we all could easily switch between solve media and Google captcha, but then Google captcha was so bad that I opted for solve media, however at times I felt that was also not that great, and this inbuilt captcha they use its very bad. If admin reads it, there this captcha site http://www.captchme.com would request If you could integrate this, site also earns, user also happy.
8226  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price prediction 2018 on: November 03, 2017, 04:33:37 AM
Easy question: What price do you expect for Bitcoin in 2018 ?
Please just write the number so we will get a nice and clean overview!

what i say:


14,500 $

 Smiley


Its difficult to reach a clear cut price as it's Bitcoins, currently also if you see its only rising because there's speculation that there will be futures coming, and what happens if there is indeed futures and there is no futures so you need to consider this. So fork and everything goes well, I see it at 8k at the start and 12k by mid year, and if more countries adopt then 15k is a reality, on the downfall I see it at 5k and at max 8k by year 2018 end. It's difficult to read between the lines.

Nice!  I guess we'll see all 5 EPL clubs in the KO stages then?  I think that's a first in the CL's history!  That's pretty exciting imo.  We could see one or two of them reach the semi finals.  And hopefully see one in the finals.  Man City anyone?  Grin
4 from 5 english teams had good results yesterday besides Chelsea especially duo of Manchester with 4 times streak to win during their participate in champion league this season but possibly yes they will went to knockout phase however Tottenham was surprising me with able to beat Real Madrid


English teams are making a comeback in football and it's just amazing to see how they were considered underdogs and suddenly they are playing better than their European counterparts and it's really surprising that, team's like Real Madrid and Barcelona are slumping. Once the leaders and now they look so ordinary in every department. Especially Madrid, they just don't have any motivation to play for, I feel there is a crisis and someone will be sacked (zidane). I will hate that, but then it's Madrid what else can you expect. I believe Manchester city can reach finals, they are a top class at the moment.
8228  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / To Greed or to play it safe. on: November 02, 2017, 04:54:39 AM
As we all know come 16th November there are two coins, one we know as Bitcoins, other Bitcoin2x, initially I was using a coinbase.com wallet, but before Bitcoin cash fork I moved it to electrum wallet. Now my question is with this fork all but going to happen, coinbase.com has said it will credit equal Bitcoin2x and in electrum It automatically doesn't happen. In coinbase.com if I take a chance I don't have private keys and that's scary but the greed is there to. What should I do be greedy and go back to coinbase.com and post btc2x shift back to electrum. Or any way I can stay in electrum and do it. Need your advise and suggestions, something that can be easily be done and not at risk to my coins.
8229  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 ICO ANNOUNCE 15 AUG 2017! JOIN THE TRANSFORMATION! 🎰🎰🎰 on: November 02, 2017, 04:33:48 AM
We can all agree that BitDice is a gambling website not a cryptocurrency exchanger so having your bitcoins there doesn't guarantee that you are going to have bitcoin gold and even the value is tanking after the fork. It's doowed to follow the same trend as Bitcoin Cash as well any alt coins that emerges after future forks.
Yes I also agree on alex decision to not support bitcoin gold or whatever further fork we will have. Bitcoin gold on other hand is premined and GPU mineable so it can't hold same charm as bitcoin for sure.

Most of the cryptocurrency exchanger also haven't credited their users with bitcoin gold, best way to get any forked coin is to store them in paper wallet or electrum like wallet.

Does that mean the exchanger got a BTG from the fork and will not give it to their customers?
Only exchanges those support btg fork will credit the user with btg(if one held at the time of snapshot), i know bittrex and binance will credit btg. it's best to just withdraw your btc to a wallet with full control, if you want the forked coins.

Even XAPO online wallet also credited BTG to my account already but they are not allowing now to withdraw or exchange because they think that still BTG network not safe to send or receive. I had only some coins in XAPO but most of the bitcoins I store in my desktop wallets so easy to access BTG when a stable wallet is ready.


Well, if anyone's wondering about Bitcoin Gold, they've already run into all sorts of problems. Coinbase first said they weren't transparent, saying that they will premine the coin before releasing full options to other miners. If you go on their blog now also it's unclear whether or not they've completed all the work they promised to do, such as replay protection and the completion of equihash.

Exchanges seem to have traded already, some on futures and some actual BTG, but the price just keeps on declining. All sorts of allegations happening now, seems wise for BitDice to have just stayed away from this.
Bitcoin gold is a mess, even if I would like the community to stay united I do not mind if there are some forks, however at least the bitcoin cash fork had everything put together, there was replay protection and everything was running in the date they said it will, bitcoin gold in the other hand at first said it had replay protection and then they were giving a bounty to anyone that could do it for them, that is unprofessional and now we know there is going to be a premine and that makes that coin even less attractive in eyes of the majority.

I think Bitcoin Gold lost alot of its credibility with the premine AND with the replay protection bounty because they couldn't do it themselves.

First they were gonna go with some ICO but that quickly got rejected and then they decided to do the premine but later they halved it and make it time-locked.

However with the late deadlines and lack of coding and time is running out. Its launch is going to be a cluster of a headache most likely and won't be as smooth as the ETH hard fork or as the Bitcoin Cash hard fork.

I am yet surprised that we're yet discussing about Bitcoins gold, it's was the best decision by Alex to not get involved in that shit coin and stay away from it, he has saved a lot of users a lot of money. Plus if you want free btc2x you can shift your coins to coinbase.com they are giving but if you loose your bitcoins in the process you can't blame them.

Hey guys,

BitDice has joined Crypto Gambling Foundation.

The Crypto Gaming Foundation is going to be setting a standard for transparency and fairness in our gaming community. Online casinos are amongst the least trusted businesses in the world with only 34% of people believing that online gambling is fair and can be trusted.

Regards,
Alex.

Bitdice has been one of the most credible online Casino ever, look at the complaints in other casino boards and you'll hardly even find any complaints here. This is another move to even make it even more credible. Love it more.

So I am planning on putting 500 euros on Eth and Btc each(€1000 in total) to hold for long term. Is it a bad time to invest in those crypto-currencies?

Who told you it's bad? Bad is your investing in eth lol. That's a alt and alts are no good. You'll earn lots of money in Bitcoins and will find superior returns in it to. Hold for the long term and invest on every dip so you have a good average over time. Investing in Bitcoin is the best decision you'll make, so put money in it and it possible we can see 7k before this year end. You have made a very good decision now, just invest in Bitcoin and see the magic.
8231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: November 01, 2017, 03:40:27 AM
This season doesn't look good for Real Madrid... They are trailling for Barcelona for 8 points. They need to start wining if they want to defend the title.
Its really sad to see title contenders failing to win games against teams that just got promoted into the big boys league, other fans are crying out for the replacement of Benzema who they feel is under performing,not sure if its justifiable but 8 points might not seem much but if the gap widens further team morale will drop and cost them the La Liga title.
Everyone team has a crisis once in a while and this time it's Real Madrid's time to go under crisis and it's also Zinedine Zidane first crisis as a manager and the way he turns it around will prove the type of manager that he is going to be in the future.

Well i think he's run out of luck and needs some refilling because his lucky days were the past two seasons and now reality has set in, he's got to show us what he's made of like you said because it's not easy to maintain the altitude after you go up high.

After 2 amazing years, there is a physiological decline in both performance and attention.
The advantage of Barcelona (8 points) is high and now Real Madrid seems already out of the games to conquer the Liga this year.
Real Madrid may reopen the Liga only by winning the direct confrontation of December 20 at the Bernabeu.

This was only a matter of time before this happened, the problem is real Madrid is built of a team full of super stars and in the last two years they have achieved everything that's there for them to win, they won the league, two times champion league so there was a complete lack of motivation from the player, coach and bosses. Look at their summer window, they hardly brought and sold a solid player like morata instead of selling benzema. Barcelona have won this league now all Madrid can look to champion league, but big question is will Zidane stay or he'll be sacked.

someone who like to gamble hard to escape from the gambling trap. almost like a drug addict. Even after they went bankrupt still struggling to gamble by borrowing money for gambling. Actually what do they expect?

Its very difficult to really escape gambling, it's like a addictIon and very rare have i heard that people who get in, move out so it's my personal story, initially I started with just few $, and then when it grew 100 - 1000$ I didn't realize to, and i went into debt of 10000$ grands, so it was difficult to come out, but I finally managed to get myself by sheer discipline, worked well for few months before i went back and started playing back and won and lost, it's very difficult lol.
8233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: October 31, 2017, 08:20:58 AM
We have a very important game as we will get to see Roma hosting Chelsea, the home side is second at the table with no lose to record they have a good defense and they are very good at home but I don't think that they can stop Chelsea from scoring they know that because they game can be very decisive for qualifications and Roma knows that so they have to get a positive results in this one as Atletico looking to get a spot in the next round so I think that this one will be difficult to know the winner so I'm going for goals on this one and over 2.5 goals is my betting top.
In the first leg of the game, I honestly thought that Chelsea were going to overrun AS Roma in the game but it was rather Chelsea who were lucky to have not lose that game, with the absence of Ngolo Kante,  I know clearly see how influential he is to the side . The second leg will be a cracker and am sure there will be lots of goals as well.

I have watched  a couple of AS Roma games this season and i must they've proven me wrong because they are playing better now than ever and i wouldn't be surprised they will nail Chelsea in Rome or worst case scenario-draw the game.

Roma is playing preety well and I don't expect Chelsea to come in here and win that easily, but then again Chelsea have the conte and Morrata advantage, they both are Italian champions and they both know how to Win this game. I expect Roma to play for the full and give them a very tough fight. Also Bayern may just get lucky and escape with a victory considering they really been poor this season, I feel Manchester United shall win this match, and we shall see Lindelof again, I hope he find his feet soon.
8234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Any one effected? on: October 31, 2017, 04:32:01 AM
This Is what I found in my mail box, Xapo is one of the most trusted wallet and if their wallet can be effected this is bad, do you think Xapo is at fault here? And most importantly has any one out here been effected, if yes how much you lost, is Xapo going to restore it? I was suggested to use xapo but I opted for other wallets, so I am safe but wanted to know what's happening to others.


We want to let you know that our security team has recently detected a series of phishing attacks and some of our users have already been affected. During these attacks, malicious sites impersonating Xapo’s platforms, requested crucial security information such as login credentials from our users.

At first glance, it is extremely hard to tell the difference between some attackers and a real site. This comparison below shows how difficult this can be.
8235  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: October 30, 2017, 09:38:38 AM
Another crazy thing happened in freebitco.in lottery - user with only 2 tickets won 0.11908959 BTC. It's not first place prize worth 2 btc, but still, it's nice amount of money. Since provably fair lottery was implemented, we can swe quite often that users with extremely low amount of tickets win in the lottery.
This time it's possible that was accidental user of freebitco.in who maybe will not return to freebitco.in again. And maybe he even will not realize that he won btc in lottery. I know that every lottery winner got email notification, but manny people not checking their email messages carefully.

If i am not wrong that user should be new account created some time or days ago, as if you can see that out of 10 winners most of them are new account created ids. That is why never recommend anyone to play lottery as it is fully manipulated by the developers.
that's a question that dev should answer i don't think that its just a co-incidence but .11 btc really a big amount and a player that only got
2 tickets won the jackpot, so lucky and that's everyone's dream and the reason why we keep trying and using this site.

It's a provably fair lottery so the developer has no need to answer that question. If anyone has any doubts they can follow the instructions to verify the results themselves. Of course not reading the information on the site and just posting unfounded scepticism is the easier thing to do.


This is the favorite question, of all freebitco.in and there were two views on this first people felt it was rigged and that's there no way to verify it, for a very long time this debate was going on, until people who actually had old. Accounts came here and verified that they indeed won, freebitco.in doesn't invite you or force you to play lottery, its has a option to disable the lottery tickets. Plus doesn't this entire post seem more about jealousy than user winning it. It's already been proven here, plus they have a way to track it to, so I don't think they need to justify or even bother saying anything.
8236  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why bitcoin can never go past $7000 on: October 30, 2017, 04:24:05 AM
Bitcoin's volatility has been steadily decreasing over time, which means huge price movements upwards are less likely than ever. Sorry it's not going to happen. I think 5000-6000 range is the correct or fair price, so selling at the higher end of this range would bring profit at least and then I think alt coins start making more sense at that point

This is so funny, you're saying Bitcoin is volatile and that's why it won't grow up, but that's the very reason it is really up. You just need to wait and watch Bitcoin shall cross 7k very soon, the upward swing has began, many countries are accepting BITCOIN and we shall soon see the mother of all rallies, China is coming back into the picture and I am sure many countries, will follow suit, if you decide to cash out now, you'll loose your profits, choice is yours, until it's not urgent don't sell.
8237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which one? on: October 30, 2017, 04:20:31 AM
BITCOIN is the future without question.
Question is which one to invest, Bitcoin,BitcoinCash,BTG,and more forks coming soon?

This question is going to be in the minds of several person's, and my suggestion is stick to the king of crypto currencie that is Bitcoins, any other alts are never good, they loose value and interest very soon, they only get thier five minutes of fame, cause they are attached to the name of Bitcoins. Look at the chart of alts and look at the charts of Bitcoins, look at that huge market cap, returns, users. So my advice no matter what happens Bitcoin it is.

This is a hypothetical question. Obviously noone knows the answer but I would like to know your hypothesis.

What if Satoshi would move his coins to either Bitcoin Cash or Segwit2X. What would happen to the price of all 3 Bitcoin? Including Bitcoin Legacy

No he would never do anything like it, had satoshi's been here, he never would have led this happens, all this Bitcoin and segwit2x would never take place, again let's assume satoshi's is out there somewhere, why would he do it, when segwit2x has no actionable replay, that would be going against his own principles and that's not going to happen, Bitcoin cash is shit and again he would never go there. So your hypothesis would never really occur.
8239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin fees make me angry on: October 29, 2017, 01:43:41 PM
What the hell ?




it's way too much . i pay higher on fees than the amount i'm sending to people
and i work a lot with bitcoin on small amounts..

The best solution i found now is  pay using ETH , then convert it to BTC using changelly. (something like 0.2$ fees) and its automatic.
Shapeshift is also take huge fees and blockchain.info support it to be part of their site. (don't use) .



Yes this fees issue has been there for quite a while now, many of us have faced this kind of issue, but I feel it's wise to use Bitcoins for a bigger transactions, than use this kind of transactions, what you did was also correct, and sensible to, but I feel you should stick with bitcoins for large transactions, and higher returns, if you only do small transactions, then continue, your method but have large eth is bad, you won't get returns like Bitcoins.
