is it a coincidence that halving occur in a leap year? i was thinking about this for a moment...

I was too curious and looked about it. It seems the halving occurs in about a few months short of 4 years.
The bitcoin was launched on the starting days of 2009 and the next halving came on late 2012, the date came a little earlier on 2016 and even earlier on 2020. So, it can be expected that next halving would be even earlier. That way, in a couple of more halving, halving date would come earlier than a leap year.

^^Fair enough , no one can argue with that if players are not feeling comfortable due to pandemic and family concern are genuine. Test match don't pay that much amount anyway so its understandable, good part is Windies board not making any fuss over this one.

The infection rates are going down, and while I respect the decision by these players, I would not be supporting it. My question is, if the IPL was scheduled instead of the bilateral series, would these players still stay at home and forfeit the salary? West Indies cricket is not in a good state now. They need to win consistently against the Big 3. Nowadays, they are even struggling to get an automatic qualification for the ODI world cup.

Rate of new infections might decreased but the infections are not going down in most places. And test matches would be much more difficult to organize technically as all of those players needs to stay and play for days. Test cricket is much different from IPL. IPL is a money machine while viewership of test matches are record low. They might cancel every matches to go with IPL as they have the best TV viewership.

I don't know if this exists yet I'm crypto space, sorry if my question sounds dumb or something, I'm trying to find an app that can give alert on my smartphone whenever a new token enters my ethereum address.... Is there such?

You can sign up in Etherscan and enable email notification for you watch address, the address can be from anywhere even of other people and as soon as the address receive something you get a email. Trust wallet app can be enabled to send push notification on receiving known coins and ERC20 tokens to your trust wallet address.

Hacking and Scamming is not the real problem bitcoin faces in the future. It can be easily minimized if users became cautious and aware of the risks.
People as well services would keep learning to be safe with every bad experience and though we might not attend a 100% safe system but we are working towards a system that makes our transactions safer.
865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What type of gambling do you want? on: June 06, 2020, 12:43:56 PM
Dice and Crash are the favorite for many when it comes to online gambling and I am not different.
Dice is fast and Crash is social. I would be much more fascinated if someone somehow be able to combine the good of those two to create something that is fast as well as social. Such format would surely be a hit.

The places which failed to contain and control the virus are now moving towards living with virus. What we are already doing with HIV but Covid is much easily transmitted. It's been seen that as people get used to a virus, they would be affected less. The virus would get less severe and people would stop getting afraid of it. It should have been done from the start but coronavirus was exaggerated much more for political cause.
867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's Next After Halving? on: June 06, 2020, 01:59:50 AM
I think it's time for the developers to think about other ways to secure the network. The current POW has been too much resource hungry as large part of miners cost are electricity bills. Not only the current mining system is decreasing the miners profit but it also is a large drain on global energy supply. If we couldn't think a way of making it more efficient.
868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "NEW NORMAL" Betting on: June 05, 2020, 07:06:01 PM
Not just sports, the current stand still is affecting every economic aspects. China was the first and only country to significantly reduce the case and open up. Taiwan and South Korea also did some impressive work in containing but everywhere else the things are still out of control. The curve may have flatten but opening up may bring another wave of virus. So, for most country it would be balancing between opening up and preventing the virus. Our society is not going to open as they were in 2019. The games on empty stadium may last longer than we are thinking.

I am just tired of hearing his lies. If I were the judge I would have already jailed him for contempt of court.
How can a man lie straight multiple of times and still get a media attention? He is not even the president of US.
The case is also venturing away from it's intention and getting too long. There should be a judgement soon and make him liable for the klemein estates loss.

Scammers in Telegram, well, there are scammers without Telegram, just why position a beautiful creation like Telegram with scammers, Telegram is a multi-functional tool with the ability to create a bot and a lot of other functionality, but as the question comes to do something useful through Telegram, many say telegram and there are scammers.

Telegram could be used as a general chat room but people should not ask for or deliver support through telegram as people there can easily create any number of fake accounts and change the name and telegram anytime they wish. This is a function to maintain privacy but people use it to try to cheat others.
871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Extremely Low Oil Prices Might impact Bitcoin Mining Industry on: June 04, 2020, 09:54:36 AM
Mining is a large investment. People just don't buy miners when oil prices are cheap and stop mining when they gets higher. Most of the miners maintains a steady flow of electricity throughout the year as stooping the miner is losing the money, specially considering bitcoin mining hardware. They need to make a profit before the new hardware comes into the market.

Home advantage is more about the field than about the audience. Audience mostly are a pressure while players doing practices on the field almost everyday are well aware of every slight angles and imperfections of the ground. They are much familiar to external factors like sun and the wind.

People sometimes can't get their preference right. They just needs a wake up call. But not everyone is easily convinced.
Our society is made up of different kinds of people and their are always different thoughts. Our soceity won't function if we thought the similar and did the same.
There needs to be seller when people buy and their needs to be buyer when they sell.

If people are curious about inheritance, China is a communist nation where the people don't necessarily own what they have or use.
Government in China, more specifically the CCP owns every land and buildings in China, agricultural lands are collectively owned.
There are many restrictions on what the people can inherit to their child, now cryptocurrencies has been added as inheritable asset.

People may take time to realize how good bitcoin is but they'll realize it sooner or later. But every statement by these bankers needs to be looked with suspicion.
JP Morgan called bitcoin bubble, restricted his bank to work along with crypto. He eventually bought some cheap coins and now has changed his narrative of bitcoin as well policy of his bank. This person can turn anyway if he sold his coins in the future.

interesting address, did you create it by some vanity generator or is it pure accident?
when you look at the hash (HASH160 of public key) of this address in hexadecimal there is nothing special about it:
Code:
5ad6b5af33003a9ef811bb4c9a048a46eca33b38
but when you look at it in binary and group the bits in groups of 5 (which is what bech32 encoding does) it consists of 6 consecutive 0b01011 which is equal to 11 or letter t in bech32 encoding. Roll Eyes

I used a vanity generator. Went in with many large strings and it was the first to pop up in several minutes.

Bundesliga already on, La Liga and Premier league are to start soon. Italy is also talking about resuming the league. French made decision of crowning without completing. Though the stadium would lack viewers, the most people view it in TV and maybe our sports would remain so for years to come. Now is the right time to implement 3D/AR cameras on football to bring live actions to viewers.

Yeah but that's not the real big deal there, beware of more manipulative acts by cz.Smiley
Lol, the fact is you can only manipulate volume not liquidity, there is no way to go about it, the truth will be revealed instantly, don't underestimate CZ, he is a money making man but he has huge reputation to protect, it's win win for everybody when it comes to CZ

Not only volume, liquidity from centralized exchanges too cannot be trusted. They implement several ways to manipulate it. They even rig APIs.
CMC did this change mostly to bring Binance in number one position. Which itself is a message that they would manipulate the data to make it look the way they want. Not going to trust CMC blindly.
880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: May 29, 2020, 03:09:03 AM
That's good, so we can see Liverpool become EPL champions for the first time.
At least the first in the last 20 years. Liverpool last won the EPL in the 1989-90 season and the 2019-2020 season allowed them to repeat the long-awaited history.

It's been a long time to wait this moment, i wish Liverpool bring this dream come true after few times they failed to be a champions in the last week.
Since 1992, at least Liverpool has been runner up 4 times precisely in the 2001-2002 season, 2008-2009, 2013-2014, and the latest is 2018-2019. For this season I think they have a 99% chance of getting the title.

And at last settle my bet for EPL winners which been pending for a long time now. 1970s and 1980s were the times of Liverpool in English football. And now again they have built up a solid team, diverse yet  well balanced on every aspects. If they be able to retain current team and composition, they'd be unchallenged for years to come.
