Thanks for the heads up.

This information you provided will surely help newbies and of course other members here too. These guys are so smart that if you do not look into their scam website minutely you will easily fall to it.

Few months back I has recieved some what similar mail for BAT token airdrop. They had exactly replicated Brave website and the only difference was the url.

In my opinion it is good if you can contact them on their Twitter handles. Most of them are pretty active their.

ECB trying "The 100 Balls" tournament which got delayed due to pandemic. It would be nice addition in the game of cricket as 4th format if spectators gives some positive response.

If it is entertaining then it will be adopted world wide and if Asian countries starts adopting it then it will be a huge success.

Most South Asian country will adopt it as it will be super entertaining to watch the 100 ball format. The short the version the more exiting it will be. I am sure it will be all about hitting sixes and four. Sadly ballers will again get destroyed and only the best will survive this version.
5206  Other / Meta / Re: What rewards does the one who Merits someone for quality post gets in return? on: June 13, 2020, 05:32:07 AM
Implementing a reward system will reduce the quality as more members will merit post just to achieve rewards. The current concept which is in practice is working as it has improved the quality of post.

It would be nice if a Merit system can be added for those who are reporting spam content in the forum. This will drastically reduce spam post by a significant amount. I know it is increase the pressure on moderators a lot but it will help the forum in the long run.

Thanks for sharing this important update.

Such issues are creating a negative image of a movement that is for the benefit of a particular community. Most scammers use such issues to fund their own personal objectives.

Few days back I heard another news about a token created to fund this movement, which ofcourse it was not.

I am always careful about mails that I recieve but such mails are hard to ignore. Thanks for the heads-up.

Players can forget their salaries as the parent company of Zee Entertainment LTD might go bankrupt. I think earlier those who were heading BCCI were not big risk takers but things have changed a lot with the new President.

Hmm.. I remember what happened with the ICL. The players received very harsh punishments from their respective boards. For example, Shane Bond was at his peak form, and this controversy destroyed his career. He did play a few matches in the IPL, but by then his career was largely over. And even after all this, the players never received their full salaries.

I might add his "Injuries part" as well. He was beautiful bowler but had a habit of getting injured from time to time. This was the major reason he never became regular in NZ squad, ICL did play its part in destroying his career, which i agree.
Ian Bishop Shane Bone and Paul Allot these three great bowlers we lost very quickly just because of Injuries really big lost for cricket as Paul done great record work in 1999 world cup.

The worst happened with the new comers from India, their career ended before getting started. I still feel players were punished very harshly. They only went for the money and they got destroyed for it completely.

I am also feeling these relationship are not going to improve because its not in favour of politicians and here in sub continent politics is biggest business for a small group which is very powerful so never think about cricket here between these two countries.

I am neither Indian, nor Pakistani. But for now, let's stop this topic diversion. If there is any improvement in the situation between India and Pakistan, then we can resume this conversation.

If any of you guys are interested in the T20 World Cup 2020, then I have good news for you. Scott Morrison (Australian PM) today announced that 25% crowd will be allowed in the stadiums for major events. He didn't explicitly mentioned the world cup, but there is a good chance that it will move forward now.

This piece of news will give great boost to the International Cricket Council (ICC) & Cricket Australia (CA) to move ahead with the ICC T20 World Cup. On the contrary, the Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) hopes of hosting Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 this year will be pegged back.

Yes the Australian Government will allow up to 10k people in stadiums starting soon. Australia have big stadiums so I think it can work and I think it could also work for the T20 world cup if the ICC do go ahead as planned and maybe by then we could see a lot more fans allowed to attend the games. First we must see how this goes with the football games and lets just hope it works out for the best.

Great news if the Australian government allows matches to happen in a stadium filled with crowds then it will certainly be welcomed by the ICC and also boost the chances of T20 Worldcup happening this year.

I hope everything goes well with the present matches.

I had participated in their bounty last year and did earn some tokens from it, which I did not sell at that time and kept it on the exchange. I haven't checked it yet but I think it might be worth something now. It is a good dex exchange with very good support.

Who cares? Whether there was any fee charged or not but it is a fantastic way to promote Bitcoin and the lightening network. The best thing here is that someone recorded a video and posted it on YouTube. It becomes easier to explain  or understand one of the benfits of using Bitcoin.

It is good for the Indian board to include Pakistani players in IPL because it will create more interest in the tournament and the direct benefit will go to the Indians but both countries political conditions doesn't allow this.
In my personal opinion i would like to separate sports and politics but that is not the way things work around here which is sad and i do not think there is restriction for any other sports and as long as cricket is used as a political tool you cannot expect India and Pakistan playing each other in a bilateral series nor allowing Pakistan players in the IPL especially when the present government is ruling.

 I don't see any clear vision of when can we be able to see IPL.
Three months lock down and the number of patients touches 10k per day and the government has no idea where it will end and they cannot shut everything down, they are opening up the market which is funny it is hard to imagine what the future holds financially.

When you have bigger shit at hands do we really care about the IPL Wink.

Same is happening in Pakistan. When the number of covid 19 case are alarming high, the government should close down and observe a more strict lock down but infact they have opened everything allowing the virus to spread freely than ever before. Sad
I never understand the strategy of both the government of India and Pakistan.
Both Governments are going without any good and strong strategy and doing only political scoring games which are killing innocent peoples and creating financial problems for millions both have same dull minds and nothing serious to do any good thing for lower class peoples this is big difference between developed countries and corrupt countries leadership.

Currently it is not important on how the relations are going on between the both countries. More important thing is how these both countries will deal with the covid 19 situation as more and more people are getting jobless because of this crisis.

The condition is same for all the South Asian countries except Bhutan and Burma. People in these countries are either dying of hunger or because of covid19.  The situation is getting worst everyday and government is helpless.

If a vaccine comes out this year it will still take three years to reach every individual living in this part of the world because of
the population density.

ICL was the reason BCCI started IPL after destroying it. Many good players were there and most of them got banned by BCCI.

Found this match on Youtube [CL Final Lahore Badshahs vs Hyderabad Heros 2008 ] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_wkrMPWNmU

Historically, BCCI has opposed new innovations in cricket, such as T20, franchise leagues and DRS. I don't know the real reason for this. Perhaps they want to stick to the traditional way of playing and were happy with the test and ODI formats. ICL players were left high and dry after the BCCI banned them. ICL was owned by the Zee Entertainment Enterprises, and they refused to pay salaries for most of the players after the league folded up. 12 years have passed and till date the dues are still outstanding.

Players can forget their salaries as the parent company of Zee Entertainment LTD might go bankrupt. I think earlier those who were heading BCCI were not big risk takers but things have changed a lot with the new President.

Without the Pakistani players still, IPL is interesting and viewership has not declined. I do not think it will happen in the near future as there is no political will from both sides.

There is only a limited number of slots available for the overseas players as the maximum threshold per playing XI is four. So we have 8 teams right now, and 32 overseas players can regularly feature in the tournament. Considering the current form of Pakistani players, I would say that not many of them would be selected by the IPL teams, even if the option is available. The first preference is for West Indian and Australian players, followed by those from England and South Africa.

Still form or no form because of the rift between these two countries I would still be open and get entertained if Pakistan and India resume their bilateral series. That would benefit both the nation as sponsors and advertisers will be on BCCI'S doorstep. A good way to generate revenue for both nations.

But it is next to impossible now to even think about it.

Or may be entry in the Olympic is the key? There is a good chance if it get accepted in Olympics then fair amount of European or south american countries would show some interest, followed by North. then may be we can expect more money pumping into the game.
~Edited out~

Then we all know that the IPL started shutting the ICL which was another private company coming up with a tournament signing big players and BCCI and ICC banned several players who were signed to them and forced them to close their doors and then IPL started and followed everything what ICL did with cheer leaders and all those fancy things and this is recent history.

For global acceptance you need to see some kind of similar innovation from private players and for that ICC need to allow to accept them which is not going to happen.
This other tournament had kapil dev backing right? i remember reading something about it.

ECB trying "The 100 Balls" tournament which got delayed due to pandemic. It would be nice addition in the game of cricket as 4th format if spectators gives some positive response.

@JSRAW I had to use google to remind myself what ICL was, and it’s really sad that back then they didn’t take BCCI permission to start their operations otherwise the league wouldn’t have got banned. Furthermore the 100 ball tournament is not a bad idea, and after reading the tournament rules on Wikipedia, I’m pretty sure that it’ll be a hit among the fans if they decide to implement it in the official ICC formats.

While ICC is deciding whether to postpone T20 Worldcup next year, BCCI has decided to host IPL this year. Looks like Ganguly doesn't care about ICC's decision anymore Tongue

The BCCI is working on all possible options to ensure that we are able to stage the IPL this year, even if it means playing the tournament in empty stadiums.

While Mumbai is the most corona affected region in India,  Mumbai Indians have decided to start their training from Today under strict guidelines  Lips sealed

This is going to be a historic blunder from the part of the BCCI. The pandemic in India is yet to peak, and with every passing day there is an increase in the new infections. Three of the metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata) are severely affected and the other cities are not faring that well either. They can make preparations only if the situation comes under control, and in my opinion it may take at least four more months.

They are planning to hold it by the end of this year. I assume by that time they are expecting a vaccine to be out as few pharma companies are claiming they will.

The situation has got pretty worsen lately and there is no end to it considering that they have already started easing the lockdown. Till May end India was ranked 11 in the list of countries badly affected by the pandemic but now it is 4th.

I guess they forget cryptocurrency has a currency which means money and no one should reveal or discuss the amount they hold in their banks or in their wallets.

Because, if you do you will be in trouble.

They KYC part is very critical as there are many exchanges where it is mandatory to complete KYC. It is very hard to skip it as most local exchanges will always ask for KYC

I am sure you might have heard about Binance Exchange and Kucoin Exchange. You can register on these exchanges and then make a purchase without going through KYC if the amount is less than 2BTC.

If you cannot use these exchanges then you need to scan your documents for making a purchase on Coinbase. Without KYC, Coinbase will not allow you to make a purchase.
