I think its been unfair to kholi and their team to criticize them so much after the 1st Test loss. No matter how strong a team is that they will lose few matches in between and this was those test which India lost.
I would not care much if this was the only lose. But see back and you will see they have lost all the matches in the ODI series too and this last Test was just the continuation of the downfall.

Quote
They have such a good record of wining test recently and a single loss shouldn't be trolled that much.
When expectation does not meet the reality then we see these kind of situations. Expectation from Kohli and team is really high so anything goes a little wrong backfires then hard.

I hope this losing streak does not strech to the Worldcup. The way Indian team is playing shows how demotivated and hopeless they have become. Niether the captain nor the team shows any urge to fight back or win.

I hope for the next test match they gear up and perform to their full potential.

Ashton agar nailed it 5 wickets for 24. He is the main reason why SA could not even pass the 100 run score. Disappointing to see the whole middle order getting wiped out. It was just one sided match.

LOL.. A mediocre spinner such as Ashton Agar could destroy South Africa. That says a lot about the quality of their batting lineup. And their playing XI had star players such as Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis and David Miller.

BTW... the second match has started and this time South Africa is batting first. I don't have any faith in any South African batsmen other than de Kock. If they can build a total of 160+, then there is a chance for them.

At the same time, the South African Women's team is playing against the Australian women, at the Women's T20 World Cup.

What is there to LOL about?

How were you able to determine he is a medicore baller? Have you watched him play in any earlier international matches cause if he has not been seen by the SA team earlier then he cannot be classified as an average spinner. They might have not studied him.

Further an average spinner cannot take 5 wickets in a fluke while playing as a debutant. What this guy does today will be interesting to watch.

ICONbet is a DAO(decentralized autonomous organization) Casino DAPP in the ICON/ICX platform, in fact it is the first and only DAO Casino in the ICX platform! At the moment there's currently two games on the site, DAO-Roulette and DAO-Dice. With a Third game (DAO-Blackjack) slated to come this month or early March, DAO-Blackjack is currently created as of now it just needs the approval of the icon team at the moment. The way it works is that players bet ICX (stored from their iconex wallet). In order to bet one you to go to Iconbet.io and once there, sign in with their ICONex wallet to chrome, then put your bet in. In exchange they get TAP Tokens (these are the tokens created for the Iconbet gambling platform)  Think of them as Poker chips or Wink tokens except you don't need to freeze these tokens to get your dividends, Everyone that owns tap is also a Casino Owner! Smiley.






An amount of 1million TAP is mined everyday (out of a total 293 Million TAP yet to be released/mined), We are currently at 207 days active. With The top wagers eventually getting the most tap that day, and therefore will make the most ICX dividends from that day's mined TAP. The players make ICX dividends based on their TAP percentage ownership in comparison to the daily excess, the breakdown of the Amount of TAP  you receive based on the excess go like: 70% to the players/20% to the founders/ the last 10% is divided amongst the players in the wager war (top 10 ICX wagerers).

My ICX Rewards ​= (0.8 - Wager War) x Treasury Excess x My TAP / mined TAP

TAP Token Mining Payout =  (Individual Player’s Betting Volume / Total Betting Volume)
x 1,000,000

Wager War = 10% of Current Treasury Excess will be sent to top 10 players divided like below:

1st: 25%
2nd: 20%
3rd: 15%
4th: 10%
5th: 10%
6th: 6%
7th: 6%
8th: 3%
9th: 3%
10th 2%


Since January 2020, The average daily dividends for owning one million TAP from ICONbet is 75.33 ICX. One would have to stake an equivalent of 149.269 ICX to get the same results. We have an active and very helpful community on Telegram (t.me/iconbet_official). Since the platform's inception we have been number one in transaction in the ICX blockchain, We are also a P-Rep and i believe we have one of the best active/useful DAPPs in the ICON blockchain.


Iconbet is currently a P-rep (The P-rep name for voting is ICONbet community), and we're already number 34 in the P-Rep rankings with 1,047,309 votes after less than a month as a P-Rep and still climbing! These last two months have been a big leap in our growth, we have a few partnerships and made several strides.

I think you have to shift this post to the Gambling section. You will find more users there. Also if possible buy the copper membership, it will help you to add images to this ANN.

Your website has a good interface, very easy to understand. It would nice if you can also accept others cryptocurrency in the future.

It is a relatively new exchange and you cannot come into any conclusion about its performance at this stage. Regardless of its partnership or feature the main criteria to ascertain an exchange performance is volume and security.

I have heard about this exchange in this forum but never tried it. I might try it in the future but at the moment I am happy with the trusted names.

What exactly is the purpose of those flags at the right? It's a distraction in my opinion. I don't understand why it's necessary to put national flags at a corner of decentralized applications list. Guess the intention is to encourage competition and get more people from other countries to join, whether it is safe for them or not.
I think if an evil entity sees lots of flags they don't like, they will probably begin to attack the application or give you lots of problems till it's destroyed.
There is nothing wrong with having those data, but it should only be used when necessary

There is nothing wrong with Flags there, as it shows the traffic coming from a country. I think it is a very useful info for those who want to know the incoming traffic location. I don't think it is to encourage competition. It will help advertiser's more who wish to buy advertisement credits on these dApps.

Looks like tron is picking up on dApps. Most of them are related to gambling.

I prefer the Binance one more than any others shown in this post. It is far clearer and bachee of the black background it is notmhurting the eyes too.

All these clocks are not accurate as they are showing a predicted date. Halving can happens earlier than the dates displayed here.
5948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 23, 2020, 11:32:56 AM

Once they complete the deficit which is 38 now, they will have to give target to the NZ which won't be much considering India has already lost the four top wickets. Only a miracle can safe India from this defeat. This will be a big set back for them because NZ just white washed them in ODI Series.
There are only two tests in the series, so if they win the first one, they cannot lose the test series.

No miracle can save India now. Leaving it to the bowlers and Rahane and Pant, I don't feel they will manage even 150 runs from now on which makes NZ to chase down 110+ runs. Bowlers too haven't done their task of restricting NZ to 250-300 runs instead they let them get another 50 runs which took India to just chase down the extra runs. NZ's bowlers managed to get 40 runs while I can't expect the same from Indian bowlers. Hope they manage atleast to put some runs on board for NZ to chase else a score like last time would mean a miserable defeat. Feeling the match would end tomorrow  Undecided

The way India has been playing after the T20 series I am pretty much convinced they will lose the test series too. This is just the beginning more to come in few more months. Even Virat Kohli's performance has gone down. The team can niether Bat nor Bowl now.

So I need to spend $1000 or more for this phone to store these three cryptocurrency. Who will want to do that, when there are so many free wallets available in the market to store more than three cryptocurrency.

A hardware wallet will be costing me less than this phone.

Let's suppose that you bought all the stocks in the world and you decide not to sell them. How can you benefit from them? Well you can liquidate them and get an enormous wealth in the form of land, buildings, vehicles, machines, equipment and other property of the companies that issued these stocks.

Let's suppose that you bought all the fiat currencies in the world and you decide not to sell them. How can you benefit from them? Well you can wait a couple of months and then visit the banks that issued them to claim an enormous wealth in the form of land, buildings, vehicles, machines, equipment and other property that the banks seized from the borrowers. Namely, given that you bought all the fiat currencies, borrowers are unable to get the money for their loan repayments, and unpaid loans, lead to seizure of property that was pledged as a collateral. Given that the money issued by the banks is the liability of the banks, you as its holder have the claim on the bank's property. Now, why you have such a claim in the first place? It's because the banks created money out of thin air, which means that on its own, money is worthless. It is just numbers in the bank accounts or on the banknotes. So when the borrowers used these numbers to get goods or services from the market participants it is these participants who actually invested valuable property or work into newly created money. Given that borrowers defaulted of their loans, they didn't return these property or work back to the market participants through trades that would get them money for loan repayments. That's why the market participants have claims on the property that the banks sized from the borrowers. Since you bought all the money from these participants you became the owner of these claims.

Finally, let's suppose that you bought all the bitcoins in the world and you decide not to sell them. How can you benefit from them? To put it another way. After said purchase, all you have is a number in a computer memory - 18.232.575 (bitcoins currently in circulation). Let's suppose that I open my Excel spreadsheet and put the same number into it -> 18.232.575. Now we both have equal records in a computer memory. Question: what can you do with your record that I cannot do with mine? Can you liquidate it like stock are liquidated and get the equity of some company? No. Me neither. Can you transfer it to another memory location. Yes. Me either. Can you take it to some institution or middleman such as bank and claim their property? No. Me neither. Can you observe is? Yes. Me either. Can you eat it? No. Me neither. Can you enjoy its numerical form? Yes. Me either. Can you drive it? No. Me neither. Can you take picture of it? Yes. Me either. So simply put, there is nothing what you can do with your record that I cannot do with mine.

Meaning, all the bitcoins in the world are woth the same as a number that one puts into his/her Excel spreadsheet. And you can benefit from it only if you fool someone to trade their valuable property, work or fiat currencies for this number. To put it differently. The same as in all ponzi-like schemes, no actual value exists behind bitcoin, and the only way one can get actual value, is from funds brought by new investors. And that's Bitcoin in a nutshell - good old Ponzi scheme dressed up in a new, digital, uniform.


What a shit post!!
.
You argument is baseless as it based on an excel sheet. I invested in Bitcoin in 2018 febuary and joined this forum after that. Now use your excel sheet and calculate the profit I have earned after HODLing Bitcoin for two years now.

From where did you come out with this dumb argument. First practically implement it and then calculate.
5951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe Coingecko's Exchange Liquidity rank? on: February 23, 2020, 09:23:05 AM
We know Coinmarketcap lists fake exchanges on the top, they accept fake bot volume in such case which is not honest move! So, we have been appreciating Coingecko for bringing the real volume exchange on the top rank. But do you believe their liquidity exchange rank is real? I don't think they are 100% accurate. They listed BW, ZB, ZBG, Bitbank, Probit almost in the top rank but all these exchanges are faked volume,!

In my opinion you cannot believe both of them, in particular if we check exchange volume data. I never check that portion on any of these websites as I believe in recommendation and trust. I also donot store my assets on any exchange. If I want to check the price of a particular crypto I prefer checking two or three exchanges.
5952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ⚡Bitcoin and Ethereum's Energy Consumption⚡ on: February 23, 2020, 08:08:58 AM
Bitcoins and Etherum's energy consumption is inevitable but what they can do is
Turn to renewable sources of energy so that they go hand in hand with the environment too

Also at the same time when all of the 21 million bitcoins will be mines there will be a time when mining won't even exist .
If people somehow find a way to channel this energy consumption into something else and something profitable it will in turn also allow the governments to give it a second thought , because in many countries mining is banned.

Turning to renewable energy is a good viable option. Renewable energy doe not harm the enviornment and setting it up is also cheap. In my country there is a lot of emphasis to solar energy. The government is also providing subsidy to setup solar panels. But, I have not seen any big mining farms coming up in my country.

I think it also depends on the Government. In my country mining is not banned but there is no support from the government as they themselves are not clear what they want to do with cryptocurrency.
5953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 23, 2020, 07:59:09 AM
In only test between Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, batting first Zimbabwe was all out for 265 in spite of very good start from Masvaure who scored 64 runs and Captain Ervine who scored century and was out at 107. Other than this not any major contributions from the other batsman. Jayed and Hasan both picked 4 wickets each. In reply Bangladesh are 25/1 and trail by another 240 runs.



240 runs can be easily achieved if Bangladesh does not lose anymore wickets. They have much experienced batsmen than Zimbabwe. They only need to create a big partnership, which I am sure they are capable of.
5954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRON (TRX) Coin Future Price ? on: February 23, 2020, 07:28:41 AM
I see Tron is very strong project Tron Coin CEO Very Active and very hard work. i believe tron coin long term investment coin. TRON coin All-time High Price reached $0.24. now price $0.020638 USD i hope now great time Buy tron coin and hold some years waiting Bright Future

Tron Coin Market Chart



 

In my opinion Tron is not a good investment option available in the market, both for long and short. It has got a huge supply, which will always prevent the Fiat value to rise by a considerable amount. The last time it reached its all time high was when Bitcoin reached 17k. The only things that is interesting about tron are the dApps.

There are far better investment opportunities available in the market than Tron.

Halving will only affect Bitcoin price and not all cryptocurrency. Historically before halving there is always a Bull run. Therefore keep accumulating Bitcoin and keep HODLing untill April.

Since last few months almost majority of trader/Investor are seems like hopeless or bored from this dead marked, Expect whales or manipulator. Here are many are at safe side by making some decent moves during a little recovery season, But still a majority of peoples are in extreme loss or average loss. Here is many aspect behind the all scenario. A few are following:

        a) We always expect a big hit and don't trade according plan.
        b) Many strong projects are effected due to shitcoins performance.
        C) Altcoin will still remain dead due to Bitcoin's FOMO
        D) Worst reasoning why Alt market will not be bounce back at the position where it was before all this mess is
        Most project dump their whole supply in market on its investors.

I am still unable to comprehend which altcoins are you referring in this post of yours?

As per my understanding and information published on CMC, almost all good altcoins are performing well. The top 50 have already shown a good price surge and are expected to perform much better this year.

Be more specific when you are creating a topic in the future for us to help you.

Both teams done good job and West Indies was able to win at the end but they can blame their bowlers as too many no-balls and wides hurt them badly at the end Hero of match was Hasaranga who keep his mind cool lead the team for first ODI victory its really interesting match look like we have something to watch in this series.
Sri Lanka won a really close match and not West Indies. I am surprised to see Sri Lanka staying till the end even after loosing their wickets and winning the match with the help of Wanindu Hasaranga as he scored 9 runs in the 49th over which was crucial as they were not having wickets in hand. With an entertaining first match the series will be tightly contested rather than one sided affair.

Just now watched the highlights of the match. This was a match of nerves, very close match and very interesting. Next match will be more interesting and I am sure WI will come back. They played very well but lost. 9 run score by Wanindu changed the games outcome.

Actually we should use their services, the purposes is to understand their work so we can give objective opinion. Maybe we need to use our money but I'm sure they want we to do that, how we can give them opinion without know their services. Not always bad thing about gambling but take control our emotion and stay focus with opinion is the purposes.

Technically it is no where mentioned that you need to spend the amount on the website that you are promoting. There are some websites who pay that amount directly to your account wallet, it seems fair to spend that amount there. But, in most cases the money is transferred to your personal wallet.

In such situation you can spend that amount as per your requirement.

NZ finished their innings with 180+ lead and now the pitch act lot different than the day 1.Sharma got five wicket haul in his comeback match from injury and Ashwin got 3 wickets which let their opposition to got out in third day itself.

Again Prithvi Shaw got out too early,now Puajara and Mayank agarwal is trying to build a partnership for their team.Let's see how the day progress,still a session is left to be played on Day3.

NZ 183 lead in first innings is a big lead beacuse it will put a lot of pressure now on Indian batsman and they have already lost 2 wickets for 92 runs . Still India trail by 91 runs and after this India will set a target for NZ to chase in 4th innings . Only if India can sustain this last session of the third day without any more wickets India would feel they have a chance to atleast draw the match .

Good batting by Mayank Agarwal, pathetic performance by Prithvi Shaw. India trails by 70 runs. 4 wickets down, I do not think it is possible for the Indian team to Win this match. Virat Kohli again got caught by playing a foolish shot.
