You have not been half a year, try to forget about cryptocurrency for another year - and you will immediately return to a good mood and profit ... Wink

That's not something I'd recommend. In times like this, you need to focus more on "BUIDLing" instead of just "HODLing". Building in this bearish trend is way easier than building in a bullish trend. Imagine you're not averaging down even a little bit after buying bitcoin at ~$20,000. In this case, you'll have to wait for bitcoin to reach all the way till ~$20,000 to only break-even. Compare this with someone who's currently building at the current low prices, it'll be a lot easier for the break-even (and profit) in this case!

India Pakistan fight here too?  Grin

Anyway, I always learn that Pakistan is an unpredictable team. Who thought that they will win 2017 ICC Champions Trophy Final? But they did? India is much more predictable. They have consistency. But when it comes to Australia then you can not just say that you gonna win.

ODI series will be interesting to see. My bet is for India though.

Indo-Pak wars history:

No.1: Indo-Pak War of 1947 (on Kashmir and Jammu)
No.2: Indo-Pak War of 1965 (on Operation Gibraltar)
No.3: Indo-Pak War of 1971 (on Bangladesh)
No.4: Indo-Pak War of 1999 (on Kargil)
No.5: Indo-Pak War of 2019 (on Bitcointalk's "Cricket match predictions discussions")

Anyway, well done Indian Team. Record is a record.
no one will remember who played.

True! You summed it up all beautifully. after 20-30 years, no one going to remember who played in this test series. except for the result.

Everyone forgot What happened in 2007-08 series and moved on.

I'm sorry to say but I don't agree with this, in 20-30 years from now I still think people will remember that one of the best batsman in the world at the time of this test series in Smith wasn't playing for Australia and that one of the best opening batsman in the world Warner was also not playing. Don't forget that this ball tampering from the three Australian guys will always be remembered due to it was the biggest thing to happen in Australian cricket so I believe everyone will remember that in this test series where India beat Australia on home soil that two of Australia's best batsman were not playing. Like I have been saying if they were playing it would of been a different story and the series would of been a lot closer then it was.

I totally agree with that. This test series between Australia and India was completely tasteless without Warner and Smith. India might succeed again in winning the upcoming ODI series against Australia, but for the Indian team, that should not be something to be *very* proud of.

Indians have a lot to cheer about in context of this series. It was not that tasteless for Indian or every cricket fan around the world for the following reasons.

1. Mayank Agarwal: Debutant faces the likes of Starc and shows in a foreign condition that he can bat no matter who is the opposition and he's here for a long run. time will tell how he transforms his test career. it depends on him.

2. Hanuma Vihari: Numbers don't support him but he has only 4 test under his cap and this guy showed grit and intent when facing English bowler in England and same here in Australia when given chance or throw under the bus (responsibility to open, according to team's requirement).

3. Rishab Pant: He is my fav youngest player in this Indian team along with Prithvi Shaw. I have been following him since under 19 world cup 2016 and let me tell you he's a very destructive player. his average is almost 50 in test despite throwing his wicket with the loose shot but he played only 9 Test match, made 2 centuries in Eng and Aus and missed 2 in India by playing loose shots. so he will learn from here and with more games, his wicketkeeping and batting will improve. no one can deny that his last inning in England and Australia was a good treat for every cricket fan.

Not including Indian Fast Bowlers.

Alright, guys, the Indian fans took it way too serious, so I'm taking my words back; the series was not tasteless. I should've said, "the series would've tasted better if Warner and Smith were playing."

The only thing I'm afraid of is the possible "over-confidence" of Virat Kohli in upcoming matches and series; it can prove to be very bad for the Indian cricket team.

Good luck Indian team (and fans) with all the upcoming matches!

Well, as far as I know, we only have two "active" Cricket related threads:

2131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ETC] Ethereum Classic: Immutable Smart Contracts on: January 09, 2019, 07:24:11 PM
Its not ETC fault that it got 51% attacked. Right now many coins are vulnerable to getting 51% attacked since the prices are low and with low prices miners have left and there is less hashrate and easier to attack.

Not only that but its also cheaper to attack because the hashrate is cheaper to buy on Nicehash.

51% attacks are generally targetted towards exchanges and the exchange needs to have some monitoring in place to make sure they aren't vulernable to the attack; basically what Coinbase did. Its highly unlikely someone would do a 51% to double spend a transaction that was conducted OTC or by peer to peer such as a local meet.

An interesting statement by Charlie Lee on this attack:

Quote
“By definition, a decentralized cryptocurrency must be susceptible to 51% attacks whether by hashrate, stake, and/or other permissionlessly-acquirable resources. If a crypto can't be 51% attacked, it is permissioned and centralized.”

BTW, if we compare the current hash of Ethash coins, it's clear that Etheruem and Ethereum Classic are dominating the first two positions by a big margin:

No.1: Ethereum = ~175 Th/s

No.2: Ethereum Classic = ~8.50 Th/s

No.3: Callisto = ~0.90 Th/s

Interestingly, the Ethereum will get the algorithm change soon, making Ethereum Classic a perfect candidate for all the current hashrate of Ethereum. If miners really switch to Ethereum Classic after Etheruem goes ASIC-resistant ProgPow, it'll become considerably expensive for anyone to 51%-attack Ethereum Classic again.

We'll find it out very soon that who's better among Sri Lanka and Australia in Test Match format. Two test-match series between Australia and Sri Lanka will begin from 24th January 2019:


Ozs don't have the golden time anymore. These days Ozs are old horse. But I think still they are able to give fight against Sri Lanka specially when the are the home team.

I'm very sure that Virat Kohli will never want Australia to win this one; if Sri Lanka somehow manages to beat Australia, it'll really make all this India's celebration look stupid. Grin

There is no fee by default in the last version for 2 GB and 3 GB cards; Claymore mentioned it earlier:

Virat Kohli thinks this victory is bigger than the 2011 World Cup's win:

India vs Australia: Series win tops 2011 World Cup success, says Virat Kohli

https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/india-vs-australia-series-win-tops-2011-world-cup-success-says-virat-kohli-5526394/

I've never seen Virat getting this much excited; one thing we should not forget, Australian side has never been this weak in the past.
Agreed , its more like Sri Lankan team if you ask me . The bowling wasn't that strong , they struggled a lot . I congratulate Indian team for winning but its certainly not bigger than any other series they have won.

Its very rude thing to say lol. we shoudn't downgrade Srilankan team like this.
 

Agreed but the way Sri Lankan team played cricket against India in Sri Lanka or in India then he's not lying or maybe @absy is Indian too and he saw how helpless was Sri Lanka against India Grin

But after that, they played good cricket.

SriLanka in 2017 -2018 Test cricket


  • Won against Pakistan in their backyard ( UAE)2-0
  • They beat the SA in a home 2-0
  • Won test series against Bangladesh in Bangladesh 1-0
  • Draw against Windies in away tour 1-1


After this, they lost miserably against England in the home series. But again, looked very determined in New Zealand though they lost Test series against NZ. One can't deny that they didn't show grit in a first test match.

We'll find it out very soon that who's better among Sri Lanka and Australia in Test Match format. Two test-match series between Australia and Sri Lanka will begin from 24th January 2019:

I decided to move my ADA coins into personal wallet off the exchange. I choosed Deadalus as well and it is third day and still chain is being downloaded and hardly I reached at 52% now. At the same time I see people reporting issue with syncing or restoration. This made me little concerned to look at other alternative ways if anyone is using or has tested any other wallet ?

Of course, there are alternative ways! You should only use Daedalus if you want a full node; if you don't want a full node, use a light-client wallet such as Yoroi.

If any one thinking this match as draw he is surely without cricket mind because South Africa can win this match by an inning very easily Pakistani battling line up is not good enough to handle pressure and most of batsmen unpredictable so this match is going to end in four days with South African win.
You seem to be very confident that South Africa will win this match. Well, isn't it the 2nd day? There is a very possibility of South Africa winning but the match can be drawn too. By the way, Africa is leading by 147 runs with 5 wickets remaining.
I was not confident about South African win I was confident about unpredictable Pakistani battling line up so they done good job for South African win and lost match and series Pakistani battling line up is very poor right now they need some big changes which are not possible right now and they will more down this year.
Finally, there wasn't any coincidence that help to pass out unpredictable Pakistan! If you don't get manage a good score on board, you're under the pressure, especially when you play in South African ground.

South Africa has never lost a Test series against Pakistan in their homeground, so it's not like that this was unpredictable. In the second inning though, Pakistani team looked a little bit comfortable on the wicket; this shows that they're finally getting a bit familiar with the pitch conditions of South African grounds.

IMO, Pakistan might have lost this Test series, but they're starting to look strong for upcoming ODI series.
