Why do we need a hardware 2fa authenticator for all the users who want to use the forum ? Many will simply leave the forum because they don't want to buy the hardware wallet. Consider that you are a company who want to post your ANN here or a person advertising their service and you need to buy a hardware authenticator in the first place ?
It will be optional, not necessary, also if the 2fa is software ones like google and andOTP, it will also be optional. So, if you do not want to use it, you will not enable it because it will most likely be disabled by dafault.

I suppose its just a suggestion to use 2fa and whether it will be YubiKey or google authenticator it will depend what theymos decides. Also it will be up to him to make it compulsory or not. When many of the sites uses the 2fa authenticator and it is still not implemented by theymos on this forum, there must be a reason for that.

I just saw this tournaments of legends (Road Safety World Series) being played in India.  India, England, Sri Lanka, West Indies , South Africa and Bangladesh teams are part of this tournament but i wonder why Pakistan and Australia do not take part in this series ?

Don't know about Pakistan, but Australia Legends were initially planning to take part in the tournament and Brett Lee was named as the captain. But they withdrew from the tournament due to COVID 19 restrictions (the government refused to permit the team travelling to India). They should add Pakistan and Zimbabwe to the tournament, along with New Zealand.

Also, it would be a good idea to add a combined associate side, with players such as Steve Tikolo, Maurice Odumbe, Thomas Odoyo, Klaas-Jan van Noortwijk, Bastiaan Zuiderent, John Blain, Gavin Hamilton, Sultan Zarawani, John Davison, David Hemp, JB Burger, Rudi van Vuuren, Ed Joyce, Trent Johnston, Freddie Klokker.etc.

The tension between india and pakistan could be the reason of pakistan not playing this series as this is being played in india. However, the point is whether pakistan refused to play this tournament or they were not invited at all ? I wished both Australians and pakistan were part of this tournament as then it could be a mini world cup for the legends.

I have gone a small research and grab some points and conclusions.

Now the market is extremely volatile and extra hype. So what ever the hypes now are temporary , bear market sure will come in next days.

If you have fresh investments , do not invest now. wait for 2-4 weeks lets see.  November to now almost 4 months came bull market without major bear signals. now pop out some signals. So now bulls are temporary. Please keep your hard earned money for weeks.

give opinion others.

As long as bitcoin does not close the day above 52,000$, we are in the bearish zone. The price dips many times to 47-48K but recovers because there is a lot of support too at these level. There is a big resistance as well as big support. We need to watch out which one break first ?

I have looked around for a roadmap for this coin but haven't seen one, can anyone point me to it?

You don't need a roadmap for this project when Elon Musk is interested in it. No roadmap can increase popularity of this project as tweets from Elon Musk alone can be too much helpful for this project growth and success. Although i didn't have much interest in the project but ever since elon musk start tweeting about it, i have bought some in the hope they will rise too much one day.

PSL is postponed indefinitely as more players tested positive and it is really unfortunate for everyone especially the players and the PCB as they should have taken things seriously while conducting a tournament like this and now they will incur more losses.

I was suspecting this ever since Fawad Ahmed tested positive. Feels bad for the Pakistani cricket fans and the PCB. This time the PCB worked really hard to establish the biosecure bubbles and to arrange logistics. But all that effort was undone due to the arrogant nature of a few players. Despite strict instructions, a number of star players went outside the bubble and some of them tested positive later. And from them, more individuals inside the bubble got infected. Don't want to start a blame game, but irresponsible behavior from a few players resulted in tens of millions of USD in losses to the PCB.

From what I have heard, a total of 7 individuals have tested positive for COVID 19 (including 6 players). I understand that some of the overseas players have also tested positive for COVID 19. And a curious case will be that of Sandeep Lamichhane. He arrived in Pakistan yesterday, to take part in the PSL. Now the tournament is cancelled before he could even play a single game.
Oh tere ki, when this happened?

Last i heard tournament was going okay. Big loss for every stakeholders including fans, would be very happy if PCB and Franchise ban those players from the next PSL. I hope BCCI would also learn something from this drama and keep things tight next month.

The best BCCI should do is not to allow the spectators in the stadium. The other protocols must be followed too but they should do whatever they can so that the matches could be played and yet people can still enjoy them on their tv screens.

Sad for the PSL as this happened 2nd time with them. I remember, last time also the PSL Semi-final and finals were postponed because of covid-19.

JACS VPN is now live for both Android & iOS

Over iOS, Premium VPN service can be activated with In-App purchase

Over Android, Premium VPN service can be activated with In-App purchase, FIAT (credit and debit cards) or Crypto (BTC or ETH)

Over the website, JACS addresses can be purchased using FIAT (credit and debit cards), Crypto (BTC, ETH or JACS tokens)

That's a very good news as now we have a working product. I have been following this project for quite some time and you told that once the product is released you will proceed on listing on few exchanges ?
What's the progress on it and what are the platforms where JCAS can be traded ?
as well as we have to be more patient with the matter of exchanges where jacs will be traded, we all know that they are very focused on continuously developing jacs products, information about exchange questions are very often asked but we do not get satisfied about their answers about exchanges

As far as i know they told sometime earlier that they will be listed on exchanges as soon as their product is launched. I do hope we get listing news from the admins anytime soon and it is not delayed.  Undecided

1228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BUSD Vs. USDT on: February 28, 2021, 11:34:14 AM
Is BUSD no much different from USDT?

Which do you prefer?
Yes it is, i personally prefer USDT over BUSD caused by the fees are even cheaper than BUSD when you are using TRON USDT. It has also accepted in all exchange sites
I have some options to send USDT too. The liquidity should also become the main consideration for me to choose USDT over BUSD even BUSD created by binance as the biggest exchange site and im not feeling convenience with BUSD.
Im still choosing USDT over BUSD.

If you are having  lot of dollars you can keep half in USDT and half in BUSD. Also USDC is a good option.

Its always a good option to diversify our USD portfolio also so in case any legal action is taken against USDT again, we would be on the safe side.
1229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRC 20 is secure as ERC 20 ? on: February 28, 2021, 11:18:12 AM
As long as i know, there is no network more secured then ERC20 now, but it is too expensive. Why erc20 moee secure ? Because it has been hacked so mny times and TRC20 never getting hacked so no improvement in security. Erc20 also has many nodes keeping the security of it, TRC20 more less.

You mean that erc20 is hacked many times and trc20 has never been hacked  or you wanted to say another way around ? I think both of them are secure therefore you see lots of USDT being transferred through TRC20.
1230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can / cannot replace the banks ? on: February 28, 2021, 09:19:46 AM
They are obviously right. How on earth do you expect BTC to completely replace banks? .

Why not ? Consider two scenarios which will lead to the end of banking system.

1- If everyone start using crypto and no one used fiat, then there will be no need of banks. (this is an ideal scenario which is less likely to happen anytime soon)

2- If people start keeping wealth in bitcoin and less money in banks. Banks uses the people money in investments and this keep the circle of the bank running. If banks are short of fiat, this will bring their operation to halt. (a more likely scenario to happen soon)

For this to happen, the whole financial system needs to be changed and i don't see it happening within next decade. Also you cannot change the current system with bitcoin which is too much volatile. Bitcoin need to be adopted more and need to be more stable to be more widely used. I see some people on the youtube shared their point of view that fiat will end which is not true. Fiat may loose value but it cannot be completely eliminated.

So today is the last date to withdrawal the funds from the site and we will not be able to access the yolodice from tomorrow 1st March. They have provided so good service for the last 4 years. I wish them best of luck for their future endeavors.
According to the roadmap, at least users are still given until the 15th to withdraw their balance. Active users of course know this info but ethan and the team seem to be giving extra time to users who may not be very active but still have a balance there. Anyway, I really like how they give their loyal users time, because if they close the site suddenly and are not given enough time then of course it will hurt because I experienced that before.

They have the email of every user who registered on their site. Wouldn't it better if they would email everyone and notify the last day to withdraw. I know some people keep funds on gambling site and are not active on the site. However, everyone checks their email daily. This way 99% of the users will be able to withdraw the funds before the deadline.
1232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where would you sell if you had bought 10 Bitcoin at $100? on: February 28, 2021, 06:48:12 AM
Would everyone who bought at $100, would have had the insight to hold? Probably not. And if not, where would you have sold?

They would have sold at 1000$ or 20000$ Maximum. I don't think anyone would have the patient to hold it when they see too much profit. Another reason for selling is that bitcoin price does not always rise. It got to 1000# and dumped to 220$. Then again moved to 20000$ and dumped to 3800$. So there is no point holding when you can sell and buy back more later.
1233  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔶 YOLOdice.com 🔶 suspending on 1st March 2021 :-( on: February 28, 2021, 06:39:37 AM
The truth is yolodice team have tried after running the site for four year they are still able to come out to inform users and giving time for fund to be withdraw thanks team I will continue to use bustadice to play from now going forward.
The site was very successful in that 4 years, they are closing due to the personal issues because it is getting more stressed to keep involved in the development all the time. They gave enough time and also changed the withdrawal system for better convenience than before.

So today is the last date to withdrawal the funds from the site and we will not be able to access the yolodice from tomorrow 1st March. They have provided so good service for the last 4 years. I wish them best of luck for their future endeavors.
1234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs on: February 28, 2021, 05:13:57 AM
Seems to Symbol (XYM) fork/airdrop/launch (?) was already included in XEM price.. and now it starts going toward south again :/
I would also ask: when catapult launch? ;-)

Likely your eyes are not seeing very far Wink

XEM price is now at least in the same level than it was before the announcement of snapshot day.
And it is higher than month ago. Clearly going up ...



XEM price should go parabolically up after this snapshot news. There are still 12 days in the snapshot and we can expect good return from this investment but unfortunately bitcoin is not stable is at this moment. If bitcoin keeps on dumping, it can spoil the NEM party. For altcoins to move, bitcoin needs to be stable or range bound.
1235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you in panic whenever there is a big drop in price? on: February 28, 2021, 03:32:35 AM
In my case, I have this mindset that if you will not sell your hodling, you will not gonna lost any amount in you fund even if you see that the market price has a big drop. I always keep my mind composed and calm because I know that crypto market is very volatile and unstable so you need not to let you emotions win and just keep it hodl until you reach your desire target value.

When i started trading few years back, i used to be in panic when i saw bitcoin and altcoin fall below my purchase price. I could not sleep for nights and remained in tensions. However as i got experienced i understood that getting panic on every dip will make you lose your money by selling in loss. Now i do not panic because i know that the dump will be followed by the pump.

Please reply here if you have filled it out so others can see this topic!  Wink

Although you have designed a good form but i have not fill the form yet. More importantly, what will be the outcome of this data ? Will you compile this data and share with the gambling sites ?
I don't see any benefit in filling the form as our problems of high fee will remain as it is, unless you have any plan to do with this data.
1237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you get mad when the price of your cryptos go higher after you have sold on: February 28, 2021, 02:30:06 AM
for me nothing to get mad, if you already got profit its good, if you will think about it, it will only change your mood and make wrong decission from then on, we can't predict the price so there is nothing to get mad about, jump to another project that is promising, and take profit , thats the crypto strategy that is best to do.

If the price of the crypto goes up, we get happy. However it is observed that more often we buy the altcoin and its price goes down. That is the actual situation where most of people get mad and frustrated.
Being in profit is always good but how you control the emotion while in a loss is a real test for a trader and investor.
1238  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Someone asked me he got $500 to invest in btc, is it the right time to enter? on: February 27, 2021, 04:36:07 PM
Right now if someone is absolutely new and have never ever invested in BTC, in my opinion he should wait for a couple of months before putting in some money. A friend asked me if he should invest his $500, he is a no tech guy, and just consuming the news, like it was at the beginning of 2018 where a lot of people have bought the highs.
What could possibly be the best time range or price range in 2021 for a person who is willing to invest in btc during 2021, just for a general idea.

Bitcoin has not reached all time high for this cycle so if you buy at this moment, you should be sure that you would not be buying at the top. Secondly, if you wait few months, who knows the bitcoin price may be above 50K or more at that time. As we are in bull market, i don't accept bitcoin to remain bearish for long time.
1239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will replace the Silver Marketcap on: February 27, 2021, 01:50:14 PM
Gold is the no.1 target, and not silver. The case with silver is a bit complicated, because silver is widely used for various purposes in industry, and not just for investment. Silver is used in solar panels, conductors, water filtering.etc. So it is quite difficult to get the amount of silver, that is being held as bullion. Gold also has industrial usage, but that represents less than 0.1% of its annual mine production.

The correlation between Gold and silver is exactly similar as between bitcoin and ethereum. Bitcoin is a store of value which is mostly for investment while we have a lot of smart contracts and use cases on ethereum.
I hope one day Ethereum will also be in the top 10-20 marketcap assets.
1240  Economy / Speculation / Re: Correction is coming on: February 27, 2021, 12:25:26 PM
Sell your coins while you can, price is almost certain to correct downwards by at least 50% over next few months.

If we sell our bitcoins, do you know who will buy them ? The whales and institutions are ready to buy all our bitcoins. And later we will have to buy back them more expensive. The best thing to do in the correction period is to stop looking at the portfolio and wait for the correction to be over. Remember never sell and short in a bull market.
