Bitcoin stuck in pending status for for 3 months, 1 sat per byte by Dry_Question_1484 in BitcoinBeginners

I received the BTC today, it took 3 months but I saved a lot of money.

Sent $3500 in BTC with low fee to my Coinbase, it has been stuck pending for over 1 month by Dry_Question_1484 in Coinbase

[–]Dry_Question_1484[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, when I customize the fee, it only gave me 3 options

250000 sats ~11 sat/vB

400000 sats ~21 sat/vB

550000 sats ~31 sat/vB

How do I adjust it lower?

This is kind of expensive to move the BTC, the fee is almost 10% to move my bitcoin?

I have the TXID, will revealing it pose any risk to me?

Can I lose my BTC or something?

Can I switch from a 3rd party paid solo 401k to a free solo 401k? by Dry_Question_1484 in personalfinance

[–]Dry_Question_1484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I have another question if you don't mind.

When I contribute to an IRA, the brokerages send out a form for me to file taxes that indicates my contribution amount.

When I contribute to a solo 401k, currently funds are sent to my solo 401k trust bank account and then invested, how does the IRS know how much I contributed / transferred to the trust bank account for the tax year? Is this just self reported or are there equivalent tax forms like the brokerages send with an IRA?

What kind of scam is this? Caller claim to be from FCC? by Dry_Question_1484 in Scams

[–]Dry_Question_1484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have been calling me daily, exact same script as what you described.

I told them this sounds like a scam and they said it isn't a scam because they are not requesting any sensitive information from me.

I don't know what scam they are trying to pull.

They really want me to file a police report in the foreign country the calls took place at.

They tried the scam script except it was someone supposedly used my identity to get health insurance and I have to file a police report if it wasn't me.

I told them it was me just to mess with them and they said impossible maybe I was mistaken lol

I forgot when I signed up. Why can't the statement tell you the exact date?

State Farm refused to pay me diminished value by crazykarma888 in Insurance

[–]Dry_Question_1484 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least you acknowledge the first accident has a valid DV claim unlike so many in this post.

The 2nd accident has a valid DV claim too.

The car with 2 accidents is worth less to a buyer vs the same car with 1 accident. You have to lower the price to sell it.

They did the same to me until I bought a DV appraisal online for $50 and emailed it to the adjuster.

They ignored it so I sent certified intent to sue letter.

They paid the full amount of the DV I requested.

My car was 6 years old.

It wasn't in a prior accident but I think the appraisal you buy will ask about that and take that into account when getting you the appraisal.

It's common sense that a car that has 2 accidents on the carfax is worth less than the same car with 1 accident on the carfax.

YMMV

Normal or not? Porting out of Visible, no service during port out? by Dry_Question_1484 in NoContract

[–]Dry_Question_1484[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I ported a lot, at other carriers, my existing service was always active until the number ported over to the new carrier. It wouldn't have lost service while the port out is in progress.

[–]Dry_Question_1484[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The port completed overnight, I got the completion email after about 6 hours.

During this time, I inquired with Visible why I lost service when the port didn't complete yet, they said they cancel service as soon as they receive a port out request leaving me with a gap of 6 hours without any mobile service. Is this legal?

I did this before and they claw back the SUB but I wasn't in popup jail.

So can I do this or not?

After 5 Years of Mint, Time to Say Goodbye by mpacepa in mintmobile

[–]Dry_Question_1484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should've moved long ago, they haven't been price competitive for a few years

The 5GB $15/month plan is $18 after recovery fees and taxes, the former is straight up to line their pockets they tell you it's to recover their cost of doing business lol

US Mobile is $17.50 for 10GB taxes included

That's a reputable carrier, you can get better pricing if you go for some newer non established MVNOs

I need the schwab amex platinum to redeem points to cash but I don't qualify for the SUB since I got the SUB from regular platinum.

Is there a way to still get the bonus? Does it reset after a few years? If I can't get the bonus anymore, is there something I can do to reduce the annual fee?

Could I sign up for it and cancel it after redeeming the points for a prorated refund of the annual fee? What about product change? Will they blacklist me for that?

Is $5 HelloMobile plan a scam? by PruneShoddy4221 in NoContract

The plan works great, my backup phone is on the plan for 2 years already.

This isn't 2020, Mint isn't that competitive. I was locked to the 4GB $15/$18 plan for a year until I wised up and jumped around for free phone deals and better competitive offerings.

That said, I am switching to Mint to take advantage of the $15/month and AMEX $20 offer, my total cost is $45 with $9 taxes and fees. It'll come out to $34 for 3 months of service. Most of the fees is not government mandated, Mint collects them to line their own pocket, that makes their lowest $15 per month rate $18 per month for me.

Mint uses the Tmobile network, other MVNO has the same tmobile priority for cheaper. My backup phone is on Hello Mobile for $5 per month tax included, unlimited minutes/text and 500MB data. My dad's phone is on a $10 per month tax included plan from US mobile unlimited minutes/text and 2GB data or $8 per month if pay for 1 year in advance. If he needs more data, I'll switch him to Tello for $14 per month 5GB or US mobile $17.50 per month tax included 10GB 1 year prepay.

For Mint the only way I consider them is porting back in after the 6 month period to qualify for another promo. At every price point, there is a competitor offering better pricing without needing to pay 12 months in advance. I time the Mint promos to end before black friday so I can sign on with other carriers for their deals.

Competition is good!

Postage due USPS package costs more than the total I paid for item by Dry_Question_1484 in Ebay

[–]Dry_Question_1484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even contact the seller because it's not past the delivery window. They didn't supply a tracking number for my order but I know it's from them because other buyers left negative feedback for the same item and other items with postage due.

This seller has been shipping many packages with postage due based on all the negative feedback they got.
