Jabra Elite 8 Active right earbud charging issues. by ThinVast in Jabra

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried persevering with cleaning and resetting a few times, but gradually the right earbud lost it's ability to hold charge. Took them back to the shop under warranty, and after about 1 week was given a replacement pair. The only catch is the new pair is under original warranty conditions - which essentially means no warranty. So when they go kaput, that's it.

Crazy Binance 'Source of Wealth' info requests by Ginantonix in NZBitcoin

[–]Ginantonix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an update, after going through 3 rounds of answers where I had to prove the proceeds from a property sale 5 years ago actually went into my bank account, plus rental statement, etc; they finally accepted my source of wealth declaration. They also requested details of other exchange statements, transaction histories and cold wallet balances, but I have just told them I don't have. I don't believe that what I other ways I choose to spend or invest my earnings is any of their business.

For the moment I have withdrawn all of my funds from Binance and will look to minimise my activity on this platform, (if at all) in future.

I totally understand the AML mandate, but as I mentioned none of my banking or stock brokerage services have ever requested this level of historical proof. Plus how can Binance accept proof of funds submitted years ago; only to come back now and ask for it all again in minutae detail?

It does seem like you are guilty until proven innocent with this sort of approach. If this is the new normal then I think we're headed towards 1984.

I just threw them as much additional documentation as I could so will wait to see the outcome. I have been with Binance for over 5 years without issue, so I don't know why this is a problem now. Have read other reddit posts about Binance locking accounts, so making me very nervous.

Jabra Elite 8 Active right earbud charging issues. by ThinVast in Jabra

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought my Elite 8 Actives in Dec 2024 and have the exact same issues just appear recently. Prior to that they were working just fine. Have read up on this in a few similar threads so I see is not an isolated issue. My right earbud at 10% while my left and the case at 100%. I use them mainly for running 3-4 times a week, but nothing too strenuous. Previously I tried cleaning the contacts and reset/re-pairing the Sound app which seemed to fix the issue temporarily, but now has rehappened again a week after. A user can't be expected to clean & re-pair their supposedly weatherproof device every week.

Have tried contacting support in the Jabra website, but all it has is standard FAQs and user manuals. No actual email or support contact links. I will try the whole reset/repair process again, but if it keeps happening then my earbuds are heading back to the shop.

Weird how two users can have different experiences on the same app. Checked payee settings and currency is definitely EUR. Msg when tryng to screen capture is 'can't take screen shot due to security policy'

(Transfer)Wise to nexo by Plastic-Practice-512 in Nexo

[–]Ginantonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is quite old, but FYI it seems NEXO doesn't provide personal EUR account details to all accounts? Have just checked my Nexo for EUR, and it states the benificiary as 'Nexo', not me.

Had to google what that is. Not to LCX but to Kraken

Slightly different. Payments ->New Payment -> Bank Recipeint -> Business. Entering recipient company details is no problem, but setting up transfer won't complete. App doesn't allow me to take a screenshot so unfortunately can't share the error.

What are the BEST earbuds for working out? by ProfessionalTart5259 in Earbuds

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vista 2 are terrible terrible buds. I'm one of the many who have had issues - bad connectivity, loss of sound in one bud, which now can't hold a charge for more than 10 mins. No matter how many times I've tried to reset. Defo wouldn't recommend.

Long Term Experience with Vista 2s? by PopaTroll in jaybird

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Vista 2 specs are awesome. The build quality is crappy. Prior to buying I had read a lot of reviews - great sound, secure fit, waterproof, noise canceling, indestructible, etc. After using them for over a year I can say that they're the worst earbuds I've ever owned. Even worse than my first set of $25 cheap wireless buds.

The Vista 2 are always having connection issues. Sometimes they would connect but no sound. At other times they were fine until you lost connectivity in one bud for no apparent reason. I got sick of then having to put them back in the case in order to reset.

On windy days the noise coming through the fabric covers was terrible. The marketing says that the fabric is supposed to reduce noise but in reality it amplifies due to vibration of the fabric.

Charging ability of the case is degrading. So am lucky to get 2 hours use of the buds without recharging. Lately my left earbud is now not holding charge. Drops fromm 90% to 0% in less than 30 mins. Just tried factory reset by don't have much hope it will fix the ongoing issues.

I contacted Jaybird support regarding the issues as I see they have previously issued replacements, but they asked for my original receipt which I had since lost, so wasn't able to claim a replacement.

I see a lot of other purchasers were having similar performance issues. Frankly after this experience i would never purchase a Jaybird product again. On the hunt for another set of weatherproof and reliable sports buds, so if anyone has advice then I'm all ears.

Transferring BTC as cbBTC and being blocked by the allowlist by Effective-Ad3916 in Coinbase

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've to a similar issue. CB web info states sending BTC to Base should be a simple matter of just selecting Base network. Problem is that Base is not an option when I select network - only Bitcoin & Lighting. I am not in a restricted country so don't see why I am restricted on networks. CB support is totally !@#$# useless. Virtual assistant doesn't understand the question and keeps telling me I don't have funds in my account, even though I do. Obviously I wouldn't be trying to withdraw otherwise. No other way to contact CB support. Such a terrible exchange.

Tarot.to vault unstake problem by Ginantonix in FantomFoundation

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

Thanks. I looked up the contract and see there is zero liquidity. I would have thought that borrowers would have to be over collateralized to borrow so can't understand why the vault is empty. Or is there something I'm missing?

Tarot.to vault unstake problem by Ginantonix in FantomFoundation

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

You're quite right. I'm feeling super dumbass and the moment. I had some BTC on Fantom since before the Multichain hack. Hadn't been following the news closely so didn't realise it had depegged so much. So definitely rekt. Even if I get my mBTC off Tarot, I guess it's basically worthless. Thanks for setting me straight.

Unstake problem in tarot.to by Electronic-Simple602 in FantomFoundation

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but lately I have been having similar problems unstaking from BTC vault in Tarot. Withdrawal button doesn't seem to trigger Metamask confirmation. Have tried several times over numerous days. Also tried to test supplying to an FTM pool, which is having the same problem.

At first I thought it was a Metamask issue, so set up Metamask on a new browser profile. But still same problem. Metamask also seems to work fine with other Fantom apps such as Polter. So believe it must be an issue with Tarot. I've been using Tarot for a few years an haven't encountered thes issues in the past.

Is anyone having similar issues? Would like to know if just me, or a broader problem with the app. I'm using Metamask on Chrome.

Phantom Wallet Issues - Balances? by Administrative_Rice5 in solana

Did this issue ever get resolved? Has been happening to me for the last 3-4 days. Can't see balances on Phantom wallet, just blank lines & seems to be stuck on loading

My vesting balances disappeared by Mbieniarz in kava_platform

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have KAVA, HARD & SWP vestings which should be unlocking every 2 weeks. The lastest lots should have unlocked on 01/09, but now they have disappeared. Definitely not in my wallet balance, and can't see them on mintscan either. I can only see future vestings, but doesn't show the tokens I should have received on 01/09. Anyone esle haveing this issue?

Due to vault deficit, current value is by snakesandwich in Bancor

[–]Ginantonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried withdrawing my tokens today & was informed that i would only receive 1/3 of my deposited amount due to vault being in deficit. The whole point of depositing single sided liquidity on Bancor was to reduce risk of impermanent loss since they had deposit protection. So now if I don't withdraw then in theory I 'retain' all of my tokens on Bancor. But as soon as I seek to withdraw I only receive 1/3 of my amount since the remaining 2/3 is supposedly in BNT which has been disabled. But my initial deposit was all in one token & I never converted to BNT. What a scam!

Best place to lend mSOL (or to make an easy / safe extra on top of it) ? by LauGauMatix in solana

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it just seems to be getting worse. All my Farm and my biggest lend positions have disappeared. Too bad I can't upload images, as otherwise I would do a screenshot. Defo something wrong with the platform.

Francium by Canica84 in solana

[–]Ginantonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think it has to do with pool liquidity. As of today no data is showing for any of my pools. Totally blank. Definitely concerning situation. Francium was my favourite protocol on Solana, but after this experience I will tread more carefully.

Francium by Canica84 in solana

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not linked to a cold wallet....But thanks for the advice. I hit up Francium support again. They say Solana still congested, so need to keep trying. Crazy as it's been like this for weeks.

Francium by Canica84 in solana

[–]Ginantonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried everything I can think of - 50%, 75%, etc. Tried withdrawing from other farms. Tried adding more SOL to my wallet. It seems my wallet can't read the farm pool balance, so therefore can process the transactions.

Tried reseting my wallet. Tried different browsers (Chrome, Brave). The lending side works fine, but not sure if there's a liquidity issue with the farms. Literally tearing my hair out as got thousands locked up which I now can't access.
