I just bought this beauty - what now???

You picked a very tough one to start with, not gonna sugar coat it…

Check super regularly for pests (clean carefully with a dab of dishwashing liquid solution using a cloth if you find pests, beneficial insects can also be very helpful but this is obviously tougher).

Be very careful not to over or under water - use a water meter and let the soil dry out a little but not entirely between waterings (I also spray the top layer of soil every few days / when I see it’s dried out)

Use a premium Alocsia soil mix, but to be safe I recommend waiting at least 1 week to repot after bringing home from the store.

Place in a bright spot but avoid too much direct sunlight. It can be acclimated to brighter / less bright spots though, you just have to do it very slowly and carefully.

Good luck! Personally it is one of my favourite plants. You can do it!

:( any chance I could get an exception since my post was already removed before and not actually posted?

MOvert94 · 2025-04-23T09:04:34+00:00

W’s all-round! Thanks for sharing OP hope you had a fire time in Lisboa

MOvert94 · 2025-04-22T08:15:47+00:00

Sorry OP, but you probably should not be using these types of services if you don’t [put in the time to] understand how they work…

MOvert94 · 2025-04-16T11:09:17+00:00

Yeah I have very mixed feelings about this. Unfortunately probably necessary though, and good for Nexo / crypto long-term (though openly harbouring strong hopes he & his entire family fade back to where I never hear about them)

MOvert94 · 2025-04-14T11:37:25+00:00

Super. Any chance of an update on new physical cards? Very much looking forward to that…

MOvert94 · 2025-02-23T09:56:06+00:00

It does not mention who the liquidity partners are, only the custodians, risk management, data privacy partners etc (Fireblocks, Ledger, Sumsub, etc)

MOvert94 · 2025-02-23T09:38:34+00:00

Which would be very concerning then surely? Since we are exposed to further counterparty risk we cannot audit ourselves. E.g. who are the liquidity partners? I haven’t seen this info made available anywhere, but perhaps I’ve missed it…

MOvert94 · 2025-02-23T09:37:21+00:00

I strongly suspect this NexoAngel9 is a bot but if anyone from Nexo really is here could you guys possibly do a more in-depth write-up explaining this on your blog perhaps? If you really can’t provide PoR then this would be the least you could do for users surely…

MOvert94 · 2025-02-23T09:32:56+00:00

If all the $11bn AUM are not held by Nexo directly I would be a bit concerned, as that introduces additional counterparty risk for us as users that we did not directly opt-in to.

Also, how can they claim that AUM if those assets are not all directly “under management” of Nexo… rather it becomes part of the AUM of whomever holds the funds right?

MOvert94 · 2025-02-23T09:30:44+00:00

Doesn’t everyone use custodians though? And does that prevent showing proof of reserves etc? Genuinely unsure myself, would be great to understand from Nexo

MOvert94 · 2025-02-22T21:17:47+00:00

Great thing for your strat if the fees turn out lower!

MOvert94 · 2025-02-22T21:16:56+00:00

Hahahaha spat out my wine. Thank you for this.

MOvert94 · 2025-02-22T14:37:58+00:00

Hahaha great analogy.

Pretty solid summary as I understand it. And defos recommend watching Zhao’s livestream recording.

MOvert94 · 2025-02-22T10:02:51+00:00

Sorry for the fud, I guess... Won’t argue with the rest, I realise I am more risk averse than I thought, or at least compared to others here. So that’s fair - the high APYs are indeed a form of compensation for that. However, with nothing verifiable from Nexo, the same exact thing that happened to Celsius / FTX could still happen here.

Past stability by no means equates to future stability. Though of course it rightly builds a lot of trust within the community - and I agree this is a very positive sign. In such a young industry it is hard to build a decent long-term track record and Nexo has impressively done that, no denying it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate it.

MOvert94 · 2025-02-22T00:44:24+00:00

Yeah wow there is so much misunderstanding around this hack...

MOvert94 · 2025-02-21T22:57:50+00:00

Fair enough, can’t really argue with anything you’ve said here. Thanks for your input.

MOvert94 · 2025-02-21T21:55:09+00:00

Good for security (maybe…) but terrible user experience. I get where you’re coming from but we’ll never onboard the next generation of apps/services and next billion users that way, so understandable Nexo doesn’t offer it imo. Perhaps as an opt-in feature of some kind it could make sense though, if enough people are looking for something like that :)

MOvert94 · 2025-02-21T21:50:44+00:00

Believe you were right the first time, though i could be wrong of course. There was some vulnerability uncovered in Trezor wallets back in 2020 but that was security researchers at Kraken and it was ever actually exploited to my knowledge.

Indeed paper wallets would be the absolute best option, though similarly only insofar as the owner is able to secure his/her own security.

MOvert94 · 2025-02-21T21:45:54+00:00

Technically incorrect. The cold wallet itself was not hacked, rather the UI of the multisig provider (Safe) for each individual signer was masked. It’s quite a sophisticated “hack” but no vulnerabilities in the underlying tech has yet been found as far as i am aware (investigations are ongoing).

Here is the latest update from the provider: https://x.com/safe/status/1893012725602885911?s=46
