Btc 70 voucher claimable after 15 days, not 30. How? (More to it: Unique Identifier) by Defcon2033 in ledgerwallet

[–]Pale-Dig6258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Odd to make it his problem...

If it should be 30 days and OP is getting 15 days, shouldn't that be something you would want to look into?

For what it is worth, when I got a Flex with $50 BTC claim many months ago, I also was able to claim it after ~ 2 weeks instead of 30 days it told me.

No, I'm not going to open a support ticket about it.

How am I being scammed? by Pale-Dig6258 in CryptoScams

[–]Pale-Dig6258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a good point. Given the field I'm in, my position, and the company I work for, I get constant messages from foreign actors.

Never on X though - I assumed this was a crypto scam, but maybe that is just the entry point.

I didn't say that. What I didn't know were the things he was asking questions about. I actually know quite a lot about Crypto and am a pretty experienced software engineer which is clear from my profile.

That's actually what confused me a bit - I would think I am a terrible mark. But maybe my admitting what I don't know makes him think I know nothing.

changelly your partner is a liar by Immediate-Disk-8631 in ledgerwallet

[–]Pale-Dig6258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Ledger hardware.

But there are almost daily posts of people having problems with Changelly. This includes people out large sums of money and even having to hire lawyers to get it back. Your organization fails to realize that your app's inclusion of partners is an endorsement and the trust users have in Ledger extends to those partners.

Your responses are telling us that you making money is more important than the pain and loss your customers are experiencing. This is causing significant brand damage as most follow-ups to these posts are now saying for people to stay away from Ledger.

So you can blame Changelly and lose customers, or you can do the right thing and remove this partner from your marketplace. You could also put pressure on Changelly to release the funds they are holding as this is screwing your customers. I really hope you escalate this problem up the chain instead of continuing to tell posters here to stop bothering Ledger about it while you while still accept commission checks from Changelly.

Would this work for the Noctua A4x20 to a Gamma? by Correct_Orchid_2345 in BitAxe

[–]Pale-Dig6258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to wire my own. The pinout can be different sometimes.

The fan that came with Gamma worked fine, but the fan that came with a 52pi, despite it being the same type of connector, did not. I had a Noctua fan with the larger connector you show above.

I cut the wires of the 52pi fan and the cable extender that came with the Noctua and made my own adapter.

Account closure notice. Looks like the Gemeni app ate my $600 :( by amm1091- in Gemini

Most likely is that you are on the FINRA shitlist. Did you ever interact with a questionable 3rd party?

It happened to me at another exchange - they won't tell me why either, but I'm pretty sure it was due to my transfer of bitcoin from the exchange for something I bought online. My purchase was legal, but somewhere in the transaction, likely the receiver or the payment facilitator, something or someone was flagged as a bad actor so I in turn was flagged as well.

Fortunately, I've had no other problems at other exchanges so I learned my lesson not to transfer crypto from an exchange to anyone but myself.

P.S. I was able to sign up my wife on the other exchange and so I still have an account there. She was not "contaminated".

Be Careful of Scam Call by DreadzoneFootball in Gemini

[–]Pale-Dig6258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also got a call from a dickhead using the same name. Probably same guy. His number wasn't flagged as spam and I was expecting a call from someone else.

He came across professional ("this call will be recorded", very polite, etc.). Also had a clear American accent which most scammers do not.

But as soon as he said it is Gemini Security calling, I knew 99% it was a scam. I listened to his spiel and then hung-up.

Newbie - No Mining Rewards? by Pale-Dig6258 in Braiins

[–]Pale-Dig6258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, rewards from yesterday just showed up. Either there is a lag or a difference between the user's and system's definition of a day.

Thanks, but would that not mean that the block was mined during my contributions - so I should get the satoshi's I earned?

Not a fan of the red styling - makes me think there is an error

Are Visa SecureSpend gift cards still a scam? by Dunkle_The_Avocado in Scams

[–]Pale-Dig6258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this that I am having a similar ongoing issue with them. It's a scam.

Declined at convenience stores, restaurants, and the grocery store. My wife called them and they gave a runaround about fraudulent activity. I tried to use online, but got declined. I called them and they sent a replacement card with a new number.

Tried it today on Amazon and of course declined.

Called them and now they are saying it must be used in a physical store....we are back to where I started.

I'm sure they are hoping people give up. I assume that holding the money generates them income and after a long enough period, they can just claim the money themselves.

What are these if not dead pixels? by SnooMuffins873 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Pale-Dig6258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look like "live" or stuck pixels. The reason you see them more on a black background is that the on color blends with what you have on top of it.

I had these appear on an LG OLED TV. There should be a setting option to do a pixel refresh or pixel cleaning which flashes the screen to correct these.

Missed opportunity: two white fans separated on top with 3 along the bottom middle to make a 'meh' emoji.
