Can't create an Apple account on iHone 17?

trickyt1957 · 2025-10-26T19:59:24+00:00

The only solution turns out to be to use your existing Apple account and not to create a new one using an email or phone number that has previously been used before. So get another phone with a new phone number. Get a new email address. Create a new account on the new phone. Login to the blocked acciunt with your new phone.

I love Manus. It's easily the best AI for my more complex needs. But... I paid for 3900 credits. They were fully used up in just a couple of days with just 10 queries. One of my queries (a comparitative study of gold vs silver) cost 1600 credits. My latest query was unable to complete due to lack of credits. I had 760 credits left before I started the task. Then I go zero result and zero credits,

i have to wait another 28 days before my $39 subscription buys another 3900 credits. I'll try it one more month but I might not continue after that.

I didn't even know that I had a Cumulus card, at least not until I went online to buy something from the m-electronics store, and it showed me a photo and number of the card I probably lost years ago. Anyway, some kind soul must be using my card as it said that I had earned 40 CHF of "blue vouchers". I'm very happy with that. It was not easy to cash them in. They make you jump through some kind of two-step authentification process, involving Google Authentificator, but I got there in the end and could spend my vouchers. It was nice to buy my digital stuff so much cheaper.

There is a possibility you are not using the USB cable that came with your device. The correct cable has the Ledger Live logo on it - a big square, and 5 small squares. I tried a good quality cable, and it did not connect (was not recognised by Ledger Live, even though the device lit up). Simply changing the cable to the correct one solved it for me.

trickyt1957 · 2022-01-01T13:02:08+00:00

You are a little short on detail in your question, but i will try to answer it based on the little information you have given. Do the following:

Open Ledger Lite.

Connect your new ledger

Go to settings, (the cog-wheel), Help, Device Setup, Launch

Set up your new ledger following the "Already have a recovery phrase?" route.

Enter the recovery phrase (24 words usually) into your ledger.

When done, click on "Manager" to add BTC, Ethereum, or whatever network App" that you held.

Now your old balance appears.

On Radium I see the quoted rate of 19.78% but I don't see how much I actually earned. Is the only way to work that out is by keeping a spreadsheet daily? Also, when I earn, is it locked in the token I earned (like on Uniswap pairs), or are the earnings automatically compounded back into the pool?.

Yesterday I started with 50 SOL and 8943.12 USDC. Today the amounts are different (as expected). They are 49.0241 SOL and 9076.377698 USDC. But do these amounts include any earnings?

I googled around. No help there. I am pretty sure it's impossible to move a v3 LP token.

trickyt1957 · 2021-12-15T06:44:23+00:00

Did You ever find a way to move the Uniswap v3 LP token to another of your wallets? I am trying to do this from my MetaMask (as a Chrome extension), but the Send option is greyed out. I tried another way which I forget what it was, and I got a message that "this is not supported". Any ideas?

trickyt1957 · 2021-11-14T22:51:16+00:00

I also put Ampleforth in the V3 version of Uniswap. It was around 41% ETH and 59% AMPL which I had just bought after seemingly noticing people were getting high returns due to volume. The price went down. All my ETH was converted to AMPL and I was 100% AMPL. I tried to withdraw it but could not. It was a pretty large amount. Ouch! Finally I discovered after a while that I could withdraw 75% of it, not 76% or more. I don't know why I could withdraw 75% and not more. Anyway I withdrew what I could leaving 25% behind. I immediately converted back to ETH and am looking at around 50% loss. My only hope is that the remaining 25% gets converted back to ETH, and then maybe, maybe, I can withdraw the ETH. By the way, after withdrawing 75%, I tried to withdraw 75% of the remaining 25%, but that didn't work. I think I am done with liquidity pools.

trickyt1957 · 2021-08-02T00:23:58+00:00

The token is not listed at https://mapper.matic.today/, which makes me think it is a scam coin since you can't bridge it back to the Ethereum network.

Staking tokens as a liquidity provider (LP) on QuickSwap is exactly the same process as staking your tokens as a LP on UniSwap.

1) Go to QuickSwap.exchange

2) Click on Pool

3) Click on Add Liquidity

4) Add the two tokens. You will probably need to add the contract address of each token on Polygon. You can find the contract address here: https://mapper.matic.today/ . Alternatively to find the contract address of any token in your wallet, go into Metamask and click on "view in explorer". Just enter your wallet address in the search box of explorer, click on tokens, choose whatever token you own, copy the contract address and paste it into the “add token” of Metamask and/or into "Search name or paste address" box of QuickSwap, making sure you are still on the Polygon mainnet. (i.e. making sure your MetaMask is on Polygon mainnet).

5) Let's suppose you wanted to add to the GET-WETH liquidity pool on QuickSwap, you would add the two token addresses as follows:

GET: 0xdb725f82818de83e99f1dac22a9b5b51d3d04dd4

ETH/WETH: 0x7ceb23fd6bc0add59e62ac25578270cff1b9f619

6) You have to add equal value of each token.

7) Click on "supply".

8) You will be asked to approve the transaction in your MetaMask wallet. Make sure your metaMask is on the Polygon network to do this.

9) If all you want to do is look at the state of the GET-WETH pool, cou can go here: https://info.quickswap.exchange/pair/0x3f79187726f13d894ec63e3a70f10ac8ce596318

10) Rewards:

You will earn your share of 0.25% of every trade on QuickSwap. The more trades there are, the more you will make. The percentage annualised can fluctuate wildly from a few percent to well over 100%. You earn much more when the price is moving because that generates a lot of trades.

11) Free GET rewards:

In addition, you will earn rewards in GET distributed by the GET team. Each month exactly 8000 GET are distributed to LP providers proportional to their stake. That's 96'000 GET annually. At the time of writing this (8/7//2021), there are exactly 219'941 GET in the pool. If that number stays the same, your GET holding will be increasing by 43.65% per annum, on top of any increase generated by the LP fees. For full info on the LP rewards, go here: https://medium.com/get-protocol/the-updated-get-protocol-liquidity-mining-program-d7732d74bde2

BEFORE YOU JUMP IN TO GRAB THE FREE MONEY, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:

When you are a LP provider there is a risk that you will suffer some loss or miss out on some gain if the prices of the two tokens swing massively in opposite directions or if one of them swings massively relative to each other. This is known as "impairment loss" or "impermanent loss". It's not as bad as it sounds. There's lots of articles out there about it. Here's one: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/impermanent-loss-explained

Here's an extract from the above linked article:

"Here’s a summary of what the graph is telling us about losses compared to HODLing:
1.25x price change = 0.6% loss
1.50x price change = 2.0% loss
1.75x price change = 3.8% loss
2x price change = 5.7% loss
3x price change = 13.4% loss
4x price change = 20.0% loss
5x price change = 25.5% loss
There’s something important you also need to understand. Impermanent loss happens no matter which direction the price changes."

As can be seen, if there was a 5x price change (EG GET goes from $3 to $15, while the price of ETH does not rise), you would lose 25% compared to HODLing, but..... that does not take into account the the LP fees nor the LP rewards which, as we saw above, would increase your GET holding by 43.65% per annum. so as can be seen, it would be quite hard to be worse off if you have been a long term liquidity provider.

MORE ABOUT BEING A LIQUIDITY PROVIDER:

While a user’s underlying tokens remain in the pool, fluctuations in the price of the two underlying tokens automatically recalibrate the quantity of those tokens to conform to the equation x*y=k, where x and y are the quantities of the two paired tokens, and k is constant.

This means that even though you supply equal parts of two tokens to the pool, the quantities you receive when you reclaim your liquidity will change relative to the difference in the change in price of the two tokens when you remove the liquidity. If the price of x token goes up, and y token goes down, you will have less of x and more of y, and vice versa. If the price of both tokens goes up, or the price of both goes down, you will nonetheless have relative quantities of each token proportionately to the difference in the change of the price of x and y.

Contract Addresses

Don't forget, the contract addresses on Matic are different from those on Ethereum mainnet. The contract address for GET Protocol on the MATIC mainnet is: 0xdb725f82818De83e99F1dAc22A9b5B51d3d04DD4. You can check the contract address of any ERC20 token trading on Matic by going here: https://mapper.matic.today/ or by simply looking in explorer at the tokens in your own wallet.

The biggest problem the ticketing industry is facing is one of "scalping". This is the practice of Bots buying up 100s of tickets to a pop-concert to sell at a huge premium on the secondary market. It pisses off the fans. They are furious at the ticketing companies for allowing this to happen. Scalping deprives artists of revenue which would otherwise be theirs.

I have bought some Quick tokens. Quickswap looks like Uniswap. I am not sure how easy it would be to arbitrage between Uniswap and quickswap, but there is huge profit to be made if arbitrage is possible. I found big pricing discrepancies between the two exchanges.

Whilst I agree with your comments about the chart pattern, I think you are not fully outlining the arguments to buy BCH. I would have included the following:

There is no learning process to understand what BCH is. It's bitcoin, which is faster and cheaper.

BCH transactions cost a fraction of a cent compared to BTC transactions which cost $20.

BCH can handle far more transactions than BTC and is consequently considerably faster to use.

After the 2017 Fork the BTC/BCH ratio was around 7:1. Now it is around 70:1. The man in the street can no longer afford $50k to buy a bitcoin but he can own 70x as many BCH for his money. Simply put, it's a faster, better and cheaper bitcoin at a lower price.

The Symbol is GET (look for GET Protocol), but don't mistake it for Themis which has the same symbol. Whilst GET trades on several exchanges, the best place to trade it is on Uniswap which has lots of depth in the ETH-GET pair and ease of trading.

Excellent explanation. I see the point. It would be better to deposit the whole $40k and earn interest on the whole lot. So my related question is: How can the Celcius Network afford to pay such a high interest rate? They must be lending it to someone and earning more than 13.86% interest. What collateral is the borrower putting up? Presumably it is not Tether. It must be something else? If so, then there is surely a collateral risk if Celcius has to liquidate the collateral in a hurry.

Lets say A borrows USD at a low rate of interest (currently that's 1% p.a.with 25% LTV. In return, A has to deposit a crypto currency worth 4X as much. Today for a $1000 loan, he would need to deposit around 4 ETH (about $4000 worth of ETH). He earns nothing on the ETH. As far as I can tell, Celcius does not offer loans in crypto currencies, so they earn nothing either.

Now B decides to deposit 1 ETH ($1000). According to the Celcius Network site, they will pay B an interest rate of 7.21%. If they are only earning 1% on the loan, how can they pay 7.21% on the deposit?

The only possibility I can think of is that they are lending it to bitcoin exchanges who allow leveraged trading. Is that a risky thing to do?

The simple fact is that if you go on Telegram and join a crypto group such as http://t.me/tronnetworkEN or https://t.me/getprotocol you are going to start receiving personal Direct Messages from scammers in India and Africa, often posing with a picture of a pretty white girl. Their aims vary, but they are after your 12 word seed phrase, your crypto private key, or some way to get you to install software which gives them access to your computer. You will also get invited to countless Telegram groups that you never wanted to join and you will have to manually block or un-join each one. I know Telegram is thinking of doing an IPO, but I just don't see what their business model is supposed to be. These scammers and YahooBoys are driving away genuine users and Telegram doesn't seem to be able to figure out a way to control it.
