@Gabry66 and @tr33 quick question, dokes it show at brave://rewards? I’m curious if you’re only looking at the widget or if you looked at the Brave Rewards menu.
I know that on the widget at least it should look something like below if you’re not connected to a custodial account:
It does show in the brave://rewards. The widget itself has reset though. I haven’t moved to a custodial account because until now, every time I tried, my accrued rewards were not high enough…
nothing there as well. Only signs of BAT is when checking internals.
Another funny thing. Also my language preferences seem reset, so now I am wondering if the problem did arise after the latest MacOS update or after the browser update
If you have a balance but you’re not connected to a custodian (like Gemini, Uphold, etc.), but suddenly you’re seeing a different interface that doesn’t show a balance (like the one screenshotted below), please first just try restarting your app/browser. That usually fixes any display glitches and will show your balance again.
That said, we strongly recommend you connect a custodial account as soon as possible. See our blog post https://brave.com/rewards-changes.
Same here. My balance (21 BAT) is shown on brave://rewards-internals/ only.
When is (or was?) the sunset for the vBAT?
the article referenced here (Important Changes to Brave Rewards | Thread) stated that users would get several warnings/reminders about transfering the balance to a verified custodian, but I haven’t got that yet…
I feel kinda deflated now I don’t know if I find it worth the effort to continue with the BAT-project. There are hardly any creator I want to support that will accept BAT anyway…
Edit:
I tried restarting the browser, and now it shows up in the widget like before, and on brave://rewards
No exact date given. They were going to have it go away around April but they delayed it. What has been promised in the past is they’ll put out announcements a month in advance (not in the browser, but on sites like this) so that nobody is caught by surprise.
Last target I heard was that new exchange partner would be arriving for India (hopefully by October) and then sunsetting of vBAT shortly after. But we’ll have to see. There are a lot of things going on and they may delay it even further or it could occur a bit sooner.
I am able to see my rewards again after restarting my desktop. But the brave rewards on my android browser arent showing and there is an infinite loading icon under “your balance”
