I know BAT payouts are processing so numbers shown in browsers today and over the next couple days are likely to be highly volatile. I’ll wait patiently until things shake out.
I also appreciate the responses to my questions re. how it’s possible that more than the allowed number of my BRAVE instances are showing up as “Verified”. Once again, I’m willing to be patient and to see what spills out. Though I’ll say again that the whole BAT accounting process leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
BUT … and notice it’s a BIG but …
As of the the last couple days, Brave on my main desktop system, quite possibly one of, if not the first of my multiple Brave instances that was verified when Uphold wallets were made available, is no longer verified. How is this possible ??? Or, to be a bit impolite … WT* ??? The forum doesn’t allow me to add the “F” to that acronym.
Sure, there have been instances when a connection between a browser instance and Uphold became “broken” but it was a simple matter of logging in again and “et voila”, all is well. When I tried to “fix” this problem by clicking on the Uphold link in the BAT summary, I was told I was at the limit of browser connections and that this instance was not being let in.
Again … Huh ??? WHAT ??? Are you kidding me ???
This is just bizarre and I can’t wait to see what happens when BAT are distributed. What will be posted to my wallet? From which browsers? I “think” there might be a way to tell what’s going on, but can I trust any of it?
Like I said at the outset, I’ll wait and see what happens over the next few days, but I thought it important to note that suddenly, a browser that has been verified for MANY months and months, that is, along with my phone, one of the two most prolific generators of BAT, is now UN-verified.
If the “solution” to the “imagined problem” that I had – what appeared to be – more than the allowed limit of verified browsers was to dump / disconnect one, at least have the decency to allow me to control which gets dumped.
I’m sorry for the long rant here. I really really like the Brave browser platform and privacy philosophy. I really really like that we, as users, are being rewarded for our attention, meager as that reward may be, it’s infinitely better than nothing. I recognize that, at the end of the day, this is tempest in a teacup since the the (meager) rewards amount to a cup of coffee or two per month … we’re not talking about serious money here, at least that portion of money that flows to me / users. But this is crazy and begs the question as to what other issues may be lurking that are not so easily visible.
Thanks in advance for your patience and responses.
PS & BTW … feel free to move this to a new topic if needed. I’m sorry if it feels as if I’m hijacking this one.
