Yeah, that hasn’t been advisable because of the wallet limit. There were unofficial ways to do this that is shared in places like my FAQ that’s pinned at -Retired- PSA: User FAQ - Support & Answers
That’s because what it calls a “device” is referencing the encryption code in the browser. Each browser that gets installed has a unique encryption code, which we sometimes call the internal wallet. So when you did the reset and installed, you made a “new device” as far as it was concerned.
Which payout are you referencing? The one that’s pending now or the one that would have been sent around Feb 7? If talking about the current payments, they are still being sent out so it makes sense if you aren’t seeing it yet.
Nope, but they are eliminating wallet limits. You can track the status of it at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/18572. The official statement is:
This change is currently code-complete. However, actual release date (which won’t be tied to a Brave release #, since it’s back-end work), will depend on how testing goes, which is starting up now.
