@bessmaster,
@steeven is on PTO so I’m stepping in here. Let me see if I can clear some of this up:
I have an uphold wallet. It has 26 bat in it. If I log into it from my phone or my pc it is the same wallet. Why does the browser not understand this?
If I understand your situation correctly, your Android device is currently unverified. In this case, they are separate wallets – you have a Desktop device that is verified/linked with Uphold and BAT earned on that device will be deposited directly into your Uphold account during the payout period (this is typically the 5th of each month).
Your Android device is not yet verified, which means that BAT only accrues in your Android device’s browser wallet.
So historically yes, you would have to accumulate that 25 BAT on the new phone. However, we recently made changes to this process that:
- Changes the minimum BAT threshold to 15 BAT
- Allows users with existing, verified Uphold accounts to verify their Android device without meeting the minimum requirement
That change is documented here on our Github and should be available in the next browser update: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/15196
So for your situation, once your Android device updates Brave to v1.25x, you’ll need to open Brave, tap the Rewards panel, tap Verify wallet to reveal the new menu options – including the option to login to your already verified Uphold account:
I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion. Please let me know if any of the above is unclear or if I missed any issues/questions you had.
