Brave. What can I say. The Saga continues.

If you've been following the fun ride I've been having with Brave rewards payout and trouble getting anyone to help, I'd been posting daily updates on reddit hoping that someone would respond 

Hi,

Paid out for 1 browser nothing for the other 2. I made a new Uphold wallet reinstalled Brave on 2 comps with new browser wallets last month and still I don't get a smooth payout day.

Sent CryptoJennie a message with my Brave internals.

  1. Browsers are up to date.

  2. In the UK

  3. Verified uphold account

  4. Brave rewards are linked to uphold account

  5. Just 3 browsers to 1 uphold account

Update: Another browser paid out, guessing one of the new ones I setup received 11.2

Update: All estimated values have dropped now, still waiting on 1 browser to payout.

Update: Did NOT get payout for 1 browser. The browser that was holding the 150 BAT that u/CryptoJennie sent me last month and 50+ BAT for last month.

 

Well it seems the payouts for verified wallets is complete.

3 browsers to 1 uphold account doesn't seem to be working. Had a shed load of trouble last month and the month before that with payout. Last month decided to stop pissing about trying to get things sorted/fixed that I deleted Brave off 2 computers, losing 300+ Bat and half of last months earnings. Got the Uphold wallet deleted and created a new one.

Re-installed Brave back onto the 2 computers and noted down the pass phrases...etc. Only browser I didn't uninstall was my main, which is the one I'm using now. Linked the 3 browsers to Uphold and waited for the 6th. The new re-installs paid out fine, my main hasn't, I haven't had the 150 from Jennie nor the 50ish I'd got from last month ads.

Back to being pissed off again.

OK, now I'm very pissed. Wait for the v1.11 fix or you have more than 3 browsers to Uphold account. No, I only have 3 fucking browsers to 1 fucking Uphold account and why the fuck do I have to wait again, 2 fucking months and a shit load of BAT sacrificed to get this sorted once and for all.

Every fucking payout day is a cluster fuck!

 

Update: Holy hairy armpits, Creator rewards dropped...was expecting trouble with that. Bonus \o/

 

Just come to me, isn't v1.11 the release number for android? if so why do I have to wait for a android release to fix the browser on my PC?

 

Update: Well I know the 150 is there, tipped a friend and he confirmed he received the tip. No Idea where the 50+ from May ads is, seems to have vanished. Getting no replies to my DM's now.

 

13th June - Problem still not solved. 149 showing in Brave wallet May's ads vanished, have no idea where they went. Still confused why I have to wait for a mobile update even though I'm on PC.

14th June - Getting no replies to DM's here or community forums. At least I have Bitcoin & Black America to read while I wait in purgatory until the central powers deem me worthy of their attention. Stay tuned, daily updates from purgatory.

 

15th June - Still in purgatory, I've managed to build a PC, read half a book, clean the house , tender the garden, replied to many posts on the interweb, posted my blog and every day I look for the reply that may never come. Guess I'll update again tomorrow.

16th June - Another day of whistling in the dark. I'm happy to see other people getting help though. Right, back to whistling, happy to take requests. I'll wait up to the 20th then message Mr Eich see if he can help.

17th June - Looks like another day of whistling, whats another 3 days when I've waited 2 months. In that 2 months they've added a Binance widget and Brave together, but they just can't seem to be able to pay rewards from April or May for 1 browser, I'm not giving this BAT up, I've sacrificed 100's to try and sort this out, even found a bug with Uphold that allowed more than 1 account. What do you get for helping? you get ignored, that's your reward. OK, guess I'll be posting again tomorrow.

18th June - 12 more days and it'll be July, will I be told I'll have to wait again? will I get April, May and Junes payment next payout? who the fuck knows, I'll have to hope the centralised gods of BAT bless and take pity on me. Right, back to purgatory I go.

19th June - Yet another day and nothing. Disappointed more than anything and to top it off I can feel a bout of depression coming. Guess purgatory and depression got together, so hey for me.

20th June - Messaged the CEO.

21st - June took a day off

22nd - Still here, I know I'm not the only one they ignore, found a few people on the community forums who are having the same problem of no help. I know the BAT is there cos the internals say it's there

Balance info

Total balance 149 BATDeposited BAT: 149 BATRewards BAT: 0 BATUphold Wallet: 0 BAT

No idea where the 50+ for May went, this is the BAT u/CryptoJennie sent me for Aprils payout in May, has you can see I still don't have at the end of June. So if anyone here can be arsed to reply with help wouldn't go amiss. Don't think I can do anymore my end, lost 100's of BAT starting over, plus found a flaw with Uphold allowing more than 1 account, what do you get for this? Ignored.

23rd - I know shits different in the US but does support mean something else over there? soon be July and all this starts again, or in a lot of peoples cases continues. 15m downloads and you get 10 people here including the CEO to support 15m users. You know they aint serious about support.

24th - Still waiting, still being ignored. Seen other posters getting replies and help but have found I'm not the only one being ignored.

25th - Another day, no response, seeing more and more people being ignored for months, guess this is the norm.

26th - Reward servers down, who unplugged the Raspberry Pi? Anyway, still waiting.

27th - Still here waiting. Christmas will soon be on us and I'll have more chance of getting a gift off Santa than getting any help. Very Petty indeed.

28th - Another day gone. Race is on, do I get my pension before Brave pays out?

29th - The month is nearly up, be starting this bullshit all over again I expect.

30th - The end of June, still haven't got April or Mays rewards.

July

1st - Oh they got my hopes up, thought I was getting help. More fool me. Right, what was I doing, oh yeah waiting.

2nd - Seems when I DM my browser internals to anyone they seem to stop replying. I have no idea wtf is going on, all DM's are being ignored even on the community forums. Hi @myusername - @Mattches can assist. Thank you. This is the only reply I've had about the problem, guess what, when I DM'd Mattches about it, nothing, stone cold silence. Whats the point of DMing if you ignore them?


Has you can clearly see, I've been a patient puppy, apart from one out burst of frustration, now, has no one on reddit was responding I thought why not post the post in the community forums, take care to star out all the naughty words, because they don't like them, plus the site doesn't allow you to.  I called this masterpiece 'My very own June Payout Megathread' I don't think it went down to well.  Think I may have broke the A.I.  because I am now temporarily on hold for precautionary measures.  Below is the welcome message I got when I logged in.

Account temporarily on hold

Hello,

Please do continue to browse, but you won’t be able to reply or create topics until a staff member reviews your most recent posts. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Good old centralisation, Brave the gatekeepers to the ads and revenue, nothing like taking back control.  Oh well, still, the browsers good, guess I'll have to abandon the reward system and just block all ads.  Right I'll carry on sitting here smiling in disbelief for a while. 

Update:- I can confirm, it was the post, they unlisted it and locked it.  Had 2 replies that I never got to read 

Take care, stay safe.
