decided to give the bat thing a go, had to sign up for this crypto thing. that is the only time I've ever been apart of a security breach
I've had nothing but issues, first things were good, then you had to make an Uphold account. Couldn't do that from my country, then account limit issues. You can only link your wallet to 4 devices and if you reset your phone it counted as adding a device. Locked me out of my wallet after 1 phone upgrade and replacing the cpu on my desktop.
Currently you have to set some sort of account overseer to collect BAT. I still get the ads, but they haven't sent a payout in months.
All in all I estimate about 450-550 BAT I "earned" watching their ads over the last 3 or 4 years was never paid out.
