My crypto.com metal credit card has arrived I should be interesting to see what sort of rewards I can earn. First step will be to see how to un stake the crow I needed to get it. It was way quicker than the 180 day wait they talked about. Am looking forward to using it as I haven't been able to use many of the qantas rewards points I have earnt on my other card.

My first ever splinterlands pack opening too. Was a bit of bit of a process for a newbie, I had a ask questions thanks @forykw and thanks to @jfang003 too who's post I read a number of times and his rising stars beginner tips were very helpful too.
Now all new splinterlands cards to learn I only was just getting used to the old ones but should be fun.

@lukeeeyy @vidus4evz and @mateyevans what have you been up to?

Hey... =)

First step will be to see how to un stake the crow I needed to get it. It was way quicker than the 180 day wait they talked about.

You don't Yes you need to stake to order this card... only above this one. I have the green one for example. It should take 180 days from when you first staked... but if you order half way... you can unstake sooner... Either way, it pays off way more to have the CRO staked to get those extra rewards when using the card. I am even thinking of upgrading to the next level... but 50k stake... is quite a lot!

Parallel to this, I am testing (slow work) the validator node. With the mainnet launched transacting on the CRO chain is super cheap, compared with the ETH. Download the wallet (non-custodian one) and you can also use it on PC by importing the same seed phrase.

Not sure if you followed someone's referral, but if you did, you have like a few days to stake CRO to get the 25USD reward. I think the minimum is 50 CRO if it's still the same.

Using mouse over the abilities on the splinterlands cards gives you more info about what those abilities do.

!PIZZA

You are more a fan of !WINE or !BEER ... just curious... as for me it depends quite a lot, but by default it might be WINE... if alone... or BEER if with others... !LOL can't explain...

There is no Whiskey token... otherwise, that one would be for sure another one. Especially some single malts... or even some very old blends.

Thanks, mate for being this much !ALIVE

I watched a documentary on Marijuana last night…
…that’s probably how I’ll watch all documentaries from now on.
@new.things, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @forykw
Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ. (2/2)

Would definitely be interested to know about that... they are usually helpful if you persist.

I agree they are becoming a very big organization and that brings all sorts of crap... such as L1 support that can't do anything else but to psychologically comfort you and be a middle man messager... but eventually it works out.

Has your country been whitelisted for the cards?

First, they gave me this whole spiel -

Thank you for your account registration with Crypto.com. As a global financial services provider, we are required by various laws and regulations to obtain information from clients who are a Politically Exposed Person (“PEP”). During a review of your personal information, it was noted that you may be considered a PEP. As such, we are looking to obtain some additional information from you.

If yes, please state your (i) position, (ii) name of the associated government agency, and (iii) the current tenure of the position held or how long it has been since you left the position.
If you are not a PEP yourself, but are associated with or related to a PEP, please state the relationship along with the associated PEP’s (i) position,(ii) name of the associated government agency.

A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is an individual who is or has in the past been entrusted with a prominent public function in a particular country and is generally classified under one of the following:

Please respond to this email within 3 calendar days from the date of this email. Please note our review cannot be completed without your assistance. If this review cannot be completed, the operation of your account may be affected.

Since to the best of my knowledge, I am not PEP or related to one, so that is what I replied, right away -

Dear Crypto.com team

As per the provided definition I do not recognise myself as PEP.

Please provide further details as to what made you note that I may be considered a PEP, as I might be unaware.

Thank you in advance.
Have a lovely day!

Total radio silence from them for a month and then they just dropped this generic excuse of a reply -

After reviewing your application and with careful consideration we have determined that we will not be able to onboard you as a customer.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best wishes,
The Crypto.com Team

This is the point where I get Josie-style-fluffy-nasty on their asses.. I apologize in advance -

Dear The Crypto.com Team,

Your decision is saddening and I wish I could say that I understand it, especially since you failed to respond to my previous email.

May I kindly inquire as to what was the reasoning behind this decision?

If you are in a possession of a crucial information about me as a person that has made you discriminate against me, may I request that you provide any and all personal information you have on me as per GDPR?

Thank you in advance.

No response..
And in my book this is me being EXTRA pushy -

Hi,

Please confirm that you have received my request for Rights of Access to a copy of my personal data as per The General Data Protection Regulation Article 15.

Thank you in advance.

Nothing..

Needless to say that this whole interaction made me feel absolutely miserable like I'm this socially stinky person and people have some kind of dirt on me, but no one is willing to talk about it, or face me, or just ..anything. I was shut out in the cold, not knowing what the reasoning is, not having a chance to get any kind of reply. I guess I could have been more persistent, but I'm not that kind of a person. If I feel unwanted I will RUN instead of trying to convince someone to like me or accept me.

Well, I guess from their perspective they are so swamped that they don't have the kind of time to respond to me, but.. then that's just it, I guess it's better that I don't have the card since I would not have the guts to go through this kind of painful process in case I actually had some kind of issues with the money on their card.

And yes, I agree pulling the GDPR 'card' on them was low of me, not my proudest moment, but even if that did not mobilize them, then I guess nothing would.

Either way, as I said this whole interaction with them just made me feel completely pathetic and miserable, so I guess I don't want to do business with a company that makes me feel that way.. xD But yeah, I am still salty about it.. because those cards do be looking damn fine..

Hugs&Coffee,
~Josie~

Thanks for sharing this. It kind of confirms what I already knew... their support LVL1 is crap... and does not have any power to understand the processes they need to follow.

I completely understand your position and I was even very close to the spot you have been at... but because I "care not more than crap" for their processes or politics... I usually enjoy failing their own views and proving them wrong... challenging their own stupidity of humanized robotics. Usually, I learn in the process too, and find special secrets they don't wish necessarily to unveil. LOL

Always use stupidity against stupidity LOL works best when you feel unfairly approached!

Either way, their process will eventually need to get better or another competitor will grab your lovely heart for patience and please you more.

!LUV for the !ENGAGE and for being so patient...

Like @crrdlx said, these tokens are distributed via bots... these bots run over history information on the blockchain. The history is an expensive process that runs in parallel to the normal block information of the blockchain (that gets recorded on the ledger available to anyone). This history is sort of an easy processed way of accessing information from the past without having to "replay" (read) all the blocks from the beginning to that exact position (to be certain of what happened is true).

Sometimes these nodes have hiccups or need to restart and then need to catch up...
The bots run on this history and hence will only "action" things once that history catches up.

It's all on the ledger... so, it's just a matter of catching up and doing what was requested... no problems.

It should actually be interpreted as a normal thing to happen for applications (the bot)... similar to when a game website goes "under maintenance" while it's trying to do something on the back end... it's the same here... the difference is that the front ends don't block you into that "under maintenance" page... and you just keep waiting until the website shows you what was already "digitally verified".

Not sure if I complicated or made it more clear @new.things and @josie2214.

😅 !LOL

I left you a note in Discord on this (I think it was you). Simple answer: hive-engine had node issues last night and things were shut down. They should catch up now. !LUV

Also, what you wrote about things catching up is correct. The LUV token uses a python script that "listens" to the Hive blockchain and scans for !LUV commands. When it gets one, the script sends one LUV from the @LUVshares account to the person being commented to. Sometimes the communication between the script and the witness nodes gets broken. Then, it tries to reconnect and usually does. However, at times things time-out and the script shuts down and must be manually restarted. When restarted, it simply goes back to the last block recorded, then moves forward, picking up any !LUV commands that were left during the down time. !LUV

Looking at the sunset after the huge storm this afternoon, I went for a walk and found one little dandelion that wasn't damaged.
Just thought I would share this.
