Hello nice people,
I’ve been using NiceHash app for some time 5-6 years ago. (It was a simple app for mining cryptocurrency and you get paid in bitcoin on their wallet, then you could transfer bitcoin to another wallet.) It was working fine until they got hacked (or fooled us) and lost all crypto. Luckily I didn’t loose much like some guys did. I decided not to use the service anymore and I’m still receiving stupid e-mail newsletters. I tried to unsubscribe and It asks me for login, I know password, but don’t have 2fa anymore. Also I don’t have backup 16 words.
Now support told me that this is the only way and I feel ridiculous about taking selfie just to unsubscribe. Am I protected against this somehow? I live in Europe and I think Nicehash is located in neighbourhood.
And of course I never wanted to subscribe…and I don’t think I ever verified account with a document.
What are my options other than just filtering that shitty domain as spam?
edit: typo
Nope, fuck that. I’m done giving my personal info out to random ass places for exactly this reason. I don’t trust you with it anymore and the lure of “massive cryptocurrency gains” is long dead and gone. There are only a few cryptos I even still trade but my financial institution lets me trade those coins so I’m fine.
Oh and don’t give me the “not your keys not your coins” argument either. It doesn’t matter, most of these shit coins get rugged anyways so it doesn’t matter if I keep it with a bank, my own wallet or an exchange. At least with my financial institution I can conduct all my trades in one place and minimize security risks by not having so many financial accounts open, or to close for that matter. Also it’s easier to file my taxes this way.
Okay rant over. Thanks for reading.
