Helping GameStop for FREE! (lemmy.whynotdrs.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Remember folks -- there are also a few things you can always do that don't cost anything but some of your time to help GameStop. I understand not everyone has the funds to buy stock, pre-order etc. If you haven't done so already, try knocking out a few things from this list:

  • Visit https://gamestop.com/ and browse daily (I wish they had a 'favorite' or 'collection' system)
  • Visit https://nft.gamestop.com/ and browse daily (you CAN favorite here!)
  • Sign-Up for an account (even if you don't buy pro {you should for discounts!})
  • Follow GameStop Social Media Accounts & engage / like / reply / quote their content
  • Submit an email for their newsletter
  • Sign up @ https://playr.gamestop.com/
  • Download the GameStop App
  • Submit questions & constructive feedback about the website and business ([email protected])
  • If you run your own site / blog, sign up for their affiliate program to make commissions!

While these don't always contribute to profits etc, they do help the company with numbers metrics in terms of marketing, members, engagement & more. Let me know if I'm missing anything!

Feel free to also drop a comment with more ideas on how to help GameStop for without directly spending money. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ¦πŸ’œ

 

In case anyone reads this in the future, I have completed moving my GameStop Wallet crypto / NFTs to another wallet. Below is a top level guide on how I was able to achieve it before GameStop sunset their wallet.

  • I moved IMX content (Illuvitars & D1SKs) to the email version of the IMX wallet {whos private key can be opened on metamask}. All you have to do is sign up via email / magic wallet on the Immutable Marketplace. Make sure you register it to an email you won't lose access to as well as back up and passphrases and private keys after you make it.

  • I moved standard, L1 NFTs and my remaining crypto to my MetaMask and Loopring Wallets (you might as well secure your Loopring Wallet ENS during this process while you're at it). This applies to all L1 NFTs as well as L1, ETH network cryptos.

  • For any L2 currency like IMX tokens, I had to move them back to L1 as ETH before I could withdraw them to another wallet. You only have to do this if the wallet you're moving to does not support IMX tokens. Here is a full guide that Immutable provides on how to do just that.

  • You should still back up your GameStop Wallet Private Key and Passphrase somewhere safe.

Remember, you have until **October 1st** to access your Passphrase and Private Key. The app will be removed from the market on November 1st. Here is the posted alert message in case anyone has not read it on wallet.gamestop.com:

"Due to the regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space, GameStop has decided to remove its iOS and Chrome Extension wallets from the market on November 1, 2023.

We advise that all customers ensure that they have access to their Secret Passphrase by October 1, 2023. Any customer with access to their Secret Passphrase has the ability to recover their account in any compatible wallet."

If you have any questions or would like to suggest an alternative guide, please feel free to comment and link below! Let's continue to help each other out! πŸ’ͺ🏼

Glad you found it. There are two secret things you should make note of. The "Passphrase" and the "Private Key." The private key is another quick way to import your wallet data to another wallet like MetaMask. Both should be protected and not shared with anyone.

I cannot completely answer your first question but as it only just happened today, I'm sure another wallet will come forward to help out with a resolution. As of right now, Brian from Loopring's team posted this tweet on the matter: https://twitter.com/macro_diary/status/1686074579125485569?s=20

I did also see someone in the loopring discord building tool that will swap multiple assets / funds to help with migration. That's fully 3rd party and I always suggest you conduct your own research. We have time so no one should be super frantic about moving stuff all right NOW if that makes sense. Also, IMX is a different beast outside of L2 so I'm also waiting for that solution too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Android had their own rules for the Google Play store that only just got relaxed recently about NFTs and the like. I'm sure that played a role in the hold up. We'll have to see what other Wallet steps in to help out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Of course, my pleasure. There are already some pings from the Loopring folks on social as well as the Telos video stating how onboarding needs to be a lot more frictionless.

I'm sure someone will have more extensive guides ands moving over actual IMX / L2 stuff like one of the other wallets.

Great News! All 88/88 NFTs of APEX have been redeemed! That means the next ape is ready to be released!

Say hello to VALOR! another 88 NFTs are up for grabs! Get him before he is gone!

Backing Up Your GameStop Wallet (lemmy.whynotdrs.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

With the recent posting of news about the GameStop Wallet & Extension, I thought it right to make a quick guide on how to backup your passphrase to have it on-hand and ready to migrate if needed.

See banner message here: https://nft.gamestop.com

Due to the regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space, GameStop has decided to remove its iOS and Chrome Extension wallets from the market on November 1, 2023.

We advise that all customers ensure that they have access to their Secret Passphrase by October 1, 2023.

MAJOR NOTE: NEVER SHARE YOUR PASSPHRASE WITH ANYONE! ANYONE ASKING FOR YOUR PASSPHRASE IS A SCAMMER. Stay safe.

Mobile: Open Wallet > Click 'Profile' at bottom right > Select 'Backup secret phrase' > Read what it says and then hit 'Reveal Secret Phrase'

**WRITE THESE WORDS DOWN!** Like on actual paper and store somewhere safe. This is how you will import your wallet somewhere else in the future.


Chrome Extension: Log in to GS Wallet Chrome Extension > Click your avatar circle icon in the top right of the extension when it is open > Click Settings > Scroll down and hit 'Export Secret Phrase' > Read what it says, enter your password again and hit 'Export Secret Phrase' again

**WRITE THESE WORDS DOWN!** Like on actual paper and store somewhere safe. This is how you will import your wallet somewhere else in the future.


If you have any questions - please let me know! I'd be glad to help walk folks through it. Just remember to secure your passwords.

Remember - NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR CRYPTO! Same goes for stonks! NOT YOUR NAME, NOT YOUR SHARES!

Redemption Update: At the time of writing this comment, 79/88 NFTs have been redeemed! APEX is almost gone and the next ape will be released when he is fully redeemed or the redemption window ends on 8/3. Thanks Apes! πŸ’ͺ🏼🦍

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for your kind words Freedom. I've always been a very strong believer in "slow and steady wins the race." I'm also a very firm believer in where we are headed in terms of NFTs, Crypto and Web3.

We'll get there and adoption like this takes time in general. The good news is, with folks like us, they'll have something to engage with already once they get here πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ¦πŸ’œ

Thanks to awesome apes on the discord, I've also expanded my knowledge and collection into Layer 2 and Loopring's offering like Red Packet NFT drops.

My first collection after teaching myself is called: Red Bandana Gorillas
(I'm sure you all get the reference πŸ˜‰)

I'll be dropping apes from the set periodically as their NFTs get 100% claimed or timed out. At the time of writing this, APEX here has been redeemed 32/88 times. Get him before he's gone!

Greetings Apes!

NYTEMODE here again with an intro post to this community and talking about my quest to become a Creator on GameStop's NFT Marketplace. At this point, I think I've been denied about 2 - 3 times but that was well before all of the new knowledge I've gained around NFTs.

Since then, I hit the internet and self-taught myself damn near everything and I am now a featured and sometimes trending creator on another marketplace called KnownOrigin.

I've played a lot of video games and I love to tell stories with my projects. Below you'll find links to some of my projects that I'll be using as examples the next time GameStop's applications open up. It'd mean a lot to me if some of you would simply check them out. Supporters are always welcome, but not required.

My first ever NFT Project: KAWAII ROBOT FRIENDS
Link: https://kawaiirobotfriends.com
10,000 Unique Robots
Price: 0.001 ETH

KnownOrigin Portfolio: https://knownorigin.io/nytemode

Stories Within

ELITE EIGHT: Future Cybernetic Soldiers Saving the World
Collection Link: https://knownorigin.io/collections/nytemode/elite-eight
Price: 0.08 ETH

Sentry Wolves: Chibi Mecha Wolves

Price: 0.008 ETH

The Remainders: Post-Apocalyptic Band of Survivors

Price: 0.08 ETH

+more

I've already met some great apes in this community and they've even helped me test and update my projects to realize that yes, they all support the GameStop Wallet! All of these in particular are on Layer 1, but they can be moved to Layer 2 and used in projects like Metagates. I have a few already ported over and hanging inside mine πŸ‘πŸΌ

Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for reading! πŸ–€πŸ’œ

Say Hello to Cardboard Buck!

Buck resurfaced recently and I knew I had him with me for YEARS somewhere. I was able to find him today. This is a cardboard cutout from an in-store pop-up standee that I believe was used to promote the original Buck coin game on mobile. I was working at GameStop at the time. He is eating a chocolate gold coin.

I don't have the karma to post this on the reddits but I don't mind if one of you apes do. I date stamped it with my username for good measure should anyone ask. Feel free to ask questions here too if you have any!

Update: So I had no idea this was a thing until just a few moments ago. I believe I've scheduled my book to be free for the next 5 days so anyone here (and anyone you'd like to share it to) can snag the book for free (I believe this is how it works) starting tomorrow until midnight PST on Sunday, July 9th.

I hope this small promotion is two-fold. A little promotion for my book in general, and some freebies for the ape family to read and take part. If nothing else, just thanks for reading this post.

See you on the moon! πŸŒ•

 

This is now my 3rd time posting this since both subs were nuked. But, 3rd times the charm right?

First and foremost I did receive permission to post this. I've been here for this whole saga and man, what a show it's been. I lost my job recently but I'm a long time lurker, only XX shares pure booked and longer time gamer. I even worked at GameStop way back in the way backs and am a midnight launch veteran having worked releases like Call of Duty: MW2 and Halo: Reach. I was even working at GameStop when they LAUNCHED the PowerUp Rewards program. I am also not looking for sympathy, but opportunity.

Game Changers: How NFTs and Blockchain are Transforming the Video Game Industry

I wrote this book for my friends and family who are still very resistant and hesitant about what is happening. Right in front of our eyes. It is only about an hour long read and touches on a lot of subjects of the space without getting technical for people to understand easily. I mention GameStop's NFT marketplace, Loopring and Immutable X within the book as well. The book shares insight on how true ownership unlocks so many possibilities. The biggest one that makes my friends eyes light up is the fact that if they spend X hours grinding in a game to unlock something, the ability to sell it to someone else sets them ablaze.

3 people in my friend group have the Silver Kayle skin from the physical Collector's Edition of League of Legends. We've ALL been offered $1,000+ for our accounts just for that skin alone - imagine if they were NFTs πŸ˜‰

The best part about the book? The secret sauce is a lot of the points and web3 details in the book can be translated to almost ANY industry. Gaming is just easier to explain with because I know it better than anything.

Here is a link to the book on the jungle site: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7JFHNCH (it was free to self-publish and distribute) -- It is free if you have Kindle Unlimited, $2.99 digital, $8.99 for a paperback.

I've also applied to GameStop's Creator program to no avail, but I'll still keep trying every time that application opens. I'm currently an NFT creator on another platform building up my portfolio for the time being.

I want to thank all of you apes for teaching me so much. It's because of you and this saga as well as my passion for gaming / tech related things that has brought me this far. If you have any questions, let me know.

As always - Buy, Shop, DRS, Pure Book, HOLD πŸ¦πŸ’œ Apes Together Strong.

Hello fellow Apes 🦍

Very happy to be here and happy we now have our own Lemmy. I'm very much looking forward to continuing this journey with you all.

I've been a lifelong gamer, actually worked for GameStop way back when (I was there for CoD:MW2 and Halo Reach midnight releases)!

I've learned so much from this entire saga, but have always been a lurker. Never having enough karma to post until I found the DRSGME subs. As soon as I began taking part, they both got nuked one right after the other.

I'll do what I can to take part now.
