Nucleus just drove the nail in the coffin of my enthusiasm for DNMs.

So long story short I've been scrambling to find a new market to do business on in the wake of agora closing. I settled on Nucleus since once of the reputable vendors I liked from agora was there and I already had an account that I had set up some time ago. I deposited a little over 1 btc to cover the purchase (STUPIDLY) and then remembered something...I had forgotten to check the PIN to verify it was still the same. So I hurried to the PIN settings just to put in my PIN to see if it was still the same, thinking if it was different at least I could cancel the transaction before it confirmed to the blockchain and just explain to support if necessary. NOPE. I saw the message on nucleus beforehand that said withdrawals would be locked for 3 days following PIN change but I figured A) My PIN hadn't actually changed I just confirmed it was the same and B) Withdrawals to your same btc address is handled differently than a purchase to another btc address.

So when I go to actually buy the item I'm greeted with the nasty little message that withdrawals are locked for 3 days following PIN changes, and there is jack shit that I can do. I have over $250 just sitting on a fucking website that I can neither spend nor get back for myself. I just get to hope, cross fingers and pray that nucleus is still up and running Monday night and that the admins don't pull and exit scam, which given the current status of the markets that's up in the wind.

Fuck all this shit, and fuck any smartass who reads this and first thought or response is "serves you right" I know it does but just fuck off.

FUCCCCCKKKKKK

If you can afford to lose it don't send it to a shady illegal darknet site...

Have you tried explaining the situation to their support?

If you've got 2FA and thus can prove you are the real owner of the account, they should be able to reset the timer manually.

Nucleus is not the problem here, man. Rules are rules.
