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?

Nothing says decentralized currency like having a corporation that controls your assets 😋
Don’t point out how all their bullshit requires middlemen and accounts holding their currency to make it work. That makes it looks silly. Almost like it’s just more complicated harder to use money that people can more easily steal from you.
I love talking to tech recruiters… We are a defi startup revolutionizing the financial world… “Cool, so distributed smart contracts, zero knowledge open source swarms?”… no, we run a centralized website where people give us money and we do a thing for them…
Putting the central back in defi. It’s almost like their is willful ignorance in what their own words mean.
Using buzzwords to describe doing something people have been doing for decades or centuries is all the newer big tech companies seem to do. They’re just fancy new middlemen with a shiny interface for us to use.
There are some really cool decentralized concepts that would be fun to work on. But only a tiny handful of companies actually do, it’s usually a open source group doing it.
Makes me mad when I talk to the imposters
