Also known as From xLog to ChatGPT
Last week, I was honored to receive a sponsored $20 MIRA, but due to some minor issues, I didn't complete the withdrawal process, so it remained in pending status. It wasn't until I saw that the $18 trial amount gifted to my OpenAI account was expiring on April 1st and needed to be activated for payment that I realized I could use this money for the Depay card activation and verification process. (Currently, the 531993 segment is temporarily feasible)
1. MIRA Withdrawal#
After receiving MIRA, open the "Tokens" page in the backend. Under the $MIRA project, there are two buttons: "Convert to USDC" and "Conversion Tutorial". The conversion tutorial includes a video, just follow the instructions. Pay attention to a few points:
- Prepare some MATIC in your wallet in advance to pay for gas fees. If you don't have any, you can buy some directly from an exchange.
- On Uniswap, directly choose to convert MATIC to USDT.
- If you encounter any problems during the withdrawal process, you can email the official support team. They are very responsive in fixing and replying.
2. Depay Card Activation#
Go directly to Depay registration (including invitation, please don't click if you mind), and apply for a Mastercard. The specific fee levels are marked, you can choose accordingly.
After applying, you need to deposit $10 to activate the card. Click on "Wallet" -> "USDT" -> "Deposit". Here, I chose Polygon, so please make sure to select the correct network to avoid any loss of funds.
After obtaining the deposit address, go to your wallet and send the desired amount to that address.
- After sending, you can check the pending amount in Depay's wallet after about one or two minutes.
- It will be processed in about ten to fifteen minutes, and the deposit will be activated.
- When setting up Google Authenticator, there is no problem using the Google Authenticator app, but when using apps like Aegis, importing the QR code directly will result in an incorrect verification code. In this case, you can manually add the entry by copying the secret displayed on the screen. (It seems that there might be an issue with correctly handling the base32 of the secret. If you're interested, you can also try my developed Two-Factor Authentication App, although it also has this issue XD...)
3. OpenAI Card Binding#
Note, this is for the API, not ChatGPT Plus, they are different.
-
It is recommended to enable the global mode of the proxy tool and use a node with a real IP. Then open the browser in incognito mode.
-
Log in and visit the billing dashboard, and click on "Set up payment method".
-
With the global proxy enabled, check the location of your current IP. Here, I use ipip to check.
-
Generate a billing address for your current location. If it's in the United States, pay attention to the tax-free state issue. Here, I use a Japanese IP with the location set as Osaka. You can directly ask ChatGPT to handle the specific address for you, for example:
- Fill in the necessary information correctly. The postal code on the first line has input restrictions, so if you follow the image, enter 55600.
At this point, the binding is successful.
4. Others#
-
Some people have reported that the renewal fails after one month (Plus), while others have said that it can be resolved by re-payment. The specific situation is unknown and needs to be checked after one month...
-
The transaction fees generated by Depay are not low, so if there are better options available, it is not recommended to prioritize this solution.
-
As for the security issues... well, I choose to use and recharge as needed :)
