Today I encountered a truly amusing and frustrating situation.

During the qualification review for an NFT event, I clearly registered with the main wallet, but it surprisingly showed that I did not meet the criteria. Even more outrageous, my NFT credential was simply gone. I was quite confident about this, having checked the minting record at the time, so there shouldn't have been any issues.

I was a bit panicked at that moment, first suspecting that my wallet had been hacked. I quickly asked for help to investigate, and only then did I discover—there was no such NFT in the main wallet at all. Digging deeper, I realized what was going on: this NFT had actually been minted to an old wallet I hadn't used in a long time.

It turns out I mixed up my addresses. The qualification review was stuck on this point, and naturally, the NFT wasn't in the main wallet. This lesson tells me that when doing DeFi and NFT operations, you need to manage multiple wallets carefully, or you'll eventually run into trouble.

Haha, this riddle's answer is too clever, scaring myself a bit I was wondering how it disappeared inexplicably, turns out it was just gathering dust at that old address This has taught me a lesson: having too many wallets can really easily cause chaos

Haha, laughing to death. Forgetting your wallet address is really next level.

Haha, I've also done stupid things like this before. A bunch of wallet addresses really easily get mixed up. That's why I now use labels to keep track, or else I'll definitely mess up sooner or later.

Haha, this is just ridiculous. I've also done such stupid things. I've also mixed, and managing this kind of wallet really requires attention. To be honest, using multiple wallets makes it easier to run into problems. I suggest making a spreadsheet to keep track. Isn't this just a classic case of digging your own grave? Haha. The most annoying thing is dropping the ball at critical moments. Just remember the location next time, and it'll be fine.

Haha, this is ridiculous. Playing with oneself. I've done it too. Managing multiple wallets is really a nightmare; the more addresses there are, the more confusing it gets. Next time, I need to make a spreadsheet to keep track, or else it feels like a lost and found every time.
