so here is the xp. i actually wanted to try to use Base, B3. I finally found an old metamask wallet, and somehow i had 22$ in it. It is 4 years old so it was probably nothing then. I connected the metamask and clicked to pay ETH. I learned i need to use a bride to swap Base eth to B3 eth (or something like that). But then i learned i need to Swap Eth to Base Eth. And it asked for 7$ of fees. And by the times shown, probably over 15 minutes to do all of that.

So i gave up and decided to use hive.

15 seconds later i got credits. (15 seconds because i actually looked what keychain wrote about transaction).

I clicked claim.

15 minutes later it is still Broadcasting request to B3 to mint.
