any WeChat or QQ users out there?

Post by dohduhdah »

Hi!
Since I like to play go on the Fox mobile app, I'm looking for someone who has been using
WeChat or QQ for a while, so they can help me get a WeChat or QQ account by scanning a QR code.

If you just use a default account on the Fox mobile go app, they block access for two weeks
every 3 games or so and this is very annoying. Supposedly if you log in using a WeChat (or QQ)
account, you don't have this issue.

If someone can help me out activating my WeChat or QQ account that would be great.

I also play on other mobile clients (like Tygem, WBaduk and IGS), but it seems on Fox it's usually
easiest to find a game and it seems every server has their pros and cons. For instance
I really dislike the forced ads on Tygem and on WBaduk it's a hassle to get game records from my mobile
device to my computer for a KaTrain review (I use a separate WBaduk account for this to observe the
game on the PC).

greetings, Niek

Well, first QQ was working for a few days and then suddenly for no apparent reason they blocked
access and they say I must activate the account again involving another QQ user who is willing
to scan a QR-code.
It's the same for wechat, but with wechat it immediately required another wechat user to scan
a QR-code to activate the account.

These QR-codes tend to expire rather quickly, but if you would be willing to scan one you can just
let me know when you have time and I will try to ensure I share the QR-code here or via Fox server
chat whenever it's convenient for you.

In China, both wechat and QQ involve online payment, especially wechat payment. Therefore, your request will be embarrassing.

It seems wechat and QQ are also used outside of China and as far as I know it's basically a free app even though perhaps it also features some paid services. Just like skype is free both to register and to send messages to other skype users, even though if you want to use it for voice calls or sms messages to mobile phones you would pay for that.
