Hi, I recently sent 2500 ada to the address in the promo for doubling ada. I didn’t get any doubling. I checked with my coinbase account and changed a setting to allow receiving. I then resent 2500 ada and that has now been taken without any receiving of ada so now im down 2500 ada. It says you should get the doubling iinstantly, is anyone able to help with this? Have I done something wrong? ---
