Ask HN: Is your IBM Quantum Computing account also blocked?

3 pointsby piotrkealmost 2 years ago
Shortly after creating a new account, it was blocked. I contacted IBMid Support but they couldn&#x27;t help, I contacted Quantum Team Support, where I got this link: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ibm.biz&#x2F;BdfaME (Disabled Account Appeals, goes to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;airtable.com&#x2F;shrSlrmHASV8wkVZY) but that did not help either.<p>At the moment there are two events happening in Qiskit&#x2F;IBM Quantum Computing world: &quot;Quantum Explorers&quot; and https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qisk.it&#x2F;quantum-explorers and &quot;Qiskit Global Summer School 2023&quot;, and this is basically why I create the account for in the first place. On one hand, I see I got assigned to a group and a project and, on the other, I can&#x27;t even log in.<p>On this site: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibm.com&#x2F;quantum&#x2F;access-plans IBM promotes the Open Plan as the Best for Educators, new learners, and developers who do not need to execute larger workloads.<p>I am a new learner and a developer, so I felt warmly invited. And then the face slap.<p>I am not related to any organization (like university or research institute) and I used my private email address (I own the domain). Just wanted to learn new skills in a funny but organized way.<p>I searched the Internet and it seems to be a bigger issue that just my case.<p>Did you have the same issue? Did you solve it and got your access back?

it&#x27;s IBM, give up, they are unlikely to care or help sorry.. they are too big to be able to resolve such issues with their own platforms..
