I have this issue with cntools-funds-send. What’s your thought?

the network is congested… try this way:

  • perform the transaction in hybrid mode not online… then start cntools offline and sign the transaction, then start the cntools online (normal) and submit the transaction… this way should work

I did it, now lets see if it goes well.

may I ask you way it should work in this way?

4

It work!
Alex you are great, thx again.

5

You are welcome, this way it will just submit the transaction on blockchain and it will not verify anything as long u signed the transaction before

6

Ok I understand now.

This is what Alex suggested and it works great:

try to create the transaction in hybrid mode… then start the cntools in offline mode (./cntools.sh -o) and sign the transaction… then start the cntools normally and submit the transaction

What if this is the message received if you try to retire the pool?

9

try to follow the WA provided above

10

So I’m not sure I understand the workaround for retiring the pool and if this is different enough I can start a new thread; let me know.

If I use CNTools to retire a pool, I receive the exact message as @Criss_Crisbul “WARN: Balance mismatch, transaction not included in latest block… waiting for next block!”

So if I back out now it seems like selecting retire > hybrid > “WARN: No pools available that can be selected”

11

ok, what is the ticker? perhaps the transaction already sent to the blockchain

12

it was [CALY]

13

ok, it looks like u retired the pool in cntools the pool.cert was deleted/replaced… now u must wait for the transaction to be send to the blockchain… or if u have a backup of the file (pool.cert) copy back on server and try with offline/hybrid mode… thanks.

14

Is there a risk of waiting and the transaction never being sent? What if the designated next retire epoch passes and still no successful transaction?

15

do u have the old pool.cert file?

16

I might, it would be under /opt/cardano/cnode/priv/
or could it be some place else? from backups?

17

under priv/pool/…/

18

I don’t think so. I can find the following:
cold.counter
cold.skey
cold.vkey
hot.skey
hot.vkey
kes.start
op.cert
pool.config
pool.dereg
pool.id
pool.id-bench32
poolmta.json
vrf.skey
vrf.vkey

19

This is because u already created the deregistration certificate

we can create another pool.cert and then try offline… wait 5 min to give u the commands

go to pool folder (priv/pool/…/)

And type (replace FOLDER_NAME and WALLET_FOLDER_NAME)


cardano-cli stake-pool registration-certificate \
    --cold-verification-key-file /opt/cardano/cnode/priv/pool/POOL_FOLDER_NAME/cold.vkey \
    --vrf-verification-key-file /opt/cardano/cnode/priv/pool/POOL_FOLDER_NAME/vrf.vkey \
    --pool-pledge 720000000 \
    --pool-cost 340000000 \
    --pool-margin 0 \
    --pool-reward-account-verification-key-file /opt/cardano/cnode/priv/wallet/WALLET_FOLDER_NAME/stake.vkey \
    --pool-owner-stake-verification-key-file /opt/cardano/cnode/priv/wallet/WALLET_FOLDER_NAME/stake.vkey \
    --mainnet \
    --single-host-pool-relay 207.244.248.254 \
    --pool-relay-port 6000 \

    --metadata-hash 61f46eb9b1aa7af834edcb1adacdb5a081c9598ee42fa8009181eeeca3b2bf06 \
    --out-file pool.cert

Alright, done. I’ve got the pool.cert file under opt/cardano/cnode/priv/pool/…

But now I’m a bit nervous going back to CNTools to retire… Should I try using Hybrid or you saying I should try Offline?
