Hi,

Im trying to build my own cardano Stake pool using the Coincashew guide, and im at the point where it says “Registering your stake pool”, and when trying to launch the

```auto
cardano-cli transaction submit \
    --tx-file tx.signed \
    --mainnet

```

Im getting the following error:  
Command failed: transaction submit Error: Error while submitting tx: ShelleyTxValidationError ShelleyBasedEraAlonzo (ApplyTxError [UtxowFailure (WrappedShelleyEraFailure (UtxoFailure (OutputTooSmallUTxO [(Addr Mainnet (KeyHashObj (KeyHash “0d13a1666ff1ea17a2052213eb370a3b218fc01942067ed3df3b53f7”)) (StakeRefBase (KeyHashObj (KeyHash “d5a152e8425ef701881e4f2b5b002657aff1a58ac45845758975a474”))),Value 614966 (fromList ),SNothing)])))])

Can anyone help me out please?

Hi,

You are right about the amount of ADA needed to register the pool. What is nott clear on the guide (which i think it should be added) is that you will need 500 + 2 + fee costs being a total of around 505 ADA(bit lower in reality).

My issue is resoved, thanks

</div>

Now that i got you here, how long does it take for the Ada stake pool to show up? i completed the guide, but the comand

cardano-cli query stake-snapshot --stake-pool-id $(cat stakepoolid.txt) --mainnet

Is not returning anything, not even the prompt.

yES! IT SHOWS UP! thanks a lot man.

One last question, if i were to change the margin %, is it alright just to amend the line:

–pool-margin 0.15 \

on the block producer node, or should i do the hole thing again on the air-grapped machine?

mmm weird… I rebooted the server, and now it is taking ages to “sync” when it is fully synced…

Normally it takes some time, but the use of CPU and MEM is high… mem is super low right now…

Check on glive if MEM (RSS) is slowying increasing  
also type `journalctl -e -f -u cardano-node` and check for errors

can u share glive again? If Mem RSS not increasing then apply the steps:

1. cd db folder
2. `ls -l` (here u should see more files and 3 folders)
3. `sudo systemctl stop cardano-node`
4. `mv ledger ledger_bkp`  
`mv immutable immutable_bkp`  
`mv volatile volatile_bkp`
5. `ls - l`
6. `sudo systemctl start cardano-node`
7. after 10 -15 seconds type `sudo systemctl stop cardano-node`
8. `ls -l` (now u should have the bkp files and also the new files)
9. delete the new files (not the bkp-ed ones)  
`rm -R ledger`  
`rm -R immutable`  
`rm -R volatile`
10. `ls -l` (now u should have the old files only)
11. rename back the old files  
`mv ledger_bkp ledger`  
`mv immutable_bkp immutable`  
`mv volatile_bkp volatile`
12. `ls -l`
13. start the node and check glive  
`sudo systemctl start cardano-node`

Nope, sometimes it happens (very seldom) and u will need to repeat the steps provided
