Hello there, I’ve just completed the step where I have created a .json file with my stake pool’s information on github. I am trying to calculate the hash of my metadata file but am receiving this error: "Error: Error validating stake pool metadata: Error in $: ‘,’ or ‘}’: Failed reading: satisfy: Does anyone know what this error is indicating and what I need to solve this issue? Thank you everyone for your time! ![Json Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/0/f/0f011172978c2c499baaa351b914b32014c96846.png) PS: I read through a thread with a similar question but I could not find the solution.

Thank you Alex. I tried the json and it still wouldn’t work. It turns out that edditing a json file on a mac gets screwed up. I tired the process on an Ubuntu machine and it worked. Please delegate to my pool when its built, ticker is going to be ONLYC. Thank you. ---

hi, can you please help me with my metadata. On a last step of creating pool I have this. Metadata HASH Check, fetching the MetaData JSON file from [https://urlr.me/6CnYm:](https://urlr.me/6CnYm:) Command failed: stake-pool metadata-hash Error: Error validating stake pool metadata: Stake pool metadata must consist of at most 512 bytes, but it consists of 157113 bytes. I been trying to create stakepool before but had issues and now I understand that it plays a joke on me. Do you know how can I resolve it? ---

The file is not correct U have to many inputs there… did u see my metadata? Should be exactly like mine (ofcourse change the details)… then submit a new certificat but use raw url (the url should have a maximum of 64 characters) [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skilain/PureVain/main/PureVain.pool.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skilain/PureVain/main/PureVain.pool.json) Check my guide how to setup a pool (u will find the steps there) ---
