Not even the producer? U can copy from my relay if u want… wanna try the teams meeting?

1506

Sure. The node starting syncing when I killed the db. We can try a Teams Meeting. How do we set that up?

Hi…

I am creating a Wallet via cntools which will be for the stake pool registration fee and also to transact some pool changes over time (2 ADA per transaction).

And I’m importing a Daedalus wallet that will be the pledge wallet.

Is it coherent that way? My question is which wallet will I receive the rewards in? Will it be in Daedalus’s imported pledge portfolio or will it be in the fee portfolio?

Are the .COLD files from this wallet I created in CNTOOLS for rates or are the .COLD files from the Stake Pool creation?

Thanks.

You can use for rewards which wallet u will wish… CLI wallet or imported one

Are the .COLD files from this wallet I created in CNTOOLS for rates or are the .COLD files from the Stake Pool creation?

the wallet files should be located in priv/wallet folder and the pool files in priv/pool folder

do not keep the file unencrypted … first make a bkp for the files before to encrypt (in case u will forget the encryption/decryption password) and then u can encrypt the files from cntools (use a strong password)

Hi…

Sorry if the image gets too small.

In item 1, is it the producer’s IP or are they the Relays’ IPs?

In item 2 I understood that it was to inform the pledge wallet but I thought that later I could inform another wallet just for the Pool registration fees, but that was not what happened, in the end the Pool + wallet registration Rewards remained the same, as in items 3 and 4.

Are pool registration and pledge the same?

Thanks.

Item 1 - the relays IP and Relays port
Item 2 - the pool wallet (for pool transactions +/or the pool rewards)
Item 3 - u used same wallet as Item 1 u can specify another wallet
Item 4 - that’s because u selected N when it asked if u use another wallet for rewards

PS: between Item 2 and 3 it asked you if u want to register another wallet for pledge… and u chose N. Because of this u have only one wallet used as a main wallet + rewards

ok… Thanks… I got it… :laughing:

1513

Now it’s correct right?

should be fine now, what is the ticker? you can check on pooltool.io the rewards/pledge wallets

1515

It’s only on testnet… pltk ticker

1516

ok, and you are talking for ADA for test right?

1517

Ah, now I saw that there is testnet on pooltool.io too… but my ticket still doesn’t show up there.

Yes. I’m just on testnet for now.

1518

aa ok, so you are not using real ADA… if you go to cntools - wallet the address are starting with test… right? ok, ok

1519

That’s right… for now only ADA Faucet… I posted the IPs of the servers in the image because later I will cancel these VPS and I will hire new ones…

1520

no problem, as long you will register the IPs will be public… you should not show the Producer IP

Alex, Hi…

Another question that arose. Fixed Cost (340 ADA) + Margin + Rewards payment are all paid in my Reward Wallet whose name and address start is this reward.addr (stake_) or are paid in this payment.addr (addr_).

Tks…

1522

Will be paid as a rewards → stake address

Hey there,
i got a problem with sync of one of my nodes. I have 3 server. 2 VPS for the relays and 1 local server for the BP.
I done this guide until the sync section and it worked fine for 1 relay and the bp. bp already synced and the relay is at 10% after 20hrs (any chance to fast this up? or is it vps problem?)

But the second relay does not want to sync at all. in the topologyUpdater i just changed the port.
in the topology.json i get this msg “IP is not (yet) allowed to fetch this list”

Greetings
Ben

try to copy the db from the BP if it is already synced, will be much fuster

But the second relay does not want to sync at all. in the topologyUpdater i just changed the port.
in the topology.json i get this msg “IP is not (yet) allowed to fetch this list”

same, you can copy the db folder from BP if it is already synced
but, you shouldn’t run topology updater and you must keep the IOHK nodes inside the topology file till the nodes will be 100% synced

to copy the db from BP:

  • go to the relay to db folder (cd /opt/cardano/cnode/db)
  • connect to BP via sftp: sftp -P xxxx user@BP_IP (xxxx is the ssh port of the BP)
  • now you should be connected on BP, navigate to db folder (cd /opt/cardano/cnode/db)
  • ls -l
  • copy the immutable, ledger and volatile folders (for immutable it will take more time ~40 min … depending of the INTERNET speed)
  • use get -R immutable wait till will finish then get -R volatile and finally get -R ledger

PS: you can do this operation for both relay same time
