So as part of my routine check on the staking pool, I came across something unusual, or at least that’s how it looks to me. Pool ticker is CRS.
If you look at the rewards section at e355, the number of minted blocks dropped massively to only 1 block, then for e356 it shows 0/13.2.
Am I just being unlucky, or is there something wrong here? Last thing I’ve done on the BB was to rotate the KES keys, and they are still fresh valid until November.
Do you run leaderlogs to see if you were supposed to get blocks that you missed?
Would help in determining if bad luck or something wrong.
Also, I see you skipped the update to 1.34.1, which is okay, I think. But keep an eye on, when you have to update to 1.35.x or it will stop working on the Vasil hard fork.
EDIT: Oh, I see ”Leader: 32“ there. You should have gotten way more blocks. Something’s off. Do your relays have incoming connections?
I think you might be right, because when I was checked the journal a few hours ago (After upgrading to 1.35.3), it said that the KES keys does not match the key in the certificate or something like that. I checked my kes.vkey and it appears that I forgot to copy it to my air-gapped machine when I issued the certificate. So once my BB finishes syncing, I should be able to double check everything again.
Relays cannot be reached because I overwritten the topology files and they were invalid for some hours, but I fixed that now and when the topology updater works, they should be listed again.
The issue about this whole thing, is that upgrading or doing anything with the nodes is messy. Lots of resources filled with inaccurate or outdated information, and I pretty much spent the whole day trying to figure this out and upgrade properly.
