Pool registration on testnet

Hi all ,
i’m presently building my first pool on testnet , following Create Stakepool on Testnet - Love2Stake Docs and Guide: How to build a Cardano Stake Pool - CoinCashew as base and actually managed to register a pool and got to
cardano-cli query stake-snapshot --stake-pool-id $(cat …/cardano-my-node/stakepoolid.txt) --testnet-magic 1097911063
{
“poolStakeGo”: 0,
“activeStakeGo”: 14195111186333735,
“poolStakeMark”: 10001497223728,
“activeStakeMark”: 14393109639017331,
“poolStakeSet”: 0,
“activeStakeSet”: 14292624486035479
}
now the funny thing i dont explain is gLview puts me at epoch 139 , and when i look at pooltool testnet side it displays epoch 135 , obviously i’m not finding my pool , but what really puzzle me is the epoch difference , any input would be greatly appreciated

Hi Eric, I just got my pool on testnet as well and was wondering the same thing. my Epoch just hit 140 but https://pooltool.io says 135.

I am going to press on, just not sure if this is an indication of an issue with my network.

well if we’re both at 140 , and you say you just passed at 140 just as i did , i’d say the problem is pooltool side , dunno quiet very much a newb in all that

Hi!

here is the official explorer for testnet:
https://explorer.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io/en

Tkx! running off a bunch of hacks here , some official sounds good

i’m managing to trace my trasactions for the pledge and registration , but still not being listed ,last possibility is my metadata on git or the fact i use ip-v4-relay with a dhcp address , i need to set some ddns , not giving up , wish me luck

Hi!

What is the pool id?

get the info from ledger:

                        ]
                    }

So the metadata url should a valid address

NICE !!
i hadn’t got has much up to now , looking at duplicating my side but ;)))))))

i just prcessed 2 blocks !! i’m seriously amazed !! , tkx for being there man
image

processed 2 transactions but yes, that is a good sign that the node is in sync.
next is to fix the metadata info

like all the obvious retries on the registration ?

yes, the node is ready once it is listed on pooltool.io correctly.

any specific reason why pooltool is 5 epoch late ?

i’m actually thinking of retirering this pool and redoing a clean registration with a newly generated meta and metahash

yeah good question - but, pooltool is just a convenient way to verify the registration. but if you know what the registration should look like in ledger then that is ok as well - a harder way

from left to right relay1 relay2 and block producer , i saw up to 300 TX on relays last night but 0 on block producer , but this morning got 1 , i’m also starting to see foreign inbounds on my relays

the foreign inbounds is the block producer, I guess

no , i had my block prodcer coming in as that dmz fw public address , but i also had public ip from germany and states (i’m in Canada) as incomming , when i usually see them as outbound
