Hello, in January I decided to set up a pool, but I did not collect the necessary ADA to generate profits
I have decided to unregister the pool at epoch 336 through cntools.sh
I followed the steps and everything went ok.
in theory in epoch 338 they would give me back the 500 ADA, but this has not happened.
I have left the servers synchronized, but I have not received anything.
The pool was called: TENSE
The base address is: addr1qyrhm207wp9f68yr0c6l97qtny27jqdwyalr4sz602qduhad5qp48sa78z298y0llwt6309x38zlg02j6hgewp6zukkszu043l
that’s because the wallet is/was not delegated
so at the epoch transition, the ledger knows nothing about the stake key, because it has been previously de-registered, so the deposit, instead of going to the stake account, it has to go to the treasury. And it is lost forever and there is nothing we can do to help
the right order is:
create a de-registration certificate and submit to the network
wait till specified epoch and check for 500A (deposit) on stake account/address
if you received it withdraw the rewards
de-register the wallet
if it is necessary move the funds to another wallet.
Hello, thanks for the answer, I followed the steps from cntools.sh, it seems that when I unregistered the pool, I unregistered my wallet.
This means that I have lost my 500 ADA right?
And there is no way to get them back?
When the stake address has already been de-registered when a reward payout or a pool deposit refund is distributed, then the ADA goes back to the reserves (ie where future staking payouts come from).
