Hi Folks, I sent 10K ADA to Payment.addr. It is there … However, I want this to show as ‘Active Pledge’ on Cardanboscan, but ‘Active Pledge’ continues to display as 0. When I check the ‘pool updates’ tab and total output, I see my 10K ADA funds there. What do I do to make ‘Active Pledge’ display my funds? Thnk you ---

Did you use the coincashew guide? I have seen several people on here with the same issue, and it seems like maybe they are missing a step. I am having the same issue. I was working with Alex previously, but now he is out until Monday. We have gone through the following steps so far: Re-registering take pool, resending the stake.cert, and so far, nothing new has happened. The payment.addr shows 4k$ADA, but the stake.addr shows no funds and my pool still shows “Delegation not met”. VTRN Pool. ---

Yes, I’m generally following the coin Cashew guide. I started with the de Lara videos, and the official guide which I think is off-line this morning, and Coin Cashew. There is something subtle about building the payment.addr file. I think there is a chance that I may have two different payment.addr keys and that would cause an issue. I’ll be offline for 12 hours. I’ll let you know if I find something tomorrow morning. Best ---

I just found something … One of the guides had me make file called ‘paymentwithstake.addr’. I am not currently using this with coin Cashew. the address is much longer na dI feel like it is a combination of the payment.addr and stake.addr. Best ---

Are you running 1.27.0 ? ---

So what you can confirm is that generate the payment.addr from the keys ```auto cardano-cli address build \ --payment-verification-key-file payment.vkey \ --stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey \ --out-file payment.addr \ --mainnet ``` and be sure that stake.vkey is `678b50d901740da7eac9bbe8a4af990240c16b514dfc9994d7a6c061 ` what you provided as pool owner address do you get the same payment.addr as you have already? ---

Stake.vkey is wrong … I have 5820466633773217ab6c537e02d21c946cbb86d84083b59e2515bd4c24ef77552bfc ---

ok so probably you gave a wrong stake.vkey during pool registration ` --pool-owner-stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey` and `--pool-reward-account-verification-key-file stake.vkey` that is the command: ```auto cardano-cli stake-pool registration-certificate \ --cold-verification-key-file cold.vkey \ --vrf-verification-key-file vrf.vkey \ --pool-pledge \ --pool-cost \ --pool-margin \ --pool-reward-account-verification-key-file stake.vkey \ --pool-owner-stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey \ --mainnet \ --pool-relay-ipv4 \ --pool-relay-port \ --single-host-pool-relay STRING \ --metadata-url https://git.io/JJWdJ \ --metadata-hash \ --out-file pool-registration.cert ``` ---

Ok, I see that I DO NOT have the proper stake.vkey in my folders. I overwrote it a few days ago and continued to use the wrong stake.vkey. If I make my own stake.vkey with the correct hash, will the date-time stamp of the new file be an issue? Thank you ---

sorry - inside stake.vkey you get the address in another format… so might be ok - what you can do is to generate the payment.addr again and compare it with existing one ---

@vetstakepool could you verify the same? generate the payment.addr again with the stake.vkey used as owner address during registration. ```auto cardano-cli address build \ --payment-verification-key-file payment.vkey \ --stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey \ --out-file payment.addr \ --mainnet ``` Do you get the same payment.addr what you used in the registration process? ---

hmm - I will also generate it… maybe you will get different payment.addr each time… but the question still can you query the balance with the new address? ---
