This is very similar the topic I made but I prefer to make another one, because the withdrawal was succeeded, now I’m having problems to send the rewards to my wallet address. I did similar things before sending native assets, but its the first time sending only ADA from one address to another, in this case a Daedallus address..

Node is running 1.27.0 and fully synced.

I’m pasting the commands I already tried using this guide from Cardano-node GitHub which supposedly to be correct…

I still don’t know what’s going on. Clear is about the values in the address not be corrected, still didn’t get it how to make the correct calculations.

Hi!

What is the output of

```auto
cardano-cli query utxo \
  --address $(cat payment.addr) \
  --mainnet

```
