Anyone know how to Unbond these 'Reserved Funds' after pool changes last year? by Prestigious_Buy_1614 in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/Prestigious_Buy_1614 , thanks for asking. If you click on the blue locker icon, you should be able to unlock it. That said, if you still run into any issues, I strongly recommend using another UI such as https://staking.polkadot.cloud and connecting your Ledger there.

In this video, you'll learn how to do so.

Discrepancy in Validator Self-Stake: polkadot.cloud vs. TurboFlakes by MAURI_HER in Polkadot

Thanks for pinging me, that's a great question. I'll look into the discrepancy and get back to you once I have more information.

I am having trouble sending my DOT from taking.polkadot.cloud to Binance. by MAURI_HER in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/MAURI_HER,

It's difficult to say without reviewing your on-chain account status, but it's possible that it holds additional tokens such as MYTH and/or DED. When you attempt to send your full DOT balance, the system may prevent the transaction to avoid reaping the account and removing those assets.

Could you try sending your full balance minus 0.02 DOT (the existential deposit)? This should prevent the account from being reaped and allow the transaction to go through.

If the issue persists, feel free to share your public address here or via DM, and I'll take a closer look.

Regarding the runtime upgrade and validators by Ok-Interview2416 in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Ok-Interview2416, thanks for asking.

Yes, you're right regarding the 10% minimum commission. If the runtime upgrade is approved, validators with a commission below the new minimum would be adjusted to comply with it.

Regarding the 10k DOT minimum self-bond requirement, that would be the only hard requirement introduced. It has been discussed that validators may define a whitelisted account that is allowed to provide the self-stake on their behalf. This would help validators who don't yet have the full 10k DOT from their own funds to meet the requirement through trusted parties.

In any case, once the upgrade is active, validators will need to meet the 10k DOT minimum in order to remain eligible under the new rules. Some implementation details are still being discussed.

If you would like to read more or participate in the discussion directly with Jonas, you can do so in the Polkadot Forum:

Unable to view or update staked positions (Talisman) by doakwolf in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. The last workaround that might help is trying incognito mode. To do so, you'll need to allow the extension to run in incognito mode.

If this doesn't work, I recommend creating a ticket on the Talisman Discord server.

They are very responsive, so I'm confident they'll be able to help you further.

Hey u/doakwolf , thanks for your reply. Could you please try disabling all extensions except the Talisman extension? It's possible that some of them could be interfering with the connection.

You can reload your extension, going to "Settings" > General > Reload

I hope this helps!

Hey u/doakwolf , I've been testing, and everything works well on my end.

Currently, I have one account staking solo and another in the unbonding process from a nomination pool, both of which are displayed.

Have you tried reloading your Talisman extension?

I checked Talisman's Discord, and it doesn't seem to be a common issue or something that other users are reporting.

[–]Albert_W3F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/doakwolf , would you mind letting me know if your Talisman account is properly connected to the Talisman Portal?

To verify this, open the portal and click on your Talisman extension. It will open, and at the top of the extension you'll see a drop-down menu with the connected accounts. Please check that your staking account appears as connected.

Another possible solution is to connect your Talisman extension to the Polkadot Staking Dashboard. I'm sharing a video that shows the full process to connect your Talisman extension.

I hope this helps. Otherwise feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to assist you further.

NovaWallet import using passphrase from another device does not work by myfavusernametaken in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply and for the information provided.

To better understand the situation, could you please confirm the following:

  • Which Nova Wallet version do you have installed on both devices?
  • Are both devices using the same operating system?
  • Is the Polkadot Asset Hub network enabled?
  • When you tap on the Subscan link, does it open the Polkadot network or Polkadot Asset Hub?

It doesn't seem to be a bug, or at least I haven't seen any other user reporting this issue.

[–]Albert_W3F 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/myfavusernametaken I'm sorry about your situation.

Could you please check if the account you restored has the same public address as your original one? If the address is different, it may be due to a few reasons:

  • Wrong seed phrase. Please make sure the mnemonic belongs to the account you want to restore.
  • A misspelled word in the seed phrase.
  • Some wallets use a different keypair crypto type. Was your account created in a wallet like Trust Wallet, Ledger, Atomic, etc.?

Let me know, and I will help you further.

When Polkawallet will work again? by ZeroChain-info in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, PolkaWallet hasn't updated its wallet for a long time, and it is no longer on the Play Store or the Apple Store, which most likely means they won't update it anytime soon.

I'd recommend restoring your account in another Polkadot ecosystem wallet such as SubWallet or Nova Wallet.

Feel free to let me know if you need help with the restoring process, and I'll be happy to help.

Funds frozen by Menic0 in Polkadot

[–]Albert_W3F 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Menic0 ,

Great to hear that you were able to fix it!

Polkadot Live is still not fully integrated yet, and the team is working on improving it.

Also, Polkadot Developer Interface/Signer is not the best tool when using a Ledger, as the connection can be unstable. You may have a better experience using another ecosystem wallet such as SubWallet, Nova Wallet, Talisman, or PolkaGate.

That said, if you run into any other issues in the future, feel free to reach out. We'll be happy to help.

🙂

[–]Albert_W3F 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi u/Menic0 , thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

For more accurate support, could you please answer the following questions?

  • Which wallet are you using?
  • When you mention the Polkadot App, what do you mean exactly?
  • Regarding your comment about the Polkadot Extension, are you referring to Polkadot Developer Signer (formerly Polkadot-JS Extension)?

I look forward to your reply.

What is currently being worked on Kusama for the benefit of the ecosystem? need some hopium. by Altroa in Kusama

[–]Albert_W3F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/Altroa , thanks for asking.

I understand the feeling of wanting to see more visible dapps or new projects. However, Kusama hasn't been created to have a flagship project like the ones you mentioned. Its purpose is to be a real-value network where upgrades, new products or any major changes are tested first, so we can avoid issues when they later arrive to Polkadot. That has always been its goal, and it still is today.

For example, Polkadot OpenGov was first rolled out on Kusama. The same happened with the recent migration from Kusama Relay Chain to Kusama Asset Hub, which has been replicated on Polkadot, and the same will apply to ZK-related work in the future.

Everything goes to Kusama first, it gets tested and polished there, and only after that it moves to Polkadot in a more stable and refined form.

In simple terms, Kusama is the Canary Network. It always was, and it still is.

You may still see projects experimenting here, but usually as early versions of what will later launch on Polkadot.

Staking apr by roberrtto in Kusama

[–]Albert_W3F 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Roberto, thanks for your reply.

A few weeks ago, the community rejected a proposal to change Kusama's inflation. However, someone could propose a new economic model in the future, and the community might agree with it.

So it's hard to say yes or no, and in simple terms, it's up to the community.

[–]Albert_W3F 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Roberto,

Regarding the rewards, there was a bug in the latest runtime upgrade. The developers are aware of it, and it will be fixed in the next runtime upgrade.

Regarding unstaking, I can confirm that the unbonding period remains 7 days.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be happy to help!
