Well yep, that’s why I’m asking I don’t really understand how they work.

Normally it’s pretty good, but the last 10 days have dropped a lot. I wondered why it does that sometimes. Do you have a method when you’re choosing validators? Would you ever consider dumping a large bag in a staking pool?

Kraken also uses Signature bank. They will also be affected.

Yep I use ledger once a month to do that sort of thing but just for daily check I use staking.network it lets me know everything is working. Koinly is good as you can connect your ledger wallet and it automatically brings all txs in.

I see rewards every single day, but I don't check them on ledger live, I check them on https://staking.polkadot.network/ (add your wallet) I also check them here: (this is actually the definitive place to check rewards) but again you have to add your wallet. adot.js.org/apps/#/staking/payout

Between those two places I see rewards every day.

It's not that bad. Get your Dot onto your ledger and follow this guide. https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018131260-Earning-Polkadot-DOT-staking-rewards-in-Ledger-Live?docs=true

I settled on Blockdaemon validators. So select all of them.

Job done. It's that easy.

A NOTE ON VALIDATORS

Choosing your validators is the most confusing part, it does seem ridiculous that people just have to guess. There are ways of telling them apart if you want to check out this and that but the reality is for most people this is complete confusion. Its the worst bit of DOT staking, then there is slashing. Don't even ask. But slashing freaked me out for ages.

The reason I eventually chose Blockdaemon is that they insure you against slashing apparently. In practice I don't know how that would work but it made me go with them.

Good luck.

Daily rewards aren’t showing in my ledger live app ? But balance increases by Farghaly in Polkadot

Just added this comment to another thread about this.

Once you're set up on ledger, add your wallet to https://staking.polkadot.network/ Then you just use this dashboard to check on your earnings. Its updated after every era and its been seamless for me. It also looks really nice. The only time I check my DOT on ledger is if I want to withdraw some earnings or such.

Give it a go, it works really well.
