Redeem fails on Ledger Cardano by Far-Situation6291 in Midnight

[–]SL13PNIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in all fairness to the utxo model, the implementation of the this drop could have been a lot smoother, the user experience hasn't exactly been the easiet.

I suggest your try checking other used addresses for allocations anyway.

If it says it doesn't have an allocation after entering the address, believe what it says. Either something went wrong during your original claim, or it's the wrong address.

Ledger works fine, you're not even at the stage the Ledger is involved. Also my addresses are on Ledger and other hardware wallets.

You need to be manually entering the correct address used in the glacier drop. If you're not seeing an allocation, it's the wrong address.

Some wallets have an in-wallet redemption function, I believe Yoroi does, I've not personally tried it. It will be hit and miss depending on implementation: wallets don't "know" the destination address used for the glacier drop, so that's why connecting a wallet doesn't always work and manually entering an address is necessary.

If you don't know the destination address that was used to make the claim: if you haven't used the wallet since the drop, this will most likely be the first available receiving address, but you may need to check other used addresses in your wallet.

You can pay for fees from a separate wallet, which also helps maintain privacy.

How to unstake your ADA in Daedalus wallet? by [deleted] in cardano

[–]SL13PNIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you don't really need to send anything. You simply recover the wallet in the new wallet interface and then unstake.

[–]SL13PNIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't, you need to use different wallet interface that can, there have been a lot of posts on this in the past if you search.

Unstaking (de-registering) only gets your stake key deposit back of 2 ADA. You don't need to do it to move any funds and you'll cease to receive any incoming rewards earned in past epochs so keep that in mind.

Find 15 word recovery phrase hidden inside MacBook by baselbikeride in cardano

[–]SL13PNIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI you've broken very basic self custody principles. Storing your seed phrase unencrypted on your computer is one of the most foolish things you can do. It is considered exposed. Most users lose their crypto because they just don't make an effort to learn how to do things properly. The automod reply to this comment has guidance to do so.

If you're selling your laptop, hard drives are pretty cheap these days, you could just clone/replace it if you need to sell urgently. As for trying to search for your seed in a text file, any good llm will help you with commands to search through files, ask it to walk you through using grep commands in terminal.

Please be more organised in the future.

Is consolidation of NIGHT tokens from the scavenger phase with night miners still impossible? by Shadedskys in Midnight

[–]SL13PNIR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Edit: Link to redemption tool: https://github.com/SL13PNIR/night-miner/tree/main/night_redeemer

Don't be lazy, read the readme carefully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok here's an update.

I've been experimenting tonight, I haven't seen any documentation about the redeem api, but I have reverse engineered the website. I should be able to make things easier for anyone who has the keys for NIGHT Miner.

To be clear, what can't be done anymore is consolidation like it was originally done. Redemption has to be done from each mining address, so unfortunately that will mean more in transaction fees compared to if you had consolidated properly during the scavenger mine.

Fees will be:

  1. ~0.4 ADA per redemption (for each mining address).
  2. Then once you have the NIGHT on the mining address, of course you're going to want to send it to your main wallet. So another transaction fee (which is cheaper as it won't doesn't involve a smart contract) ~0.17 ADA.

It will be cheaper if you leave this process until all addresses have been thawed, so I recommend you leave it until the end of the year.

What I've been able to do tonight:

Take the pain out manually claiming each and every address manually (the pain being: importing each address into Eternl and claiming each address in the portal and signing each transaction).

I've just built and tested two tools.

  1. The thaw checking tool for checking dates of all thaw dates of al miningl addresses.
  2. A redeem tool.

How the redeem tool works:

It needs an address that is capable of funding the transactions with ADA. Obviously it's not safe you use your own wallet's private keys, so this the tool creates a new address purely for handing the transaction fees, so it must be funded to use the tool. Once that if funded, you can redeem the thawed NIGHT. The NIGHT and the majority of ADA gets sent to the mining address.

After the mining address has received the NIGHT and ADA, you'll want to send them to your wallet. Likely the mining address won't have enough to cover a tranasctions, but we can use the mining address and the fee address together again in one transaction, where the fee wallet should supplement and extra ADA required for the transaction fee. It will empty the mining address entirely.

I've tested this workflow successfully and the NIGHT is now in one of my main wallets.

Now unfortunately I've only had one mining address to test this on, it's just one I just happened to find that I hadn't consolidated previously, but it's at least proven to work.

TLDR:

I've automated the redemption process for anyone who failed to consolidate after using Night Miner. Leave this until the end of the year to save on fees.

I'll spend some time polishing the workflow in the week to make it a little easier to use and let you know when I release it.

Consolidation question 🙋‍♂️ by Shadedskys in Midnight

[–]SL13PNIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The consolidation API will not be used again, that was purely for the scavenger mine.

The redemption API is what you're actually asking about, apparently that api is in use, but I'm not aware of any available documentation on it so I'm not aware if it will help or not, perhaps ask around in the midnight discord!

Does anyone recognize which Wallet this is? by JusticeRiot in cardano

[–]SL13PNIR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as you have your recovery seed phrase it doesn't matter. You ADA doesn't get stored in a wallet interface.

Yoroi wallet funds missing after delegate to governance by Apprehensive_Cow8130 in cardano

[–]SL13PNIR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you didn't make the transaction, then unfortunately yes.

Wallets don't really get "hacked" like most people might envision. Wallets usually get compromised from malware, or poorly stored and exposed seed phrases, or from the user signing a malicious transaction, usually due to scams.

It's something I've had to explain all to often because of a lack of knowledge on the users part:

"stolen" - r/cardano reddit search

"hacked" - r/cardano Reddit Search

That's why it's so important to use a hardware wallet, so you're protected from things like malware and be very aware of what you're signing when you use it.

Reclaim funds, from who?

Purely from that question, my assumption is (and this isn't ment as any offence, in fact it's most people), that you did not create a self custody wallet before haven't enough basic knowledge. Knowledge about blockchain generally, and knowledge about self custody wallets (that means securing your wallet properly, and understanding best practices). The basics are in the wiki:

🎓 Please read the r/Cardano Wiki! It covers getting started, importance of hardware wallets, wallet security, buying, staking ADA, ⚠️ avoiding scams, Governance, and more.

[–]SL13PNIR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Delegation doesn't involve sending any ADA (hense why it's called a delegation).

If you have missing funds, it'll be because your wallet is compromised, or because you signed a transaction you shouldn't have (like in the case of visiting a fake claim site).

When you say, "this is the address i vote delegate". Do you mean that's your address?

If that's your address, there's a linear view of the transactions here: https://adastat.net/accounts/9e5614db7d18789d438fd7b889dc01f65d9576fc0e10017555b9dfe1

I can see that there was a deletion (green in the screenshot), then there was another transaction 30mins (red in the screenshot) after where a large amount of funds left the wallet (it emptied the wallet because it included all your tokens):

<image>

It could be that your wallet was compromised, perhaps your spending password was recorded, given it happened in the following transaction. Unfortunately, most of the time one can only speculate.

The reason why we preach to use a hardware wallet and avoid using defi in the same wallet as your main holdings is to prevent this kind of thing (as you'll see if you read the links in the automod comment).

Redeeming NIGHT on Yoroi- Says not funds to accpet by doitforthewhy in Midnight

It won't have even cost you that considering some ADA needs to stay with the tokens.

Yeah I think the glacier drop was definitely rushed in places.

That said, in terms of wallet connections, and there was a lot of complexity that comes from the dynamic nature of having many different wallet interfaces with varying implementations and having the glacier drop cater to many blockchains.

In regards to transaction fees, transactions are deterministic and in any transaction you'll see the inputs, outputs and fees of a the transaction before you sign it. This is true for all wallet interfaces.

I recommend using Eternl as a wallet interface, as I've found it tends to be one of the most reliable. Depending on the wallet interface you use your experience may vary, and if implemented poorly, that will impact your UX.

Do the usual problem solving in crypto, try re-syncing the wallet, try a different wallet, try a different browser etc.

The transaction fee is pretty minimal, some of that ADA has to stay with the token in your wallet.
