exchanges go down all the time for various reason, nothing to speculate upon

was a matter of time ? they usually always self explode

You're not the one warned, not sure where you got that idea from

it is not on mainnet yet. It will be post upcoming Mary hard (upgrade) fork - no dates for ERC20 token converter have been released yet

it is up to 22%, many folks have said in reality their annual was less than blockchain staking...+ it does not help ecosystem at all..absolutely not recommended

it is not, and it (price/market cap/investment/speculations) certainly does not belong in this group ?

a wallet contains two types of funds: - regular funds that are used for usual transactions - rewards earned that go against static account address (unique per account) Rewards are limited in functionality (you cannot select and transact partially from rewards balance) both, transaction and rewards together form your delegation stake..withdraw allows you to move those rewards to payment addresses , as well as when you decide to stop staking (or using that wallet) -> it allows you to deregister your keys which returns you 2 ADA deposit that you paid when staking for the first time

If you're asking about relating personal info about humans affects exodus wallet, No.

No, update to protocol parameters was not automatically done at protocol level (there could be automated job to submit proposal every 5 days - but that'd be different and not sane to do in absence of someone to verify). Also, there was a slight jump couple of epochs ago to cater for some of the gap for decentralisation parameter decrease

yes , but it's not effective immediately

Pinned message for complete details

You cannot yet on Daedalus, but you can visit https://pooltool.io for example and use Track your Rewards button there (add *ANY* address from Daedalus receive tab to check rewards history)

the process is the same, your delegation (changed amount of funds) goes live at 2 epoch transitions - and you earn rewards at 4th epoch transition (thus, 15-20 days)

#rewards

Yoroi/ADALite/Daedalus, Atomic Wallet have started support - but its not yet on all platforms afaik

Users do not hold a real wallet on exchanges - exchanges hold multiple cold+hot wallets behind the scenes and link them to user funds. Binance does support shelley and you can withdraw to Shelley addresses fine ??

rewards earned are already compound, you dont need to withdraw them

yip ?

heaps (myself included)

yes

It is as safe as your device ?

Not in immediate future

Though there are others (eg: https://adalite.io is good if you use hardware wallets) https://cardano-community.github.io/support-faq/#/Wallets/list

hmm? No one lost anything...you will have access to your ITN rewards soon - with new Daedalus/Yoroi updates

You're replying to message which says you cannot ? (not using IOHK/Emurgo wallets atleast - for now)

The slot interval in byron era was fixed at 20s. In shelley era , the interval is reduced to 1s but with some randomisation for schedule to average out the odds closer to 20 seconds. In spite of most advertisements in the ecosystem, less interval time does not always mean better, not without the appropriate usage atleast

Yes - there is no change in the coin. Its just a network upgrade to much awaited decentralised era on more advanced consensus mechanism

For further information about the same, start at https://roadmap.cardano.org/ to familiarise yourself with phases of the project

Cardano was built ground up from scratch unlike counterparts, and initiated in Byron phase on a federated setup. Shelley (upcoming mainnet) marks decentralisation and upgrade to newer consensus mechanism

cardano was never a token

Yes - asking it differently wouldnt change the answer ? https://t.me/Cardano/300715

they will, but you need to wait for them to complete their upgrade - best to chase binance for timelines

There is no swap of tokens...not taking any actions while holding funds in a wallet is perfectly fine

"not your keys, not your crypto..." Safest bet would be Daedalus - as it will likely be the first wallet to provide support for staking , followed by Yoroi and others

Not enforced by protocol, but going above saturation point does reduces reward %

the contract is against work...the work will complete as part of existing contract - even if it goes beyond 2020...charles has addressed this multiple times

Yes , wait for app update to show up in store

Please compare using links here: https://cardano-community.github.io/support-faq/Wallets/list.html

Rewards - no Network - continues to not be paused until last block making node (from anyone) is stopped

There are no actions required until we migrate to Shelley mainnet - which is august. Even after the mainnet upgrade, you can still access your byron era wallets and import to shelley ones to stake There will be instructions closer to time.

it will - eventually, perhaps not on day 1 tho

Not sure, but have a feeling it wont be right at launch of mainnet, prolly weeks/months later - but just a guess , thats because I am assuming shelley wallets will have to be supported on ledger end too - and their release cycle could take a bit

yes - its fine (safer) to have funds on ledger based wallet including at mainnet update

but yeah..its testnet, and network currently on the testnet is unstable (there are reasons, bootstrap nodes being overloaded, faulty workarounds causing further commotion, forks, etc)

its because your local node running with Daedalus gets stuck (stops receiving updates) while the blockchain continues further. Usually closing and starting makes you bootstrap to newer state again

@JoshhM up now

waiting for him to get home to share details?
