Hello @EhsanA12345,

It is not uncommon to go 2 weeks without earning, but you may end up having a few days or weeks of higher than average earning sometime in the future. There are a couple of other ways to test your node, if you search the community posts. {Update: thanks @Mike_Wagner for pointing out the correction}.

This chart shows the probability of a node getting selected for earning, and although this is dated - it still serves as a very good example. If you’ve gone over 2 weeks, you’re likely to be selected soon, but the longest no-earning streak has been about 29 days I believe. Hang in there, your reward will come! :slight_smile:

The key is to let the node run and do its thing. If your goal is to host the node for a few years, you shouldn’t be worried about the daily or weekly variations. If you’re looking to test for a short duration and make a quick buck, I can understand but I’d suggest looking at the longer term view of this project.

@EhsanA12345 if you would like to check the status of your node, recommend using one of the community tools:

Any of these tools can help you verify your Node is online and part of the Incognito chain.

Thanks, @Mike_Wagner - I updated my post to remove the incorrect information. :+1:

I hear that but is been over four weeks for me without being selected. There should definitely be a way to exit when the validator chooses to. I get the random selection. But there should be a random selection based on last reward so that your chances of receiving a reward increase as time goes on. In fact I think it’s going on two months now since the last reward. I’m feeling ripped off at this point and just want my tokens back. I could have just provided liquidity and done better than this. Staking could actually be earning more in my situation.

I wanted to support the network but the network needs to support me as well.

@Alreadygreat - I’m sorry to hear about your frustration. Just to clarify, are you telling me that you’ve started staking on your node and haven’t earned a reward for 2 months? There may be something else going on with your node. Is this is a vnode or a pnode? Also, I saw one of my vnodes earn after some 32 days (almost 5 weeks). If you don’t want to play the waiting/random selection game, you’re probably better off using the provider/staking option and earn the 37% APY reward, which comes with more certainty. Good luck!

I love the node watcher, easy to pop in a couple times a day to make sure my node is still working as it should.
