Hey @Linnovations!
I think there is an issue with my virtual node as I have not received any rewards for 3 days now and hence I want to un-stake and then re-stake later.
Rewards are based on a random selection so there is a chance that the Vnode has not received rewards for 3 days, Jamie made a nice post to explain this a bit further The Algorithm of Probability for Node Selection
When I go to the app and click on “Power - Run a Node” I am greeted with a screen that shows my virtual node having a balance of “0” PRV.
I then click on “Unstake” and it says “Balance: 7.8781 PRV”. I’m confused which balance is correct?
Hmm thats rather odd, most reward cycles for a vnode are a bit higher, what version of the app are you running? Try restarting your app or your phone and see if that fixes it or if there is an update to install.
Also, on the unstaking screen it states:
“Unstaking will complete after the next time you earn.”
I’m scared proceeding because what happens if I unstake, will my node disappears from the app?
That is correct the unstaking process happens after the next time you earn. I dont think your node disappears from the app even when its fully unstaked (unstaked and you earned on the next cycle)
I am worried that my staked 1750 PRV will be lost in limbo and unable to be retrieved.
Can anyone assure me this will not happen?
Will I have any recourse as I don’t want to lose my staked amount?
Your tokens will not be lost in limbo, the stake of a node is tied to your validator key. it is locked on chain. as long as you have the private key for that account, your coins cant be lost, even when unstaking/withdrawing goes south.
