Another question,

How can I close a pool and withdraw its balance?

I created 2 pools, and then decided to change the configuration. Tried to withdraw from them but it was not successful. I tried to delete them, and they did. But the balance is still in there.

Not a big amount, but I just want to learn. Is there any way I can withdarw them?

Hey, I come across this site:
ton . events
which looks like to be a phishing site. I was in the TON contests and it must have found my and others' address there. It airdropped me a very small amount. Links and UI is similar to ton.org, and it has an event which says you may win 1 to 100 TON. Clicking on it opens wallet . ton . event which is a clone of wallet.ton.org.

Be ware, must be a phishing site.

It sent me 0.0000001 TON and burnt 0.000029195 TON as fee! and deducted my balance 🤨

Not exactly sure how the edge conditions work in nominators, for example what happens if you delete the pools when there’s money inside

In general when you refer to delete the pool / contract you mean by
destorying the contract using mode 32 ?

after checking the readme , and the code breifly

the nominator pool contract can not be destoryed ,
any withdraw op validates that the contract will have at least 10TON left.

So Im not sure there is a way to destory the contract …

and any role can call recover_stake ( not only the validator)

I've deleted them with delete_pool command in mytonctrl.

So, that 10 TON that you said is checked must be the reason, because it was less than that and I wanted to clean up blockchain 😁

in order to test nominator pool properly ,

you probably need to go testnet, and acquire enough ton to particpate in the election …
election period is about 18 hours …

so you need to setup everything in order to test a nominator pool


in the other hand, if you looking to stake your ton coins, you can particpate as a nominator in an existing nominator pool
