As I understand it, in order to transfer/withdraw/exchange EOS, it must first be unstaked, after which it is held for 3 days temporarily in the 'net' status column, and is then automatically transferred to the EOS category.

If the way this is supposed to work, then can someone please explain why after I undelegated some EOS several weeks ago, it is still sitting in the "net" field and never moved automatically to the EOS field after 3 days had passed? Is there another step I have to make to make it transfer if it doesn't happen automatically? It has been stuck in the "NET" (3 day pending) category for something like 2 or 3 months now. Is there also a reason why this process must be done via eostoolkit.io and cannot simply be done via scatter?

Oh and I tried the refund fallback option as well, and got a failure message with this data...

{ "code": 500, "message": "Internal Service Error", "error": { "code": 3050003, "name": "eosio_assert_message_exception", "what": "eosio_assert_message assertion failure", "details": [ { "message": "assertion failure with message: refund request not found", "file": "wasm_interface.cpp", "line_number": 924, "method": "eosio_assert" }, { "message": "pending console output: ", "file": "apply_context.cpp", "line_number": 72, "method": "exec_one" } ] } }

Thank You

p.s It is wonderful that you allow people to post without having to open an account, thus removing one of the most irritating, exasperating, and oppressive barriers to free and open discussion on the internet. This feels like the exact kind of spirit we should have around open blockchain projects. Well done!

  • gy4dcmrrhage, i checked your account both currently ledger and refund table don't have any record of you undelegating the bandwith. Make sure you have properly undelegate bw, your EOS will be refunded after 3 days through deferred transaction. eosq.app/… Make sure you use the proper tool to undelegate bandwidth. EOSIO cannot give free account to users because it can lead to spamming and can jam the whole network and it's resources. b1 currently working on SSI to solve this problem and provide other features.

  • Thanks. My understanding was that funds that are in the 3 day waiting phase waiting for unstake completion always appear in the 'net' category and that is the only reason funds would ever appear there. Is this correct or are there other reasons why funds could be in that particular location? I have followed the instructions as per here... youtu.be/G6uaBhJvT68?t=136 . Is there a more official source for instructions and information as one seems hard to find. When you say EOSIO cannot give free account to users, is this why there is no undelegate/unstake function within Scatter? Thanks

  • Also, are the instructions in the unstake section of the video I referenced correct and include all the steps I need to take? Thank You

When you stake EOS, it is staked to CPU, NET, or both.

When you unstake EOS, it moves from CPU and/or NET to Unstaking.

After 3 days, it moves from Unstaking to Unstaked.

At this point, it should automatically be refunded to your account, but if it isn't you have to manually call the eosio::refund action to move the tokens from Unstaked to Liquid.
