Unstaking my SPT tokens from my alt account ready for the SPS airdrop

avatar

I've got 560K SPT tokens staked to my alt account @revise.spt - I quite enjoy writing about Splinterlands so I've vested a little bit in the token over the last few months.

I was sitting pretty, feeling all warm and cosy about getting a nice SPS drop to those tokens until I realised today that none of those 560K tokens qualify because I don't play Splinterlands on my alt account!

That's because I never played the game on my alt, so I haven't 'activated' the account - and I'd need to pay $10 for the privilege by buying the Spell Book.

Rather than paying that $10 I decided to unstake all my SPT tokens from @revise.spt - I'll send them all to @revisesociology the account which I do play Splinterlands on and then just delegate them back to my alt.

It'll take four weeks to PowerDown, so I'll miss out on three weeks of SPS token drops at full SPT power (the drop starts in July sometime, so maybe only two weeks), but I can't imagine I'll be losing more than $10 worth of SPS tokens in that time from half my stake not being staked for two weeks out of 52 weeks.

Yes, the drop goes on for an entire year!

So that's a lot of tokens we'll be receiving!

And I don't lose out on too many curation rewards in the meantime... Only 25% effectively, because I can POWER UP Revise and delegate as i go.....

That's smart. I've been wondering whether I should consolidate my alts and get my spare cards in one place ready to delegate or rent out. But I've been wondering about that for a while now. I guess it's pretty low down my list.

I'm focussing more on sorting out the crypto side of things right now.

It can take a lot of time sorting out all things crypto - you've got a whole year for drop!

It certainly does. I spent over an hour trying to get approved on Binance today and gave up in the end.

I'll try again in the morning and hopefully the light will be better. I hate all these photo match things it's so hard to get them to work.

Yeah. Nice isn't it? Plenty of time to move stuff around and adjust.

Just keep stacking, you are getting there. I started with a 100k airdrop and kept building to 3.3 million. And I still keep buidling.

Look on the bright side, at least you realized the consequence of the non activated account before the airdrop started. It would of been much more painful to realize the consequence on airdrop day.

True,

Mind you with a 365 day drop I don't think missing out on even a month or two would make a great deal of difference!

It's probably worth paying $10 for your stake, not for mine I don't think!

NB - it's a bit of a guess, no one got back to me in tech support when I asked, but it does say on the site 'buy a spell book to be able to own assets etc'. and someone else I've been chatting to is certain you have to activate to get the drop!

Now when I think about it, tokens are on my account and delegated to the alt.... the owner account is activated...

I wasn't aware of the spellbook being a mandatory factor for the airdrop. Good to know.

I'm guessing a bit as no one got back to my query in tech support, but that seems to make sense!
