Ampleforth Geyser - why can't I stake?

@potta 19 January 2021 more from that month

I am trying to stake my Ampleforth using Geyser using the following link https://www.ampleforth.org/geyser/oldfaithfulV1-balancer-ampl-usdc As you can see below, I do have some AMPL in my Ethereum wallet but once I integrate with MetaMask, the page says I have 0 balance even though my MetaMask shows I have some AMPL tokens.

What am I doing wrong?

You have no ETH to pay the gas/tx fees. You need ETH to pay for the TX fee. Then type the amount of AMPL in the box on the website and click the deposit button. The tx fees will probably be high though, so it's reallly not worth it imo.

  But it says no balance. It’s not showing my AMPL there.

    Refresh the page. and screenshot without metamask in the way. I cant see what the rest of the page says.

    I see now. It's because the token is BAL-REBASING-SMART-V1-AMPL-USDC. It's an AMPL/USDC liquidity token. The geyser isnt for the standard AMPL, thats just what it pays out in. You have to get that token here: https://pools.balancer.exchange/#/pool/0x7860E28ebFB8Ae052Bfe279c07aC5d94c9cD2937

      Ah that makes sense. It says Wallet balance: 0.000000 (BAL-REBASING-SMART-V1-AMPL-USDC)
