Have you tried to mint ahk item on your side?

Could you share more infos of what he is excepting and what did he tried to do? Maybe he doesn't have enough balance?

He tried:

• delete cookies, cache
• restart laptop
• remove and add wallet (by accident)
• update his metadata in the wallet
• I sent him more funds

@roiLeo would you think it would be too bad to spawn prompt and ask user which wallet does he use?

[vikiival]

@JustLuuuu for the context this bug happens when app is trying to find a wallet which user used to log in. If app fails to do this task, it would try to find your Wallet JSON in localStorage (aka keyring) and when it also fails it will spawn this dialog.

I am thinking to remove the keypair storage but need another fallback for the user

wdym? looks bad for UX, maybe we can throw error in sentry. does this occur before or after the validation popup in extension?

edit: link #3591

[vikiival]

does this occur before or after the validation popup in extension?

As I wrote above the error is thrown when app cannot find wallet we can try rather say unable to communicate with wallet please relogin

[vikiival]

I would still open issue to rework the signing 😇🫶

could you please share step to reproduce?

[vikiival]

1. Login
2. Clear localstorage
3. Sign anything

This should fail imo

[vikiival]

Yup I was able to reproduce :)
