extension VS apps

The metamask version is quite complicated. You might find it easier to understand the polkadot version of the same thing: https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/blob/master/packages/extension/src/content.ts

Have you tried using a different password in the newly created account? It could be a weird character is messing things up. This has happened before: https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/issues/892

It could be related to this: https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/issues/920

Hi u/emoneynati, this is a known issue that is being worked on. More information on Github: https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/issues/913

This does seem to be an issue, and it is being worked on. Currently there is no ETA about when it will be available again. You can view the issue here: https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/issues/913

According to https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/issues/671, this is a result of outdated metadata. Keeping metadata updated might help, but if that doesn't help, you have no chance but to trust the source.

There are benefits to installing Polkadot{.js} extension to your browser, even if you are not using it to store DOT or KSM. For instance, it blocks any scam sites it knows about automatically. https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension

I'm new in Polkadot, and I created my account using the official polkadot{.js} extension in Firefox. I was able to create one and transfer funds from an exchange. Right now, I'm trying to send a token to my other account (controller), and tried to stake but both of them didn't work due to the extension issue.

There are several ways to store DOT and KSM besides directly in Polkadot-JS. Probably the most common and convenient is the Polkadot{.js} extension. https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension

Side note: It does take time for everything to the validators on Polkadot-JS App to load, but I've never seen an issue on the repo about them _never_ loading.

I provided a workaround to migrate a Ledger account to Polkdakot-JS extension and sign from there: 6 days ago - https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/5014

I think it has to do with the wrong network you chose, check this GitHub repo from polkadot https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/4487

Polkadot-JS UI doesn't support the functionality to pay with a sufficient asset yet. When using Polkadot-JS UI, transaction fee needs to be paid in DOT.

Other people have already encountered this issue on Kusama network, you can see discussions here: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/4487

Please add the information to the bug report I've already posted as an issue to the Polkadot-JS Apps repo here: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/8465

If you are attempting to verify the SHA512 hash of the Electron version of Polkadot-JS, note that the package manager base64-encodes the hash. See this issue for how to convert: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/4713

Even though Polkadot-JS App will show an Ethereum-style address, I don't know if it can actually interact with the Moonriver/Moonbeam networks - I'm seeing a few open PRs/issues which make me think it does not work (e.g. https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/5216)

There is a proposal to port the Substrate tip bot to the Polkadot-JS repository, as well, allowing users to be tipped for PRs and other contributions to the Polkadot-JS codebase. https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/7339

Maybe you can find a solution here: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/3681
