Troubleshooting Checklist
If your allocator is enabled but you don't see any new subnet positions, check these three things:
1. Are you staked to the Crucible Labs Validator?
The Smart Allocator only has the "permission" to move rewards that are generated through our specific validator.
The Fix: Ensure your ROOT stake is delegated to Crucible Labs. If you are staked to a different validator (like an exchange or another community validator), the Smart Allocator will not be able to "see" or move those rewards.
2. The "Minimum Entry Fee"
Every subnet on Bittensor requires a minimum amount of TAO to start a stake.
The allocator waits until your rewards reach this "entry fee" before sending them.
If you have ~15+ TAO staked with the Crucible Labs validator, you should see an allocation every few days. With smaller amounts, it may take 1–2 weeks to "fill the bucket" for your first subnet.
3. Sequential Logic
Remember that the tool works one-by-one. It will finish staking in the first subnet on your list before starting the next. If you are watching a specific subnet further down your list, it won't receive funds until the ones above it are "filled."
