No reveals to redeem.

[sugendran]

Hi,

I thought I'd try the auction process after going through the airdrop claim process. I created an auction for sugendran (vanity name... I know and then managed missed the bid window. Am I right in thinking that all the coins were locked up in the auction creation?

When I try to do the redeem it tells me:

No reveals to redeem.

Is it possible to recover the coins that were locked up at auction creation?

The auction had 1 bid and was revealed. Is this yours?
If yes, you won the name.

If not, then no other bid was placed so there aren't any (bid) coins locked up.

When the auction starts, there's an OPEN transaction sent, and this is locked forever. But this isn't really a problem because it has a value of 0 HNS.

@rithvikvibhu actually OPENs are spendable:

hsd/lib/primitives/covenant.js

Lines 368 to 383 in c861e4f

	/**
	* Test whether a coin should be considered
	* unspendable in the coin selector.
	* @returns {Boolean}
	*/
	isNonspendable() {
	switch (this.type) {
	case types.NONE:
	case types.OPEN:
	case types.REDEEM:
	return false;
	default:
	return true;
	}
	}

but otherwise you are correct, @sugendran REDEEM is just for losing bids -- winning bids use REGISTER to set DNS records for the name, but it also sweeps the change back from the second-highest bid. In your case (with only one bid) the second highest bid is zero, so when you REGISTER this name you will get your entire reveal amount back as a change output.

Ah okay, I think I misunderstood the output of cli.

Will close this.
