Anonymous Canister

Okay, the issue seems to be solved now w/o no cycles lost to the ether. After @matthewhammer suggested to run dfx canister status, it told me to run dfx canister --network ic create PROJECT_NAME which i did (spending 4T cycles). In my root folder, it created a canister_ids.json. I copied the format from the .dfx/local version and replaced the local id’s with the Anonymous Canister canister id’s listed in my Cycles Wallet. The project successfully deployed after that. Thank you @claudio and matthewhammer for the thoughtful responses!

here is the canister_ids.json file that was created in my root project folder:

{
  "PROJECT_NAME": {
    "ic": "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-cai"
  },
  "PROJECT_NAME_assets": {
    "ic": "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-cai"
  }
}
