So, I did some more experimenting. I was able to import the wallet into NNS and see the cycles.
Basically, what I did:
- Provided the principal from my NNS app
- Selected new wallet in the faucets app
- was provided dfx identity --network ic set-wallet --force bla-bla-bla-bla
- then went into the nns app and selected “create or link canister”
- selected “link canister to account”
- entered the wallet ID from above (bla-bla…) here
- the canisters list on NNS shows a canister with the wallet ID and the 75 T cycles in it.
I assume now I can add my local identity principal ID as a controller here and then transfer cycles from this canister to others I’m deploying on the network. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Or if this method is not suggested for some pitfall that I’m not yet seeing.
Regards
