Minting $ckUSDC takes unreasonably long time - I am waiting 1h+ now and 339 ETH confirmations since I have sent USDC and still nothing - If you want to act fast to buy token with USDC - better forget it ! this must be fixed - maybe similiar desing to ckBTC integrated into the NNS… ---

What is the transaction hash related to you sending USDC? ---

It seems the trouble is caused by rpc from Ankr as mention in this post: > [@ckETH: a canister-issued Ether twin token on the IC](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/cketh-a-canister-issued-ether-twin-token-on-the-ic/22819/204): > > Hi @Gotcha You are correct. There is currently an IPv6 connectivity problem with rpc.ankr.com. This is readily visible in the [logs](https://sv3dd-oaaaa-aaaar-qacoa-cai.raw.icp0.io/logs?sort=desc) as you probably have seen ConsistentHttpOutcallError(IcError { code: SysTransient, message: \"Connecting to rpc.ankr.com failed: Failed to directly connect: client error (Connect)\" }) A quick dig shows that there is currently no AAAA record for rpc.ankr.com. dig AAAA rpc.ankr.com ; \<\<\>\> DiG 9.10.6 \<\<\>\> AAAA rpc.ankr.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;;… ---

So the chainkey tech is down now? I thought its more robust … there needs to be some more transparent way to see if its “online” and working… I wanted to make arbitrage trade and I am already $ in a loss time/price wise… ---

As an update, we have reached out to and are waiting for LlamaNodes to get back up. Once it is, you will receive ckUSDC.

You should have received 3,764 ckUSDC to principal `whocn-tbpjx-jgubl-6q45v-gir26-ykspk-vociu-24mep-4zdoe-xkh6j-eae`. You can check the [ckETH and ckERC20 Minter Dashboard](https://sv3dd-oaaaa-aaaar-qacoa-cai.raw.icp0.io/dashboard) by searching your transaction hash `0x2b2202f5fff28c5b6c1918cec764faab53e849deef05d23387c6fe3bf9e93778`. ![ckETH/ckERC20 Minter Dashboard Screenshot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/3X/7/3/733cea848f23302e0e4a5e8b78178133eb06f514.png) ---

Yes I have finaly received them. I constantly trade small and big ammounts on many chains. so my worries in the moment are can I reliably use ckETH nad erc20 tokens back and forth to ETH and ICP in order to trade? Somewhere where one can reliable check if the bridge is “alive” and not get stuck again days.
