What can I do if my certificate minting fails?

Hello creator! It seems like there was a hiccup during the minting process, but don't worry, we've got you covered with a solution!

MyIPR has a feature that helps you get out of this adverse situation: Retry Minting. 

Generating a new certificate signifies the introduction of fresh data into the blockchain system. If this process encounters technical challenges leading to failures, the Retry Minting feature serves as a solution tailored for situations where the initial upload process faces obstacles, ensuring a smooth integration of information into the system.

Let's recreate the issue first.

Certificate Minting Process

Step 1: Create Certificate 

To mint your creation, you need to first upload your creation to create the certificate.

Step 2: Upload your Documents

Upload your file for which you need to create a certificate.

Upload File

On “File” page, drag and drop a file or click Browse to upload from local storage.

The criteria to upload a file:

- Cloud storage - 5 GB

Note: Executable files are not allowed.

Step 3: Enter Certificate Details

On the details pertaining to the certificate, and then make payment.

Step 4: Make Payment

Choose the payment method and proceed to pay.

Step 5: Payment Successful

Retry Minting

In case of discrepancy during minting process, you can always retry minting. 

Step 1: Go to My Collection

Choose the recently generated file slated for minting.

Step 2: Click on the retry button.

Click on the Retry button on top right corner of the selected file.

As a user seeking to mint a certificate, you require the system to handle failed minting seamlessly. This entails automated retries up to three times with 60-second intervals and manual retries within 24 hours of the last automated attempt, all without redundant data re-uploads or resubmissions. 

This streamlined approach enhances the efficiency and user experience in the certificate minting process.

Note:

• Failed certificates will be labeled "Failed" and accompanied by a retry button after an unsuccessful auto-retry attempt. 

• Successfully minted certificates will be displayed as "Certificate created."

• After a failed minting process, the system will retain all provided details for a retry.

• Certificates in the auto-retry process will be indicated with an "In Progress" status.

• A manual retry button will be enabled for the user if minting fails.

• The retry button will be removed either after 24 hours the auto-retry attempt or if minting is successful during any retry process.
