Today I was finally able to stake my holdings of Cardano tokens on the new Shelley testnet. Servers have been unable to keep on with all the petitions so it has been quite difficult.
I chose to use the Yoroi web extension in order to avoid having to synchronize the testnet's blocks. So I had to import the wallet using the 12 word list. However, before that could happen, a new "rewards" wallet had to be available. In my case, I restored the one I created on the snapshot balance check, using the 15 word list.
There were some issues on the road, but I finally did it.
When people stakes, they will not be rewarded until the current epoch -24 hours on the testnet- plus the next epoch passes.
I chose one of the stake pools with 0% fees. Tomorrow I would be getting first rewards -which are not received in the wallet, but just virtually added, no transaction is performed-.
Somehow, I visited the website of that stake pool...
Just to find I will not be getting any rewards.
I have just chosen another pool. You don't need to undelegate, by the way. Just choose a different one and that's it!
Well, except I will have to wait again for current epoch to finish and I will get rewards after the next one. So my first rewards will arrive on December 23th.
Taking note man, thanks.

Excited to see staking rewards on ADA. Just now seeing this post on the 23rd. Did your rewards come through with no issue?
Not yet. The staking pool I chose has not produced any block, neither. So I will keep waiting for it for some time still before changing the selected pool again.
Gotcha.
Good sharing👍
