Pre-login "point not owned" message is confusing

[Fang-]

If the user attempts to log in with a ticket that doesn't own the ID they're trying to log in as/with, then they get dislayed a message.

bridge/src/views/Login/Ticket.js

Lines 92 to 99 in e15d0c1

	// warn the user
	if (noPermissions && !didWarn.current) {
	didWarn.current = true;
	return {
	[WARNING]:
	'This wallet is not the owner or transfer proxy for this point.',
	};
	}

This is intended to be informational, and the login button transforms to say "login anyway", but it seems (from support conversations) users often miss that cue. This looks and sounds like an error, so clicking login again (and so, even looking closely at it) isn't a natural follow-up action.

I don't remember what this message was supposed to buy us anymore. Maybe we should just remove it?

This just happened to my friend, but he clicked the "Login Anyway" button and it said "No points to display. This wallet is not the owner or proxy for any points." I had just given him a planet from an invite card, we redeemed it on bridge, and he typed in the @p and master ticket from the downloaded image. I don't know why his ownership isn't registered.

Oh, I think we forgot to do the "verify your ticket" stage. Maybe that's related?

[belisarius222]

Well, now I'm trying to do that step and it says "Does not match master ticket." I don't know how to proceed from here.

Ok, I just tried to verify a second planet invite, and it failed the same way. Seems like these invites are bunk. I don't know why they would be; a couple months ago I gave some to some friends that worked just fine.

Are these from the latest batch? What is provenance of invites?

They have the "sound money deserves a sound computer" marketing copy.  I was mailed them, I believe, as the first round of invites.   — ~rovnys-ricfer https://urbit.org

I certainly hope you did! If you made it all the way through the invite flow (ending with a redirect to the point overview page), and you an then not log in with the master ticket you downloaded & verified, that's a Big Bug and needs serious investigation.
(You do, in fact, need to make it all the way through to actually claim the invite. Just downloading some files isn't enough, changes need to be made on-chain.)

now I'm trying to do that step and it says "Does not match master ticket."

When inputting the master ticket from the files you downloaded? That's very strange. Is this consistently reproducible, across sessions? It seems to have been working for everyone, across browsers and everything, not sure what you're hitting. If you can repro this, would appreciate help investigating.

Seems like these invites are bunk.

If you can enter the invite flow (ie can see the planet name associated with the invite), it's not bunk, and any further issue is on the Bridge side.
