It seems like you are doing this in an environment that is unlike the mainnet live environment. So it's confusing to pools which steps can be taken on hot node and which steps need to be done on air gapped machine. Can you please breakdown the steps on hot and cold environment?
Hi Rich, good question! As a rule of thumb, stake pool operators always sign stuff on the air-gapped machine. So, in the case of polls, SPOs sign transactions with COLD.SKEY and PAYMENT.SKEY, both of which are supposed to be in a cold environment. The same applies to delegate key holders. Answering the poll and building the transaction can be done either on the air-gapped machine or on a live node. The only difference is that on an air-gapped machine, we need to use "build-raw" instead of "build". Of course, submitting the transaction requires a node.
@@carloslopezdelara8058 does the airgapped machine version matter, if I am just using it to sign the transaction from an 8.0.0. live node? I only ask because my air gapped is arm and there don't appear to be any static 8.0.0 binaries for arm yet.

It will probably work but I'm not 100% sure TBH. I'll give it a go and report, or perhaps you have already done that?
