When will I get my first rewards?

Rewards are paid out later due to the Cardano delegation cycle. It takes three full epochs since joining a particular stake pool (15-20 days) to see your first rewards. For example, you've delegated in epoch n, then epochs n+1 to n+3 count as three full epochs and you'll get the first rewards at the beginning of epoch n+4. One epoch lasts 5 days.
