Is there a recommended internet connection for Pandabank to run properly? I wonder if my poor bandwidth is the reason for a lot of my issues. I live in a pretty rural part of south west England and my bandwidth usually caps at about 300k and that is shared between 3 family members who all regularly use the internet. My latest issue is with the interest not coming through, I know I will get it eventually but I have 6 lots of various amounts going back as far as the 9th of January and that one seems to have been frozen on 339 conformations for ages, the others range from 1 to 206 conformations. Cheers for the assistance as always.
Do you also have valid stakes?
Everyone gets invalid stakes at times, and yes it does depend on your connection, *but* once the blockchain is synced, it's mainly a matter of latency, not bandwidth.
Not accepted stakes happen; with so many people staking and short block time, it's kinda "common" for two people to send their stake in the same millisecond. As you already know, it doesn't matter in the long run (not even in the middle run).
Anyway, if you have any doubts, try a full resync.
Stop the wallet, and open an explorer window and type %appdata% in the address bar, then go to the Pandacoin folder. Make a backup of wallet.dat and delete everything else. Then restart the wallet.
Try to do it when your family isn't using the connection, it might choke your bandwidth, since it's so fast now.
And remember to backup your wallet.dat often!
(you can do it from the interface File -> backup Pandabank)
