Mac fag checking in. Running 1.4.10 and smooth sailing so far. Staking and all.
Curious behaviour as the staking icon goes red more than I've ever seen but I can't
see a problem.
Does it go red for long periods at a time? Long enough that you can hover the mouse over it and tell me what pops up when it's red?
If you put:
debug=stake
in the clam.conf file in the same folder as your wallet.dat and restart, it will write stake-related stuff to debug.log in the same folder as it stakes.
You could "tail -f debug.log" in that folder and see whether anything looks different when it's red. Staking basically consists of hashing each of your staking outputs every 16 seconds and comparing the result with a target based on the network difficulty. If the output hashes lower than the target, you get to stake a block. "debug=stake" will cause these hashes that are being compared to be logged.
I couldn't find an existing one, so I created a clam.conf and added debug=stake. I'm hoping I did it correctly. I added a screengrab of data flow.

Hope this helps. Thanks for everything!

Same thing was happening to me on a previous version (1.4.7 i think) and the 0 weight was also showing.
I haven't seen it happen to me again yet on this latest version.. but I'll watch for it.
