Hey everyone,
We will be fixing the Orphan blocks hopefully tomorrow, this will mean a hardfork but will dramatically decrease the amount of orphan blocks being created. We are working on an Electrum fix but unfortunately we don't know what is causing the errors yet. And the QT wallet also is on its way but the compiling problem if qt5-base is still very there.
Sorry for the inconvenience, the SHIELD team.
At least you are working on it, and not denying any issues with it. For most people complaining about this there are solutions for the transactions, confirmations and what not with the Electrum wallet, we all have this issue. And for those who are just mining this to dump it as soon as they have it in their wallet, please use your deposit address from that one exchange to mine to and you won't have an Electrum wallet in the middle preventing you from selling your coins. I'm sure there are plenty of people waiting to get their hands on your coins for only a few sats
