the 'status' of my payment for the last block is empty in my payments table. Should there be some status?
don't stress out. you'll get it. do a search for your btc address in the block explorer. you should find an unconfirmed transaction.
I'm not seeing mine either. I get my Kano payments sent to an exchange which always emails me when a deposit for me hits the mempool, waiting for confirmation. I haven't got an email for this last block.
