Anybody else get forked when difficulty went below 0.03 on Christmas Eve?
Was thinking it was a Christmas Miracle had staked like 2000 or so, however experience has shown me that I was off on my own fork and then block explorers confirmed it for me.
And wouldn't you know it, everything was closed on Christmas day, meaning the quick download of the whole chain bootstrap.
This morning bootstrap downloaded only to find most of my VRC appears to be missing, so left it re-scanning this morning plan to check on it at lunch, fingers crossed...
If it does not help i would suggest getting on Slack. There is "always" someone with the knowledge ready to help out there

Should be more active here maybe, as Slack got a much bigger and active community than this thread makes it look like.
Thanks, happy to report that all is good. rescan brought balances back into play and stakes are popping off with a little bonus... block explorer is verifying it so...
I have considered getting on to the Slack, just not a fan of the that app yet. who know someday I may show up there.
