I've been staking but have been getting a ton of orphaned blocks recently. Today alone I have 10 stake transactions, but 9 of them are orphaned. I'm on the 1.0.2.1 version of the wallet... is there anything I should be troubleshooting?
You should try the following in your wallet:
[Tools > Wallet Repair > Recover Transactions 1]
quick update - looks like this did the trick. thanks drip!
No problem. Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
It looks like the problem keeps re-occurring. I've tried the recover transactions method a couple times, and it'll clean up the orphan blocks from my transaction history, but it won't prevent new drip stakes from being orphaned. Yesterday was the first day I didn't get any stake, because all the blocks were orphaned. Any suggestions on what I could do? Should I try creating a completely new wallet and transferring all my DRIP to it?
That's definitely an option that would deal with corruption, if any, in your wallet.dat file.
You could either create a new wallet and send your DRIP manually to it or, if you want to keep all your original wallets addresses, you can use the 'dumpwallet "dripdump"' debug console command to create a file containing all your addresses and associated private keys and then use the 'importwallet "dripdump"' debug console command in your new wallet to pull all those addresses, and their associated transactions, into the new wallet.
