I'm one of those with the perpetual "Not staking because you don't have mature coins" people.  I've been coding for 35 years and have looked at the code but I'm afraid C++ is not my native language and I have neither the time nor patience to learn it.  There is definitely something unintended happening, or certainly the wallet is not behaving within the stated parameters of the coin.

I have the latest wallet, it's up do date (currently block 8340).  I had a transaction come in (well over 6 hours ago) so I know the network is working and I had a positive balance for several days before that.  If we can just get over this one hurdle then there's nothing wrong with the coin and hopefully it will recover.
