So I deleted and reloaded the wallet like 4 times. It has been up and running for days between the deleting and reloading. Oddly one transaction that showed on the 12th now shows on the 13th. But I can't figure out why the wallet isn't staking. I read all the posts. Below is a screen shot of the wallet.

Just from this PIX alone, I'd say that s/he has not even Encrypted the wallet.
And then I'd ask: If the wallet is not encrypted..... Does it need to be Unlocked?
I'm thinking NO but I'm not sure.
All of my wallets are encrypted - hummmmmm
Let's see what the DEV has to say about this....
Am I right DEV?
No need to Unlock a wallet if it's not Encrypted - right?
Yes it seems you are correct, I didn't notice the lock icon missing.
Well then, FIRST order of business.........ENCRYPT your wallet, then backup your wallet.dat file.....preferably a few times and in multiple locations......them's is precious KSCs there! Not sure how others do it, but when I setup a new wallet the VERY first thing I do after it syncs is encrypt the wallet, backup the wallet.dat file multiple times. After logging the password, I usually create a new address called Created To Test PP, which you probably just guessed is to test my new pass phrase....and before I put any coin in it!
I usually do not keep any copies of my original wallet before setting the pass phrase, that way ALL of my backups are encrypted versions of the wallet.dat file.
People are CRAZY to ignore security steps messing with this stuff!!
I'll encrypt the wallet when it is worth encrypting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help. I have deleted everything, downloaded the wallet 5 times and reinstalled it about 10. It just isn't working for me. So with the block chain moving the way it is I am guessing a transfer to a different address or exchange is impossible right now?
