No rewards in almost 3 years, since switching to container

Support
1

I started using Peercoin in 2017. I run a client continuously and I keep the wallet unlocked for minting. I used to get “mint by stake” rewards every 1 to 6 months. Since late 2019 I haven’t received any. Does that sound right?

Sometime in 2018 I switched from the peercoin Qt client on my desktop to a Docker container on a server. Could that have something to do with it? I do still unlock the wallet for minting by running peercoin-cli -rpcconnect=REDACTED1 -rpcuser=REDACTED2 -rpcpassword=REDACTED3 walletpassphrase REDACTED4 9999999 true

I do see two “generated but not accepted” mint by stake transactions in 2020. I found related topics here in the forums and most of the advice seems to be “just wait, keep on minting”. I’ll do that, but is there anything else I should try?

I’m running a container with the latest peercoin/peercoind image from Docker hub. Looks like Peercoin version v0.11.7.0-g00e2313e098731a6d32742ac9cd74f8e2ca8261b Tardigrade (release build) right now.

When I run getwalletinfo with the CLI program it returns:

{
  "walletname": "", 
  "walletversion": 60000,
  "balance": 42.733745,
  "unconfirmed_balance": 0.000000,
  "immature_balance": 0.000000,
  "txcount": 8,
  "keypoololdest": 1514449196,
  "keypoolsize": 1000,
  "unlocked_until": 1668617345,
  "unlocked_minting_only": true,
  "private_keys_enabled": true,
  "avoid_reuse": false,
  "scanning": false
}

Let me know if there’s any other debugging information that would be helpful for me to share.

You simply have too few coins and PoS difficulty is much higher than in 2018/2019.
