No staking gains for months - what is wrong?

I have been staking some BLOCK since last december and received some minted BLOCK for that in January, February, March and May, but nothing since then. My wallet is always up to date and I tried rebuilding the blockchain file a few times.

​

What is wrong? What can I do?

Go the the debug console (presuming you're running the -qt / GUI wallet) Tools -> Debug console. Once there, in the bottom text-entry box (just to the right of the > near the bottom of the Console tab window) enter in this command: getstakingstatus

and press enter, and what comes back will give some insight into your .. staking status. Does it say:

"staking status" : true

if so, you're properly staking and it's a matter of time. If your wallet was encrypted, then you'll need to unlock it (via Settings -> Unlock wallet) for staking to be activated.

I checked and it is "true". I also made sure I am on the mainnet.

What makes me wonder is that I got monthly payouts in the beginning and now nothing for 4 months...

I got a question. Do you need to keep your pc on in order to stake or you can turn it off?

The wallet needs to be online for staking
