Symptoms





My wallet is running, but staking does not appear to be active. In the pivx-qt (graphical/GUI) wallet the arrow is not green or in pivx-cli (command line/CLI) getinfo says staking is not active.





Solution





As a first step, please verify that you meet all staking conditions on this page. Condition number 5 is a common reason for staking being inactive. Waiting for your coins to mature takes 101 blocks (101 minutes). During this time your GUI wallet may show that part of your balance as immature.



If your wallet meets all of these conditions and staking is not active, try the getstakingstatus command:

For a GUI wallet, open Tools > Debug Console. Then input the command getstakingstatus

For a CLI wallet, enter pivx-cli getstakingstatus



You should see an output similar to the one below that shows your compliance with several staking conditions. If any of these are false, it should narrow down the issue.



"validtime" : true, "haveconnections" : true, "walletunlocked" : true, "mintablecoins" : true, "enoughcoins" : true, "mnsync" : true, "staking status" : true



If the steps above are unsuccessful, try the following:

Gracefully shutdown your pivx wallet

Wait 30 seconds and then restart the wallet

Wait 5 minutes and then unlock your wallet for staking
