I can also confirm that lagging is gone in this latest version, but now I cannot see staking estimations like before.
Nevertheless staking is working like it should and I can check staking info on green arrow in the right corner so no big deal for me.
Kudos to Carsen for doing the great job as always.
v2.5.2 was mostly my code!
I appreciate the sentiment though, we've come a long way since v1!
The staking estimations tab is currently not correctly removing transactions that stake while the wallet is open - it only updates when you start the wallet. Workaround right now is to reboot the wallet. However I'm aware of the issue and we should be addressing it in v2.6.
On another note, FYI, hashbag.cc now has some more stratum locations:
Netherlands (EU):
-o stratum+tcp://nl2.hashbag.cc:8688 -u [-p ]
Miami (US East):
-o stratum+tcp://us.hashbag.cc:8688 -u [-p ]
NEW! Hong Kong (China):
-o stratum+tcp://hk.hashbag.cc:8688 -u [-p ]
NEW! Sydney (AU/NZ):
