Sometimes, down the bottom, when the mouse is placed over the CloakShield symbol, the symbol is greyed out and the pop-up text reads "CloakShield unavailable."
What is happening / not happening here?
It happens when no anon nodes are available.
I have staked Cloak for over a year. I installed Evolution. Rewards stopped on or about 2/20. I also see that the number of nodes I am connected to has fallen to only 3. Cloakshield is unavailable. Only one Enigma node available. What do I need to change to fix this? Sure, I could reinstall, but is there something else going on that I missed reading about?
Thanks.
Did you unlock your wallet for minting? The wallet stakes the coins fine there are no known issues with that. In avg. you can expect 60-70 anon connections or more, i think there are still a lot of older wallets not updated and the old enigma nodes cannot communicate with the new enigma nodes.
Did you restart your wallet ?
Okay, something is very wrong with Cloak. Yes, my wallet is unlocked. Yes, I reinstalled the evolution wallet. I only see between 3 and 7 connections on any day, which is way down from where it used to be. And the last reward I earned was on 2/20. Enigma nodes are not available. I am synchronized and am reportedly up to date. My weight should bring a reward every 19 hours on average.
How is it possible to go one full month on this new wallet release and receive nothing? I did not have these issues on the next to last wallet release.
I would love to hear the explanation, and something beyond "it works perfectly well, no known issues" because clearly there are some serious issues with Evolution. And I have run Cloak wallets since late 2016. 60-70 anonymous connections? On what planet?
I am not a member of the dev team, just offering some advise.
Staking works just fine here as I'm sure many others are staking as well. Sounds like your on your own little fork. And, I've run CLOAK wallets since 2014. This is not official advise but, in situations like this, deleting the blockchain data and peers.dat then restarting the wallet so it can redownload the chain usually fixes the problem. Happens quite often when upgrading wallets that have been running for long time when a new one is released. Backup your wallet.dat file first and don't delete it with the blockchain files. Resync will take a while. Oh and, make sure you are actually running the updated wallet not the old one.
An easier approach would be to totally delete everything associated with the CLOAK wallet EXCEPT wallet.dat, save that in a safe place, and do a fresh install of the new wallet. Make sure Windows put the wallet executable in the same place it was before. I assume you are using windows....
