Love me some POS... wallet been minting all day!
Why does one transaction show "Unconfirmed (0 of 4 confirmations) Generated but not accepted Mined"?
Thanks,
Fred

It is called an Orphan, it was completing for a block and another zeit wallet won that block over yours,
but it won one later, which is minting right above it, since it was older you received 23901 instead of 23743 .
More Details
When an orphan block occurs via proof of stake mining, it is because another block of Zeitcoins staked at the same time and the blockchain accepted the other block's stake rather than your stake. The PoS transaction in the client will show 0 confirmations, and only exists in your own client and is not recorded to the blockchain. If you get an orphan, simply keep your wallet as is and your Zeit block will remain in the pool of blocks competing for stake, you did not lose any coin age that has accumulated. Furthermore the way Zeitcoins are designed, the higher the coin age the more staking bonus you will get. So in the case of an orphaned PoS block, you will not "lose" anything because you will be compensated for the extra time the block took to mature.
