Wallet staked a few days back, now it says almost all my balance is "Staked" and it's out of sync

I always have my wallet up and running, 24/7 - I thought it helped with the network.

So ... your saying I've got to reload the whole blockchain now?

I don't know why it would have been out of sync, it never goes offline.

I've seen this once with the older client. Not sure what happened, and it was a long time ago, but before resynching, try running repairwallet AFTER restarting your client. If that don't work, then, yes, you'll need to resync. That unfortunately can take several hours.

Try to delete peers.dat and restart the wallet.

I just want to mention a VERY important security update for the next wallet release:

When I go to unlock my wallet for pos, there is no switch to "unlock for pos only", so the only way to stake is to FULLY unlock the wallet, which is VERY unsafe! Also once the wallet is fully unlocked, if you click on wallet, there is no "lock wallet option. These are MAJOR security issues, please make update soon.

immediately returned -
"wallet check passed"

is it supposed to do something else? 
Delete peers .dat?

What's the latest wallet version?

I am not sure "walletlock" is a good idea.
A week an a half ago when the difficulty was really high, I decided to use "walletlock" to lock my wallet, so that it wouldn't stake while I was at work.
When I got home, my wallet was locked, but it was staking.  When I had left in the morning I had 3 groups of coins that could stake while I was at work.  When I got home, I had 2 groups staking, and one was just gone...I quickly exited the wallet and restarted it.  It was then locked for real, and when the difficulty went down I unlocked it for real and everything worked fine.

Did the unlock for staking get fixed?

walletlock and walletpassphrase commands are a REALLY bad idea, because the viruses that steal coins take screen shots, and email them to the hacker. The devs know this, and are aware of this issue, and it will require a wallet update, that will need some time.

This can be mitigated in several ways. Personally, I use a script stored on a usb stick to run the command at command line level, and then I plug in the ethernet cord again. keyloggers only work on pressed keys. Seeing ^c and ^v in your keylog isn't terribly useful. Another useful trick is to run two sets of the blockchain (using -datadir and nonstandard ports on the sencond chain, and only connecting to that chain from your main wallet. Adds a layer of abstraction.

Security is tough, no matter what. It's a bit easier with the daemon, especially under Linux, but it's still a process.

EDIT: The best way to prevent staking is to put the "reservebalance" line in your configuration with like a million coins. Then, when you're ready to stake either kill it by console command, or comment it out in your configuration file and then restart the client.

OK - I am installing the new wallet.  I am going to use this time to move the wallet to a different PC.  What the best way.  Install the new wallet, let is sync, then move over the wallet.dat file?

(withholding the freak out)
I installed the new wallet, moved over the wallet.dat from my old wallet.  Now 99% of my TEK coins are gone.  All of my POS Mined say "Unconfirmed"  The last POS mined confirmed was November of last year.

Wallet is showing synced, but my balance is zero.  Even my transactions from 2013 show as confirmed, but still zero balance.

run repairwallet. And check against the block explorer to be sure you are fully synced.

As always, back up your wallet.dat file in a safe place.

That did something.  Appears all of my POS transactions are now showing up, syncing with confirms.  Have to wait till they fully confirm to see the balance.  Even with the pending stake, my balance looks off by ~ 40% low.  All of my Coin Control transactions - 6 of them in the last 5 months are unconfirmed - so under Recent Transactions show Payment to yourself (0 of 3 confirmations) the amount is ya know -0.0001 to -0.0003 but I'm wondering if those payments are what are missing now, not the transaction fees.

Info Bump

Please make sure your wallet is not staking while syncing.

put "reservebalance = 100000000" in the .conf keep staking off until you are ready,

or encrypt the wallet and unlock it for pos only when synced,

Enter the console command "reservebalance false" when you are synced and choose to stake.
