My mint wallet has stopped minting since 3/11. I have updated to the current wallet and still nothing. It is unlocked. Any ideas? I found this in the debug log, not sure if it is relevant.

Hmm, sounds like some sort of corruption may be at fault here. Checksum implies that one or more files aren't the size that the program expects them to be. I think it's worth replacing all current Mintcoin files with new ones (except wallet.dat ofc)
Give this a shot:
1. Close down your wallet
2. Backup the wallet.dat file somewhere safe.
3. Delete all Mintcoin files on your PC - the QT.exe folder as well as the data in %appdata%\roaming\Mintcoin\... (assuming you're on Windows)
4. Download a new copy of the Mintcoin wallet 1.5
5. Run the exe, wait for it to open and then close it again.
6. Copy your backed-up wallet.dat into the %appdata% folder
7. Restart your client and see if it syncs.
As the coins haven't moved this won't reset their age, as well as ruling out 99% of files potentially corrupted.
ok, I did this. I now show some "stake" in my wallet. But now it is stuck on block 109242, and my debug log has this crap...

It would appear though that some of the blocks you might have generated got solved by someone else, and are therefore orphaned. You will soon start minting new ones though.
That raises a question though; would the stake that generated an orphaned block be elligible to mint again or is it back on counter for 20-odd days?
Perhaps a dev could help explain, or has anyone who has been minting seen the same stake generate orphans until it succeeds? I've seen rumour of a 20% success rate but don't quote me on that - other people's mileage may vary based on whatever factors may be involved.
