Sounds like your wallet might be empty. I had the same issue before. If your wallet shows "blank": true and keypool sizes are zero, then yeah, it's empty. How did you set up your wallet?
Why would you choose a blank wallet though? That option isn't selected by default. Just curious, did you really need a blank one for some reason? Be careful with your encryption passphrase too. It's easy to forget.
Everyone starts somewhere, for real. Don't worry. Just close this thread since you figured it out, and have fun mining with your S9i. Good luck finding cheap power!
