added scoped labels

This should be labeled regression

Cause unknown at this moment, last time this kind of thing happened it was down to MetaMask defaulting their privacy settings to private mode.

Mine are gone too

Never use Brave, and have not turned on Metamask in a while.

I'm using Windows 7 with Brave Browser Version 0.70.123 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (32-bit). I do not have MetaMask installed on this computer. My Receiver Address on Minds is:

0x5FCBd7De4fBc2045100c4E958b2F67dbDbab18CA

I sent ETH to that address. If you look at the blockchain explorer you can see that I have sent ETH to that address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x5FCBd7De4fBc2045100c4E958b2F67dbDbab18CA

But, if you look at my wallet it shows the balance as "0".

I have a feeling this could also somehow be a misunderstanding between the expected behavior of end users and the assumptions from the developers / staff of Minds. I have never taken any of my Minds token on-chain. I have 300 Minds tokens that are offchain right now. I have never purchased Minds Tokens or ETH via the Minds website. I have never set up Crypto Wallets in Brave Browser nor have I installed MetaMask. I have never purchased ETH via SendWyre or MetaMask. I purchased my ETH on Uphold.com and sent them to my receiver address on Minds: 0x5FCBd7De4fBc2045100c4E958b2F67dbDbab18CA

Please let me know if you need more info from this system to help troubleshoot.

So, what seems to be happening is that v2/blockchain/wallet/balance is returning a 0 when it cannot get the balance. An error should be returned instead, indicating the failure.

It's my understanding that in the event there is a failure the token balance should be loaded by MetaMask, as it does locally. On production this is not the case. So that's a separate issue.

mentioned in merge request !396

Proposed a solution based on Mark pointing out that we are caching the wallet balance when values are null, this is going to require some testing and likely a revision.

What if you don't use MetaMask? I sent my ETH directly to my receiver address. Shouldn't my wallet be showing the ETH balance of any ETH sent to that address?
