I have followed following answer about How to add new Sealer in Geth 1.6 Proof of Authority?.
Currently I have one signer account 0x4e4a0750350796164d8defc442a712b7557bf282. With one signer the mining was working without any problem. My signer account proposed a new signer account using propose() function.
clique.propose("0x5b29ede59ecff473fb5760a53dbacc21cbc5b3dd", true)
On my signer node and other nodes, I can see the new address on my signers list (clique.getSigners()),
clique.getSigners()
["0x4e4a0750350796164d8defc442a712b7557bf282", "0x5b29ede59ecff473fb5760a53dbacc21cbc5b3dd"]
Than on my other node which has 0x5b29ede59ecff473fb5760a53dbacc21cbc5b3dd I have unlocked that account and run miner.start() command, but no help on mining new blocks on the network. So network stop mining new blocks 🙁
Also new signer account does not show up on my other connected node, which has the account for new added signer.
Now, I cannot also remove the newly added signer using:
clique.propose("0x5b29ede59ecff473fb5760a53dbacc21cbc5b3dd", false)
Please note that both signers are unlocked and miner.start() is active.
[Q] How could I solve this problem?

eth.coinbasehas to point to the sealing account.If you want to remove again the second account, both accounts will have to propose the removal. You always need 50% + 1 vote, which is 2 for 2 accounts.
