Just to share the experience.
I just wonder as even my local wallet has 12 connections already but Bittrex seems stuck at 3/6 confirmations for around an hour now.
Does it sound right? I don't know the details about how blockchain confirmation works but I feel it is not normal.
Are all nodes supposed do the some work even not for reward?!
EDIT: Oh, just after I post this I see it got another 3 confirmations right away...
2GIVE is powered by transactions, not raw mining.
Your wallets won't waste any CPU if there is nothing to mine! The chain rejects EMPTY blocks -- there has to be something of value and at least 1% TXFEE on that value to pay the POW miners.
In about two days the first transactions in the seed wallets will become eligible for staking -- we have that disabled on all but the donation wallet at the moment to see how successful our "airdrop" program was.
