We are now making the transition to Proof-of-Stake.
You may notice some of your peers dropping or some difficulty syncing. If your sync is frozen for a long time you will need to shut down your client, delete your block chain, and then restart your client to sync. There is no need to delete your peers.dat file.
These issues are related to a very low initial difficulty for staking (relative to the very high PoW difficulty), causing some nodes to submit stake marginally earlier than they should. These particular nodes are unlucky and may have difficulty maintaining connections.
If this happens to your node, you should delete your block chain and re-sync. If any problems persist with syncing after you do this, please post here or PM our account and we will help you restore your wallet.
We are monitoring this situation closely and believe that any related difficulties are temporary.
We also notice that dedicated pools is on their own fork. This is because they have 90% of the Proof-of-Work hashes. We are trying to get in touch with them.

Are we going to PoS now?
We are currently at block 4,605 and PoW ends at 20,420 if i am right?
Or are we cutting the PoW blocks?
PoW and PoS occur simultaneously on the network until 20,420, when it becomes PoS only.
but look forward to further updates on the long term vision for the coin - exciting stuff!
