What should we do to get this running again?

I have 0.8.1, and am connected only to 0.8.1 connections. I'm mining with 2mhz, which should be enough to find blocks at this difficulty, but I'm not getting any blocks after several hours.

Would it help if for the time being, we created 66.conf files that that only connect to other 0.8.1 wallets?

I did this by using connect=(0.8.1 node ip)  and limiting  my maxconnections= to prevent older wallets from connecting.

Is there anything else we can do to jump start this?
