OK, but stake blocks are still blocks and should show up on the explorer all the same and continue to raise the block count as well, otherwise how are we confirming tx's on this network lol...

Also, any explanation as to why my client isn't staking as I have been asking for two days now...?

EDIT: BTW, restarting my client still shows me on block 1008 but it says I am out of sync and 2 hours behind, something is definitely wrong.
