Can anyone please explain whats going on with the blockchain confirmations? In the past 6 hours I only got about 10 confirmations.

This is supposed to be 3456 confirmations in 12.3 days (for staking) according to OP so we should be getting well over 250+ confirmations per day.

At this rate, coins will take almost an entire month to mature as opposed to the 12.3 days mentioned in the OP.

Can anyone shed some light on this glaring issue?
