It's been around 1 hour and still no confirmation email when trying to sign up at
https://tec.ark.io/sign-up . I re-sent verificiation email and checked my junk folder as well but still nothing. Is it supposed to take more than 1 hour?
Yes. It ended 4 months ago...

Why would you sign-up to tec.ark.io ? ARKs have already been distributed to those that had accounts - if you sign-up with new account your balance will be 0 .
Well, I'm following exact directions on setting up my account (ArkClient) and so I can vote for delegates. The instructions state to go to the site....
https://blog.ark.io/how-to-vote-or-un-vote-an-ark-delegate-and-how-does-it-all-work-819c5439da68Yes, I read the instructions on how to vote but I don't think I'm at that step yet. I opened ArkClient, clicked create account, and copied my 12-word password and other password. Is that it to setup the account? It says "This account has never interacted with the network. This is a cold wallet.". Anything else I have to do before continuing on with voting for a delegate?
Yes, you need to buy ARK coins with Bitcoins

Bittrex.com would be a great place to start.
Then transfer the ARK coins to your wallet address.
It says it a cold wallet because you have never sent anything out from there.
Already had ARK on Bittrex from before. I didn't know setup was so simple, lol.
I just want to make sure one more time, other than having to trust the delegate to payout, is there any risk at all with the actual coins (eg. 30,000 ARK) I use to vote? Does the delegate, or anyone but me for that matter, have any sort of access to the coins I decide to "share" with the delegate? I'm planning on voting for 2 delegates and splitting my coins 50/50 with each (about 15,000 ARK coins each)...
