When waiting to sync, what exactly is going on?  Is my computer processing something?  Am I simply waiting in line for the others before me?  I thought the value of a block chain is that the other's participating in this coin will be syncing each other.

the blockchain, is a chain of blocks Smiley

so when you are syncing, your client is downloading each block in order and checking that it appears valid.

... etc to the end.
