Are you synced? If not, try adding the addnodes from Alex above.
If the only problem is unconfirmed transactions, the chain moves by POS
so, you need to wait until someone finds blocks. Unfortunately, the way
the wallet code is set, it takes 9 days before a block POS reward is given.
We need more wallets open and more blocks within the wallets. It takes
520 blocks to confirm, so more people with wallets unlocked and, with
more smaller blocks would lead to smoother movement of the chain.
I have a bunch of blocks that should POS tomorrow. Once, they POS, I will
split them into much smaller blocks.
