The worker stats on the official pool aren't related to a daemon sync issue but I have let support know

The official priority nodes, including the ones Speedie added appear to be in sync at this time. We do understand that there may still be some hiccups and are diligently working to provide effective solutions to anyone who may still need assistance.

I'm here for as long as anyone needs me.

Can I just throw a hypothesis? I'm not sure that it is true because I'm very new to the cryptocurrency world, but at least an idea.
Seems that using --add-priority-node decreases diversity the network and creates heavy load on these priority nodes added by a lot of participants, so they could not handle the large traffic.
Is it possible that the network is better without any priority nodes?
May the problems had been arisen (or the things got worse) when the first bunch of priority nodes appeared?
How other networks based on monero (e.g. sumo, etn) do exist without any priority nodes and with a quite number of alternatives according to daemons' logs?

P.S. Sorry for writing this early morning but seems we're in completely different time zones.

No worries about the time zone thing, I actually really just enjoy helping people when I can so I don't mind at all

(Plus my dogs love to hang out in the middle of the night)

We're using priority nodes for now because it's a smaller network but they shouldn't be needed in the future for the average person. They can make life easier for some people like pool operators though.

The first priority nodes didn't cause any problems but we've had a large influx of new connections lately so we (thank you -->Speedie!<--) added more priority nodes to reduce the load per node, increase geographical diversity, and generally help support the network while it's in its infancy. The nodes should help keep each other in sync for now.

Edit: I forgot to add that the load per node is very low right now and they're setup to handle a massive influx of new connections.
