Lots of blocks are backlogged, may need more nodes. Also cannot connect to any node to sync blocks. :-/
Use the nodes provided in the ShitcoinDeLuxe.conf (in the downloaded zip).
These here:
addnode=104.156.231.46:4334
addnode=45.63.92.210:4334
addnode=140.82.36.38:4334
thanks, syncing now
Also, any reason I cannot connect to the stratum/pool? (none of the 3 ports)
