@ KingN

Thank you for the explanation and the assertion that you and your team are trying to keep the chain functioning through distributed staking.  As a positive, I do notice that several (3 to 5) nodes connect quite quickly when syncing the wallet.  I also recognize the situation where one doesn't stake for a few days and how that can significantly increase the network stake-weight once connected to the network again.

By the way, which PoS version does WOKE use (haven't really poked around at the code)?   There's a pretty in-depth article that goes into some of the techicalities here: http://earlz.net/view/2017/07/27/1904/the-missing-explanation-of-proof-of-stake-version (which I'm posting here simply because it is an informative, though technical, article).
