I've received a bunch of small payments from mining. Should I send the balance to myself to reset the coinage so their all the same, or does it matter?
I wouldn't, don't waste your already accrued time on the coinage. Just keep filling the silo with that grain.
That's a lot of PoS blocks

Had my wallet off a few days, switching operating systems, nice surprise when the wallet synced.
Coin is running great btw, real smooth, nice work!
