Hey I like Bernie so decided to join but unfortunately my wallet trying to synchronize since yesterday. I don't know network hashrate but hope able to mine some with my old laptop and here is my new signature.
Hey zerocoder! Welcome! Bernie or bust (your party)! haha Seriously, #BernieWouldHaveWon
Syncing will take a couple / few days, depending on your bandwidth. So yes, it will take some patience.
Hashrate is very healthy ("networkhashps" : 60875076608 - thank you miners!) and well beyond solo mining reaches, certainly for your laptop. However; 'Easy Pool Mining' will make it easy for you to get what little you can. It can be mining while it syncs also, though the syncing is using a lot of cycles. You will have even fewer to mine with while syncing.
Also, I must advise, please be sure your laptop has sufficient cooling and air flow.
Again, welcome and thanks for the BERN signature! I will send you a nice tip / welcoming gift right now! #rEVOLution
