After the update my peer count jump from 1-2peers to 63 peers at a given time. Tomorrow will be the next validation day and the community is very helpful specially to the person who helps me with the invite code. This is the first time i experience a community member giving 1 on 1 tutorial for the step by step procedure on how to get started with idena.

Yes, all those who take part in validation once every 5 days are now greatly helped because no one has missed the validation hour, usually because the unstable internet network results in late validation and fails to complete unique captha to get an idena reward.
