Are orphans and extreme bad luck common with MINT ?
I just found my first block after 4 days of solo mining with 1.1 mhash. It orphaned after only 1-2 confirms and is not showing up on the legder.
Happens a lot to me too...
Anyone have any idea why my latest POS will not confirm? I received another after this and that one confirmed.

Have you guys tried the 'repairwallet' command ?
With only 30 second blocks, yes orphans are very common. That is also why all these people are having problems with their minting not confirming.
