And the other 250 blocks we need is taking at least 2 more hours.
closer to 3 I think
Maybe 500 was a bit too much. ^^
I am no fan of this zero reward system for the first 100-200 or even 500 Blocks... as already said, it makes the whole launch kind of boring..
It's a miners thing setting up the rigs, logging onto the pool and hash the blocks away while the diff is low, seeing lots of orphans at the beginning and seeing it flattening out later on... Getting those "big" rewards at the beginning..
