i am finding blocks like crazy, but way too may orpans

is your wallet properly synced? Try setting up a conf file with the details from the OP. The extra nodes can help you stay up to date. If you're still having problems, try mining on a pool. I've been mining with about 11 mh/s solo for about a day now and haven't even found a single block. Pretty bad luck on my part but if I don't find any for the next day, I'll just go back to pool myself.
