We're currently experiencing some difficulties with the StartCOIN block chain getting stuck after periods of extremely high hashrate. This appears to be when multipools, and users with a large number of Scrypt ASICs, are mining the coin and then moving away, leaving the difficulty too high for regular miners to find blocks. We are working on an updated wallet with automatic checkpointing and a new proof-of-work algorithm in an effort to resolve this problem, all of which will be released next week, alongside an updated mining pool, capable of handling larger hashrates. For now, your transactions will not be lost, they might merely take longer than usual to be confirmed.

Effectively, the equivalent of a cryptocoin DDoS attack.
