So, my wallet says "Number of transactions:2" but I only have one transaction in my history, a mined block.

What does this mean?  I have seen this before when solo-mining, never understood it.

I bet the diff will drop significantly here in a few hours.  I imagine alot of the "big riggers" will jump onto these coins for a few hours just to get their hands on a bunch of them, on the off-chance they actually end up being worth something later.

I would do the same thing -- if I had the equipment to solo-mine a couple million of these in a few short hours early on, I'd take the chance they might go up to $0.01 later on down the road.  Worth the risk on losing a couple hours of more profitable mining on LTC or others.

Gotten half rejects.  Is this the coins issue?

Can anybody post a sample .conf to solo mine this.  Have only mined in pools and not sure how to set up the start.bat file.  I'm using cgminer.  Thanks
