Diff is the highest its ever been, and rightfully so (thank you presstab). This is done to control inflation and help the price rise. It you want to stake at 10-11 days use 6000 coin blocks.

6000k block at this point is a bad idea IMO. I hit max award on day 9 and I'm still waiting. Recommend 4000k block in case anyone is wondering what to do.
