Lot of orphan  

Yes. When it's at difficulty 1, there seems to be mostly orphans. When it switches any higher, much less orphans.

Doesn't seem to be up yet. Not that it's needed at 1 difficulty currently. I might get a P2P pool set up later on, too.

If my maths are right, rewards drop at block 700800, might be a while.

Hashing away.
EDIT: Everything seems good. Climb aboard, miners.
EDIT2: Difficulty finally ramping up, pool is now a decent idea.

[Sampey]

Difficulty retargets every block (exponentially) based on last 160 blocks

Can you explain this retarget?
Thanks
