Okay mine connected finally and all I had to do was get rid of the :8333 at the end of the addnode= in the conf file and apparently according to my wallet we are on like block 7 or so

getmininginfo

{
"blocks" : 9,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00100395,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 5486,
"networkhashps" : 3459,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}
I don't understand why I haven't solved even one block yet if my hashespersec are more than the networkhashps? Is that wrong or right?
