Started solo mining, solved like 10 blocks very quickly and then it appears they all immediately got orphaned as they are no longer in my transactions list... Now I've got two GPUs pointed at my local client and am not seeing the share count increment at all, though neither complains of connection problems. i0guild is essentially down for me too so wtf?
It's basically a network latency game now. BTC Guild should win this race simply because they have got more hashing power than anybody else and when the chain forks, their version will override everybody else's because they will confirm their own before they would even see anybody else's.
