On the day 2, so far 4305 blocks are proposed in comparison to 3330 blocks on December 1 (since the launch). There are 170 missed and 11 orphaned blocks on December 2 and 280 missed and 6 orphaned blocks on December 1. This shows that the number of proposed blocks are increasing while the number of orphaned blocks is decreasing.
