Does it mean the more coins are waiting to stake the higher is difficulty?
What is the exact relationship between PoS difficulty and PoW difficulty?

(sorry if these questions are too obvious, but I still have a lot of knowledge to acquire Smiley )

It just means more coins with weight are competing to stake. That is a good thing IMHO. It means more people are interested and participating in staking, and the coin is healthy and more secure as a result. I doubt everyone will optimize their blocks as you've done, so high diff will likely continue. Other popular high-staking coins face a similar situation. It is something we have to accept.

There is no relationship between POW and POS diffs -- they are separate functions -- other than people are interested in acquiring the coin by any means. However, I've noticed the two closely follow each other for, I believe, the same reasons.

Don't apologize. We need to build a good wiki.

Edit: An apology to thundertoe. I just noticed the user guide link on the OP.
