What I suggest is to firstly implement a better difficulty adjust algorithm to protect the chain from potential threat of malicious mining power.
If we can decide the proper algorithm, we can go toward the direction to implement it.

However, I don't like the idea to increase the block size as it's not the necessary thing for Terracoin. It don't need to be popular but it should be secured.


I can agree with this sentiment. The retarget is a little lackluster right now. This could be improved upon. Also, we are still a good bit away from the block halving and there are plenty of TRC that have not yet been mined so I don't see the block reward increase as necessary.

I also agree with sentiment.  Making TRC secure is a prime goal, and we are going to have to hard fork it pretty much no matter what, so let's pick what is best now.  The reason I was suggesting BCT XT was to avoid the community chaos that happened to the BCT community when the the block size did get large enough.  I was under the impression that with the BCT XT code the block size wouldn't double until 75% of the miners "agreed" to it.

What difficulty adjust algorithm would you suggest?

What about the KimotoGravityWell and DarkGravityWave? But I think maybe we should test and play around instead of copy and paste.
Someone can implement it for the testnet first, then we can test for a while to see how it goes?

Did anyone recall how the time-warp attack happened to TRC last time?
