You need to update the nodes in the OP.
I have nodes running at:
addnode=45.32.67.42
addnode=108.61.194.182

Updated! I checked all the original nodes and one was still active. If you know of others, please pass them along.
Is there any plan to adjust the difficulty retargeting?
Are there any plans?
block explorer seems to be broken since yesterday 
Fixed
Ok, you fixed the block explorer. What about the faucet you said you were going to setup? I'll donate some coins if you set up a faucet.
It's 0.1 btc to list a coin on yobit. Do I have to pay for it myself? Are are there any other donations?
Speak
What is the problem requiring difficulty re-targeting? We're already using Apt-Curve, which was designed specifically for this coin. I'm not aware of further shortcomings.
I have never heard of yobit. Can anyone else vouch for them being legitimate and not a scam? How long have they been around?
If everyone thinks it's a good idea, I'm supportive of you or someone else starting a donation pot. I will donate some too, although I'm skeptical of this exchange because I've never heard of them. Maybe I'm behind and they're great. Let me know what others think?
