Seems that there is an issue with the coin.... i see from the wallet downloaded chain that are some days that are mined more than 10/15 blocks minute, and the difficulty don't retarget stuck on 44....
There is nothing wrong with the coin. All this is by design. The difficulty is adjusting just fine each block. No worries.
The difficulty algorithm has a long term component built in which ensures block generation to keep on track. Also, this protects the network against known difficulty attacks.
Because block generation has been quite sluggish over the past few years, this long term component can have quite an intense result every once in a while. This will become less and less over time.
The main objective here is continued and uninterrupted block generation. This ensures TX capacity at any time you want. Consider this: if the network would have been steadily minting blocks every 45 seconds, it would have been at over 1.75 million blocks by now. We're close to 1 million..
An exchange would be very nice indeed. I'm sure this won't be a problem in the long run though. The coin won't die, so I guess it's just a matter of time.
