Difficulty
Re-targets every 250 blocks: 250 blocks until re-target insures accurate difficulty adjustments while almost eliminating the risk of difficulty stranding.
Is this some kind of joke ? lol
Clearly you know that anyone can solo mine or pool mine with major hashrate for those 250-500 blocks and make the difficulty stick for pretty much forever for the normal everyday miners.
This difficulty adjustment is so 2013 ancient, back then network hashrates weren't strong enough to even realize this major flaw in network growth & hopping hence the continuous difficulty adjustment upgrades, e.g KGW, DGW, DGW2, DGW3, DigiShield, etc.
Well yes it is so 2013 right enough, that's why we need a wallet upgrade!
The wallet has not been updated since 2014, and one of the things we want to get done is a KGW type Continuous Difficulty Adjustment.
Did i mention the coin had died?
It was actively traded until Cryptsy threw a cog and went into oblivion.
The reason we are still using this archaic wallet is so that the coin does not die altogether, It would be almost impossible to revive if all mining were to stop.
As it was it took a bit to get going again considering the block-chain had not moved in over 45 days.
