Yes, but that's the problem of all smaller coins using ASIC algos. Even a few of the latest miners coming on can slow the chain by leaving it at a too high a diff for the usual gear to cope with.
problems is this-
main.cpp (1036)
// Maximum 200% adjustment
per hour bnResult *= 2;
nTime -= 1 * 60 * 60;
}
Well, with a high diff a small miner would have a hard time getting even the first block so that wouldn't be the first problem. I'm not technical enough, but isn't diff usually set up so it needs blocks to adjust? This here is time based, so would it even adjust diff if no block was found? If yes it would be quite good thing even with these rather small 200% per hour range.
