Will surely direct my 6Mhash/s towards feathercoin again if the retarget gets down a bit.
HOWEVER whats says that this wont happen again. as soon as the diff is around 30 again the network gets flooded with miners, difficulty rises an people abandon ship again...

Surely this has to have some remedy. I know when there was a certain miner pulling 220,000+ it was when the problems started. Then the difficulty went mad, they went back to ltc and left everyone else who has <1000khash/s struggling to make anything.

I have no idea how it works under the bonnet, and I'm mathematically illiterate, so I dunno.. but it seems that's the problem. Is there no way to smooth out the progression so that everyone can take it at a steady pace?

Rather than 1 or 2 people who are really only in it for profit, and who don't care about the intention or other people?

I mean, they float around all the cryptos and only go for what suits them best for maximum profitability..

Again, I dunno.. just feels like it's where the issue is..
