We need people who are willing to spend some BTC(Bitcoin) to buy CryptoNight hashing power on nicehash.com mining BipCoin to keep the BipCoin network stable. If you are interested please open up a nicehash.com account and contact me about setting up the API for automatic order updating. It can be automated to add more hashing power when blocks are taking longer to confirm. I think we should try to keep the block times under 60 minutes.

Is anyone even still working on this project? I was quite excited about the potential here about half a year ago when I discovered BipCoin, and I would consider supporting it via buying some hashing power if necessary, but only if I see that people still care about the project and are working on it, and to be honest I haven't seen sings of that in a long time.
A month ago you mentioned some updates that are in the pipeline. Anything new there?

I did release some new code (3,265 lines) last month (https://github.com/KittyCatTech) that I had been working on for a long time.

However BipCoin needs to have more stable block times before the coin will be usable for commerce. In the last couple weeks I have rewritten my hicehash bot (https://github.com/KittyCatTech/bipcoin-nicehash-bot) to solve this problem and I am now testing and debugging the new changes. I'll publish the updated bot on github once I'm satisfied with the way it's working. But you should be noticing shorter average block times already as I test it.

So I'm looking forward to people (possibly you) opening nice hash accounts and running the bot to keep the block times short. I think this is a much better (market based) solution than adjusting the difficulty algorithm.

There are a few other projects that I'm going to suggest that the community join me in donating to the development of such as: a paper wallet generator, merchant gateway, and online wallet. Join us as we continue our mission to make dark coins fun again.

While it is commendable that you still work on the project instead of just giving up, it is not realistic to expect people to rent hashpower for what looks to be almost 100% loss right now.
I still have not seen a clear explanation why difficulty has failed to adjust properly for months now. I've seen other cryptonight coins with such issues but nowhere near so severe.

Are you sure modifying the difficulty adjustment is not the better approach?
