I've been mining IFC only for a while, and all the coin hopping has really fucked the coin up (as well as other alt coins with an average low hash rate). It happened again just a few minutes ago. Network hashrate was around 20 MH, difficulty finally fell to 0.83 or so, and then in a few minutes the network hash rate skyrocketed to almost 2 GH, bringing difficulty up with it. Now the coin hoppers will leave, network hash rate will go back to what it was before and we constant miners will have to spend hours finding blocks very slowly until the next difficullty retarget, when the whole thing will happen again, in a vicious circle. Starcoin's difficulty retargets every block, and I agree with the other miners who are complaining - unless IFC's difficulty retargetting changes, there will be less and less constant miners and the coin will eventually die or become irrelevant.


Seriously, are you even mining your own coin?
