Ok, we also need protection against gigahash pools jumping in at low difficulties, how can this be done?

We need to put major hashing power into the Catcoin network, right before the difficulty adjustment takes place. I don't know the technical details, but I imagine if we purchase hashing power an estimated 24 hours before the change in difficulty is to occur, it should moderate the adjustment downward, and prevent it from going into miner-dumper bait territory. Also, making the next difficulty adjustment modest, should in turn cause the difficulty adjustment after that to be modest, too, and we may go a long way towards stabilizing the coin, at least until the value goes up significantly.

Anyone have more technical information on at what time interval the measurement is taken, that the difficulty adjustment is based on? And good resources to buy temporary raw hashing power?
