So to resume everything, we should keep working on enhancing the coin with a long term plan, which would advertising plan, pushing the coin to as services as possible, getting media recognition (I tried to writte a wikipedia page but there are no "good" references that I could use) this can be easly done, by tiping webmagazines and techsites and stuff like that, just make sure you writte something that may get their attention and make them writte a whole artical about it. Short term would be fixing the coin parameters to solve the issues we are having and with the Difficulty and the most obvious solution for me is to reduce the maximum change factor from x4 to something more realistic (if it is possble code wise but I think it is)


This is pretty much spot on. I think having the diff adjust after every block is a good idea, but basing the next diff on the last 36 blocks does not provide enough protection against 10+ GH/s pools, which right now can find 36 blocks in a matter of minutes and still leave us with high diffs. Using a full 2016 block average as the basis for the adjustment (or limiting each block's diff change to about 1%) would provide better  long-term stability, which is really what we are looking for.
