Doesn't make a difference, shitcoin being insta-mined, you're going to get 75% rejects.

We didnt want to do difficulty on adjustments on every block because of the multipool / pool hopping to most profitable coin problems associated with those difficulty adjustments.  If you don't like the coin, don't be part of it.  This is for FUN anyway - read what the coin is about before you troll?

Having a long difficulty adjustment just makes the pool hopping problem worse though.  When the difficulty is low, someone can jump in and insta-mine a lot of blocks before the difficulty catches up (which is what is happening right now).  Then when the difficulty finally does catch up and some of the miners leave, you are stuck at a high difficulty with long block confirmations (e.g. 1 hour+ per block, and it takes 2016 blocks to retarget).  Catcoin had this exact problem and they had to do a hardfork to fix the difficulty.
