Xivra is gaining momentum .. nice to see, but I have been growing a bit worried about the difficulty rising..

over the last few days it has even been one of the most profitable coins to mine, and we can count ourselves lucky that it is still somewhat of a secret tip. But when the time comes and sites like cryptsy, coinwarz or coinchoose pick it up (and that can´t be too far away, the way it is going), the big pools will pick it up and then we will face a problem other coins have experienced already.

Xiv´s have a rather slow difficulty adjustment time. Which is nice, as long as the network is steadily rising and makes for much more predictable results. The Problem arises as soon as a big mining pool "rapes" the coin, as long as it´s difficulty is low. On the next adjustment, diff. then rises to unheard of heights, the pool leaves and we small miners are left with picking up the pieces. Same happened for example to the Franko a while ago, which had a 6 hour diff. adjustment time. Big pools came in, raped it and pushed the diff. so high, that after leaving it took the rest of the network days, not 6 hours, to reach the next adjustment. That´s why they now implemented the Gravitiy well.

I think that could be a good idea for Xivra as well. In the beginning, we wouldn´t feel the effects, as long as the network stays stable. But it would possibly deter the big Multipools from raping the low difficulty.

It all is better explained here:

What do you guys think?

I agree. KGW should be implemented now rather then later after the big pools pushed up the difficulty rating. All new coins should have KGW implemented at the start. It's currently the best way to create stable coins.
