Had some weird problems with miners messing around with block timing to mine at high rate with lower difficulty.

These two miners mined block with 5 minute difference,  producing blocks every second with low difficulty from the blockchain.
Digishield update difficulty after each block, but I think blocks with earlier time was messing with it's 60 seconds window of hash rate calculation.

The blockchain code was based on Dogecoin code.
