I think something is completely wrong with this coin.

I just built the wallet. And it's already at block 8800 now. I'm also seeing like a block per second getting added.

Now I just noticed this:

Quote
Block target time is 2.5 minutes
re-targets every 2016 blocks

What?? That means the difficulty gets retargetted every 3.5 days. How can that possibly be right?

Unless I'm missing something here, this is a pretty big fail.

The way I see it is that the wallet is just released and has little data to base retarget on and the span for target data as I posted above is huge

I could port my Blakecoin diff algo to it as I designed that to avoid issues like this but the diff is increasing very very slowly 0.00390625 > 0.00589282  Roll Eyes
