might be, but this would not only be a hard fork: all the miners would have to be updated too.
if we only added the superblocks, those mining in a pool wouldn't be affected - only the pool server would have to update the riecoin client.
You are proposing a more aggresive move.

Yes, you're right.

If we were going to change the PoW in such way, we'd better make it accept alternatively 7-tuples, 8-tuples and 9-tuples each with different difficulties, so we could easily break all records every day.

In that scenario would it be possible to accept 6 to 9 tuples?
Or more precisely allow the current miners to keep working on the "old" 6 tuples, while allowing new miners to mine greater tuples? perhaps with a small bonus to give an incentive to upgrade

The appeal of world records is strong Grin
