You and everyone else do understand that there is one coder on this issue, right?  There isn't a difficulty problem.  There is a miner problem.  We're changing the difficulty algorithm to address multipools.  Right now we use the same difficulty algorithm Litecoin uses. Read: The code is identical in regards to difficulty.

Bottom line: It isn't broken, so "fix" is not the right word.  We have a better implementation coming, but we've already stated when it will be released.  FUD and trolling won't get it published any faster.

Apologies if I'm starting to sound harsh, but it does get tiring answering the same questions and comments over and over again.  Especially considering how little sleep I've managed to get since the launch of this coin.  DifficultyShield remains on track for release in 1.1.0-pre tomorrow.  Not tonight.  Tonight, I sleep.
