In other words. Currently player can spend max ~32 seconds to solve a puzzle. It happens that block life time is less than this value. But it happens so often that it is impossible without bots. So the coin is dead (or still dead)
First, it should be noted that your assumption about the block time is simply incorrect. The average block time is not less than the TT, and the network is not under any warp.
Second, why do you feel that this coin is "still dead" because there is a bot active? As we have established many times through the course of the thread there will always be bots. The problem is not the presence of some bot, the problem is that there is only ONE bot competing, and not sufficient human mining effort being done (or any additional bots) to keep this bot from dominating hash rate.
If you think this bot is a problem then mine, get others to mine, get a second bot up, or release a public bot. The problem now is nothing to do with this bot and everything to do with a lack of mining competition happening.
The most likely thing that could make this coin "dead" right now would be if this one bot suddenly stopped. This bot is not the problem, it is the thing keeping the chain going in a way that is even close to secure. Right now only this bot operator can 51% attack. If this bot operator stops then *anyone* could 51% attack.
