The update to DGW3 has been succesfull, but it looks like it is not the best solution for the blocktime issue. However we don't want to jump to conclusions to quickely, so we will be monitoring this situation closely for a few days. Guldencoin is a longterm project and we are confident that we will eventually find the best solution, with the update we showed we have the community/development strength to execute such an update very smoothly and we can do it again.
Its important that we hear different opinions and discuss ideas/solutions, it is still our number 1 priority. As for the merchants, most of them wont notice these blocktimes as they are using LitePaid, so transactions are done within seconds. So yes our focus is on merchants, but like we said in the beginning thats starts with a strong foundation.
Monitoring and finetuning DGW3 is covered by /GeertJohan. It's in good hands.
Just wondering, isn't there an algorithm for intra block difficulty adjustments?
