It's dead, though you might be lucky and get it to spike when the difficulty goes down and all the ASICs jump back on it.

From the news:

Build 0.1.3-29 Is Available
This is an urgent, mandatory update.
This fix restores short-periods interval averaging, in order to get more realistic difficulty adjustments when the network hashrate goes from 20-30Ghashes/s to 1 or 2 Thashes/s.
This is not the final code, a better algorithm should be implemented soon.
Note that this build will be mandatory on block 101908
Windows download link: sourceforge
Apr 6 2013.

So, sit tight till 101908 and then the real fireworks will start!

starting at block 101640, current diff should be divided by 4 (still due to the 24*30 blocks averaging), 22 more blocks and things should get way faster...

If anyone with a good deal of hashpower is interested I'd throw a bit of TRC down as an incentive to help the coin along.

so that's 300 more blocks?  uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  does that mean 900 more hours at 3hour blocks crazy_rabbit?

No, in 22 blocks, diff should drop massively (as it's still averaged over last 24h timings)

NICEEEEEEEEE  ;D

very glad to hear.  let's offer some bounties for total permanent fix of terracoin, then I think it just might be more inclined to be worth around $10 a coin.  but I am very glad we have the problem fixed, and the solution on its way.

I have received 2 confirmations in the last while on a TRC transfer that I sent 24h ago.  I think that means it's breathing again.  Maybe be back to life soon. 

Everyone needs to stop thinking in minutes and hours.  Start thinking in days, weeks, months....chill out.

Yep, chill out and meanwhile point a small part of your miners at TRC :)

Agreed. This is just a small bump on the road. It should be smooth sailing from here on out when the difficulty drops down.
