And then the multipools will come back.. multipools can kill an altcoin.. ramp diff up and sell sell sell
It really looks that AUR coin developer(s) do not know what they are doing. (because they have wait so long time before implement KGW. It was FIRST time one big pool hop to AUR and immediately can undrstand what need do - aggressive and fast mode of KGW - but what they do - nothing. It is good that they have some kind of "wakeup" and after 5400 it is coming - but I afraid - adjustments still wrong - but lets see..)
Difficulty adjustment do not work well with big profit switching pools. And very very soon it come more bad after big amount of 0.1 - 0.5 Thash ASIC's are running and scanning over Scrypt alt coins.
You need set coin to profit multipool's resistant. (as all scrypt altcoins need do)
Dr Kimoto Grawity Well (KGW) need set very aggressive and fast (fast rise and fall time) mode (some time ago it looks like it was fast rise slow falling mode). It need be as fast to both - positive and negative direction. To undrerstand this dynamics need that coin developer team do some home works. Just with rule: learn first theory and after then use it for practice.
This is one reason why I stop mining this coin.

In some place someone tell that Litecoin do not use KGW.
Oh well - when 10Ghash switch to Litecoin, it is like drop in sea.
But when 10Ghash jumps to coin where current net total hashrate is 1G or somethink even less...
Very soon these jumping fast profit fishing pools may have many tens or hundreds of Gigahashes. And they do not care anything but fast profit. They do not care 51% rule... all good practices are "so what" for these peoples.
Situation is going soon much more bad.
After some weeks - months there are coming Tera hashes for scrypt.
KnCminer, alone, is just one.. soon they relase to markets total more than 250Ghash (and this is small).
And soon there is many others coming with more and more Ghashes, or better say Terahashes.
These all hashing power to some couple of profit switching multipools and good nigh...if there is not any protection.
