According to some users, an email was already sent to TRC mailinglist announcing the upcoming update, returning to a standard bitcoin retarget.

I actually forked TRC on a repo, to put back a BTC target system into it.

the more voters, the more curious i get about final results

not quite sure about what would be the best choice though.

hrm i guess i can close this poll (we have a draw!), https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin/issues/14 was updated over night:

ok, will definitely forget any per block retargetting, it would cause too many problems (convergence/...), and TRC really needs to get more stable now.

testnet now retargets every 9 blocks, using timings from the last 108 blocks. Every retarget is limited to +/- 1/12th.

Livechain will retarget at 180 blocks intervals (6hours) using timings from the last 2160 blocks (3days). Every single retarget is limited to 1/12th.

pushing code and will later build/publish a dev windows build.
now "ramping up" testnet and doing a few tests.

and finally:

will test this for 1 or 2 days on testnet before merging code up (release then master branches), will then release code with choosen block height for the switch over.

dev-0.1.3-143 published with active testnet code.

Sounds good, wouldn't mind seeing the block rate halved down to 1min. or less, whatever the threshold is were stales start to rise. So BTC-e with their 100 confirms don't take as long. It's a good opportunity for TRC to become a faster transaction SHA256 coin.
