Seems that there is an issue with the coin.... i see from the wallet downloaded chain that are some days that are mined more than 10/15 blocks minute, and the difficulty don't retarget stuck on 44....
There is nothing wrong with the coin. All this is by design. The difficulty is adjusting just fine each block. No worries.
The difficulty algorithm has a long term component built in which ensures block generation to keep on track. Also, this protects the network against known difficulty attacks.
Because block generation has been quite sluggish over the past few years, this long term component can have quite an intense result every once in a while. This will become less and less over time.
The main objective here is continued and uninterrupted block generation. This ensures TX capacity at any time you want. Consider this: if the network would have been steadily minting blocks every 45 seconds, it would have been at over 1.75 million blocks by now. We're close to 1 million..
An exchange would be very nice indeed. I'm sure this won't be a problem in the long run though. The coin won't die, so I guess it's just a matter of time.
Solo mined in the previous month and with my power, (also some days i was the only miner, because , i had taken all blocks one after another), the diff was in a range from 40 to 80.
When i entered again (the day i wrote the above message) mining was every 5/10 seconds, and stay fix in difficulty at 44, if i enter and add power the diff after few block have to raise a bit, but didn't happened, and blocks cotinued to be generated at 5/10 seconds and not at 45 seconds, and also me, when discovered a block the 70/80% of them were unconfirmed, stalled, because too rapid block generation.... so the situation(at the time i wrote) was not ok. I don't know now, as after that date didn't open again wallet nor analized blocks.....
But i can assure you, that when i entered there was a couple of days that blocks where at 5/10 seconds and not at 45 seconds, or near that value, as the months before....
