We do not want to end up like Freicoin being kept at a high difficulty for three months.
There have been changes made to difficulty before has caused problems for coins. Because of this I am asking for peer review from one of the most experienced members of this community. We will only implement a safe change.
A difficulty adjust four times faster than Litecoin continues the four times trend between BTC, LTC and FTC. The difficulty adjust is aimed 40%. This will not bring miners rushing back but would encourage some to mine Feathercoin again. Going this route will allow us to avoid becoming a bubblecoin.
