Pump and dump make a  coin ran out of hashrate when the diff was too high compare to the price. However with coin that has fast retarget like Florin Coin would that make it less likely get pnd? After the horde leave, diff will go down very fast and make mining profitable again.

actually, you have to balance scarcity with the difficulty changes. If a coin is plentiful with frequent changes, people will continue to flashmine. But if it rare and manages to get a good price, quick changes in diff wont affect much. People mine for value, and as more people are using crypto switcher and other such programs, they are almost always mining the top three.

 Grin come mine Noirbits while we are still free of flashmining.

if you want something like this look at TRC, but it fails pretty hard
