Testnet difficulty calculation changes, to take effect Jan 1 2012

Allow mining of min-difficulty blocks if 20 minutes have gone by without mining a regular-difficulty block.
Normal rules apply every 2016 blocks, though, so there may be a very-slow-to-confirm block at the difficulty-adjustment blocks (once per month, assuming testnet is in it's normal "difficulty too high for number of people mining it" state).

This will almost certainly cause a testnet blockchain split after Jan 1. After pulling I'll update the Testnet Faucet, I'll ask theymos if he can update the testnet block explorer bitcoind.

I didn't implement any "shun blocks from the future" or "prefer blocks with more memory-pool transactions", I want to see how well the simplest-thing-that-might-possibly-work solution works first.

Thread necromancers unite!  

Bumping this thread up to eventualy get attention of dumbass who mined like 5k blocks in last day or two and is still mining at insane speed.

I just wasted 20 minutes of my time reading through this thread without noticing how old the posts are.

Seriously though, be nice with the testnet and don't sell testnet coins 

I think I'm entitled for some shameless self-promotion. Get your free test coins from:
