Mining difficulty

I was wondering if mining difficulty goes down if a coin isn't mined for a while. I was looking at coinwarz, and some coin's difficulty graph appears to be going down over time and I thought it might be because it isn't being mined often. Am I right in thinking that, or is there another reason?

difficulty is based on the rate new blocks are discovered. If enough people stop mining so that it takes longer than 10 minutes on average to find blocks, then yes, difficulty will go down.

Yep, means the coin is dying probably.

True enough! Or it could be dying ..... I'm sure they can't all survive else soon we will have more altcoins than people.

just depends on AMD production capacities
Greedy miners will buy 'em all. The more fanATIcs the more PumpnDumpcoins can live no matter how worthless they will between pumps be.
Of course, i am joking, there must be some purging of many pseudocoins, almost the clones of clones. But some got popular and it will take some time until dust settles and people move to the next "hype" coin leaving the old hype coin falling.

I wonder what % of people actually make money producing pseudocoins? But the same question can be asked of bitcoins given the hashrate.
