Well it has been a little over 100 blocks but even the current system of looking 576 blocks into the past would work just fine if the coin had a reasonable sized network that was pretty stable. The coin would find it's sweet spot in time.
The real problem is miners chasing the high profitability of whatever the coin of the hour may be. This problem is endemic across the entire market.
I really don't want to hard fork it again as it won't really change anything other than the speed at which it goes from one extreme to the other. I may just leave it as is.
As you say, it may be an idea to ask Sal002 to remove it from coinchoose until the network has time to find it's feet.

Since this is the second time this has happened recently, perhaps you still have it looking back too many blocks... look at all the other coins that have had this massive hash rush thru the past weeks and recovered fine... just a thought but I can't think of many coins that have been hamstrung by this problem, and are still a viable coin.
for example franko had this kind of massive hash- and difficulty swings without harm and without any updates/changes to the client ....
