Thanks a lot for getting back, and for readiness to help!
Nice to see the coin is alive and is doing well with you backing that. Since my last post, the situation have changed a bit, the PoW diff lowered to about 5-6, and I can actually see in block explorer few blocks with such difficulty, though they are very rare. Looks like the most blocks found are PoS blocks, and PoW blocks are an extreme rarity. What still confuses me, is the list of PoW blocks shown here:
http://scrypt.ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=mdc. Here is the excerpt from that list at the moment:

According to this info, some of the PoW blocks found on the iSpace.co.uk pool, have PoS diffuculty (0.00181484), and smaller amount (1.265479)
. But probably that is just a permanent glitch in iSpace.co.uk data display..?
Regarding the staking - thanks for info, it was really confusing, as I got used to the staking icon displayed in every other coin's wallet. MedicCoin looks to be the only staking coin without staking icon in wallet... As to me, this icon is very useful btw, I often look there to see the network weight, and to estimate how much time I need to keep wallet open to stake a block (I don't keep wallets open 24/7 on my PC).
The community is quiet, but there are folks mining this coin on iSpace from time to time, and the PoW hashrate is still around 200Mhs, which is great for the coin, but is not so great when I think of mining it a little bit
. As PoW blocks are rare and hashrate is high, there is almost no way to get the coin other than buying on Cryptopia exchange, there the MDC market is surprisingly active regardless of the lack of activity here on the forum. Actually this also is strange to me - pretty active coin with almost no activity on BCT forum... Is there any other place folks use to communicate on this coin?
