Even we cannot know the Hole Grail for cryptocurrencies as general. The best thing we can do, and this is the mission of Bitcore too, is, that we experiment with many options. To retarget every 2016 blocks is our belief to bring the BTX as close as possible to the BTC chain. You know, BitCore is here to experiment with the newest stuff from bitcoin team without a long wait for consens what happened in bitcoin.
But BTC and BTX mining is very different — both in hardware used and the kind of people involved. I'm just curious what was the reason behind the change from "re-target every block" to "re-target every 2016 blocks"? If it was like this from the start (every 2016 blocks) then I would probably not even think about it. But it was working fine for some time, and then someone decided that it's a good idea to make diff adjustment every 2016 blocks. I'm trying to understand the logic behind this decision. I suppose it's not like someone just "flipped a switch" out of boredom? There was some thinking before making the change? I'm simply curious about the thought process of the person(s) responsible for this change.
But the best way is, to chat with us in our slack. We already have over 140 members there. So chill in our slack and we talk. :-)
Best for whom?
There's more than 1 million users registered in this forum. And god knows how many different alt currencies are out there. Bitcointalk forum is the first place people go to when looking for information about BTC and alts.. spreading it all over some small slack channels instead doesn't seem like a good idea, at least from the average user's perspective.
