We really need coinex back online 
. Or some other exchange adding the btc-moon pair wich I think is unlikely at the moment because of the volume / price.
Maybe we can add some extra functionality or features to the mooncoin in order to revive it?
I am no developer myself, but how about an algorithm, that scans the profitability just like multipool and keeps the difficulty just below the threshold, so that the multipools don't take over and mine it? That way loyal miners can still mine profitably (maybe not squeezing out the very last coin-profit, sure), but the big coin-hopping crowd is left out of it. I think that would be some kind of unique. MOON seems to have something already, if it constantly shows up on multipools/multiports in terms of profitability. But it could be the first coin to really overcome the burden of this latest development, which pulls each and every coin down (see DOGE) and escape the slavery of multipools. We could be at the forefront with this..

Edit: Just wanted to add, that the multipools are not bad from the ground up, but maybe they need to do something, to give back to the communities. Until then, we have to protect ourselves. On Reddit/Mooncoin someone said, coins have to cope with multipools. And when they survive this, they deserve a long life (something like that). That is basically right. So let's develop something to face the big pools.
And of course it needs to be mentioned, that multipool helped MOON out not so long ago, when we were stuck with high difficulty and unorganic pump-and-dump-price-fall (KGW not yet implemented, which now solved that problem) and the pool-operator was so kind to throw in some hashing-power for a short time to find the next blocks quickly. I assume they themselves are mad about the development at the moment, based on the massive hashing-power, bringing a lot of coins to their knees, not really knowing, what to do. So please, multipool-ops, think about some kind of solution as well. It's all some kind of symbiosis.
I like your idea, however letting something as important as difficulty up to a central authority (coinwars or an exchange) is too risky I think.
I rather thought of the coin's algorithm having implemented something to check that and adapt the difficulty accordingly to just keep below the profitability assumed by the mentioned sites. But in a way, you're right, as those sites can be manipulated too, which in turn could influence this and the dev could not react fast enough, because changing the algo and wallets takes too much time in this regard. Maybe assuming something like an average value, taken from the last days/weeks to calculate the profitability could help?
Do you have another idea?
