It was 8:14 PM in here in California, so it was a pretty good for anyone in the Americas or Asia. Not so much for Eastern Europe.
Difficulty is back down to 400. Looks like things are evening out. People sure do panic quickly.
Clearly you don't understand the problem. This isn't the usual "KGW setting diff too high for a short while early on" problem. The linear diff on this is broken. It's only "evening out" at the moment because hashrate is dropping. Any other spikes before KGW will do the same again.
Nobody's panicking. The coin needs fixing and it's best to act quickly.
Obviously someone who hasn't been paying attention.
Seriously, difficulty WILL be that high when so many people are mining it at such high hash-power. Pool owners should have expected it, and I'm sure the dev team expected this to happen, but not to this extent.
KGW is meant to do this, to prevent insta-mining and multi-pools from clogging up the network.

If you think you have it figured out, I'd like to see what you've come up with. Show me what you mean, otherwise, don't post something useless without evidence to back it. It just makes sense.
Data I fixed it
Still don't see it.
