It is very unfortunate that the failure was in wait for a coin at the start, an interesting idea and a good algorithm for mining - it remains to add a little luck .... but ...
It seems to me that the Mining is getting better and the difficulty more balanced!!!
I checked BlakeStar and they had 1 block being mined for 36 Hours and other blocks for hours as well. This may be due to one person mining at full hashrate and than they stop before the block is mined!!!
