• Trying to locate an issue in the difficulty simulator that is resulting in non-variable block times.
• Potential issue located where Math.random() is being truncated.. rectifying..
• Issue fixed, another problem found in MedianDiff setting..
• Issue fixed? some static remnants still at top.. trying to find cause..
• Seems to be a problem with pre-loading of constants.. investigating..
• Found a problem with backup of median difficulty value
• Problem traced to confusion with variable name.. "MedianDiff" variable taken to mean Difficulty at the median block when in fact was the Median Difference of Time stamps.
• Problem found with old diff value persisting for 120 blocks instead of 60 blocks..
