Haha, wow. Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: kostagr33k on August 11, 2013, 03:22:13 AM Did you get that from a specific site? or your own stats? I've been looking into the the last two days, and I see from 8 minutes, until this point at about 6 minutes.
Id like to create my own graphing for these but have to setup a server to do so. kosta Title: Re: Weird block times.

I've been looking into the the last two days, and I see from 8 minutes, until this point at about 6 minutes. These were taken from the https://blockchain.info homepage.Id like to create my own graphing for these but have to setup a server to do so. kosta When I clicked that link to check it, I was greeted with this: https://i.imgur.com/TE9MPsE.png Those ASICs are really killin' it. A HUGE difficulty spike is coming. Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: Jaxkr on August 11, 2013, 04:10:16 AM It looks normal to me. Really? The target is 10 minutes.Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: chriswilmer on August 11, 2013, 04:47:46 AM The difficulty is projected to jump 30% in a day or two. Maybe it will even jump by 35%... craziness.
Sometimes I wonder if the world in 20 years will be full of bitcoin miners in everything. Rooftops, sidewalks, mountains... all mining bitcoins. Aliens will come visit us to find the human race strangely obsessed with counting its money. Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: kostagr33k on August 11, 2013, 09:38:35 PM Thanks @Jaxkr I thought you had a different chart somewhere. I just use the API but its not historical (unless the API offers that too, Id like to know where)

Post by: kostagr33k on August 12, 2013, 02:29:12 AM Yes it is. Unfortunately I don't know how that average is done. IF its just for the current difficulty or a longer period.

Check this out: https://i.imgur.com/oN6sVvo.png According to blockchain.info blocks #271704 and #271705 are both slightly older than #271703 Hmm... Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: BurtW on November 27, 2013, 03:59:32 AM Just use this graph:
http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty All you need to know about dif Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: ktorn on November 27, 2013, 05:36:24 AM In the case of my screenshot it's more about block timestamps being out of order.
If a block builds on its predecessor in the chain, surely its timestamp should be after the timestamp of the predecessor. Then again, I've just read about a block whose timestamp was "in the 1970s", so I guess the block timestamps do not need to follow chronologically. So I guess with the rapid increase of hashrate, these out-of-order block timestamps will be more common just before dif is ajusted. Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: Lauda on November 27, 2013, 05:50:32 AM This is interesting, although I've already noticed it on the confirmation times.
Title: Re: Weird block times. Post by: bitcoinpsftp on November 27, 2013, 05:58:28 AM Quick question. If everyone was to stop mining, would difficulty go down? What I'm asking is, can difficulty go down, or can it only go up?

What I'm asking is, can difficulty go down, or can it only go up? Off-topic, but yes difficulty can go down. It adapts every 2016 blocks, to maintain the 1 block every 10 minutes average. |
