Title: Coin Difficulty
Post by: DirtyWilly on December 12, 2013, 10:49:37 PM
How do you determine a coin's difficulty?  Is there a way to use cgminer with the wallet to figure this out?

The profitability websites and block explorers never seem to be accurate or up to date.

Difficulties for some of these coins change by the minute, this is not something advertised on most of the coin's websites.

Is there a command or formula (block x total hash for example) to determine the current difficulty for a given coin?

qt wallets of altcoins shows current difficulty, or use command
getdifficulty
It returns the proof-of-work difficulty as a multiple of the minimum difficulty
