Title: calculate avrg. time to generate a block? (scrypt)
Post by: katoshi on December 17, 2013, 07:04:02 PM
hi!

whats the formula to calculate the average time it will take to generate a block with a given hashrate and difficulty? (for any given scrypt-coin)
do i need any other values?

I just use http://www.litecoinminingcalculator.com/ for Scrypt-based coins, not sure of the exact formula though. I think it is on the Wiki.

thanks, that's good enough for me

seems to be blocks/day = hashrate [KH/s] / (diff *50)
