Title: How do you find the target and reward from the client?
Post by: senseless on December 19, 2013, 06:14:07 AM
I was wondering if there was an easy way to detect the block target time and the block reward from a random crypto wallet? There doesn't seem to be a command in any of these wallets to easily get the target and current block reward. As some coins in the past have changed targets, and others in the past have changed rewards... I would like to be able to collect this information automatically rather than manually.

Thanks in advance.

There is no command in bitcoin implementation (which other coins inherited already) to give this information.

But Since these details wont change by time, you can find them and enter them in a local database for future use.
