Title: difficulty formula, solomining in a -qt client
Post by: drakoin on December 22, 2013, 01:12:27 PM
I am trying out different things, to understand it better.

Solomining in a -qt client, and help ... debug ... console
setgenerate true
getmininginfo

I get this:
"difficulty" : 0.35722852
"hashespersec" : 1222

Now I am wondering if anyone can explain the maths to me ... with that difficulty, and hashrate, what is the expected time until I find coins? How do I calculate the (difficulty, hashrate, time) relation?

Thx
