Title: How to calculate estimated block found time for scrypt currencies?
Post by: mrx on October 23, 2011, 05:18:57 AM
On SHA-256 currencies it's calculated as difficulty*pow(2,32), but what about scrypt currencies like TBX FBX and LTC? still 1 difficulty = 2^32 hashes or something else?

For scrypt, it's the same way to calculate. You can use any online bitcoin mining calculators with Litecoin like this one: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php

So that's the reason these currencies have less than 1 diff?
