Title: Real time difficulty of Altcoins
Post by: Vokas123 on September 22, 2017, 01:31:48 PM
Anyone know free site where i have difficulty of Altcoins in a real time? I'm wondering where all these pools take difficulty from?

I know there is Coinwarz site that has API but it's free until 1000 requests and I need more. Whattomine also has an API for this but a lot of coins are missing. API from any pool is not in real time.

Any advice? Thanks.

Pools get it from the wallet.

Use getmininginfo to see for yourself if you have the wallet running.

You mean like separate wallet for each coin? No, I don't have. Any other option?

Use the block explorers and other sources like that. That is where the sites are getting the info from, the wallets themselves and API calls to the wallet and chain. You could push the request through a browser on many coins and others, just use the wallets to pull the diff.
