Title: Different version, different difficulty (0.3.20.2 vs 0.3.24) Post by: payb.tc on August 01, 2011, 12:53:02 PM sorry i couldn't find this discussed elsewhere yet.
i'm noticing a different difficulty across bitcoin versions. 0.3.20: currently 1,890,361.69014 0.3.24: currently 1,888,786.70535 Just before this latest difficulty change, they were also slightly different from each other. Can someone point to why? i guess the 0.3.24 number is more correct since it's a later version, but why is the older one therefore wrong? just curious i guess, thanks.

The algorithm for calculating the printed difficulty was slightly inaccurate and was changed for a correct one. Since the printed difficulty is for humans only, it's not a big deal.
