How to calculate litecoin difficulty

[kujaff]

Hi

I'm trying to use the litecoind daemon, to get some litecoin infos. Like the difficulty

But i don't understand how to read it ... When i call litecoind getdifficultry now, i have "0.09034463", which is not the difficulty shown on litecoin's calculators (near 3507).

I've seen a formula here : https://litecoin.info/Difficulty , but i don't understand how to read it ... don't know what "2**32" means (** ??), and how to get "target".

Can i get 3507 (current real difficulty) with the daemon directly, or if i can't, how can i get it ?

Thanks !

As I understand it.


Block Reward/(difficulty*2^32)/(cardhash*1000)/3600/24

Block Reward = the coins reward for finding a block. In the instance of litecoin it's 50.
Difficulty = current difficulty, which I believe is 3508
2^32 = 4,294,967,296
cardhash = the khash that your card(s) can do. Like a 280x can do 750 khash/s for example.
1000 = the conversion from khash to hash/s.
3600 = how many seconds are in an hour
24 = how many hours are in a day.

so using those examples:

50/(3508*4,294,967,296)/(750*1000)/3600/24 = 50/(15,066,745,274,368)/(750,000)/3600/24)=.22 Litecoin per day.

Hope that's what you're looking for. If not someone may get use out of it.

Hi, and thanks for your answer

But my problem is to calculate the "Difficlty" part of your formula.
