[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[xsoft]

Hello,
simple question: How is current Monero DIFFICULTY calculated?

I can't find or Google any suitable answer (forum, web, official web/form...). Question is about figuring out how is diff. balance made on Monero. I guess that there isnt any gravity algo. More or less it seems to scenerio like: take 2000 block, cut 20% from both sides, calculate average, estamine next diff. to target 2 minutes per block.

Is there any article covering this question? It is kinda essential for tomorrows fork. When some hash power will vanish, then how long it will take for network (how many time or block) to adapt back with lower amount of miners.

Thanks.

Tuesday, February 5, the Zcash Company, the for-profit company in charge of maintaining the cryptocurrency Zcash, made a shocking revelation: It had acted in secret to fix a software bug that would have given an attacker the means to create “fake” Zcash.

Also this:

It's basically just a simple moving average of the last 720 blocks with 120 most outlying values discarded I think.

Monero is the only project with no escrow , no premine,  no thing..  The reason i bought monero cuz of the genuine team.. unlike zcash which looks more centralized and a greedy team called electric company lol they are trying to look like ripple now 
Monero surely deserves #1 Spot its truly decentralized crypto.

Features:
- email notifications of workers down
- stats and hashrate chart per worker
- PPS reward scheme (pps income granted for each valid share, payable balance increases every hour)
- income history of last 24h, of each day of last 7 days, unmatured incomes
- payment id, integrated address, subaddress supported
- adjustable payment threshold
- every port supports secure SSL/TLS connection as well as insecure one
- static diff supported, see static diff calculator
- multiple daemons, to prevent downtime in case of daemon stuck
- height checks, to prevent mining on forked chain

- ports: 3331 (cpu), 5551 (gpu), 7771 (rig)

PPS fee: 0.9%

Location: Europe (Asia and North America planned)

We have tested autoswitching mining apps, so they can be used right now and will work after the fork:
- xmrig 2.14.1 supports autoswitch from V9 to V10 with --variant -1
- xmr-stak 2.10.0 supports autoswitch from V9 to V10 with "currency" : "monero"

Welcome & Lucky Mining!

We've recently added Monero Network Hashrate and Difficulty charts. Let's have a look how the FPGA's and ASIC's will be kicked out from XMR mining again -> click on the graph below ↓↓↓

I'm about to install CLI only.  How do you check the hash?

What miner gives the most hashrate and shares for AMD please?

How much hash should my RX 580 8GB MSI Armor make?

My cards now have Eth BIOS and Straps, should I get the original bios for this new algo or it is irrelevant?

Could you please send some OC and undervolt tips?

Thanks!

does anyone know if they coded in a difficulty drop on fork activation?

does anyone know if they coded in a difficulty drop on fork activation?

I don't think so. So it is slow at first but the difficulty will adjust naturally.

[realcryptomines]

soooo, slow....

[dEBRUYNE]

Patience is required, but eventually the difficulty will adjust properly. Expect slow block times for the next 24-48 hours.
