What could be the reason for POS diff shooting up?
It was inevitable - with last hard fork we reduce number of blocks mined per day 2 times (instead of halving block reward).
So block reward remains the same, number of miners and stacking coins remain about same too, but now all miners compete for 2 times smaller quantity of blocks. diff just reflect this hard competition and jump up.
Its not a big difference - low diff with low block reward(0.5 ORB) or high diff with high block reward(1 ORB). Total number of coins minted per week/month should be approximately the same. But certainly less than it was before the block # 2000 000
It's certainly a nice explanation and a logical conclusion..thanks..Also, is there a way to identify whether the exchanges are not getting POS rewards?
long term, It is therefore again matter
