Topic: difficulty calculation (Read 600 times)
It does, go search for "timewarp attack" for the implications.
I thought it was inclusive?
If the next difficulty is calculated from the past 2016 blocks, does this mean that the time interval between the 2016th block and 2017th block is irrelevant?
Example:
block 2016's difficulty is based on the interval between blocks 0-2015
block 4032's difficulty is based on the interval between blocks 2016-4031
Does this mean that the interval between blocks 2015 and 2016 is unaccounted for?
Example:
block 2016's difficulty is based on the interval between blocks 0-2015
block 4032's difficulty is based on the interval between blocks 2016-4031
