Actually found a far better way to do it directly from Linux script using curl:

Code:

curl --silent --user user:pass --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://:/ | ./jq '.result | .difficulty')

The output is then piped to jq (a json parser) and the difficulty values extracted ^_^

Hope someone else finds that useful

Thanks all for your feedback, I got Java to parse the JSON from CoinChoose in the end Cheesy

Cheers for the suggestions!

For bitcoin it would be "bitcoind getdifficulty"

Try litecoin get difficulty

You would to code that into your code/call

I may be 100% wrong not a coder

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a quick way to allow a Linux script to get hold of the current network difficulty from a LiteCoin wallet - I have
looked at RPC calls et al but have as of yet not found a (semi-simple) solution.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Many thanks
