Auroracoin Difficulty Chart

The Auroracoin difficulty chart provides the current Auroracoin difficulty (AUR diff) target as well as a historical data graph visualizing Auroracoin mining difficulty chart values with AUR difficulty adjustments (both increases and decreases) defaulted to today with timeline options of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and all time.

The Auroracoin difficulty adjustment levels are calculated using the daily difficulty average data points in the Auroracoin difficulty graph.

What is Auroracoin difficulty?

Auroracoin mining difficulty determines how difficult it will be to mine the next block and this is why it is referred to as the difficulty of Auroracoin mining.

Auroracoin difficulty is a measure of how many hashes (statistically) must be generated to find a valid solution to solve the next Auroracoin block and earn the mining reward.

As you can see in the Auroracoin difficulty chart above, the Auroracoin Difficulty makes adjustments often.

Furthermore, the mining difficulty also keeps the block generation in line with the set block time, or the amount of time that should statistically pass between each block.

As more hashing power is added to the Auroracoin mining network, the difficulty must increase to ensure blocks are not being generated too quickly.

In order for the blocks to be generated consistently, the difficulty must be increased or decreased, this is called a difficulty re-target.

On a difficulty re-target block (every block or every number of blocks), the difficulty is increased if the previous blocks where generated faster than the specified block time and decreased if the previous blocks where generated slower than the specified block time.

All that said, given a constant hashrate, when the AUR mining difficulty increases you earn less mining rewards due to the overall increase in the total Auroracoin network hashrate.

Given, the frequent changes in Auroracoin difficulty adjustments up and down, use our Auroracoin mining calculator to calculate Auroracoin mining profits.
