BitcoinCash Difficulty Chart

The BitcoinCash difficulty chart provides the current BitcoinCash difficulty (BCH diff) target as well as a historical data graph visualizing BitcoinCash mining difficulty chart values with BCH 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 BitcoinCash difficulty adjustment levels are calculated using the daily difficulty average data points in the BitcoinCash difficulty graph.

What is BitcoinCash difficulty?

BitcoinCash 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 BitcoinCash mining.

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

As you can see in the BitcoinCash difficulty chart above, the BitcoinCash 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 BitcoinCash 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 BCH mining difficulty increases you earn less mining rewards due to the overall increase in the total BitcoinCash network hashrate.

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