Ixcoin Difficulty Chart

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

What is Ixcoin difficulty?

Ixcoin 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 Ixcoin mining.

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

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

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