Spots Difficulty Chart

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

What is Spots difficulty?

Spots 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 Spots mining.

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

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

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