Sterlingcoin Difficulty Chart

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

What is Sterlingcoin difficulty?

Sterlingcoin 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 Sterlingcoin mining.

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

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

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