What exactly does "difficulty" mean?
This page says that difficulty "is the probability of ..." But this is complete nonsense, because the probability cannot be more than one. Help me figure out what is a "difficulty" in Kaspa?
I'm trying to find out the difficulty using kaspactl GetBlockDagInfo
. There is a formula that says that the expected number of hashes we need to calculate to find a block with difficulty D
is D * 2**48 / 0xffff
. This formula works for Bitcoin, but gives absurd results for Kaspa.
