It adjusted to 181.54 a few minutes ago. Typical time to get a block is about a week now.
The difficulty can adjust down as well as up.
The network should be generating close to 6 blocks per hour now.
Yeah, I’ve noticed the “10 second blocks” are gone, replaced with 419 and 741 second block generation with no more in the last 20 minutes. That should keep those server farms on hold for a while Wink
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but now that block generation is taking a lot longer, doesn’t that mean that the lucky person who got the block is going to take a lot longer to be verified by the network that he/she was the winner before they could ever spend it?
