What is Ethereum difficulty? Ethereum difficulty or network difficulty is a key value for every cryptocurrency. Ethereum Network difficulty is the difficulty of a problem that miners must solve to find a block. The more miners are mining Ethereum the more difficult it is to find the block to be rewarded. What Is Mining? How is network difficulty measured? Network difficulty is a value.
It shows how many times on average miners should calculate a hash function to find a cryptocurrency block. Every cryptocurrency has the preset average block find time managed by a network. If the number of miners increases, the network hashrate goes up. The effective block find time becomes lower than the preset value. As a result, the network gradually increases its difficulty, that is, the difficulty of a problem that miners are solving. The network will keep increasing it until the block find time reaches the preset value.
One important distinction between original and classic is that while Ethereum has planned from the start to always move away from PoW, Ethereum Classic will differentiate itself by maintaining its affinity for it. Part of this reason could be that the Ethereum Classic developers want their chain to hopefully inherit a significant portion of the mining hash rate that is currently dedicated to Ethereum. This is especially true after the recent launch of Ethash-compatible ASIC miners were released by Bitmain earlier this year.
These devices will be in many ways forced to mine Ethereum Classic unless another, more profitable alternative is available , and thus could help to speed up and secure the chain. There is even some evidence that ASIC mining increases coin prices, though this is not always inevitable. They feel that such a move would be pointless and maybe even destructive. Successful fork! The ETC Cooperative official Twitter account made an announcement not long ago stating that the fork was successful.
The main purpose of the fork was of course to introduce new code for Ethereum Classic in which there is no difficulty bomb present. This means that mining can continue as normal and in accordance with all of the recent ECIP plans. The plan to remove the bomb is ECIP A few hours after the fork, the ETC Cooperative announced that block times have improved from 22 seconds to 14 seconds and the network hash rate has increased.
Prices for ETC coins have been seeing a general downward trend since the massive price pump at the end of last year. So far prices do not appear to have moved in any significant way since the fork was completed. Now that the difficulty bomb is out of the way, Ethereum Classic developers will be focusing on their latest virtual machine or VM implementation called Sputnik, as well as on development for sidechain support.
Sidechains are a separate blockchain that keeps in sync with Ethereum Classic and can potentially allow for some useful features like mutability, which corporations would certainly need for privacy reasons. For example, if they needed to delete sensitive personal data, or the data of former customers or employees.
This kind of flexibility could make ETC an attractive choice for privacy companies. And so while prices may not have responded immediately to the fork, this could also be a good sign.

That being, the confidence of ETC holders has not been shaken, and the price solidity clearly demonstrates this.

Robert is News Editor at Blockonomi. The difficulty bomb, as you might know, is a protocol level algorithm that increases the amount of computational power required to find a block after a set date or block number. The big spike there in saw the difficulty bomb kick-in around March-April of that year, with it rising from 14 seconds a block to about 30 seconds in October, that being six months.
For the second time it kicked in around December , it reached 20 seconds in February, or just two months of the difficulty bomb running. At the beginning, the difficulty bomb starts very slowly, but eventually it becomes exponential to the point it is pretty much impossible to find a block. From above, we can expect it to take around six months to reach 30 seconds, that being around May, and then maybe not quite six months but by autumn next year it may near 1 minute per block.
At 30 seconds, the block reward slightly more than halves. At 1 minute it halves again, so there would be just 4, eth a day. So it may be the case the difficulty bomb this time is not delayed at all. That would give miners quite an incentive to not only stay out of any interference with development — like ProgPoW suggestions — but to proactively support ethereum 2.
So rational thinking from miners should lead to them not minding this difficulty bomb, but the other effect of it is less capacity because the amount of data in a block is limited, and such blocks will be rarer.
EIP moves up the detonation date of that difficulty bomb by six months to December. Once it goes off, it will essentially make ethereum. Ethereum's “Difficulty Bomb” refers to the increasing difficulty level of puzzles in the mining algorithm used to reward miners with ether on its blockchain. Baked into ethereum shortly after the network launched, the difficulty bomb was created to make mining a block increasingly difficult over.
