That's like 1 block every 3 mins for half an hour.
Discussion
Halvening sooner 🤔
And the next block will be mined in ~10 minutes 😁
2 pages of block alerts 🤣
Do they pay the miners now to print blocks faster? 🤣
Remind me, how often is the difficulty adjustment altered?
I was listening to a pod the other day and they were discussing the difficulty adjustment and I remember thinking it wasn’t as often as I had previously thought it to be.
Every 2016 blocks, which would take 2 weeks of the average block time was 10 mins.
