You know how there is difficulty adjustments?

Those are like deadlift world records.

Your best difficulty should be higher than the world record to win a block.

Nice analogy. So Bitaxes are a bunch of deadlifters that’ll most likely go their entire life without breaking the world record?

There is a target difficulty you are looking for in order to produce a valid block. It's a number with a T at the end(in Bitaxe at least). The "best difficulty should just be called best guess. It's the closest your miner has been to the target.

So the number really doesn’t matter unless you want to brag that you were close? What’s the M, G, and T stand for? Mega, Giga, Tera hash?
