Comment on Show HN: I made a site that lets you bet against Bitcoin Hash Rate Volatilityparent

Comments

Difficulty is divisible to many digits:

https://blockexplorer.com/q/getdifficulty shows current difficulty at 189281249.28103

Actually, we're using Network Hash Rate rather than difficulty. Difficulty changes every ~2 weeks.

This is the API endpoint we're polling is https://blockchain.info/q/hashrate

Hash Rate is an inferred number though. See http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/11139/how-is-the-...

Aha! I should read more carefully.
