Bitcoin mining difficulty

The mining difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to find a hash that is less than or equal to the target hash. The higher the mining difficulty, the higher the number of attempts needed to find a new block.

The mining difficulty is adjusted every 2,016 blocks, or roughly every two weeks. The difficulty is increased if the average time to find a block is less than two weeks, and decreased if it is more than two weeks. The difficulty is a number that regulates how long it takes for miners to add new blocks of transactions to the blockchain. A high difficulty means that it will take longer to generate new blocks, and a low difficulty means that it will take less time.
