Re: [ANN][ANC] Anoncoin (anoncoin.net) | Privacy-centric currency

This is a Scrypt coin, obviously nothing was changed has to how much the hashrate and proof of work target are related to maintain the targetspacing for a typical average network hashrate.

If you want to use a value for your Scrypt multipool automatic switching to the most profitable coin, I leave it to yourself to calculate the best profitability vs other coin. All the difficulty values are in fact not comparable already, being different for different target spacing, and to use the reciprocal of anoncoin difficulty in your jumping script is not difficult. I will not help you further for that as we prefer to support the long term miner over multipools, and also because I do not see what issue you have in this.

So after block 555 555 we'll see the standard difficulty number or will it still be between 0 and 1? How do we get a comparable scrypt difficulty?

The standard difficulty will from now on be always between 1 and 0. This is what the PID is programmed to use, and is the target requested by the block at the tip.
1 is the lowest difficulty.
The more leading zero there is after the decimal separator, the more difficult it is to find a block.
The lower the significant figure, at constant number of leading zero, the more difficult it is.
Difficulty zero will never happen, but could be displayed if hashrate reach thousands of GH/s, because in fact the difficulty as displayed by getdifficulty is just a troncated representation of the minimum hexadecimal target to find the block at the tip of the chain, which is a 256 bit number.

I am sure people will get habituated, meanwhile just use the reciprocal, ie 1/difficulty to get an idea.

Otherwise, your miner program will display the difficulty in the reciprocal format.

Ok... so to compare ANC difficulty to other scrypt coins?
