Umm, that looks like the current height.
If we can see what the difficulty was at the first block, we can determine how fast blocks were generated. Right now I see one or two blocks a minute with getinfo.
Even with 1 MH, you could probably get hundreds of blocks in an hour, I think.
static CBigNum bnProofOfWorkLimit(~uint256(0) >> 16); // mincoin: starting difficulty is 1 / 2^15
or difficulty = 0.000030517578125
Difficulty adjusts twice per day, to a maximum of
while (nTime > 0 && bnResult < bnProofOfWorkLimit)
{
// Maximum 400% adjustment...
bnResult *= 4;
// ... in best-case exactly 4-times-normal target time
nTime -= nTargetTimespan*4;
}
400%!So if our benevolent preminers went whole hog on the network, the maximum difficulty by block 2880 (when reward went down to 50) would be a whopping
0.0078125!
Show's over, go home folks.
