I noticed that the LTC difficulty estimate is jumping around. Are you by chance only basing it on the time for the last block rather than a rolling average?

This one shows -19.35%. A few minutes earlier it was +38%...

I do not use last block or a rolling average. I use the exact calcluation since last diff change. So if you notice that 0.25% in your LTC row that is saying that the measurement at that moment is only based off 0.25 * 2016 blocks. The estimate gets more accurate as more blocks are found. The result is that toward the end it should be more accurate than someone using a rolling block window,

Thanks for the feedback.
