Any thoughts on filtering out difficulties <1? Typically all of these are difficulties for MNs and can really skew the averaging.

Can you give me and example? I already filter difficulties <=0

DNR. There were a few I'll start paying more attention to the ones Ive seen issues with but this is the first that comes to mind.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dnr/

Edit: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/lux/ lux also has a smiilar issue. It appears cryptoid states its "Proof of Stake" is that readable by the API and possibly just filter out the PoS difficulties?

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bsx/

Code:

"lux":{"name":"LUXCoin","PoW":"PHI1612","PoS":true,"height":216392,"diff":19345.09722316,"supply":4365069.83441702,"ticker":{"btc":0.00071199}}

Code:

"dnr":{"name":"Denarius","PoW":"Tribus","PoS":true,"height":680637,"diff":0.00434532,"supply":2555492.0159293,"ticker":{"btc":0.00024606}}

Code:

"bsx":{"name":"bitspace","PoW":"NIST5","PoS":true,"height":81095,"diff":0.05923982,"supply":9096070.44473688,"ticker":{"btc":6.02E-7}}

This is from the chainz.cryptoid.info API.. are you saying those low diffs are actually PoS diffs from recently staked blocks?

Exactly, for LUX for example:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/lux/ if you go there, you will see there is a column to the right that says that its "Proof of Stake" with a difficulty of 4

Same with DNR:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dnr/ .002 shows for the difficulty and to the right it says "Proof of Stake"

It appears we may be able to utlized the "PoS": true portion to determine if the coin at least has PoS and if so, perhaps create a filter for the difficulties that drop substantially.
