Hello there!
For bitcoin:
difficulty = first_block_target / current_target
Is it correct for LTC? If not - how to calculate it?

For BTC (first block bits=0x1d00ffff)
target=
0x00000000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
for LTC if follow same way (first block bits=0x1e0ffff0)
target=
0x00000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That's true?
Also there in cgminer presents such code (from BTC asic driver):
static uint8_t diff_to_bits(double diff)
{
uint64_t diff64;
uint8_t i;
diff /= 0.9999847412109375;
diff *= (double)2147483648.0;
if (diff > 0x8000000000000000ULL)
diff = 0x8000000000000000ULL;
/* Convert it to an integer */
diff64 = diff;
for (i = 0; diff64; i++, diff64 >>= 1);
return i;
}
static double bits_to_diff(uint8_t bits)
{
double ret = 1.0;
if (likely(bits > 32))
ret *= 1ull << (bits - 32);
else if (unlikely(bits < 32))
ret /= 1ull << (32 - bits);
return ret;
}
I think that need to alter this line for LTC:
diff *= (double)2147483648.0; but how?
So how to adapt this code for LTC?
I'm trying to ask on different forums but no answer.
Somebody please help.
Thanks!
