    133 is the correct difficulty - 110 is wrong - there was no extra hash power

      Notwithstanding the odd behavior @33000, the client uses the window 1/1.414x to 1*1.414x. This is correct as going upward to 150% from 100% is 3/2 but downward from 100% to 50% is 2/1! The website used the wrong calculation: 1-0.414x to 1+0.414x.

      I don’t know what transpired at @33000, but I’m going to work on my dynamic difficulty algo because we clearly have some prepubescent malcontents against us. I’m not taking this lying down. I will sit purposefully.

          The code uses 99/70 as the difficulty change limiter. So, 188.2*70/99=133.07 and that’s where it is now.

            that’s about the same 99/70 is close to square root of 2 = 1.414. but anyway the website was wrong.

              Indeed it was. x/1.414 != x(1-0.414)
