Calculate Mining Difficulty
Calculate and analyze BSV mining difficulty from targets, bits, and network data.
When to Use
- Get current network difficulty from WhatsOnChain
- Convert between target and difficulty
- Decode compact bits representation
- Understand expected hash calculations for mining
Usage
# Get current network difficulty
bun run skills/calculate-mining-difficulty/scripts/difficulty.ts --current
# Calculate from compact bits (e.g., genesis block)
bun run skills/calculate-mining-difficulty/scripts/difficulty.ts --bits 0x1d00ffff
# Calculate from target hex (64 characters)
bun run skills/calculate-mining-difficulty/scripts/difficulty.ts --target 00000000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
# JSON output for scripting
bun run skills/calculate-mining-difficulty/scripts/difficulty.ts --bits 0x1d00ffff --json
# Show help
bun run skills/calculate-mining-difficulty/scripts/difficulty.ts --helpOutput
Default output:
Mining Difficulty Analysis
==========================
Difficulty: 1
Target: 0x00000000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bits: 0x1d00ffff
Expected hashes: 4.29e+9JSON output (--json):
{
"difficulty": 1,
"target": "00000000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"bits": "1d00ffff",
"expectedHashes": "4.29e+9"
}Difficulty Math
The script uses the standard Bitcoin difficulty formula:
- Max target:
0x00000000FFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000(difficulty 1) - Difficulty:
max_target / current_target - Compact bits format: First byte = exponent, next 3 bytes = mantissa
target = mantissa * 2^(8*(exponent-3))
- Expected hashes:
difficulty * 2^32
API Integration
Uses WhatsOnChain API for current network data:

How to use this skill
Install calculate-mining-difficulty by running npx skills add b-open-io/bsv-skills --skill calculate-mining-difficulty in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of calculate-mining-difficulty, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
