| Aug 24, 2022 at 4:26 | comment | added | eth♦ | Let's just have three blocks in order, with difficulty 10, 11, 12. The totalDifficulty at each block is 10, 21, 33. Do you see that? If the next block has difficulty 1, then totalDifficulty will be 34. | |
| Aug 24, 2022 at 4:17 | comment | added | Milk Trudge | ohh, so do you know what are the factors can impact the totalDifficulty ? and do you know how to calculate the totalDifficulty ( the calculation ignore the difficulty factor)? | |
| Aug 24, 2022 at 4:14 | comment | added | eth♦ | Difficulty does not need to increase: if difficulty drops to 1, totalDifficulty will still increase by 1 each time... | |

| Aug 24, 2022 at 4:11 | comment | added | Milk Trudge | Hi, thanks for the comment. As you said totalDifficulty is the sum of all the difficulty of the block and all previous blocks. So it means if totalDifficulty want to increase, so the difficulty need to be increased. However, in the Ropsten testnet example, the totalDifficulty is increasing, while the difficulty is decreasing. I don't get it when "totalDifficulty is the sum of all the difficulty of the block and all previous block". That is my concern | |
