  • However, averaged over sufficiently long periods of time, the duration of blocks tends to be 600.5958 seconds (10 minutes times 2016/2014, see https://github.com/sipa/writeups/tree/main/bitcoin-difficulty-adjustment for a very mathematical explanation). If the average tends to less than that, it implies the hashrate is on average growing. If the average tends to more than that, it implies the hashrate is average shrinking.
