Description

@niftynei

In the extensions we mention adjusting the target time for a block.

  • Figure out what the formula is for this. Should be something like
minutes_per_block = (time on last block - time of block at beginning of epoch) / number of blocks in epoch
expected_block_minutes = 8
new_block_target = last_target * expected_block_minutes / minutes_per_block
  • Add a new card design that helps nodes calculate what the next target should be.
