<p>Hi for POW is it possible to estimate hashrate for that block<br />
using only available info from getblock <a href="https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/rpc/getblock.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rpc</a> ( difficulty , timestamp, etc ) ?</p>
<p>Is there a correlation between difficulty and block found time ( this block - last block time )</p>

You'd have to ask in a an ETH forum or Q&A website - people who answer questions in bitcoin.stackexchange.com mostly specialise in Bitcoin so other cryptocurrencies are treated as off-topic.

# Estimate hashrate from block info

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-09-24)

Hi for POW is it possible to estimate hashrate for that block  
using only available info from getblock [rpc](https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/rpc/getblock.html) ( difficulty , timestamp, etc ) ?

Is there a correlation between difficulty and block found time ( this block - last block time )
