Comment Comment by simias It's computed over 6 blocks: "the MTP of the tip of the chain is 12h or more after the MTP 6 block before the tip".So it takes 6 consecutive blocks to be found "fast enough" (that is, within a 12h window) to return to the normal difficulty algorithm. parent simias 9 years ago
