By Maria Santos

Last Updated: Jan 2, 2018

The Bitcoin difficulty is an extremely important number for miners, but also for the entire cryptocurrency community. According to the Bitcoin Wiki, difficulty can be described as the “measure of how difficult it is to find a new block compared to the easiest it can ever be”.

But since difficulty levels change every 2016 blocks, Bitcoin Examiner decided to show you seven tools that will reveal the updated information about Bitcoin difficulty whenever and wherever you need.

1. Bitcoin Difficulty

The name pretty much says it all. This simple, but very complete, website shows the current difficulty level and the estimates for the next three, seven or 14 days.

2. Bitcoin Watch
