Get difficulty at arbitrary block height #112

Closed dlio closed 10 years ago

dlio commented 10 years ago

While namecoind getinfo and namecoind getdifficulty display the current difficulty, namecoind getblock <block_hash> does not return difficulty info for an arbitrary block in the past.

Is it possible to do this? There is some code I've written that works across dozens of other coin daemons that breaks with namecoin because of this missing difficulty field. I've patched together some workarounds for other issues but this one is a significant obstacle to the inclusion of namecoin in various multi-coin projects.

Any help would be much appreciated -- cheers.

Yes, should be possible to do. I'll give it a try and submit a patch if it is not too much work (which it isn't, presumably). I think this information is useful, also for all kinds of statistics.

Done.

dlio commented 10 years ago

Awesome! Thanks a ton -- testing now.

Works like a charm; many thanks.
