That auto-adjustment just happened again. On Feb 24, it spiked to 3.78, a 49% increase. Good to keep track of these updates.

How’s the difficulty even adjusted in a decentralized system? What stops someone from messing with it to make it super easy or hard?

Yeah, my port is wide open on both software and hardware firewalls. But I think my high latency (like 2000ms) and packet loss (up to 10%) might be the problem.

Another adjustment came in on Feb 14, skyrocketing the difficulty from 1.82 to 2.53, a whopping 39% increase in just 10 days. More nodes are joining and cranking out blocks faster than ever.
