# Bitcoin Block Luck Calculation

This is a utility for Bitcoin miners/mining pools to calculate the 'luck' of mining a block.

When a block has been mined you need to save when the block was started mined (created) and the mined at (when a hash has been found) timestamps.

First we need to cover constant values:

- hash = 2 pow 32

- PHz per second = 10 pow 15

- block average = hash * PHz per second

To calculate luck you need how long it took to mine the block, your total hashrate, and network difficulty. Eg:

- difficulty = 336899932795 // network difficulty

- hashrate = total hashrate of mined block

- minedTimeSeconds = (minedat - created) in seconds

## luck({ difficulty, hashrate, minedTimeSeconds })

```javascript

console.log(luck({

  difficulty: 336899932795

  hashrate: 154.9, // block hashrate

  minedTimeSeconds: 9172 // how long block took to mine

})) // '102.71'

```
