What is going wrong with blockchain difficulty?

Great links, I would just like to add a couple more for those curious as ‘difficulty’ (affected by netspace and timelord speed) and ‘sub-slot iterations’ (affected by timelord speed) are both parameters that ultimately affect win chances. Its a linear relationship, meaning if ‘sub-slot iterations’ doubles, difficulty will also double to maintain the same chances to find a valid proof (assuming netspace is constant).

The difficulty adjustments are described in more depth here: Epoch and Difficulty | Chia Documentation
