Dark Gravity Wave
Dark Gravity Wave (DGW) is a new algorithm designed to address certain flaws such as the time warp attack in the KGW algorithm. This concept was first introduced in Dash, previously known as Darkcoin. It makes use of multiple exponential moving averages and simple move averages to achieve a smoother readjustment mechanism. The formula is shown as follows:
2222222/ (((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2)
This formula is implemented in Dash coin, Bitcoin SegWit2X and various other altcoins as a mechanism to readjust difficulty.
DGW version 3.0 is the latest implementation of DGW algorithm and allows improved difficulty retargeting as compared to KGW.
