CheckProofOfWork()

PermittedDifficultyTransition()

bool PermittedDifficultyTransition	(	const Consensus::Params &	params,
		int64_t	height,
		uint32_t	old_nbits,
		uint32_t	new_nbits
	)

Return false if the proof-of-work requirement specified by new_nbits at a given height is not possible, given the proof-of-work on the prior block as specified by old_nbits.

This function only checks that the new value is within a factor of 4 of the old value for blocks at the difficulty adjustment interval, and otherwise requires the values to be the same.

Always returns true on networks where min difficulty blocks are allowed, such as regtest/testnet.
