Does anyone have any experience with getting price/transaction data from any web sites?  Any preferences for sites to use?  I see that Excel 2019 and Office 365 have some ability to fetch data and load it into Excel.  I have Office 2019, not 365.  I can write code, have done some Excel VBA, but have never written anything that accesses the internet to fetch data.

I am considering buying a dedicated miner for Ethereum and work it for several years.  I can be persuaded to change tactics. 

I am looking at Innosilicon A10 Pro at 720 Mh per second.

What I cannot find is the number of M hashes needed to resolve one block.  To my way of thinking, number of hashes needed divided by the miner’s hash rate, results in the time needed to create one block and be rewarded with some coin.  I found a profit calculator on line but it keeps the number of hashes needed hidden.

Where can I find that number?  Yes, I see that the number can change, probably daily, but still, what is that number as of today, 6 Feb 2021.  At 6:00 PM Pacific time if that matters.

Is this a question that should not be asked?  I wonder because I have not been able to find the number.
