Based on user feedback, the calculator has been updated with a few tweaks and bugfixes:

• Fixed missing cursor problem on IE
• Adjusted mapping Bitcoin price target on WebKit browsers
• Workaround for unintentional cut and paste while button mashing

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new mining profit calculator, the Bitcoin Mining Profit Calculator:  Gaiden.

With market uncertainties and increased competition, Bitcoin Mining Profit Calculator:  Gaiden just might give you the edge you need to stay ahead of the game.  Built using the same revolutionary technology as last year's Advanced Bitcoin Simulator, it is unlike any other mining calculator you've used before.

Certain advanced features of the calculator require a recent browser.  Tested with recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, and IE.  Comments welcome.

Update 15 April 2014:

• Fixed bug with DLC on non-GOTY versions of the simulator
• Fixed bug affecting gameplay when accessing some pages via external link
• Hotfix to improve compatibility with some gopher clients
• Added romance options (Leonard Peikoff, von Mises)

Our developers continue to work to improve the Advanced Bitcoin Simulator and so we're pleased to announce the following changes:

• Adjusted market AI to improve k-nearest neighbor and Bayesian classifier performance
• Added the ability to save the simulation state if you have nonzero bitcoins
• Fixed typo in a Milton Friedman quote
• Fixed compatibility issues with the PlanetWeb browser

We want to thank the bitcoin community for the overwhelming response.  Our developers have just implemented the following changes based on your feedback:

• Adjusted the investment AI to be more responsive to player actions
• Added warnings before displaying any potentially not work safe images
• Tweaked the initial co-efficients used in the simulated quantum annealing routines.  This should fix the problems with market convergence some people have been experiencing
• Minor UI changes the improve readability in some browsers

We have not yet implemented any logic to model the effects of the recent IRS decisions involving bitcoin.  This is our most-requested feature so we're hoping to add it in a future release.

We are pleased to announce the availability of the Advanced Bitcoin Simulator.  Using the most sophisticated statistical modelling techniques and the latest in modern virtual reality technologies, it represents the cutting edge of bitcoin-related internet-facing analytical technologies.  It is available absolutely for free in the interest of promoting the study and understanding of the bitcoin cryptoecosystem.
