Im going to explain to you what i mean here.
so i took some of this info from Phils's thread..
at last diff adjustment we are reported as by wisdom at
Date Difficulty Change Hash Rate
Dec 06 2015 79,102,380,900 8.77% 566,236,898 GH/s
http://btc.blockr.io/chartsDec 6 157 9.03 % increase. hashrate = 618,771,100.3505264 gh/s so if we stayed at this hash 157 blocks for the day would be the norm until the next diff adjustment.
new norm at 9 % network hash increase = 157 blocks for day
Dec 7 149 5.01 % decrease from the previous day hashrate = 587,770,668.222965 gh/s
norm for day is 149 blocks at 587 ph thru to next diff if hash stayed put
Dec 8 171 14.77 % increase over previous day or a nethash rate of 674,525,618.8526747 gh/s
norm now is 171
Dec 9 174 1.75% increase over previous day nethashrate 686,329,817.179875 gh/s
new norm is now 174 blocks
Dec 10 212 21.84 % increase over previous day.. nethashrate 836,217,385.9537879 Now i know its not 960 .. i found that to be interesting aswell. But i thought it would most definitely depend on the datapoints. If blockr uses say 12 pm to 12 pm every 24 hours to take there data points .. Whereas the wallet is always showing the last 24 hours of block solves..
Dec 11 157 so on and so on......
Dec 12 ?
So if the network usually goes thru 144 blocks a day. that's if every block is 10 min avg. Now if you look at blockr and goto dec 10 you can see its 67 more blocks than normal.. So we take (211-144)/144 * 100.. That gives us an increase of 46.5% for that day.. So if we at 700 peta according to wisdom atm and it was higher!!. that would give us a network hash speed of 700 peta * 1.465 = 1025 petahash. but im sure that the network speed reported by wisdom was a bit lower when we got that surge.. Now the wallet takes an avg of how many blocks were solved in last 24 hours to calculate this output. Bitcoin-cli getnetworkhashps
the current reading is 667873644849506432 hashes per second.. Which isnt that far off from wisdom atm.. When i posted this the reading on the wallet was over 960 petahash.. this is not a prediction.. this is an actual network reading.. What im predicting is how soon we get to that hashrate and difficulty.. Hope that helps explain what im doing:)
