In order to get the maximum amount of activity points possible, you just need to post once per day on average. Skipping days is OK as long as you maintain the average.

adjusts for the current historic difficulty changes every 10 days for the number of days you request a report for. This is excellent! One problem I'm experiencing though is that when I pick a longer number of days, e.g., 180 days, I get a div that Chrome won't function with very well. I can't scroll up or down, for instance. |

yes, scrolling is broken. you can scroll by marking the text and within a certain range by using the mouse wheel.
@OP: total crap, sorry. so it defaults to 32% per what? day? 10 days? 2016 blocks? the output is also rather useless. If I hit calculate for 180 days I am not particularly interested in day #111. reduce the output to 10 lines at max. with something like: 1st week you will stay above 0.02BTC/day, 1st month above 0.015BTC/day .... and in the end you will have 0.532BTC. (there is no point in giving more than 3 digits precision. Neither for difficulty nor for results as I doubt you will achieve more than 1.5 digits precision at predicting the network growth rate.

Updated to provide an average difficulty change value which is regularly (it is actually every minute because I want to stress Google App Engine a little) calculated from all previous difficulties.
Also ...
Changed the interface to remove the scrolling problem.
Added graph - how useful are these ?
Added additional explanation text.
I am happy with the precision and will actually be increasing it as time progresses - I reckon my prediction is quite a bit better than giszmo thinks.
Keep the feedback coming all is useful, even the badly phrased stuff ;O)

Much better than before. Nice work.
However, The next predicted difficulty is only 1.64M
I understand how you've calculated, but it would be cool if we could enter a difficulty % ourselves.
[edit] I'm blind. Its already there

Bump and request for feedback - either here or via bitcoindeveloperleague+bitcoindetailedcalculator@gmail.com
Really impressed with the usage this is getting, hope you are all finding it useful.
Should have some free time this weekend to implement some suggestions.

You may want to append a semicolon after the  's  . |

Cheers. Forgot that had a semicolon too - seems my versions of both Firefox and Chrome tolerate it not being there. You may want to append a semicolon after the  's . |

Why would you have the difficulty increase, but not have a corresponding price increase? I would recommend you move away from the difficulty increase, and instead go to a resistance point on the price/difficulty ratio.. Take a look at this thread, for details: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7427.80I have written in there a bit about my take on it. The ratio defines the profitability of mining, and if it drops too low, then miners will bail out, due to lack of profits. Historically, the lowest the ratio has been is .8, which is where it is at now, and hopefully that is the real bottom. Good job on the calculator. I also go for more detail  |

why do you increase the difficulty every 10 days, it should be every 14 days.  |

I based on this https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18485.0 and given the calculator is working on days ... I will re-adjust over the coming months. As ever this stuff is only ever going to be an estimate and I would far rather be pessimistic than give users high expectations. why do you increase the difficulty every 10 days, it should be every 14 days. It should be every 2016 blocks, how ever long that takes... |

Absolutely. As stated that is a calculation based on all previous difficulty changes. You might find this useful - http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=pastehtml.com/view/b1cx89lyr.htmlAs you can see, only the last 3 difficulty changes are significantly statistically different from the historical average. I might well add a drop down next to difficulty change textbox, covering the options from the gadget, if there is sufficient demand for it. Sooo, in a year the difficulty will be 62 billion?? That is quite high!
