I think we should have a calculator in the wallet. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fimages_blogs%2Fgadgetlab%2F2010%2F08%2Fvintage-calculators-660x415.jpg&t=665&c=ueKsGlvntDQB4Q) Speaking of calculations... any way to calculate how long the average time to find a block is? Where are the network hash and current difficulty info posted? How would i use that stuff to calculate the avg time to find a block? sorry, I'm not a math wiz... need formulas like a baby. And yes, a bitpop themed coin sounds nice. Is there a bitpopcoin mascot? thx

Looking for where I can find what I need to 'estimate' time per block given a certain hashrate. time = difficulty * 2**32 / hashrateFor example, using the above formula, we can calculate how long it will take for bpc.altpooler.com to find a block. Currently, bpc.altpooler.com has a hashrate of about 150 MH/s OR 150,000,000 hashes per second. The current difficulty at the time of writing this post is 17.14380310 We plug those numbers into the formula, and we get the number of seconds expected to find a block. time = 17.14380310 * 2**32 / 150000000This results in 472.000472074 seconds. We divide by 60 to get minutes. 472.000472074 / 60 = 7.866674535 minutesDoes that help?

Good question...now I am doing some research BTW, my math is OFF in the above calculations. The hashrate used to get 472.000472074 seconds was 156000000 not 150000000. I posted 150000000 as the hashrate to keep it simple, but never re-ran the calculation using that number.

I posted 150000000 as the hashrate to keep it simple, but never re-ran the calculation using that number. It's still better than what others posted and it got me closer by referring to some other explanations and calcs for bitcoin and litecoin. I'm still trying to understand the ** notation... nevermind, I've moved on. What I gather is that I take 2^32 and mutiply that by the difficulty and then divide by the hash rate. If I were to rewrite the notation for my purposes I'd go with: time to block in hours = ((2^32*difficulty) / hashrate)) / 60 / 60 That puts me at about 1 block per 4 hours with my two 750ti cards and that's about spot on with what I'm actually getting.

I'm definitely thinking of decreasing total coins and decreasing rewards in later blocks
