First block with 25 BTC reward is not 209999, it's 210000. Code reads: int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees) { int64 nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;
// Subsidy is cut in half every 4 years nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 210000);
return nSubsidy + nFees; } Only 20405 blocks to go now! First 25 BTC block will probably be mined at: 2012-12-06 21:40:54 (GMT+2)

First 25 BTC block will probably be mined at: 2012-12-06 21:40:54 (GMT+2) even though it's only a code-comment and not actual code, that is the kind of statement that can lead newbies to confusion about how things actually work: // Subsidy is cut in half every 4 years should say: // Subsidy is cut in half approximately every 4 years or // Subsidy is cut in half every 210000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years

^ Yes... That's exactly what I said. blockexplorer.com has got it wrong. even though it's only a code-comment and not actual code, that is the kind of statement that can lead newbies to confusion about how things actually work:
// Subsidy is cut in half every 4 years
should say:
// Subsidy is cut in half approximately every 4 years
or
// Subsidy is cut in half every 210000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years
Agreed. Though I'm not quite sure how much newbies read source code (or the comments in it).

Agreed. Though I'm not quite sure how much newbies read source code (or the comments in it). well, i'm sure they read them a lot more when they're posted to this forum.

ah, i remember when my clock still looked like 7:30 getting late now. On this site you should continually calculate an approximate date and time before reward halving. Would be nice to have. Bitcoinwatch.com should have the same so people have a deadline to look at.
