Well I would have the projected difficulty increase and time to increase calculated based on the last 2 difficulty increases, BUT also allow the user to adjust them as they desire so they can add in their own speculation if they wish to do so. Otherwise I think it looks good so far. Now just time for some nice user interface.


Edit: Actually it won't let me put in a hardware cost of $0 and it automatically puts it back at $5000.

Any truncation is done for printing purposes. The json returns the full value but for printing i have adjusted it. Let me know if you find any calculations off.

"avg days until difficulty increase" shouldn't be user-specified but computed directly from the average increase. A .2 increase means the number of days in the preceding cycle is 14 / 1.2 for example.

Been doing a local one myself ;p Shouldn't the payouts be to 8 decimal places? Besides that it looks great so far!

So i have used a lot of calcs out there and got annoyed that it didnt really take into account difficulty increases on average or it didnt do this or it didnt do that. Im sure theres some better ones out there but i also wanted to take on the calculation on my own for fun so i threw together

http://btc.anapaapps.com

What did i miss? I know you could probably use an api to get blocks found and calculate next difficulty increase date as well as other key factors but i wanted more of a general profitability over time calculation for now.

What factors have i left out. Please dont rape the page without my permission or i will take it down. It doest look pretty because i made it to return json so i could do whatever with the data.
