The network of Miss Designer is also invincible!
Having said that, the budget allocated to designer Patricia Phil when the movie was filming was only 100,000 US dollars, which is less than 700,000 yuan, and it was just a few sets of clothes on Meryl Streep. After millions of dollars, the luxury clothes and limited edition bags in the final movie were all borrowed by the designer through his personal connections.

Mining (aka finding a hash lower than the difficulty target) is partially a chance based operation. You can find the hash in a second or it could take hours more than usual. So even with a fixed hashrate you can end up finding x number of blocks in different time frames, eg. 15 days to find first 2016 blocks and 13 days to find second 2016 blocks.

When the hashrate is so much less than the difficulty, it can take significantly longer. The minimum difficulty can't go below 1 and it is possible that in early weeks there were more miners compared to following weeks hence the 4, 10 days in the beginning followed by 20-30 days in the next periods. It is also possible that miner(s) (Satoshi et al) shut down their computer for some time, maybe to upgrade to new version, test some change, etc. hence increasing the time between blocks.

Specifically which period?

As you said, the difficulty adjustment is done every 2016 blocks. In the earlier days of Bitcoin, there were few miners mining and they were using CPU miners which is extremely slow. The period between each block was sporadic and it took much longer than 2 weeks to reach 2016 blocks. The first difficulty adjustment was in February 2010.

Since the lowest difficulty was 1, the difficulty(target) couldn't have adjusted to get the block interval to 10 minutes and thus it persisted for quite a while.

Hi Everyone,

Its my first post in here, and surely wont be the last!

I couldn't help but notice the following:

Knowing that difficulty adjustment occurs every 2016, blocks; why are the dates of every other 2016th block vary in date when it should have actually occurred?
