You keep harping on future speculation and you want to change the Kano website to show speculation data. The charts and data tables on the Kano web site are about displaying actual historical data; not speculation into the future about things that have not happened. There's a huge difference. Like I said, you can use any of the many calculators out there to do all the speculations and all the what-if scenarios you want.
I actually got it how kano displays things, but it is more amenable for many blocks situation and not very good for a small number of blocks per period.
Example:
imagine that in the first two days of, say, March , we cracked four blocks (instead of expected 0.5-1), then the web site would promptly display a very large luck number (multiple 100 of %), then, hypothetically, we did not hit any until mid April. All this time we would see this abnormally high number of luck through the rest of March and until that April date for the next block, at which point, the luck for April (
but not March!) would change to a very low number (only in the example, of course).
Intuitively, it wouldn't be right for comprehension, but from the perspective of calculation, it would be correct:
As I said, it shows the stats for blocks found in January - not the hashing done in January.
The code works as: any block with a date of the month of interest, then it's numbers are included in the calculation for a given month.

I agree with Grog and Biodom that the monthly stats are confusing when the number of blocks that we find take weeks. With the very clear mathematical talent that Kano demonstrates, I expect it has been checked and rechecked tons of times over the years. Obviously setting up background daily calculations is probably not an easy thing to implement without a lot of testing and may make the data really inaccurate during the transition. Of course we are all hoping the pool will grow so it will be a non-issue anyway.
So I wonder if an asterisk (*) could be added to the monthly stats (January in this case) when the month has rolled over without a block. then under the monthly table, add the asterisk again with some sort of description below it? At least that would give an indication that it will be updated at the next block.
Beyond trying to offer another thought on this, I would like to remind everyone here that we all are perceived as representatives of the Kano site even though we really are not. I am an old fart that has always told my kids that texting and email communication is much easier to misconstrue versus face to face or phone where reactions are instant. This forum is the same in my book. As tempting it may be to do a quick pop off on a heated topic, please consider a re-read and edit before clicking the post button.
Now lets crack this block so we can get back to the cheering and Mine On!
