Thanks for the graph Bicknellski.
In the last 24 hours we've seen around 13 blocks. Things are getting slower and slower. At this rate I can expect to add my BFL ASIC to FRC before the difficulty changes, except someone else will have already done it by the time I get there.
Topic: Next Freicoin Difficulty (Read 2822 times)
It seems that the network has slowed down some more. There are about 60 blocks being found a day at the moment. Looking at Coinotron over the last 19 blocks they have found 1 in 4.47 blocks meaning that Coinotron is finding 22% of blocks. As Coinotron over the last 24 hours has had 9GH on FRC we can speculate that the total current hashpower for FRC is currently around 40GH hopefully putting the difficulty even lower for the next change.
So my calculations put it on 13 days till next difficulty adjustment (29th jan) ... and difficulty should be in the 3,000-4,000 mark??
this kind of thing makes me REALLY glad that TRC has very quick difficulty readjustment. if it takes 1-2 months for a coin to come back down after a drastic difficulty overshoot it can be quite a damper on miner interest in the coin.. while if its only 2-4 hours then its meh.. just wait a little bit.
+1 TRC is there ready when you are.
With all the major alts going down in value it seems that the newer alts are being parked for better days.
As far as I can tell the network hash rate for FRC is now around 6GH and the network is getting through around 18 blocks a day. This is going to put the next difficulty change in 25 days time.

That's very surprising to read Coinotron only gets 1/5 blocks.
The p2pool is has a decent hashrate.
Why is that surprising?
coinotron has only had 6-9gh/s on their FRC pool for a week now.

So I'm guessing that the most it can go up in difficulty a time is four times the current difficulty? Which explains why we had the 1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, 4096 difficulties from the start.
Exactly.

It's difficult to tell as the difficulty went up times four until we got our current difficulty of 9772. The difficulties went like this...
1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, 4096, 9772.
So I'm not sure where we'll end up circa 29th Jan. Perhaps as you say or either 1024 or 4096.

There's no reason for it to be exactly 1024 or 4096. Actually, with a huge amount of luck it could be exactly 4096, but 1024 is out of range for the next retarget since the difficulty will at most be divided by 4 => 2443.

The latest 144-block-set was solved at an average rate of 39.77 GH/s, good guess bushstar!

It can be patched to support merge mining but that requires a fork the same as Namecoin did.
It's merge minable... anyone who is running a private pool probably just added it as a merge mined currency. It's free extra money if you're already mining BTC.
Not yet it's not. Here's a quote from maaku.
Any merge-mined variant of FRC would be a fork, and the blocks mined would be orphaned from the main chain, and anyone transacting on both chains would be in danger of having their coins stolen.
There has been discussion on IRC, our forums, and elsewhere on the subject of merged mining, and do intent to fully support at the appropriate time.

But if someone were to Merge-Mine it, would it really be a fork? When people started merge mining NMC it didn't fork the chain, right? So why FRC?
Good job, Bushstar. I love seeing what data mining can be done on Freicoin.
Thank you bushstar for this i was wondering what the next freicoin diff was gonna be and when we would see it 
so you nailed 2 birds with one stone
so you nailed 2 birds with one stone 
maaku is simply afraid that his "idea" will be stolen, thats why he always cryies
