it would go all the way up to 20 mins, but no more then 30 for sure(there are exception of 1 hour or more), it is based on a exponential distribution

You clearly have not actually looked at the history as it has taken over an hour to create a new block in the past.

(of course your post was made because of your ad-sig rather than for any actual "real reason" as you didn't even bother doing the slightest bit of research before posting)


well not, i did some search, it was not made purely because of the sig, i know that it can go to 1 hour or even more, but the average(of rising or falling above 10 min) is what i've wrote

p.s. i didn't include it at first because those(rising to one hour or more) were only isolated cases

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.
I know that mining difficulty is adjusted from time to time in order to keep the blocks hashing on average at 10 minutes per.  However, from my experience waiting for confirmations here and there, I also know there can be quite a bit of variance in this distribution (the distribution of time-between-blocks).  Has anyone calculated the standard deviation?
