In about 6 hours the difficulty will be about 9,000,000
At that difficulty, 10GH/s will make about 0.55 BTC a day.
Use that in your calculations for the next 12 days
... then of course multiply 0.55 by approx 0.84 for the 12 days after that ... and continue doing that until BFL release their hardware
That's a reasonably good estimate ... with the totally unknown number in there "until BFL release"
(coz when that happens the difficulty will sky rocket)

This was posted in another thread, and it got me thinking about difficulty and how often it increases and by how much. Obviously this is an unknown, but from everyone's experience (and I know I am posting in a newbie board, but surely someone has some insight), do those numbers seem legit? Specifically the .16 decrease in BTC mined every 12 days?

the .16 decrease is asumption of growing difficulty by about 15% every 12 days, it worked this way last month or two, so could be good estimate.
