I'm surprised people are still so bullish on SELLING when difficulty is currently scheduled for a measly 0.6% increase, which is far below the threshold required for selling to receive a dividend.
Most difficulty predictions are based on the average hashrate for the period since the last adjustment. For most of that timeperiod, ASICMiner has been running with significantly less hashing power and they've only recently recovered. Consequently, the average hashrate since the last adjustment is relatively low and will rise if there are no other hashrate-drops.
Alright that's a pretty good point so I redid some calculations:
After ASICMiner recovered, total network power is at 146.13 TH/s
At last difficulty readjustment, total network power was at 138.43 TH/s
If we ignore the period over the last day and a half where total network power was hovering between 120-130 TH/s and just suppose it was at 146.13 the entire time, then we come up with a difficulty increase of 5.7%, which would receive a dividend of .0029 BTC/Share or so.
(Using numbers from the previous day:
TotalAssets/(EffectiveUnits*(Dividend*.943)) = 423.7108705177327560934408247899 (Days of dividends remaining)
(DaysRemaining-400) *(EffectiveUnits*(Dividend*.943)) = 23.7108705177327 * 2.55136776774 = 60.495150784 (BTC to be paid out in dividends to SELLING)
60.495150784/EffectiveUnits = 60.495150784/20809 = 0.00290716 BTC/share of DMS.SELLING paid out in dividends
Using infinite series calculations supposing difficulty readjusts every 12 days (CurrentDividend * 12 /(1-DifficultyIncrease)), DMS.MINING will pay out a total of
.0312 if difficulty increases 5% each time
.0208 if difficulty increases 7.5% each time
.0156 if difficulty increases 10% each time
.0078 if difficulty increases 20% each time
