Not really pool related, but does anyone know another source to confirm blocks to next difficulty?  Bitcoincharts seems to be stuck showing the same info for the last couple of days.

On a pool related note, how about adding the number of blocks to next dificulty to the web site so that I don't have to go find it elsewhere? Cheesy

I was just thinking this same thing. PLEASE add this to the dashboard page of the website... Please?!?!

You can work it out for yourself if you know the current blockheight:

Retarget will occur on: ceiling(currentBlock/2016)*2016 - 1
First block, new difficulty: ceiling(currentBlock/2016)*2016

(the "ceiling" function just means "round up")

As I post this the current block height is 251838, so
Retarget will occur on: ceiling(251838/2016)*2016 - 1 = 125 * 2016 - 1 = 251999
First block, new difficulty: ceiling(251838/2016)*2016 = 125 * 2016 = 252000
