I discovered http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator some time ago, the charts aren't bad either: http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty.

I reckon their estimate for the next difficulty is too high (537 million, or 37.46% increase). I'm tipping a 27% increase, or ~495 million. The rate of finding blocks has stalled over the last couple of days so I don't see a bumper increase this time. Possibly this is due to most of KnC's first batch being delivered, and there being a temporary lull. It will only be for a short time, though (i.e., it won't be long enough to turn those unprofitable miners back to making ROI).

I think their estimate is completely right. No doubt we will reach 537 for the next jump.
Do you want to bet?

BTW, thanks for the info dexX7 I didn't know this website, and looks nice.

Small wager? 0.5 BTC What's your over and under?

As an FYI, KNC has finally released a version of their firmware which includes cgminer improvements from ckolivas - https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-60. Most miners get a 2-3% bump from the software while a fair number of lesser performing units have increased 10-20%. My guess is this brings another 100T to the next diff change, on top of whatever is shipping.
