though I think it's a not so hard task, maybe 10 or 12 shares are enough.

After Weisoq's post:

Countdown clock - all it needs is a spreadsheet link, could probably just be added to smeagols dvc price site:
Using an old start point for calc: In A1 enter '12/05/2013  21:50:00' (date formatted, this is GMT for ref if want to be specific). In A2 enter current DVC Block. In A3 (also date formatted as above) type =A1+((120000-89150)/((A2-89150)/(NOW()-A1))). Right now that gives 31/12/2013 10:24 GMT

I agree that it's not so hard, so I suggest 12 for the first person to accomplish it, and 6 for the second.

Edit 1: Hmm although I seem to be getting a different time to you lot - looks like I had a local time in there...fixing atm

Edit 2: Nope I'm not seeing why I'm getting a different ETA. At this present moment it's 15th Dec 14:04 UTC, there are 2106 blocks to go (120,000 - 117894), which is 21,060 minutes to go = 351 hours converts into 14 days and 15 hours. Going by this, the target date and time should be the 1400 on the 29th of Dec plus 15 hours, or 30th December at 0500. I think I'm correct.

Hello, We are both correct.

Since the hashpower of the whole dvc network varies from time to time, one block is not accurately generated in 10 minutes, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.
As you use 10 mins as one block time, And I using average time of the older blocks (e.g. 1000 blocks before today) as block time. these two method is both ok, and the result won't be too different, maybe in one or two days.
