Agreed, not knowing measure theory never stopped me from computing a conditional expectation. Some courses and books overemphasize rigor in probability and, while it obviously has its place, I've seen newcomers to the field become obse

It's definitely not a homogenous Poisson process, mainly because of the random changes to mining difficulty and propagation delays. There's a good paper here looking at block arrival times and fitting some different models - ht

To the programmer, developer or casual visitor looking at this and wondering whether it's worth the time and effort to dig into this, it is. Most of what's covered here can be understood with undergrad calculus, and will give you

Regardless of whether the collection of the data was incidental or not, this is a huge breach of public trust given the assurances made by the Australian government. For shame.
