Many thanks for the mention @barton26! It has been a labor of love to try and improve the netweight, average difficulty, and estimated time to stake calculations!

Thanks for the post and keep up the good work! I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I'll say again that I think these updates are super important, in part just so people know that Gridcoin is continually being improved on the inside (even if at any given time things seem "quiet" on the outside.)

Love the new header!

And the update too, I suppose = )

Note that there was another version of Constant Block Reward PR, and I submitted it a LONG time ago now. It was since withdrawn due to higher priority issues.

Thanks for another informative update.  The progress appears to be very fast!

Thank you for the info and update. 
I am trying to revive my testnet clients and just took my 3.7.11.0 clients and just imported my wallet.dat's from 6 months ago  , and actually that is where I read the whole thing and saw your name and thought the line in the wiki was funny , I am sorry my bringing it up as something mentioned in the testnet wiki being funny pissed you off so much and see you are the " testnet coordinator " and am trying to help and to switch my 5 extra windows nodes and 3 extra linux nodes that are pointless on the production network as Investor wallets with 0GRC in each from back when we had the 2nd to last superblock issue of months ago and we were all asked to get as many windows clients online as possible to help the neural network and consensus block etc. 
I see via an app I use that everyones testnet wallet versions are much older and need to know what version I should be running and yes I do know where https://github.com/tomasbrod/Gridcoin-Research and https://dl.bintray.com/gridcoin/deb/ are but I am pretty sure 3.7.11.0 or what not is more than likely not what I should be running.
Although I am still awaiting someone to come threw with sending me a nice chunk of coins like caraka did originally @ 50k and he did say he would ask rob to mint more and would send them to me but its been over 8 months ,  I was nice enough when Rino started doing testnet to send him 5k before he got sent 50k+ ( i shoulda been given back my small contribution amount to help him since litterally he got that before he got my 5k ) and I sat there every day for 3hr+ a day as I was asked to generate as much traffic and transactions on testnet as I could find the time to do to help and sent Mercosity 10-20grc transactions at a time up to a full 35k testnet GRC over 2 weeks and apparently got them stolen from me because he never returned them as the plan was  and stopped talking to me and I could use some more coins although the 4 current wallet.dat's I have do have some. Anyways the conversation the other day should not have gone as it did , I was trying to get my extra clients up and helping via testnet vs empty investor wallets. Being you are the " testnet coordinator " you could have just iuno , nothing was said wrong and if its your job to help with testnet you could have helped me vs what happened and this should be a perfect way by letting me know the info so I can help out as thats about the only thing I continue to try and do , and well I get shut down.
The #testnet discord channel seems un-used and or old info and I just see caraka dropping that old versions for alt arch are build , obviously #testnet freenode for me in no point in going there and I would use the slack channel if I could get in invite. So please can you direct and help me out a little bit as I continue to be a team player and try to help where I can , or is my help just not going to be accepted?
Thanks  . You can msg me via discord vs replying here if you wish.
Again thanks for the updates , will be looking for them every other week.  If not I guess Thursday after surgery if I get to go home same day I will join " fireside chat " although its something I have been avoiding and just need a small bit of info and do not need a lesson on testnet or setting up a testnet or any form of the client I just need to know what version and could use some coins minted so I can sit and give my 2-3hr a day sending 10grc / 20grc etc in single transactions to generate as much traffic oon that neural network as possible. Thanks barton26 , keep up to great work and will be looking forward to latter posts.
