    Ok, but how do you know the retargeting will lead to a substantially lower diff? In theory, if miners are finding blocks quicker, the re-targeting could be higher...?
    there is a difference - you found 100 blocks per day or per hour.
    If for an hour, the remaining 23 hours you will spend on mining something else.
    the difficulty is how often you can find a block. On hi diff rarely, on low-often.
    Sorry I think you misunderstood.
    What I meant is that you will know when the next difficulty retargeting will be (because you know there are 2016 blocks apart).
    But how do you know whether it will retarget difficulty higher or lower (and by how much)? By comparing the actual time it took to mine these 2016 blocks vs the theoretical 2016 minutes?
