As I said, there is a huge amount of inaccurancy with the calculator on this prediction, this is what it says this morning. By next week, I imagine it will be estimating even less.

The current mining difficulty is 7,673,000. The next difficulty is estimated to change by 12.75% to 8,651,173 on block #231,839. That should be 1 weeks 4 days 15 hours 45 mins 44 seconds from now.
