Description

If we know the speed with which we are mining (we don't currently have this number) and you know the difficulty (we do know that), then you can calculate the expected time before your miner finds the next block. This number would be quite nice to have on hand.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how mining speed is tracked in the codebase, then implement a function to compute expected time using difficulty and speed.
