Have you ever wondered just how quickly Notch is making his fortune? Well, wonder no more, as you can view firsthand as the numbers grow right before your very eyes. Who knows, you might even think twice about watching that youtube video when you realize a single indie developer made $500. Motivation at it's finest!
-Features-
real time stat tracking
conversion between tons of different currency (even a minecraft one)
No installation, no hassle, just one click and your curiosity is satiated
Updated it so that it shows how much Notch makes per second and per minute. It also now shows how much it costs Notch to have the program pull the data.
If anyone else has any suggestions I'd be glad to add them in.
Edit: It doesn't count taxes and paypal because those are both variable rates, and I have no idea what those would be. I could add them in if someone had some more precise data.
Well, my birth name is "Dr Epic-sandwhich-with-small-order-of-awesome-sauce-on-the-side", but my world was unjustly anticlimactic. And I started on sand, instead of diamond blocks, and most of my world was stone and air.

They usually add up to about 60%, so this program is terribly misleading. Even if you can't always get specifics and the tax rate changes adding another section for the estimated amount taxes and stuff takes out based on the current rate would be good. At least it'll cut down on the people who think Notch is too lazy for how much he makes.
Yeah, taxes have been in there for a little while now. Feel free to check their accuracy. Right now, I calculate that Notch makes about 65% of gross total sales because he makes the sales through Mojang Specifications rather than on a personal level.

Heh, I'm hated after my first post. I can tell I'll enjoy my time on these forums. :biggrin.gif:
It'll be even more impressive to see once it becomes $28 per game. Then the numbers will really skyrocket.
And get back to building my dorf fort.
But, awesome program you've made there.
all you gotta do is click that picture

I showed it to my family and coworkers, and everyone is amazed at how much is making out of this. =D
EDIT: I think I bumped on accident :S
