Shows an estimate of the amount of time, on average, that you will need to do mining at the specified hash rate before you will generate a block and earn bitcoins. Additionally, the optimistic (50% probability) and pessimistic (95% probability) estimates are shown as well.

The hash rate refers to the rate that your mining hardware is performing at as reported by your miner software or from an estimate obtained from the mining hardware comparison tables.
