=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=964265
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1787816590
This is average time to mine a block
(1787816590-1231006505)/964265
bts=577.4444862724600888136675
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 07:43:13 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 964469
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Aug 28 16:26:28 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 478.
The next fortnight happens in block
965664 and probably around this time:
