=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=904597
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1751975694
This is average time to mine a block
(1751975694-1231006505)/904597
bts=575.9123820746895305981220
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Fri Mar 3 16:51:22 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 905509
predicted to happen at this time:
Mon Jul 14 13:48:46 UTC 2025
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 448.
The next fortnight happens in block
905184 and probably around this time:
Sat Jul 12 09:49:14 UTC 2025
