=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=970246
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1791326892
This is average time to mine a block
(1791326892-1231006505)/970246
bts=577.5028286611553552858189
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 00:44:12 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 971179
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 13 04:28:22 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 481.
The next fortnight happens in block
971712 and probably around this time:
Fri Oct 16 17:58:31 UTC 2026
