=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=902906
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1751003021
This is average time to mine a block
(1751003021-1231006505)/902906
bts=575.9137053982303825310912
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Fri Mar 3 17:14:31 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 903309
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Jun 29 22:11:54 UTC 2025
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 447.
The next fortnight happens in block
903168 and probably around this time:
Sat Jun 28 23:38:30 UTC 2025
