=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=961233
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1785980891
This is average time to mine a block
(1785980891-1231006505)/961233
bts=577.3561754994101332245842
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 05:57:46 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 962269
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Aug 12 23:57:11 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 476.
The next fortnight happens in block
961632 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 8 17:47:36 UTC 2026
