=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=970254
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1791330615
This is average time to mine a block
(1791330615-1231006505)/970254
bts=577.5019041386027384553545
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 00:28:01 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 971179
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 13 04:13:24 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 481.
The next fortnight happens in block
971712 and probably around this time:
Fri Oct 16 17:43:32 UTC 2026
