=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=964250
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1787809073
This is average time to mine a block
(1787809073-1231006505)/964250
bts=577.4456733775749260306704
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 08:03:59 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 964469
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Aug 28 16:45:33 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 478.
The next fortnight happens in block
965664 and probably around this time:
