=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=961245
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1785988069
This is average time to mine a block
(1785988069-1231006505)/961245
bts=577.3564352933588280211309
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 06:02:19 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 962269
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Aug 13 00:01:21 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 476.
The next fortnight happens in block
961632 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 8 17:51:45 UTC 2026
