=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=955401
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1782423841
This is average time to mine a block
(1782423841-1231006505)/955401
bts=577.1574018057320374041502
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Sat Mar 18 19:59:14 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 955559
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Jun 26 23:03:51 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 473.
The next fortnight happens in block
955584 and probably around this time:
Sat Jun 27 03:04:20 UTC 2026
