=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=957664
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1783836262
This is average time to mine a block
(1783836262-1231006505)/957664
bts=577.2684153644541671670156
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Mon Mar 20 04:21:58 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 957759
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Jul 12 21:18:22 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 475.
The next fortnight happens in block
959616 and probably around this time:
Sat Jul 25 07:04:49 UTC 2026
