=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=932697
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1768683372
This is average time to mine a block
(1768683372-1231006505)/932697
bts=576.4747721127310233323112
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Fri Mar 10 12:53:12 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 933339
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Jan 22 03:44:28 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 462.
The next fortnight happens in block
933408 and probably around this time:
Thu Jan 22 14:47:25 UTC 2026
