=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=973716
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1793292777
This is average time to mine a block
(1793292777-1231006505)/973716
bts=577.4637517882505902639062
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 13:20:21 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 974479
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Nov 3 19:16:21 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 482.
The next fortnight happens in block
973728 and probably around this time:
Thu Oct 29 18:48:26 UTC 2026
