=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=959412
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1784889303
This is average time to mine a block
(1784889303-1231006505)/959412
bts=577.3142515267147724702500
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Mon Mar 20 17:44:06 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 959959
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Jul 28 02:18:13 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 475.
The next fortnight happens in block
959616 and probably around this time:
Sat Jul 25 19:17:55 UTC 2026
