=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=953278
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1781204251
This is average time to mine a block
(1781204251-1231006505)/953278
bts=577.1633970747283848694873
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Sat Mar 18 21:44:09 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 953359
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Jun 12 07:56:41 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 472.
The next fortnight happens in block
953568 and probably around this time:
Sat Jun 13 17:27:08 UTC 2026
