=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=932038
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1768256813
This is average time to mine a block
(1768256813-1231006505)/932038
bts=576.4247075497913713911113
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 9 22:17:04 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 932239
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Jan 14 06:37:54 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 462.
The next fortnight happens in block
933408 and probably around this time:
Thu Jan 22 01:48:34 UTC 2026
