=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=960732
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1785674375
This is average time to mine a block
(1785674375-1231006505)/960732
bts=577.3382094713099268995652
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 00:43:22 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 961169
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Aug 5 10:44:31 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 476.
The next fortnight happens in block
961632 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 8 12:59:39 UTC 2026
