=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=937704
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1771702445
This is average time to mine a block
(1771702445-1231006505)/937704
bts=576.6162492468313595427133
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Sun Mar 12 06:09:03 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 937739
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Feb 22 01:10:26 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 465.
The next fortnight happens in block
939456 and probably around this time:
Thu Mar 5 12:11:16 UTC 2026
