=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=961372
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1786076400
This is average time to mine a block
(1786076400-1231006505)/961372
bts=577.3720449815004165916870
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 10:35:29 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 962269
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Aug 13 04:11:42 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 476.
The next fortnight happens in block
961632 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 8 22:01:56 UTC 2026
