=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=967298
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1789574634
This is average time to mine a block
(1789574634-1231006505)/967298
bts=577.4513661236081087647149
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 09:43:36 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 967769
predicted to happen at this time:
Sat Sep 19 19:36:53 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 479.
The next fortnight happens in block
967680 and probably around this time:
Sat Sep 19 05:20:20 UTC 2026
