=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=956794
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1783259813
This is average time to mine a block
(1783259813-1231006505)/956794
bts=577.1908381628248475378738
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Sun Mar 19 05:44:22 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 957759
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Jul 12 00:40:02 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 474.
The next fortnight happens in block
957600 and probably around this time:
Fri Jul 10 23:10:28 UTC 2026
