=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=947108
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1777440859
This is average time to mine a block
(1777440859-1231006505)/947108
bts=576.9498061997087980369735
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 16 07:26:18 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 947749
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun May 3 12:18:03 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 469.
The next fortnight happens in block
947520 and probably around this time:
Fri May 1 23:36:02 UTC 2026
