=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=962365
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1786678386
This is average time to mine a block
(1786678386-1231006505)/962365
bts=577.4018211366569475646479
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 19:16:34 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 963369
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Aug 20 20:34:57 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 477.
The next fortnight happens in block
963648 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 22 17:19:52 UTC 2026
