=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=935703
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1770618464
This is average time to mine a block
(1770618464-1231006505)/935703
bts=576.6908755332883048485418
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Mon Mar 13 03:55:01 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 936639
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Feb 15 12:24:06 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 464.
The next fortnight happens in block
937440 and probably around this time:
Fri Feb 20 20:42:56 UTC 2026
