=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=970041
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1791212501
This is average time to mine a block
(1791212501-1231006505)/970041
bts=577.5069491836435948134204
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 01:56:19 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 970079
predicted to happen at this time:
Mon Oct 5 21:07:26 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 481.
The next fortnight happens in block
971712 and probably around this time:
