=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=962830
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1786938877
This is average time to mine a block
(1786938877-1231006505)/962830
bts=577.3935114262004443147343
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 16:51:09 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 963369
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Aug 20 18:21:32 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 477.
The next fortnight happens in block
963648 and probably around this time:
