=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=943499
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1775219824
This is average time to mine a block
(1775219824-1231006505)/943499
bts=576.8026698463169051404345
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 14 12:31:25 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 944449
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Apr 9 20:49:46 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 468.
The next fortnight happens in block
945504 and probably around this time:
Thu Apr 16 21:51:53 UTC 2026
