=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=970946
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1791730029
This is average time to mine a block
(1791730029-1231006505)/970946
bts=577.5016803182871979624016
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 00:24:06 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 971179
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 13 04:09:46 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 481.
The next fortnight happens in block
971712 and probably around this time:
Fri Oct 16 17:39:55 UTC 2026
