=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=974202
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1793587930
This is average time to mine a block
(1793587930-1231006505)/974202
bts=577.4786415151667568258360
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 17:40:56 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 974479
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Nov 3 23:18:11 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 483.
The next fortnight happens in block
975744 and probably around this time:
Thu Nov 12 10:13:22 UTC 2026
