=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=946266
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1776917154
This is average time to mine a block
(1776917154-1231006505)/946266
bts=576.9097400627941162483738
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 15 19:45:08 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 946649
predicted to happen at this time:
Sat Apr 25 17:28:30 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 469.
The next fortnight happens in block
947520 and probably around this time:
