=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=951880
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1780250581
This is average time to mine a block
(1780250581-1231006505)/951880
bts=577.0091807694449201108121
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Fri Mar 17 00:45:21 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 952259
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Jun 3 06:47:47 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 472.
The next fortnight happens in block
953568 and probably around this time:
Fri Jun 12 00:36:12 UTC 2026
