=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=967724
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1789836599
This is average time to mine a block
(1789836599-1231006505)/967724
bts=577.4678694877160350306130
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 14:32:25 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 967769
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Sep 20 00:03:05 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 480.
The next fortnight happens in block
969696 and probably around this time:
