=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=973673
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1793266982
This is average time to mine a block
(1793266982-1231006505)/973673
bts=577.4627616635547421416202
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 13:03:02 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 974479
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Nov 3 19:00:16 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 482.
The next fortnight happens in block
973728 and probably around this time:
Thu Oct 29 18:32:22 UTC 2026
