=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=931948
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1768203452
This is average time to mine a block
(1768203452-1231006505)/931948
bts=576.4231165010102484148810
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 9 21:49:13 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 932239
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Jan 14 06:13:11 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 462.
The next fortnight happens in block
933408 and probably around this time:
Thu Jan 22 01:23:49 UTC 2026
