=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=929959
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1766978290
This is average time to mine a block
(1766978290-1231006505)/929959
bts=576.3385360660673577358165
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 8 21:09:04 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 930039
predicted to happen at this time:
Mon Dec 29 16:06:37 UTC 2025
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 461.
The next fortnight happens in block
931392 and probably around this time:
Wed Jan 7 16:43:03 UTC 2026
