=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=961947
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1786416479
This is average time to mine a block
(1786416479-1231006505)/961947
bts=577.3804550765737856931975
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 13:02:40 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 962269
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Aug 13 06:26:35 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 477.
The next fortnight happens in block
963648 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 22 11:36:43 UTC 2026
