=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=950875
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1779664747
This is average time to mine a block
(1779664747-1231006505)/950875
bts=577.0029341365225329064988
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 16 22:56:02 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 951159
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue May 26 20:50:15 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 471.
The next fortnight happens in block
951552 and probably around this time:
Fri May 29 11:49:37 UTC 2026
