=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=928477
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1766102571
This is average time to mine a block
(1766102571-1231006505)/928477
bts=576.3152880305187629647659
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 8 14:22:13 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 928829
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Dec 21 08:23:53 UTC 2025
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 460.
The next fortnight happens in block
929376 and probably around this time:
Wed Dec 24 23:57:58 UTC 2025
