=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=942498
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1774631470
This is average time to mine a block
(1774631470-1231006505)/942498
bts=576.7910257729716424102306
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 14 09:07:38 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 943349
predicted to happen at this time:
Thu Apr 2 09:31:59 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 467.
The next fortnight happens in block
943488 and probably around this time:
Fri Apr 3 07:48:13 UTC 2026
