=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=973224
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1793009680
This is average time to mine a block
(1793009680-1231006505)/973224
bts=577.4647948829921138482879
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 13:38:37 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 973379
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 27 11:06:27 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 482.
The next fortnight happens in block
973728 and probably around this time:
Thu Oct 29 19:05:22 UTC 2026
