=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=947140
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1777462794
This is average time to mine a block
(1777462794-1231006505)/947140
bts=576.9534726086189912589572
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 16 08:30:28 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 947749
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun May 3 13:15:58 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 469.
The next fortnight happens in block
947520 and probably around this time:
Sat May 2 00:33:56 UTC 2026
