=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=961089
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1785889579
This is average time to mine a block
(1785889579-1231006505)/961089
bts=577.3476719141807739129530
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 21 03:28:57 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 961169
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Aug 5 13:16:06 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 476.
The next fortnight happens in block
961632 and probably around this time:
Sat Aug 8 15:31:18 UTC 2026
