=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=952153
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1780435211
This is average time to mine a block
(1780435211-1231006505)/952153
bts=577.0376493718453107375487
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Fri Mar 17 09:03:33 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 952259
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Jun 3 14:19:36 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 472.
The next fortnight happens in block
953568 and probably around this time:
Fri Jun 12 08:08:39 UTC 2026
