=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=943883
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1775458851
This is average time to mine a block
(1775458851-1231006505)/943883
bts=576.8212471023981760470566
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 14 17:56:31 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 944449
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Apr 10 01:42:11 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 468.
The next fortnight happens in block
945504 and probably around this time:
Fri Apr 17 02:44:38 UTC 2026
