=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=972279
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1792479739
This is average time to mine a block
(1792479739-1231006505)/972279
bts=577.4810075286954375282840
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 18:22:20 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 973379
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 27 15:29:28 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 482.
The next fortnight happens in block
973728 and probably around this time:
Thu Oct 29 23:28:28 UTC 2026
