=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=950013
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1779150562
This is average time to mine a block
(1779150562-1231006505)/950013
bts=576.9852412701286507356733
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 16 17:46:25 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 950059
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue May 19 07:51:43 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 471.
The next fortnight happens in block
951552 and probably around this time:
Fri May 29 07:09:02 UTC 2026
