=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=944370
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1775759057
This is average time to mine a block
(1775759057-1231006505)/944370
bts=576.8416776881119814140840
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Tue Mar 14 23:54:03 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 944449
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Apr 10 07:03:47 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 468.
The next fortnight happens in block
945504 and probably around this time:
Fri Apr 17 08:06:35 UTC 2026
