=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=972909
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1792836290
This is average time to mine a block
(1792836290-1231006505)/972909
bts=577.4735432876627848413522
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 16:11:42 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 973379
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 27 13:28:22 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 482.
The next fortnight happens in block
973728 and probably around this time:
Thu Oct 29 21:27:20 UTC 2026
