=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=945380
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1776370106
This is average time to mine a block
(1776370106-1231006505)/945380
bts=576.8717596397642855102863
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 15 08:40:29 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 945549
predicted to happen at this time:
Fri Apr 17 23:13:17 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 468.
The next fortnight happens in block
945504 and probably around this time:
Fri Apr 17 16:00:38 UTC 2026
