REWARD EPOCHS
Every four years, the bitcoin subsidy gets halved for each block
mined.
A Reward Epoch is that four year period.
Reward Epoch 1:
2009-2012
Block reward:
50 bitcoin
= (50 bitcoin * 210.000 blocks) = 10.500.000 bitcoin
1+0+5+0+0+0+0+0 =
6
Reward Epoch 2:
2012-2016
Block reward:
25 bitcoin
= (25 * 210.000) = 5.250.000 bitcoin
5+2+5+0+0+0+0 =
12
Reward Epoch 3:
2016-2020
Block reward:
12,5 bitcoin
= (12,5 * 210.000) = 2.625.000 bitcoin
2+6+2+5+0+0+0 =
15
Reward Epoch 4:
2020-2024
Block reward:
6,25 bitcoin
= (6,25 * 210.000) = 1.312.500 bitcoin
1+3+1+2+5+0+0 =
12
Reward Epoch 5:
2024-2028
Block reward:
3,125 bitcoin
= (3,125 * 210.000) = 656.250 bitcoin
6+5+6+2+5+0 =
24
Reward Epoch 6:
2028-2032
Block reward:
1,5625 btc
= (1,5625 * 210.000) = 328.125 bitcoin
3+2+8+1+2+5 =
21
Reward Epoch 7:
2032-2036
Block reward:
0,78125 btc
= (0,78125*210.000) = 164.062,5 bitcoin
1+6+4+0+6+2+5 =
24
2+4 =
6
... and so on until 2140
