From the developer
Probably 2 weeks at an absolute minimum, there is no maximum as it depends on how many issues are found.
Thanks, so I guess this means roll out of phase 1 in 2018, as december is full of holidays. devs are people too and need breaks
March 2018 would be a good month to update, you can see this news had zero affect on the price and some "sell on news" movement on bittrex. Bitcoin price surge has got 100% of traders attention.
The coin deserves to be hanging with Dash on CMC but life isn't fair, devs must carry on doing what they doing.
