Do we have a scheduled date for uncle mining launch ?
Q4 2018
This is from the team for all that do not know
"Uncle Mining is a cryptonote first that rewards miners for work done on abandoned blocks that were not the first to be written to the blockchain. This adds more hashpower (mining power) and 'weight' to the network, making it more secure. This subsequently allows us to significantly speed up our block emission rate for faster confirmations, while further securing the network.
Code for this is nearing completion and is being staged for testnet.
The website is the most accurate timeline although please note that it is tentative. Any updates will be posted accordingly.
