Wave hard fork coming up on 15th Dec.

Scalability is a concern for any blockchain that aims to be enterprise-ready, and yet few crypto platforms have addressed this satisfactorily.

Okay, thanks for the info. I mean, I knew there were soon to be implemented updates but it seems ages since I remember the hard fork being mentioned. Probably need to read a little better next time I catch up, or remind myself time passes quicker than I normally expect. BTW, OP, your link does not work but here is the blog update to schedule it for block  795,000.

Looking forward to 22 Dec when NG is in place and we get our new wallet!

I think this is a good thing for the Waves platform but what I personally don't understand is the team miners been used in the blog post, I think Waves is a Proof of stake platform so who are those mining on their platform, is it the same as node runners
