I'll have a pool up and running for you guys for sure, when will be launched ?
When will Ubiq be launched?Hey ocminer. Yep, thanks again in advance!
So the short answer is that we are "ready to go" for launch and have extensively tested but we are delaying it for a few reasons. We will also post a new ANN thread closer to launch date.
Reasons to push it back:
The Ethereum network is experiencing some DoS attacks and they are actively improving the codebase. Their latest 2 releases are experimental/"bleeding edge". The last release was posted 3 days ago (
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.4.14) and states: "This is a Geth pre-release to counter the network DoS attacks from yesterday and those detected today. It is a prerelease (to help people get back on track fast) with further updates coming soon". We are waiting on these further updates to integrate them in.
We want to co-ordinate this with Bittrex and Bill writes "Can you make sure to send in a support ticket so we get it on our calendar. <snip> we are focused on the v2 launch so I want to make sure we got you guys scheduled"
We are considering having the code changes we have made in Ubiq reviewed by a Geth dev.
This PRE-ANN news thread will be new for a lot of people. They would need time to digest the information and speculate, buy/sell and claim their JBS addresses for the UBQ swap.
The launch will be definitely be in 2016. We are very eager to get the network up and running!
