The tertiary block in the etheric square (uncle Blocks)

Solitary blocks (orphan block)

In the Bitcoin protocol, the longest chain is considered absolutely correct. If a block is not part of the longest chain, it is called a "solitary block." An isolated block is a block, it is also legal, but it is found later, or the network transmission is slightly slower, but not as part of the longest chain. In Bitcoin, the lone block has no meaning and will then be discarded, discovering that the lone miner is not rewarded with mining-related rewards. the heaviest chain (heaviest)

Ethereum's ghost agreement, does not think that the solitary block is worthless, but will give a return to the miners who found the solitary block. In the etheric square, solitary blocks are called "Tertiary blocks" (Uncle Block), which can contribute to the security of the main chain.

In relative terms, the Bitcoin has a long block interval. In a Bitcoin block, an average of approximately 10 minutes is a confirmation (that is, a new subsequent block is found). But since the inception of Bitcoin, a lot of research on block-chain technology has been developed. These studies show that shorter block intervals are indeed possible and are needed in many scenarios. However, with faster block speeds, the increased cost and waste of solitary blocks increases.

The ghost agreement paid to the tert-block, which encouraged the miners to cite the new-found blocks. The main chain is heavier by referring to the tertiary block. In Bitcoin, the longest chain is the main chain. In the Etheric Square, the main chain refers to the heaviest chain. the benefits of the tertiary block

Two problems were solved:
1. The etheric square more than 10 seconds of the block spacing, greatly increased the generation of solitary block, and reduce the security. By encouraging the reference of tertiary blocks, the reference to the main chain to obtain more security guarantees (because the lone block itself is also legal)
2. In bitcoin, mining centralization (large pools of concentrated ore) becomes a problem. The payment to the tertiary block can alleviate the problem to some extent. the reference block of the tertiary block can not be referenced, or up to two tertiary block tert-block must be the first 2 layers of the block before the first 7-storey ancestors of the direct sub-block cited by the tertiary blocks can not be repeated references to the block of tertiary block, to get the mining compensation of 1/32, that is 5*1/32=0.15625 Ether. It is obtained that the 2*0.15625=0.3125 ether is referred to as the Tertiary block, and the compensation of the miners is related to the interval layer between the tertiary block and the block.
