That miner software is in a early beta testing phase so it is likely to not work in many cases. It is something we are not yet able to wrap up since we have our resources focused on the marketplace app.

However: You could run https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/tag/v5.11.1
You can download from there and run the following command:

Code:

xmrig.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.safex.org:4411 -a rx/sfx -u <replace_with_safex_address>

Safexcore: The Blockchain Marketplace Protocol
Last week on Wednesday we released testnet 6.3 as mentioned in the last Monday's update. After a few days we recognized an additional edge case and promptly addressed the inconsistency.

This morning Igor published an updated testnet to version 6.4.

In this update we have included:
An error came up in the feedback database where if the same content of feedback was stored for the same offer it would create a break in the consensus system. This has been now corrected to allow the proper storage and sorting.

In addition to addressing the above issue, Igor also refactored the database when storing advanced transactions. Previously, the index of advanced outputs was not properly stored and now this is updated. The original implementation was generic, and did not check for the contents of specific outputs. This component has been improved to specifically check for the corresponding transaction output. This is improves the stability and reliability of nodes when verifying transactions and including them in blocks.

In cases where many of the same transaction are sent to the blockchain related to the marketplace the nodes may get confused as to which transaction to include and how to discern between them. Now the nodes should work flawlessly with the improvement to the database and the interpretation of data.

As an additional measure the wallet will wait for a certain amount of blocks before allow additional transactions. This will help nodes maintain consensus without transactions getting ahead of any potential orphan blocks, that may occur more frequently on blockchains that are growing constantly in hashrate and usage.


Note: the Safex Cash mining hashrate has increased 30% over the past week.

Here you can download the 6.4 testnet binaries:
https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/0.0.6.4

TWM Wallet | API
During the last week Daniel worked on the API aspect of the marketplace application. In order to receive messages, verify, and provide actions to marketplace users the TWM API will store and serve this data. Of course all actions are signed cryptographically and verified before updating the database.

First off, is the account registration route. You can freely register with the blockchain, but then the API can sweep that information from the blockchain, and provide a more flexible rendering of the information into a website interface or a wallet.

The API enables administrative curation as well, which you will be able to clone and run your own instance, only your own user account, and immediately have a personal website for your shop.

This is one example of what will be possible with this API.

Immediate tasks handled during the past week were related to registering a PGP Key with the API so that we will be able to store encrypted messages. During the time when you register your account you could generate a PGP Key and store the finger print in your description. The actual key gets stored in your wallet, and also submitted to TWM API. Now, you will be able to securely and verfiably communicate with other merchants on the marketplace.

To further this, tasks include aligning message management on a per offer per purchase basis, and the ability to enable or disable open direct contact for sellers. In most cases you only want to receive a shipping address, yet with a system like this it will be easy to open up a direct contact to figure out preference, or inquire on a product.

The most recent build of the TWM Wallet for testnet that includes a list of items from the blockchain is available here:
https://github.com/safex/twmwallet/releases/tag/0.0.4-list-offers


Safex Bitcoin Wallet Interrupted
On April 23, a backward incompatible change came into play on the omni node that is a part of the Safex Bitcoin/Migration Wallet. In response we had to update the node and rescan the blockchain which took a few days due to the limitation of the omni node sync system.

Service is now restored, and it is a good time to take the opportunity to mention, that we have planned a standalone bitcoin wallet by removing the omni elements so that you can continue to use the bitcoin side of it from the same wallet file. We will be able to discontinue support on the omni node. A few months from now.

Thank you for tuning in this week, we look forward to bringing more good news for you next week!

Sincerely,
The Safex Development Community

Safex Blockchain: Marketplace Staging Network
Today we are publishing the binaries for Stagenet 1. In this deployment is the entire protocol for:

Account Creation
Editing Accounts
Listing an Offer
Editing the Offer
Creating a Price Oracle
Linking an Offer to a Price Oracle
Purchasing
Leaving Feedback post Purchase
Staking Tokens
Unstaking Tokens and retrieving Revenue Share
The block height to activate the advanced transaction features takes place on block 89400. The current block height on the stagenet is 87345, so in 2000 blocks the marketplace features activate on the blockchain. This is the best way to simulate what the mainnet transition will be like.

Each 770 blocks is approximately 1 day, so just less than 3 days from now, all marketplace functionality will start being accepted by the nodes on the blockchain, simulating a mainnet transition.

This gives time for node operators to update their software ahead of the feature changes taking place throughout the network.

To join in as a node operator the binaries are published on the github here: https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/0.1

You will use the --stagenet flag to join the network this time.

Later in the week we will publish the TWM Wallet for download to begin utilizing the world marketplace in the stagenet from the GUI.
Follow the transaction of the stagenet here: http://stagenet1.safex.org/

This is a huge milestone,  that things go well from here and that we have success proving our work on the way to mainnet launch.

Sincerely
The Safex Development Community

Here is the latest update:

Stagenet Updated to version 1.1
During last week we launched the Stagenet; however, one of the parameter settings for activating the marketplace functionality did not have a properly set timestamp so the blockchain did not turn on the marketplace functionality. We pushed forward a patch to adjust the timestamp for activation and so far we are confirmed to be up and running.

Last week also we gained some feedback of excessive CPU usage by the full nodes. To address this Igor implemented an optimization that reduced the CPU load and brought those under control.

A download for the updated full node is available here --> https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/0.1.1

TWM Wallet | API
The TWM Wallet and API are still not ready for release this week. Both aspects of the project have progressed significantly and the main prototyping to be cleaned up to be released. This week ahead will be focused on deploying an instance of the API that will manage messaging with purchases, as well as registering vendors to manage messages and orders.

If all goes well this week then the wallet will be released as soon as it is confirmed and working. This is at the front line of delivery at the moment.

Script for counting the marketplace transactions
Also last week, I’ve published a script that developers can use to count block by block the marketplace transactions taking place.

We have a new update guys!

Stagenet 1.2 Update
This week we are releasing the Stagenet 1.2 version with some important bug fixes, these bug fixes are not protocol breaking but do affect user experience, and updates for compilation:

    Better output selection for purchase
    Proper fix for sweep unmixable
    Fix ratings print in simplewallet
    Fix for newer GCC version builds
    Resolved dependencies in the code for future libwallet build system

The updated binaries for the Safexd is available below. This is for the stagenet marketplace testing.

    https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/0.1.2 9

An overview of the Safex Marketplace Stagenet 1
Daniel has produced a briefing video showing the account creation, offer listing, and viewing the marketplace items all pulled directly from the blockchain.

TWM Wallet | Windows Build Progress
Igor created a prototype for the windows processes that is successful during the last week; and now he will go ahead and convert the bridge between the GUI and the blockchain for the windows interaction; however, it will take much more time than simply another one week in order to update the Windows API for the wallet and development test it.

TWM Wallet | OSX Build Progress
Since last week releasing the Mac OSX version of the TWM Wallet, there are some of us who are not able to load the wallet successfully. We have a list of reported version and circumstances and we will research the bug related to that in this week.

TWM Wallet | Progress
Nonetheless, we are continuing to update the user experience and view of the wallet. During last week we had a team session with 10 members from our testing group where we came forward with all of our suggestions and findings on how to proceed to improve the marketplace experience.

If you’re hopping in just now you can find the link to start testing the marketplace application for linux and mac osx here:

TWM Wallet | Update

The bridge between the blockchain and the wallet user interface is now repurposed to work with the Windows platform. Igor pulled through during last week and managed to put it together and test it. As a result of that we must now update the nodejs part of the application to conform to the new architecture of the bridge. This will take a few days this week and from there we can build for all of the platforms, including Windows.

Once we update the project we will revisit the OSX errors as they may become resolved with the changes that were introduced to the bridge software.

The Safexcore repository was updated in the wallet api to match some of the new functions in the libwallet (bridge wallet), these changes were related to the build system for the new code that was introduced to the libwallet project.

    https://github.com/safex/safex-nodejs-libwallet/commit/0f9ee4aba6f3e8c8308bdd2c524ecfdc2d4bfc76 7

You can see in the latest pull request from Igor the changes that were introduced that have put the project at the cutting edge which has proven to address compatibility with a successful build already produced.

Additional functionality was also enabled as a result where now we have new trigger functions when funds are received which can increase users awareness when using the wallet. more real time.

TWM API | Progression
During last week Daniel moved the api forward and completed full scan and serve of accounts from the Safex Blockchain. Next on the list is to solidify parsing offers and then messaging can be combined from there and the API published.

With the publishing of the API we should transition to the stagenet 2 phase, and bring on the final testing round of the world marketplace application in the safex blockchain.

Safex.org | Safex Mining Innovative Currency Distribution Algorithm: The S-Curve
A new article published on safex.org 7 that discusses the S-Curve strategy for coin distribution via proof of work as a viable strategy to match emission of monetary supply and adoption of technology. It also covers a comparison of other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, litecoin, and monero and how the emission curves of these coins are not favoring new adoption and individual miners in comparison to the emission strategy of safex.

You can read and see for yourself: https://safex.org/blog/the-economics-of-mining-calculating-your-cost-basis-and-profit-and-loss/

TL;DR
Moving forward with the Windows build (tested and works); could be available next week to download, the API layer is moving forward: once published stagenet 2 commences.
