Here is the update!  

TWM Wallet
During last week Daniel completed the refactoring of the TWM Wallet for the updated Safex Blockchain to Graphical User Interface bridge. This was a part of updating that bridge to the now modern elements and a new flow that will allow it to build on the Windows platform.

After full testing of the refactor a minor bug emerged that is already known and will be patched tomorrow by Igor and the build should be fully operational as it was before the updates.

This is a release for the windows platform although may be buggy: https://github.com/safex/twmwallet/releases/tag/1.0.0-Stagenet1-Window-Debug

Once Igor completes the task to fix this bug in the bridge it will stabilize the usage. Long story short, using the wallet as is for Token and Cash sending is all good, however, marketplace functions may crash the application if done too many in succession. This will be corrected promptly and the full release testing build will be released with it this week.

TWM API
The TWM Wallet being up to date, the attention goes fully on the API and integrating the messaging and filtering for a good communication and trading experience.

Safexcore Marketplace Protocol
During last week Igor has been implementing some additional test cases for token staking and unstaking. Token stake and rev share are some of the first features implemented in the marketplace protocol journey, so we are now coming in full circle of rigorous testing and now coming home back to the token staking and unstaking.

These test cases serve to prove the system works as it is stated and it is the final feature set for Igor to complete coverage ahead of launching.

Safex Marketplace Protocol Documentation
This is also arriving at a full revamp of the system documentation that we expect to publish within the upcoming weeks. Our expectation is to open testing of stagenet 2 with the messaging and order management, and review documentation in preparations for mainnet launch.

Sincerely,
The Safex Development Community

Here is the latest Safex Dev Update:

TWM Wallet | Windows
Last week we wrapped up the build for the Windows platform and released the TWM Wallet. It is available to download here:

    https://github.com/safex/twmwallet/releases/tag/1.0.0-Stagenet1-Window-Debug

We have started up a thread for handling any feedback or bug reports related to the wallet and so far we are getting some good feedback from many of our community members. This is great since we now have a clear place to execute fixes from.

  Stagenet 1: Windows GUI 4

There is also a quick start guide here by @aussiesloth:

  Stagenet 1: Windows GUI - Getting Started 4

You can track the progress of the stagenet 1 marketplace here: http://safex.ninja/stats
Since the release of the TWM Wallet for Windows last week you can see the transactions surging now.

Also, the OSX issue is next at the top of priorities to work out.

TWM API
This week we expect to begin integration of the messaging and product listing via API into the TWM Wallet. This will set off the final testing phase ahead of mainnet.

Safexcore | Documentation
Igor has continued with the documentation and he expects that by next week’s update to have all of the advanced transactions that we designed and built to be covered by documentation.

The purpose of this is to be able to communicate the work that has been done to other developers quickly with the hope to onboard more members to the development team for our future development ambitions.

Sincerely,
The Safex Development Community

DEV UPDATE GUYS!

TWM API
The initial constructs for the API are published for storing Users and Offers, and then serving them over the API. This is getting deployed to a url to be used in testing in this week and it will start getting integrated into the wallet this week. The modules for registering with the API and messaging are next to be published and integrated.

TWM Wallet
The TWM Wallet continues to adopt new elements for working in tandem with APIs that will allow us to categorize products and enable people to host their own shops with their own criteria.

During last week we confirmed a fix for the OSX version, however, with the merge of a lot of changes we did not yet produce a downloadable build. It is at the top of the todo list to get the OSX build into everyone’s hands.

Stagenet 2
Stagenet 2 is planning to be released during next week (Target Sept 15th). Igor has wrapped the several adjustments over the months that addressed minor issues. This stagenet 2 will not require a network restart and we will keep going from where we left off with Stagenet 1; however, we will release a new client.

2nd Year of the Safex Blockchain Operating
Note: on September 3rd, 2018 we started the mining of Safex Cash and the Safex Blockchain was born. :sunrise_over_mountains:

Dev Update:

TWM API
During the deployment last week, Dan found there are offers that are not parsing properly, so this is up on deck to correct. Besides the minor bug, there is now the code published for populating the database with users and offers, as well as the admin routes for approving a user, and then the you can approve an offer for that approved user. Also the routes for fetching offers that have been approved.

An additional update coming to the API is the ability to set the category from a drop down menu. Then the API will be able to serve offers and curate by category. This should improve search-ability, and API admins can also share curated lists of real products that can be used throughout the ecosystem to start to filter through good product listings and useless ones should they crop up.

Messaging still in queue to integrate and publish pending this bug in parsing.

TWM Wallet
The TWM Wallet now features an order management tab, so it will be possible to easily manage incoming purchases and track messages with opened orders. These orders will populate from the messaging aspect of the API, which are end to end encrypted between the seller, the purchaser (or the prospective purchaser).

There is also a new bug after the fix for OSX builds that causes the wallet to crash after sending an advanced transaction such as account creation. Igor will be checking the scope of the bug in case it is related to the changes for the OSX build, or if it is some other related bug to electron. This is on deck for this week with some of the updates in safexcore being completed in the last week mentioned next…

Safexcore | Stagenet 2
Igor found some additional elements he wanted to cover and he deviated to develop additional coverage. Unstaking tokens additional checks have been added, along with a full look at the rest of the advanced transactions in case this would also apply to them.

This came alongside preparations for Stagenet 2 supposed to be on the 15th (tomorrow) however we will now pick up the deployment of Stagenet 2 and will be a week delayed. There are a few additional elements to cover on Daniel’s recommendation, so to release a fulfilling stagenet 2 we will need these added to the testing suite before moving forward to the next and final phase of this round for v1 marketplace application.

Exchange Listings
Our community team continues to lock in exchange listings, and when we have a good threshold (5-10) exchanges on deck we look forward to recommending them to the community and proceed from there.

Thank you for your support up to now, won’t be long until Stagenet 2, stay tuned. :sunrise_over_mountains:

DEV UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 21st
The Bug Is Squashed!

Stagenet 2
Stagenet 2 is going live this week, and we are going ahead without restarting the network.

There is only one condition as part of the Token Stake update you will need to do a hard rescan in the wallet to get back to the original position.

We are expecting this to be a great test of transitioning between versions and seeing that everything syncs up properly.

Igor will start the update process tomorrow, and publish the binaries for Stagenet 2.

TWM Wallet | Up to Date
During last week, Daniel ironed out the new pattern in the wallet advanced transactions and now the wallet is building and deliverable again. This comes after the big update to the C++ adapter which bridges the graphical wallet to the blockchain two weeks ago. Now that this is all seamed together we are able to complete the implementation of the wallet to the GUI and move forward with the final flow of contacting a seller and sending shipping info when purchasing, and finally of course the ability to leave feedback.

This week with the Stagenet 2 will be released the TWM Wallet for OSX, Windows, and Linux.

Safex.org 6 website update
In the near future, next couple of weeks, we will be deploying an updated website and redirecting safex.io 3 to safex.org 5

Safexcore
Igor wrapped up a bulk of testing cases and audits that covered the advanced transactions as well as the final frontier of the protocol which was a refactor of the staking system.

These are coverage and testing that audit the functionality through the entire flow:
New additional unit tests for the case of the potential issue of someone attempting to reference an uncontrolled account for an edit. This feature is covered, with additional probing and insurance that this feature passes correctly and in fact only the account owner is capable of editing the account.

A full scale audit for signature replay attacks is now covered. The case if someone attempted to reuse a signature from a previous transaction is blocked due to the requirement to sign transactions with the transaction prefix. Making it not possible to replay data and successfully sign that transaction.

Token staking audit concluded with new code that monitors and checks both inputs and outputs ensuring that each are appropriately assigned before being included in the block when taking tokens, and unstaking tokens.

Furthermore, an inprogress feature for unstaking will come as an update on the wallet side to allow you to select which token stake transaction you would want to unstake, whereas currently the wallet selects what to unstake without user selection.

TWM API
During last week the API was updated with user registration and messaging is following. At the moment it is now possible to store your PGP key with the API server and this will lead to spawn an encrypted channel between users on the marketplace.

Additionally, a new parser is being added to the block explorer to more easily utilize the data from the blockchain in other environments.

With the TWM Wallet now normalized the API integration can move in without the interference of that looming bug for reintegrating the C++ bridge into the GUI wallet, now squashed.

Sincerely,
The Safex Development Community

im getting ~12000 h/s on a ryzen 3900x stock, going to try and overclock it if possible and see the difference. With the emission structure solo mining might be viable and would act as an indirect hedge on net hash. Maybe one of the pools could setup a solo mining stratum.

price is starting to rise, 100 sats soon

Market cap for safex cash is so low good time to buy cheap

Has anyone thought about selling GPU's on the marketplace? Could even sort them based on testing benchmarks and price accordingly.

SAFEX UPDATE 12.10.2020 - https://forum.safex.org/t/safex-dev-update-october-12-2020/7188

New website on Safex.org 2
This week we are putting up our new webpage design online. We are adding more content to the website, and we’re glad to put up a clean refreshed and quickly loading website.

We are in progress redirecting the .io website to safex.org 1 and will be complete in this week and from now on we will begin using safex.org 1 as the main webpage for communicating the safex value proposition as well as any content relevant to Safex and the marketplace.

The blog remains in place and it is accessible from the new webpage.

TWM Wallet
Last week Daniel integrated an updated end point for reliable parsing of the blockchain data for offers and other data sets pulled out of the blockchain. There was inconsistency when parsing offers from the blockchain which prevented the wallet from reliably rendering complete data. This is now corrected and integrated to the API layer which means we can finally move forward and complete the integration into the wallet.

We were hoping to release this wallet next week, however, it will likely be yet on the following dev update to release the v1 twm wallet.

Also, new designs for the wallet are in progress so that when we launch the wallet with mainnet enabled, everything is guided and clean and proper. :sunrise:

Coindeal Safex Cash Delisting
A heads up to users of coindeal.com, please withdraw your Safex Cash from their exchange. Supposedly it will be closed by the end of October, so please withdraw all of your Safex from coindeal.

While we did discuss some idea to leave the coin remain, members of our team determined that we will not be willing to reach a deal. Considering feedback from the community and the general development of coindeal over the years it is better to focus on new strong partners for the Safex community. We are not happy how coindeal is approaching the matter and it is a signal not to pursue.

Please remember to remove your Safex Cash from coindeal.com before the end of the month.

Blockonomi blog post
This week we woke up to some coverage of the Safex Project on blockonomi.com. We’re glad to share this article with the community as it is succinct and up to date on our ecosystem and our project. Finally, it seems that we are earning recognition:

SAFEX DEV UPDATE 19.10.2020 - https://forum.safex.org/t/safex-dev-update-october-19-2020/7191

TWM Wallet
Last week saw a continuation on the design side of the wallet and so far it is at around 25% completion. Daniel has been setting up the wallet project to accept the merge of the new routes for browsing items, for registering with an API, and for messaging (shipping, or open dialogue or both :yum:) This merger is being worked on together with the designs since some aspects of the layout are facing a bit of adjustments. We’re glad to see the wallet progress to this point of choosing colors and placement for the final elements.

The API will also be visited this week with new endpoints published for registering and making messages. This is all coming in after the merger of the new decode_safex_ouput route that was added to safexcore so that we developers can get a perfect parse of data pulled from the blockchain.

These updates are moving ahead quickly, and we are focused to release them for testing, and we will do so ahead of the finalized design implementation.

Stagenet 2.1 | Safexcore and Wallet Updates
Igor was engaged with a few tasks during the last week and the previous week. He went through clearing all build warnings. Also, Igor merged the decode_safex_output RPC call to the Safexcore node software, this enables developers to be able to send the raw blockchain data of an offer and receive back a fully parsed output of the data inside for easy consumption across the development platforms that are out there.

Additionally, Igor addressed an edge case in the wallet where if you try to purchase a product but received many small amounts, and the purchase would then require many transactions to complete. This occurs for people who are mining since the rewards come frequently and are small. Igor changed the way that the wallet selects Inputs for a purchase transaction to better selectively choose and complete the transaction.

Igor is also merging a testing suite that audits the feedback mechanism and it is now fully covered with tests and ready for release. He also added a new test proving Safex Token’s double spend prevention. While doing so, Igor updated the wallet to improve the sweep_unmixable command for tokens.

Furthermore, Igor removed some redundant code that has now improved blockchain synchronization time by ~30%.

Safex Documentation
Daniel and Igor are working in tandem to sort out the official Whitepaper for the Safex Blockchain and the Marketplace and they are expecting to have a first draft ready this week.

Exchanges
Our team is actively pursuing exchange listings. We will be in touch with the community as things are developing further.

Safex Dev Update: 26.10.2020 https://forum.safex.org/t/safex-dev-update-october-26-2020/7200

TWM Wallet
Last week Daniel was working on the merger of the API to the wallet, and in the process faced a few road blocks that are all clearly understood and approach to address them are mapped out for this week. These are related to the messaging API that will enable buyers to supply information to vendors to receive their products.

Beyond the API integration, the TWM Wallet design update has progressed and has faced a first review. This week we plan to have the designs begin to be implemented into code on the TWM Wallet interface.

Exchange Listing
Last week we have submitted our full application to one exchange. As this develops we will communicate with the community.

Safexcore & Wallet-RPC
Igor adjusted some logic in the case that two purchases entered the blockchain network. If these purchases caused an invalid block, then both purchase transactions would be returned to the mem pool to be processed versus the second being dropped off of the network immediately.

In light of our community moving forward with our mainnet application and our pursuit of exchange listings, Igor is now allocating time to ensure that our wallet-rpc library is in good working order. So far we have been using this wallet-rpc without issue for the past 2 years. Nonetheless, we will be putting some efforts if needed to improve and conform with our know-how there. We feel it is worth the consideration.

Marketplace Whitepaper
Last week Daniel and Igor took the time to discuss the whitepaper, and in the process agreed to allocate time to put other plans into motion, and they will continue on completing the draft of the safex whitepaper this week.

A reminder we will keep this list posted to each development update until it’s live :slight_smile:
