Hi Guys, here is the latest Update:https://forum.safex.org/t/safex-dev-update-december-21-2020/7294
Mainnet Marketplace ReleaseBy now all relevant participants have been notified about the upcoming Hardfork 7 which activates the advanced transactions system that incorporates the Marketplace logic on the Safex Blockchain. This includes exchanges, mining pools, services providers, and the media.
Can expect exchanges to extend deposit/withdrawal duration while the hardfork takes its effect. In some cases deposits/withdrawals will remain closed entirely during this period.
This hardfork takes hold on Block number 605,700 and the blockchain is currently at block 604,387 at the time of the release of this update.
The mainnet binaries for Hardfork 7 are found here and since last week we have added to the available operating systems for running the marketplace mainnet binaries.
https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/7.0.0If you are running a full node or service with the safexd or safex-wallet-rpc or safex-wallet-cli please ensure you update immediately.
Please note you may need to import keys into a new wallet file to take hold of the new environment.
TWM Wallet | APIThe final design implementations are wrapping up to be released in time for the mainnet block crossing. The expected release and activation of the API is Thursday, as it will take some time to verify that all mainnet instances of the API are online and connecting properly. We will use Wednesday to confirm these elements.
Twitter SuspensionShould be good to note that the twitter.com/safex 26 account has returned and the foundation is mindful of the event.

THE BEST SAFEX UPDATE EVER:Successful Hardfork 7Last week on December 23rd, 2020 the Safex Blockchain crossed block number 605,700 and the marketplace application took hold as Hardfork 7 became the leading version across the network.
Due to our extensive preparations, this hardfork luckily crossed over smoothly more than we expected and imagined. All mining pools promptly upgraded, and many node operators have updated.
If you are tuning in just now, you can find the downloads for the Safex Blockchain Full Node and the CLI Wallet as well as the Wallet RPC the link below, for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux.
https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/7.0.0After nearly 14 months of development, and dozens of live testers together we launched this baby, and the first nearly 1000 accounts have been registered.
Here are the metrics for using Tokens on the Blockchain:https://forum.safex.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/38da98ec62845afcc84516f26bf86848b08c19f2.png25,000 SFT is the minimum to Stake
Staking will lock up SFT for minimum 8,000 Blocks (10 days)
Unstaking receives you any SFX generated from the marketplace activity in 1000 Block Intervals
An account requires to stake 1,000 SFT and they will be locked for 22,000 Blocks (30 days)
The first sale took place by user: safexdallyshalla and it was purchased by Brian Dordevic in this historic and iconic transaction:
https://twitter.com/briandordevic/status/1341974478092320770?s=20Orbiter Wallet v2The Orbiter Wallet v2 continues to operate for sending and receiving coins; however, since it is built with the previous hardfork, it does not recognize the blocks after the hardfork 7 so it will show that it is still on block 605,700 (605,701 if starting count from 1 not 0)
We plan to release a simple send/receive wallet to replace this one; however, it continues to operate normally otherwise.
Keep in mind, that the loading.. text is where the price feed ought to be; however, the coingecko.com 1 price feed is temporarily lost at the moment.
TWM WalletWhat remains to release in the Epoch is the TWM Wallet. This comes with an accompanying API that loads the curated list of products, and also houses the server for being able to sending shipping information to registered merchants.
After the hardfork, the team took the time to enjoy Christmas activities, and the weekend to get rested for the upcoming release of the TWM Wallet.
This week we are in a sprint to set up the infrastructure and release the TWM Wallet.
Mining Pool ImprovementsIncluded in Hardfork 7 is an update to the miner block reward transaction. When fees are collected in the block reward it would cause some glitching that prevented the mining pools from easily sending transactions without performing a sweep_unmixable action, or forcing the payment from the pool to be done with a ring size of 1. With the improvement the fee reward is separated from the block reward so no longer will there be this potential lag or extra steps for the mining pool operators.
