Hello Sharpay Supporters!

Sharpay development update: corrected signup page redirection, added a list of authorized applications on user profile page, improved the security of comment section in the sharing window, improved sharing bonus checking, etc.

Today, we are going to tell you some of our finished development tasks. We increased the security of our Sharpay application, fixed some errors and added some verification functions.

1) Corrected signup page redirection after creating an account using a social network. We discovered that the URL parameters were ignored after creating an account using a social network via OAuth (for example, Cloudflare), the signup page would redirect users to the main page but not to the previous page. We corrected the redirection and users can continue on the previous page.

2) Added a list of authorized applications on user profile page. If users have connected and installed Sharpay’s Cloudflare app on their websites or other applications using OAuth 2.0 (an authorization framework), all the authorized apps will be listed on their “Account Security” page. They can manage and revoke the authorization for each application or all at once.

3) Added a check for links when posting comments in the sharing window. We added a check for the presence of links that are without specifying scheme (without http / https) in the comments. This additional link check increases the security of the sharing window.

4) Improved the sharing bonus checking. For checking users with frequent sharing bonuses, we improved the checking method. We replaced the constant indicator with the number of connected social networks of that user in the consideration. We will freeze their sharing bonus and check the quality of their social network accounts, and only unfreeze their sharing bonus after the user passes the checking.

5) Set up email confirmation for deleting active web projects. If webmasters want to delete their active web projects which already have sharing or conversion activities, our system will send them a confirmation email to approve or decline the deletion. It can avoid deleting active working projects accidentally.

6) Set up email address verification for account registration. All users will need to verify their email addresses after signing up with their email addresses. Our system will send a verification email for the account registration.

7) Improved the storage structure of configuration files. We improved the storage structure of the configuration files for the convenience of our developers.

Dear Community!

Sharpay development update: added history for recording project changes, enabled our admin to view all project access rights, fixed regional domain verification for adding website projects, changed the home page for account users, etc.

Continuous development is significant to every project. We believe that it is one of the elements of success. Recently, we have improved and added some new features for our users.
 
1) Added history for recording project changes. If webmasters or their co-administers have made changes in their website projects, all the actions and changes will be recorded and displayed in the “History”. They can view the log for each project in “Webmaster Area”. The event log is very useful and important for them, they can track all the edits in the projects and recover changes if they want.
 
2) Enabled admin to view all project access rights. In order to monitor unknown errors in granting project management rights and accessing projects, we have created a list of granted projects in our system admin panel. This enable us to detect and fix the unknown project management errors quickly and easily.
 
3) Fixed regional domain verification for adding website projects. We discovered and fixed an error when adding regional domains. Regional domain names are in regional languages, so when users enter regional domain names, they will be converted into Punycode (a way to represent International Domain Names). We added Punycode method in our domain name verification, users are now able to add different regional domains to their website projects.
 
4) Changed the home page for account users. We changed the home page for Sharpay account users. After users log in their account on app.sharpay.io, they will see a new statistical chart showing their earned tokens with a detailed summary. Users are now able to see the summary of their earned tokens from sharing, conversions, and total number of tokens for deposit and withdrawal. For new account users, instead of showing users an empty chart with no values, it will give users instructions on how to install and use our Sharpay buttons.
 
5) Added new tables in our database for merging accounts. We added new tables in merging account method to record all account changes. We record both primary user account ID and secondary user account ID in the new tables when merging.
 
6) Added email notifications to users for granted project management rights. When webmasters grant project management rights and access to other users, an email notification will be sent to that user upon successful authorization.
 
7) Corrected bonus message in sharing window. We corrected the bonus message in sharing window when users have no connected social networks.
 
8 ) Added report caching on home page for account users. In order to speed up the loading of summary chart on home page for account users, we added caching function. It gives users a smoother experience.

B) Floating. The Sharpay button will be automatically placed in a fixed position at the bottom on your websites. This is the default setting of a floating button, and of course, you may style your button by changing and adding different CSS values to fit your web design, for example, top, right, left, bottom, margin values.

We are one of those projects that communicate with their community as openly as possible, share their results, successes, plans and do not hide mistakes and negative results. Better, we ourselves will tell you firsthand how we are doing, so that there is no silence or conjectures, or even worse, you will listen to all sorts of haters. Therefore, we want to share with you some observations about the blockchain market in general and our results for the past period, in particular. Honesty is the best policy.

According to the results of the 4th quarter of 2018 and the 1st quarter of 2019, we can state that on the world market the breakthrough in popularization of cryptocurrency and blockchain projects has not yet begun. But it’s good that over the past 2 months it has become clear that the market has finally felt the bottom. And our S token groped the bottom too. The stagnation of the market for Sharpay means disrupting the plan for installing buttons on sites and lack of profit. Partly, we are also to blame for this, because (maybe, like you) we were very encouraged by the growth of the market a year ago and did not take care of our development plan in the most negative scenario. Therefore, for example, our tokens buyback program for Token Sale’s participants is not yet active and is postponed for an indefinite period (we will announce the launch of this program upon receiving the first profit).

In Asia, there is such a proverb “The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on”. That is why we never listen to haters. They do not understand that the ETH we raised in Token Sale depreciated along with the market 10–15 times. Yes, we never exchanged ETH to USD and didn’t cash out. Yes, we are blockchain and crypto evangelists. Yes, our real fund after spending on expensive Token Sale promotion, financing the team work, as well as the depreciation of the cryptocurrency market now is very very modest in size. At the same time, in one and a half years of Sharpay development since the start of financing the project from Token Sale’s fund, we managed not to waste all resources and are ready to develop our Sharpay product further and steadily.

Over the past year, the collapse of the market, the main thing for us was to keep our team and develop the product every day. Haters do not understand this, but do you? They do not understand that good projects do not artificially raise their token prices with the help of “market making” technology, moreover, in a falling market this is the Sisyphean task (those who did this and temporarily raised the price burned all resources and fell even lower after). Haters do not understand that the best exchanges, like Binance (on which we will be listed someday), do not charge for listing, but look only at the quality of the working product and the real daily work of the team. Haters do not understand this, but they constantly demand it, demand it and demand it. That is why we do not listen to haters. And we advise you not to.

We didn’t attract investment in Token Sale! It was written in all of our documents and White Paper. All S tokens sales were never an investment, but were the purchase of high-risk utility tokens of a high-tech project. We have no investors! But we have token holders. And we really appreciate your support and trust.

Yes, after Token Sale, our token fell. But, we repeat, the whole market fell! ETH fell 10–15 times a year and our S token also fell exactly 10–15 times. How could our S token grow if the market fell on it with a capitalization of tens of billions of USD? Do you understand the difference in capitalization? Even if we had burned all our fund to support the price of our token, this would be enough for us to do that for just 1 day only. For what??? Therefore, with horror on our faces, we were only silent observers of the falls of Olympus and prayed that the bottom would not be at zero. As a result, the S token has fallen in price in direct proportion to the fall in the market. This is a good signal of the expectations and faith of most of our token holders in our project.

Now the S token is traded on 3 exchanges: IDEX, SIMEX and OEX. Haters shout that they are exchanges with free listing. Nothing like this! Only listing on IDEX did not require any costs from us except the time for a joint audit of the closed GitHub code of our project with IDEX’s CEO. And for example, listing on OEX costed us about 12 BTC (at the rate) at the time of payment. By the way, the other day there was a unpleasant incident, when OEX mistakenly delisted our token. In reality, the CEO of OEX was changed, and the new management began to clean up the exchange. We contacted the new head of OEX, demonstrated our stability in development and the real work of our team, and after that, OEX immediately restored our token in the listing. In fact, it was a test of which projects are live and which are not. Yes, we are alive.

Here are what we are planning to do to increase the price of the S token.

1) Stably develop our product. We do it.
2) Introduce new features that will make our product more popular and increase the number of installations of our buttons on websites.
3) Launch large partnership programs with very well-known blockchain projects (and their tokens) and cool sites (from the regular market). While this is very difficult to do, as the market is depressed, but we are working to overcome resistance.

For example, we want to announce the readiness of a very important feature. Soon we will launch the opportunity for sites to reward for sharing not only S tokens, but also ETH and any other tokens! It is very cool. This feature has already been developed (like many other features), but we want to release it after a general UI / UX upgrade of our system.

As we have said many times, our S token is not for fast exchange speculation and not for quick profit. But after months or maybe years of your waiting (as is the case with BTC), we believe that you will get a good profit from owning S tokens. Now, using our fighting team spirit, we are doing everything we can to do this. Believe in us, wait and while the market is at the bottom, increase your S packs.

Dear Sharpay Community!

Sharpay share buttons with blockchain rewards are reinventing the existing share buttons with distinctive development features. They are the future of effective social media marketing. 

Recently we got words of support and some interesting questions from Bimmerhead, a Legendary member on BitcoinTalk. His questions were about how our Sharpay buttons work in sharing, as the answers are related to our future development, we would like to share them with you.

🔸 Does Sharpay have a way of measuring how valuable a particular share is? For example, if I share to 50,000 followers on Twitter, do I receive more tokens than someone who shares to 10 followers? Do I receive more tokens if more people click on the link I shared?

First of all — yes, if visitors click on your shared links (shared using Sharpay buttons), you will get a token reward for each organic visit. This feature is a working basic option for our system.

Moreover, we are developing social power and targeting features. Our plan is to be able to calculate the social power of individual user based on their number of followers from different social media, and targeting bonus based on their demographic data, such as age group, interests, region.

The social power bonus is very simple. The more the followers/friends you have, the higher the bonus you will get. However, it is like stamina, the social power bonus will be decreased for each share and users will need to wait to restore it.

The targeting bonus aims to match users (target audience) with websites. Users can complete their profile (at their will, not compulsory) and they will be automatically included in the targeting bonus scheme. They will be able to get extra bonuses for sharing if they are in websites’ target groups.

For full questions and our answers, please visit our official BitcoinTalk topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50161486

If you have any questions regarding our development or you have some ideas to share with us, please do not hesitate to contact us (https://t.me/sharpay_admin).

We always answer all questions. We are open to all communications.

Dear Sharpay Supporters!

Sharpay development update: added project management delegation function, domain name masking when shorten website links, conversion events to website statistical reports, notification messages for conversions only rewards, and fixed account recovery and password resetting messages.

Today we are going to share you some of our completed development tasks, and those tasks are mainly for webmasters. With the new functions, webmasters can monitor and manage their website projects easily with other delegated users.  

Let’s see what they are:

1) Added project management delegation function. Webmasters are now able to delegate project management rights to other Sharpay users to manage and monitor their website projects. To do that, the person who wants to receive project management rights from a webmaster must also have an account on Sharpay (app.sharpay.io). Here are the steps to delegate project management rights by a webmaster:

a) go to the “Webmaster Area”;
b) click “Access” button in the website project;
c) click “Provide access”;
d) enter the email address of a Sharpay user account that you want to delegate rights to;
e) choose the power of the rights, “Allow full access”, “Allow project editing” or “Allow access to reports”;
f) click “Save” to finish.

You can change the project management rights of a delegated person anytime you want by switching on/off the toggle buttons. You can also delete a person that you no longer want him to access and manage your website projects.  

With this update, webmasters can share their project management rights to their co-administrators. Webmasters can assign different tasks to their co-administrators, marketing team can understand and analyze user behavior with the access right to website statistical reports, and developers can handle and manage the technical side of things with the right to project editing. This can increase their productivity.

2) Added domain name masking function when shorten website links. Some websites might be blocked by social networks by misunderstanding, false reports or updated community rules, so users would not be able to share those website on their social networks. We added the domain name masking function when webmasters choose to shorten their website links. Webmasters can go to their website project, choose “Shorten links via” in the “Advanced” tab to shorten and mask their website using different operators, for example, Bitly, Sharpay.

3) Added conversion events to website statistical reports. Before, there were only two types of rewards, “Sharing” and “Conversions” shown in website statistical reports, we separated and added “Events” into the calculation. The “Events” is the conversion events (https://app.sharpay.io/index/events) we recently added. After this update, webmasters are able to understand and control the rewards, especially monitor the “Events” rewards.

4) Added notification messages for conversions only rewards. For websites that choose to reward users conversions only, users will get no token rewards on sharing. We added notification messages for users in sharing window, users now can check what types of rewards they will get. The reward type messages are placed next to the share action button, and also in the result window after sharing. Users will now understand clearly what types of rewards they will get.

5) Fixed account recovery and password resetting messages. We have fixed the account recovery and password resetting messages. The account recovery and password reset pages will display users successful email submission/change of password messages after executing.

Dear Community!

Sharpay development update: set up confirmation method for conversion events, added create new project function to Sharpay plugin on Cloudflare, expanded logging when resending system emails, increased project deletion form’s security, etc.

We keep developing our Sharpay buttons in order to improve our system and your sharing experience. Here are some development tasks we have completed recently:

1) Set up confirmation method for conversion events. We considered Google Analytics Measurement Protocol as an example, and set up confirmation method for conversion events. When webmasters set up a conversion event, check and enable “Requires confirmation”, the conversion event will be confirmed on our server side. Our server will verify the conversion events and reward users conversion bonuses accordingly. A successful and valid conversion event flow is as follows:

A. A user shares website content on his social networks using Sharpay buttons.
B. A visitor clicks on the link shared by that user.
C. The visitor executes a conversion event (creating an order for example), and it will send us a request to verify.
D. When the event is made and confirmed by the website (the order is made and paid), it will send us a confirmation request. 
E. We will reward a conversion bonus to that user, if the event done by the visitor is verified.

For the conversion events and settings, you may read here: https://app.sharpay.io/index/events

2) Added create new project function to Sharpay plugin on Cloudflare. Before this update, webmasters needed to go app.sharpay.io to add their websites in order to use and link the Sharpay plugin on Cloudflare. Now webmasters are able to add different website projects to their Cloudflare Sharpay plugin without leaving Cloudflare, and select which project to link and run the Sharpay buttons.

3) Expanded logging when resending emails. We pulled the email sending error messages from the mail function and added some details in the logs in order to understand clearly the resending email reasons and errors. We also added email hashing function.

4) Increased the project deletion form’s security. We added a security code in the project deletion form to protect against cross site request forgery, and increased the form’s security.

5) Checked Mailru token update method. We checked the Mailru authorization token update method in the login script for Mailru. The script is responsible for checking login token validity, and we also improved the code for better performance.

6) Improved backend system tasks. We improved the performance of some backend system tasks.

And soon we will make an official release of our new site, in accordance with the 2019’ UI / UX trends.

Dear Sharpay Members!

Sharpay development update: improved Simple Queue Service for handing different system tasks, and added sending email function, added email addresses from different social networks for system optimization, Reddit posting restriction, improved webmaster report data obtained from Google Analytics, etc.

Every week, we announce our development news to our community. We believe improving user experience by our sustained development attracts not only new button users, but also more new websites to install our Sharpay buttons.

We have completed some tasks for our back-end, for example:

1) Improved Simple Queue Service for handling different system tasks. Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables our system to handle different tasks. Before we used SQS only to manage our sharing tasks, but we have decided to use it to handle more different tasks for our future development. So, we had to improve our script for SQS and make it compatible in handling different function calls.
 
2) Implemented Simple Queue Service for sending emails. After we have improved our SQS script for handling different tasks, we added sending email function. We removed the old mailResend function and added SendMailTask in SQS script for handling system email queuing and sending.

3) Added email addresses from different social networks for system optimization. We have improved the social network login script, and it will get and save user’s email address from different social networks. One user account may have multiple linked social networks, and by saving and detecting their email addresses, we can avoid creating duplicate user accounts by linking them together and optimize user social network table and system functions, for example, mailing and login.

4) Added comment length restriction for sharing posts to Reddit. When users share posts to Reddit, the comment will be trimmed to 300 characters as restricted by Reddit. Before, if users shared posts to different social media including Reddit, and the comment length was longer than 300 characters, it would show a posting error.

5) Fixed getting traffic statistics from Google Analytics. We fixed the data reporting from Google Analytics, and now the webmaster report will display all views from users who clicked the website links.

6) Added caching of data obtained from Google Analytics. We added caching of data obtained from Google Analytics, and now we can add new cashes quickly without affecting the whole system, and the webmaster report load time is reduced by one third.

7) Created separate CSS file for social network icons. We have made a separate a separate CSS file for social network icons with background colors, made a separate button formatting class (size, rounding, etc).
 
8 ) Checked plugin compatibility with WordPress 5.1. We have checked our Sharpay plugin version on WordPress. Our plugin version is compatible with the latest WordPress 5.1.

Sharpay buttons sharing experience is strongly related to our development and of course it allows us to define our user journeys. We continuously improve our Sharpay buttons and regularly write news about it.

Let us tell you some of our completed development tasks:

1) Fixed merging account crash. We discovered an incomprehensible error in the logs that occurred during merge of accounts, the system was trying to connect accounts with itself. After we have analysed the code, the error was caused by a rare login situation. If a user who has a login session in the system and attempts to log in again, it will have such error. For example, a user opens the login page in two browser tabs and successively tries to log in to both. We decided to redirect the user to the main page when he performs the second login attempt.

We found a good fixation option to fix the bug. We had to substantially dig up and clean up the code in the controller methods which are responsible for the interaction (login, creating of a binding, merge) through social networks. As a result, this module has decreased by about 10% of total lines. We also added a couple of super-classes for social network classes in order to avoid duplication of the added code, and mainly, as a basis for future refactoring.

2) Added Skype to direct sharing. We have added Skype to direct sharing and now users are able to share website content to Skype. So far, users are able to share more than 20 different social networks using direct sharing, including Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, Telegram, Whatsapp, VK, Kakao Talk etc.

3) Added SubReddit selection for binding Reddit account. When users bind their Reddit account to app.sharpay.io, they are able to choose their SubReddit to share posts to. For existing users that have already binded their Reddit accounts and would like to change their sharing on Reddit, they could unpair it and bind their Reddit account again.

4) Fixed WeChat sharing error. Before when users shared to WeChat, the QR code was not generated properly and it did not work, we therefore have fixed the sharing error.

5) Extended sharing alert message description. When users get no bonus from sharing, it will give users a clearer message that the user’s social capital is too low and he can only receive tokens for each organic visit to the link he shared on his social networks.

6) Improved site domain unregistered error message. If the website was not registered in the domain list, users would not be able to share it to their social networks, and the system would throw a fatal error message. We took out the fatal error message, improved the error message UI and added the site domain unregistered error message. It is clearer for both users and webmasters.

7) Added a date filter in report. We have improved the UI and added a date filter button in the project’s report in Webmaster Area.

8 ) Improved direct sharing UX. If users want to share website content using direct share buttons to social networking applications (Viber, Facebook Messenger) that he has not installed, it will show users instructions to such application download pages.

Dear Friends!
 
Sharpay development update: added Facebook Messenger to direct sharing, strengthened comment section’s validation in sharing window, improved share bonus calculation, fixed network region table, fixed floating widget display bug and etc.

We have been intensively developing our new features and improving our Sharpay share buttons. We have finished a lot of tasks, such as:

1) Added Facebook Messenger to direct sharing. Users are now able to share website content to Facebook Messenger. Sharing on Facebook Messenger is working on both desktop and mobile (iOS and Android) apps. The Facebook Messenger API works differently in desktop and mobile devices, so we need to work separately for that.

We need to detect user’s device first and then call different APIs accordingly. We expanded the networks table in our database, added different call function for the API and changed the redirection links.

Currently, it is available only on direct sharing, but once the API supports also our multisharing function, we will definitely develop and add it to our multisharing buttons.

2) Strengthened comment section’s validation in sharing window. In the comment section of sharing window, we improved the comment validation and security. When we were working on the validation, we also found out that if user wanted to share content with comment on LINE or Reddit, the comment could not be empty. We needed to consider different situation and sharing limitation on different social networks, and added different validation rules accordingly.

We have added length and content validation in the comment section in both front end and back end sides of our application. Now, users cannot write any URLs in the comment section, also in certain social networks, the users cannot share website content without leaving any comments. Otherwise, an error message will display to remind user.

3) Improved share bonus calculation. Every time users share website content on their social networks, our system will check and calculate the share bonus to prevent cheating on sharing. We have improved the script by taking out the “hour counter” component and adding the user’s active multishare list checking.

4) Fixed network region table. When we were working on the Facebook Messenger sharing function, we found that the network region table in our database had several errors and omissions. We therefore wrote a script to fix it.

5) Fixed floating widget display bug. When the mouse move around the floating widget, it did not display the background specified in the SVG image before. We have fixed the bug and updated the background colour. Now, the floating widget is working normally.
 
6) Fixed notification email for merging account. We found out that when we merged two identical accounts, the system would send notification email per account. We have therefore fixed it and now our system will check the duplicate email addresses and send only one notification email per email.
 
7) Fixed the sharing counter error caused by the change of encoding. We have corrected the error in the operation of the sharing counter due to the change of encoding.
 
8 ) Enabled user’s notification language. We added language option in the notification script. If user choose his language option, all notification messages will change in his language automatically.

We will continuously announce our development news to our social networks! If you have any problems using our Sharpay buttons, please do not hesitate to contact our admin(https://t.me/sharpay_admin).

Dear Sharpay Community Members!

We have made an important strategic decision to focus on developing our sharing with blockchain rewards feature only. Now, this is our main feature.

Our Sharpay buttons have 2 main features: multisharing and sharing with blockchain rewards, and we have always promoted them together before. Each of them is unique in itself.

When we started developing our multisharing button, we aimed to connect all top social networks around the world, so everyone can share website content to their favourite social networks in one click (multisharing feature). However, some of the largest world social networks and messengers, such as WeChat and Kakao never give anyone the opportunity to use their social networks for multisharing. We did countless requests, but they were ineffectual. That is because of their company policies. As WeChat and Kakao are the largest social networks in Asia, multisharing has never been full-fledged without them.

Not so long ago, Facebook also restricted the rights of developers. This is due to last year's Facebook database leak scandal, for which Mark Zuckerberg was justified in the US Congress. The restriction applies to all applications. Because of that, now our users cannot use the multisharing feature for sharing news to Facebook unfortunately.

As Facebook is the largest social network, we believe that this restriction is very essential for us. This finally clarified the situation, now it became clear that our first feature — multisharing in one click — without Facebook can no longer be equivalent to our second main feature — sharing with blockchain rewards. That is why we now decided to focus on the development and promotion of the Sharpay sharing with blockchain rewards feature as our only one major and unique feature.

However, it does not mean that we will give up and stop development or supporting our multishare feature! We only shift our development priority. Now multisharing on some large social networks is not possible yet, but periodically we will send them requests on using their API with advanced features. As soon as they approve our requests, we will definitely release it!

Now about the main thing.

Our sharing with blockchain rewards feature is automatic, unique and has no analogues. The use of this feature cannot be technically limited, therefore now we are not dependent on the policies of any social networks. And we have an international PCT patent priority on 152 countries for this (by the way, we will soon tell you in detail what it means).

Currently in accordance with our strategic vision, we are developing a new sharing window. As soon as the user decides to share interesting content from any site using our Sharpay share buttons, he will see a new sharing window with more technological features. The new sharing window will provide users all these three different methods for choosing:

- direct sharing with rewards
- multisharing with rewards
- referral link for sharing with rewards.

As the connected social networks in direct sharing and multisharing are different, all social networks in both sharing methods are different too. Unlike the old sharing window of which websites can only install one sharing option, either multisharing or direct sharing buttons, the new Sharpay sharing window will give users freedom and autonomous to choose different sharing methods.

We believe that with the usual clear-to-everyone sharing with unique features and focusing on sharing with rewards, Sharpay will succeed. Especially considering the fact that now you can do sharing with rewards on Facebook, WeChat, Kakao and all main social networks! It is very cool!

Now we are finishing work on updating our UI / UX and will soon make the official release of our new sharing window, user accounts, and also update our site, in accordance with the 2019’ UI / UX trends.

Thank you for your faith and support! Are you ready for "to the moon" with Sharpay?

Dear Sharpay Community Members!

Sharpay development update: Created a script to merge accounts with the same email & social networks, fixed database social network bindings, improved Telegram account binding, speeded up sharing window, added tools for system admin and improved alert UI.

Despite spending most of the time working on one of the main feature that we are going to release, we improved our Sharpay buttons and added some tools. Here are some of the development tasks we have done:

1) Created a script for merging accounts with the same email & social networks. We found that some users owned multiple accounts with the same social networks or emails that they accidentally created during registration using social networks. It was inconvenient and impossible to manage accounts for users. In order to detect and control duplicated accounts, we created a script for our system admin to automatically or manually merge accounts. This could also check each user account and accessibility and manage user accounts (to merge or duplicate account if necessary).

During this task, we discovered 59 inaccessible accounts that had neither password & email logins nor social network account bindings. These empty user accounts have been deleted by our system. There were 60 duplicated accounts, and our system have merged them accordingly. We have also sent emails to all the merged account users and notified them about the account changes.
 
With this new script and improvement, our system admin can check and monitor user accounts more easily and efficiently. It will also automatically send email notifications to users for any account changes.

2) Fixed database social network bindings. If the social network user is going to link to his Sharpay account has already used by another user, it will not work and will show user an error message. It can prevent user from creating multiple accounts using the same social networks.

We spent quite a lot of time to fix this social network bindings and it took us more time than what we expected. It was because we needed to test all 15 different social networks, and for each one we tested and corrected errors. Also, for linking social networks, it is tightly integrated with third-party authentication services that work only with our app.sharpay.io domain.
 
3) Created merging account tool for system admin. We created a tool for our system admin to detect and merge accounts with identical social network bindings. Before we needed to manual check and merge identical accounts which took us a lot of time.
 
4) Improved Telegram account binding. We improved the user identity field in our database and made sure it would be filled with a unique identifier when creating the Telegram account binding.
 
5) Speeded up the loading of the sharing window. We made asynchronous pull-up of metadata from the site to the sharing window in order to speed up the loading and improve performance.
 
6) Created passage mark for KYC in admin system. Now our admin will show a passage mark of KYC for those users who have passed the KYC for withdrawing their tokens bought in Token Sale.
 
7) Added a close button to alert messages. We have improved the UI with Bootstrap, users are now able to dismiss the alert messages manually by themselves.

Time is ticking and we are getting ready for the next new upgrade. Stay with us and wait for our news!
