Recently we have upgraded our sharing window and user panel with the latest UX/UI design, we keep testing and improving our application to ensure it is running at peak performance. Here are some development tasks we have completed:

1) Fixed a XSS bug in project editor. Thanks to our bounty hunter NG, he discovered a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) bug in project editor that could let hackers execute malicious scripts in our application. Our Tech team review and fixed it immediately and reward him with S tokens for reporting this bug.

Thanks to this bounty hunter, our Tech team performed numerous deep scans of our application. We have found another critical bug and we fixed it.

2) Added a feedback program for users.
We created a feedback program for users, and they are now able to send us their suggestions, feedback about our application through the Feedback form. The feedback program is created also for a continuous bounty program that we will tell you in a separate news soon.

3) Added and refined the help section for webmasters. We added and refined the help section for webmasters, especially for those who are new to our system. We added instructions for different button installation methods, project settings and project statistical reports.

There were some small design improvements we made, for example, refined the help cards presentation, fixed the mobile navigation and user guide animation, improved the notification design in mobile version.

5) Created transaction records for users. We have created transaction records to show the commission for withdrawal and the use of alternative tokens, users will be able to see the details for all transactions in the new interface.

6) Set up token info from CMC. We made a script to get the token logo, description and website link from CoinMarketCap and display them next to the token name.

7) Fixed an error about updating data from CMC.

Dear Our Beloved Community! 

Sharpay.io is proud to introduce you our latest stylish upgraded sharing window and user panel designed with the 2019' UI / UX trends. 

UI and UX are always changing, we keep improving our sharing window and Sharpay system to give you the best user experience. We worked for months and months, kept testing and trying, finally we chose the best framework.

Our latest sharing window and user panel are upgraded with the 2019' UI / UX trends, and we made lots of big impressive changes on how users share with our Sharpay share buttons and how users manage their accounts easily.

We not only optimize and maximize your user experience, but also let you decide how you want to share! We would like to tell you some key upgrades in our sharing window and user panel. 

🔸 1) Additional modal design sharing window. Webmasters are able to choose to display the sharing window in modal effect in the button customization settings. A modal window is a javascript effect that displays on top of the current page. The main benefit of modal windows is that they avoid window pop-ups and additional page reloads. Seamless sharing in modal window brings all users perfect sharing experience!

🔸 2) Eye-catching interactive sharing animation and design. Every time you click on share, you will see an interactive animation modal window fade in and then slide down all the sharing choices for you. The top part of the modal window gives you a short description of the current page you are visiting, and you can see our Sharpay icon flipping with the token reward rolling under it. The S token reward is displayed in USD, and is synced with CoinMarketCap, that means you can always get the real time price calculated by CoinMarketCap. Now you are able to see what token rewards and how much you are going to get from sharing and from each visit!

We also added different toggle and hover effects. When you toggle different sharing options, they will show and hide with animation. When you hover over the text, it will be highlighted in our Sharpay orange color. The section body will be zoomed in when you hover over it, and zoomed out when you leave it.

Besides, we use the same animation and interface for our app.sharpay.io. We selected the best font and colors to use in our design. You may also see your token balance at the top is rolling with animation, the drop down menu is clean and clear. The overall interactive animation and the design are smart and attractive, which gives you a refreshing user interface!

🔸 3) Boundless sharing options. In the old sharing system, you could not choose what sharing methods you wanted and it was always decided by the websites. Before, we separated "Simple sharing" and "Multisharing". They were independent and connected to different social networks, and only the webmasters could decide how users share their website content.

In our new sharing window, we put all sharing methods together, and you are not restricted by the types of share buttons website installed. You are able to choose "Direct sharing with rewards", "Multisharing with rewards" or just copy the referral link for sharing with rewards. This gives you the freedom to share in your own way, and an opportunity to share website content to all your connected social networks!

🔸 4) User friendly and attractive user panel. The user panel has upgraded with new UI / UX design. The menu is on your left hand side, you can toggle and manage different sections. The homepage displays your account summary and bounty tasks. Everything has redesigned with distinctive colors and appearance. You can see that the information is displayed in details.

🔸 5) Neat smart card presentation. We dropped the old information framework and used smart card presentation especially for the bounty tasks and website projects. The smart card design gives you all clear information and action buttons. You can manage your website projects easily and tidily. Our system will also regularly display notifications, tips and new features for users in smart card format in user homepage and webmaster area.
 
🔸 6) Interactive and clear user guide. We have added user guides in different pages to explain different features and give instructions to users. You can find the "User Guide" button at the top of some pages like user dashboard and wallet. When you click on the "User Guide", it will pop up an interactive modal window to explain different features and sections.

We translated our system into 4 languages: English, Chinese, Korean and Russian. Unfortunately, the Korean translation is not good enough, because we do not have a good Korean translator. If you speak excellent Korean and English and you are willing to help us improve the Korean translation, please contact us and we will reward you with a large amount of S tokens for Korean translation as a bounty.

Try our new sharing interface and tell us what you think. We will keep improving our user sharing experience. If you discover any errors, bugs, broken links, buttons, etc., please inform us (https://t.me/sharpay_admin), we will pay for the most serious bugs under our bug bounty programme.

Hello Everyone!

Today, we would like to talk about how to make your Sharpay account more secure. The best way to secure your accounts is two-factor authentication (2FA). It is an important security tool in keeping accounts safer than simply using a password.

2FA adds a second step to logging into your Sharpay account, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to break in. Install Google Authenticator app on your smartphone and follow the below simple steps to set up 2FA:

1) Log into your Sharpay account.
2) In the top bar menu, go to “Account Security”.
3) Click and activate “Two-factor authentication check”, and you will see a QR code and a key.
4) Use your Google Authenticator application (GA) to scan and configure the QR code. You may manually add the key to your GA.
5) Type a recovery code word.
6) Enter a one-time password generated from GA to confirm your setting.

❗️ Remember the code word! It can recover your account, if you lose access to your 2FA devices, and are unable to get the 2FA password.

If you have any problems enabling 2FA, please do not hesitate to contact our admin (https://t.me/sharpay_admin).

Dear Sharpay Members!
 
Sharpay development update: added user’s completed tasks to Admin panel, a new function to send notification messages to individual users, improved account merging function, fixed audience settings error, etc.

Development requires continuous testing and improving. We have been developing Sharpay project for more years, added a lot of new functions and features. During the long development path, we keep reviewing and improving our system. There are some errors we fixed and improvements we made lately:

1) Added user’s completed tasks to Admin panel. We added the user’s completed tasks to our Admin panel, so we can easily check what bounty tasks the user has completed and speed up the checking when there are unpredictable errors.
 
2) Added function to send notification messages to individual users. Before adding this function, we used to contact and inform users by emails for different issues. Now, our Admins are able to send notification messages to individual users or to all users within the system, users can check the messages when they log into their Sharpay accounts.

3) Improved account merging function. We have mentioned about the issue regarding account merging function and bounty tasks before, we reviewed the merging function and changed the merging condition. After the improvement, the merging function will only consider active accounts and it will not transfer any disabled account balance when merging.
 
4) Fixed audience settings error. When a webmaster delegated project edit right to a user, the delegated user could not edit the audience settings and the system would show an error. We reviewed the audience setting page and fixed the code associated with the audience editing rights.
 
5) Fixed the email sending bug. There was a problem when sending emails via Amazon Simple Email Service. The problem would increase the connection timeout and pause before the second attempt to send an email to a user. We found the bug which caused the problem and fixed it.
 
We are speeding up our new interface development and very soon we will release it. The new interface has followed the 2019’ UI / UX trend as we have mentioned before. The user panel has improved a lot and it is very user-friendly and stylish. Also, the new sharing window has completely changed and integrated with different new features. We are sure that it will bring our users the best sharing experience. Stay tuned!
 
We welcome all new suggestions, if you have any ideas, feel free to contact us (https://t.me/sharpay_admin).

Dear Sharpay Members!

Recently, we have added a new feature to reward users for completing bounty tasks within the system (filling out a profile, connecting social network accounts, and others). We understood that the new way of earning token bonuses can be used for cheating. Therefore, we have updated an algorithm for calculating bonuses for user tasks in our activity monitoring system.

More than a month after the release of bounty tasks, everything was fine and worked as it should. But on July 1, the monitoring system sent a notification that one of the users received bonuses more than the limit. We raised the system logs for this user and began to analyze them. The analysis helped us restore all user actions and find out how he could get an additional bonus.

We would like to clarify the technical feature that is embedded in the system. Users are able to create accounts in Sharpay using social networks. For example, a user can create a Sharpay account via Facebook using his laptop, and also create another account via Telegram using smartphone. Thus, the same user will have two different accounts. His will have two different token balances, and this is a very inconvenient for him to manage two different accounts.

To solve this situation in Sharpay there is a system of merging accounts. When linking a social network profile to a Sharpay account, it checks for the presence of this profile in other accounts. And if it finds an intersection, it merges them into one common account, where all social user accounts and total balance will be combined together. The algorithm for merging accounts turned out to be problematic for the bounty tasks.

Let us return to the user who found this loophole in our system.

He created a main account using email and password login. Then, he created a second account using a social network and completed several bounty tasks for earning tokens. After that, he logged into his main account and linked the same social network profile that he used for the second account. Our system detected it and merged both accounts and balances together. The second account which completed the social network task was deleted because of the merging. He removed social network bindings from his main account. As a result, he was able to complete the task again by registering a new account via social networks and earn 370 S tokens more before we could stop him. In this bug, he could keep creating accounts using social networks, merging them together and disconnecting the social networks in the main account to loop the bounty task.

At the moment, we have made changes to the algorithm for merging accounts and the bonus for completing tasks is rewarded once. If the task was performed in both accounts, then during the transfer the bonus received in the second account will be subtracted from the transferred balance.

We strive to improve our system and pay great attention to security issues and protection against abuse. We are grateful to this user for his inquisitive mind and time spent. We not only did not reset tokens “illegally” earned by him, but also in appreciation of his effort, we accrued to him an additional 1000 S tokens as a bug bounty reward.

We would like to ask all who are interested to help us in finding bugs and vulnerabilities in Sharpay. Any feedback helps us to become better and more convenient.

Dear Sharpay Community!

Sharpay development update: fixed VK registration error, refined sharing bonus calculation, improve FB page binding, fixed token bonus resolving bug, added transaction filter for bounty tasks, etc.

During the long continuous development of our Sharpay project, we keep adding new features on it. Also, we keep reviewing our Sharpay buttons and fixing bugs to give our button users the best product. Here are some improvements we made: 
 
1) Fixed VK registration error. Recently, we found an error regarding VK account registration. Null value would insert into username in the database and get rejected by the system. We found the code caused the error and fixed it.
 
2) Refined sharing bonus calculation. We have refined the sharing bonus calculation. In this refinement, we fixed the maximum daily bonus, ignored the zero bonuses in the calculation, added bonus decline reason and improved the calculation logging.

3) Improved FB page binding. We improved the FB page binding for users. If the user has only one FB page, but not multiple FB pages, when he binds his FB page to his Sharpay account, the system will automatically connect it after authorization.
 
4) Fixed token bonus resolving bug. In our admin token moderation section, if the frozen tokens were released without changing the user status first, the tokens would be declined by our system. We found the bug in our code and fixed it.
 
5) Added transaction filter for bounty tasks in admin panel. In our system admin panel, we have added the filter for bounty task bonus transactions. Our admins are able to check the bounty task transactions for all users and make statistics accordingly.

6) Fixed encoding problem for Medium news. We recently found an encoding problem regarding displaying Medium news on our official website. The problem was caused by the special characters. We fixed it by changing the encoding.

7) Reviewed codebase audit results. As we have mentioned before that we conducted an audit for our Sharpay product code and refactoring planning. We reviewed the audit results and we will soon complete the codebase audit report. The audit report will be announced in a big article.

Dear Sharpay Supporters!
 
Sharpay development update: standardized table names in our database, field names in all tables, replaced all empty and 0 values with null values for refactoring purposes, updated Linkedin API and fixed a sharing bug, etc.
 
Recently, we are working on our new 2019’ UI / UX upgrade, but we will not stop improving our Sharpay share buttons. We would like to tell you some of our completed tasks: 
 
1) Standardized table names in our database. First, we reviewed all the SQL command and the table names in our database. Then, we corrected and fixed all the table names. Since we have written a lot of codes during the development, we fixed more than 1,600 commands and codes.
 
2) Standardized field names in all tables. When we standardized the table names in our database, we also found and standardized all field names in all tables. For example, for all fields that contain “users”, “user” is shortened and standardized to “u”.
 
3) Replaced all empty and 0 values with null values in our database. First, we made a small script to check and find all the columns which contained empty or 0 values. We found that at least 10 different tables (e.g. user account table, social media log table, sit conversion table) needed to be fixed. We checked and replaced all the empty and 0 values with null values for refactoring purposes.

4) Updated Linkedin API and fixed a sharing bug. Recently, Linkedin has updated their API and users were not able to share news via Linkedin. The new version of the API is significantly different from the old one, we had to study, rework and re-debug. We updated the Linkedin API to v2 version and fixed the sharing bug.

5) Adjusted the number of bonuses accrued upon sharing on social networks. We found a sharing bonus bug that occurred when sharing did not go through to the social networks. The bonus calculation did not reduce the sharing bonus even for failed sharing actions. We have added the bonus recalculation before generating the bonus transactions.

6) Corrected the project deletion error. If a website project has conversion events created, but the project is not active, there will be an error when the webmaster tries to delete the project. We fixed this error by removing the site related records for the project deletion.
 
7) Checked the output status of pending tokens. We found that some users had problems with their pending conversion bonuses, the pending conversion bonuses did not get approved after 24 hour. We fixed the user’s wallet for showing declined conversion bonuses.

Dear Community!

As we have announced it before, we analysed all popular world messengers about the possibility of developing and adding our Sharpay sharing buttons to groups, chats and channels. Today, we would like to share with you our detailed analysis.

For each social network, this can be done only through the development of the bot, we studied their API and user cases.

1) Telegram. First of all, we analyzed Telegram, one of the most popular, fast-growing and promising instant messengers from a position of loyalty to cryptocurrencies. We studied their API and user cases for bots. A channel can have an unlimited number of subscribers. The bot can generate a unique link for each post, and let users to read, leave comments and share it. Result: possible, already developed, waiting for our release.

2) WeChat. We studied the API of WeChat and the capabilities of adding Sharpay share buttons bot to groups. WeChat allows users to create a group chat with up to 500 members. WeChat API does not have any direct support on adding Sharpay share buttons. However, WeChat shut down a 3rd party blockchain app in 2018, technically it is possible for us to develop our Sharpay sharing bot, but it will be impossible for implementation. Result: impossible to use, refuse to develop (as of June 2019).

3) KakaoTalk. We looked at the structure of KakaoTalk API. We studied this in the context of sharing and adding Sharpay share buttons. We found out some limitations of KakaoTalk. A public group chat can support up to 1500 users and a user can only create 10 public group chats. Only personal chats can use chat bots, and chat bots cannot be added to public group chats. Because of that we cannot apply the same Telegram scheme that we are developing to KakaoTalk. Thus, it does not allow us to develop a user-friendly sharing bot for KakaoTalk. Result: impossible to develop (as of June 2019).

4) VK Messenger. For VK Messenger, we found out that bots can be added to personal chats, communities or group chats. One group chat can have a maximum of 500 users. Chat bots support share buttons, but users can only use them at the chat menu level, no share buttons can be added to the messages shared in a group. Also, all posts shared in a group are limited to its group users, all chats are private within a group. Those restrictions do not allow us to make a full-featured bot for VK Messenger. Result: impossible to develop (as of June 2019).

5) Facebook Messenger. Chat bots only work in communicating with personal chats, and they cannot be added to group chats. One group chat can have a maximum of 250 users. A bot can send messages only via chat extensions, but the messages cannot add share buttons. There are no direct links for the posts shared in a group chat, therefore, users cannot comment or react to a post like Telegram. Also, the posts shared in a group chat are for its group users, it limits the ability to share posts to other users outside the group. Because of that, we cannot develop a good bot for Facebook Messenger. Result: impossible to develop (as of June 2019).

6) WhatsApp. Chat bot feature is only available to WhatsApp business accounts. A WhatsApp group chat can have a maximum number of 256 users. The chat bot can communicate with users in private messages and group chats. However, it is not possible to add our Sharpay share buttons to the messages. Result: impossible to develop (as of June 2019).

7) Viber. In Viber, there are two types of groups (public account and community) and the maximum number of participants of a group is 250. We can add a sharing bot to a public account, but public account is not for everyone. Since 2017, only large companies and popular personalities can open a public account. Everyone can open a community account, but bots cannot be added to a community as a member. Because not everyone can create a public account and community cannot add bot, we do not see any benefits to develop a sharing bot. Result: possible, but not relevant, refuse to develop (as of June 2019).

Summary: as of June 2019, only Telegram meets our development criteria for our sharing bot. Only for Telegram we can make a full-featured sharing bot with a user-friendly interface. We have already developed our Sharpay Telegram share bot, stay tuned and wait for the release!

Hello Everyone!
 
Sharpay development update: added user information in the project edit history, verification for redirection URLs, a check for connecting social network, a custom error to the user for handling FB page binding problem, cleaned inactive social networking bindings for preventing sharing error, etc.
 
We always focus on our project and keep improving our share buttons in order to give every user the best sharing experience. We announce development news to our community every week and here are some of the finished tasks:

1) Added user information in the project edit history. We added more information in the project edit history. Webmasters can view the editor’s IP address, country and browser information every time the editor makes changes in the project. They can get the edit log in “History” tab in the “Manage project” section. The editor log is next to the username.
 
2) Added verification for redirection of URLs. For the “back” parameter, we added URLs verification. It will check all URLs being redirected against allowed domains for various authorization schemes, for example, oauth, plugins, etc.
 
3) Added a check for connecting social network. We added a check to prevent connecting social networks multiple times to cheat and get social network task bonus. The bonus for connecting each social network can be obtained only once.
 
4) Added a custom error to user for handling FB page binding problem. When a user connects his Sharpay account to a Facebook page that had already connected, our system would ignore it and throw an exception. We have added a custom error for this problem.
 
5) Cleaned inactive social network bindings for preventing sharing error. We found some users had an active social network binding but it contained an empty value in the database. Because of that, the sharing did not work for him for that social network. In order to prevent this problem, we decided to delete and clean all old inactive social network bindings.
 
6) Added bounty task conversion metrics in Admin panel. For understanding what bounty tasks users completed the most, we added bounty task conversion metrics in our Admin panel. It can also tell us what bounty tasks we should add based on user activity.
 
7) Moved JavaScript code associated with init/hit to a separate module. We took out the duplicated code and moved init/hit to utils.js module for better performance.
 
8 ) Optimized the database resources. We modified the storage scheme for archiving log to optimize the database resources used.

9) Analyzed the APIs of all popular messengers. In order to understand the possibility of developing and adding our Sharpay sharing buttons to groups, chats and channels, we studied all popular messengers including KakaoTalk, WeChat, Viber, FB Messenger, VK Messenger, Whatsapp and Telegram. We will soon tell you in detail about our analysis and the possibility of such development.

10) Audit the entire Sharpay product code and refactoring planning. Over months and years of development of our product, its code has grown very large in size. We approached the need to do a large code audit in order to plan refactoring. We conducted such an audit and planned constant refactoring, we have already begun some tasks. The result of the audit will be published in a big article.

11) New 2019’ UI and UX upgrade. In parallel with all development, we continue to work on the new 2019’ UI / UX and soon we will upgrade our Sharpay user interface. Stay tuned!
