A great amount of forking occurred last Saturday and many nodes are mining on their own forks. The update released yesterday resolved most forking issues. After switching and converging the forks, each account's balance and rewards will reflect the newest fork's confirmed ledger. If you are still stuck after the update, please reset your hubs.

As you may know, IDEX has recently limited the number of projects that U.S. IP addresses can access for trading. SS is not on that list of projects. SS is still accessible to those not utilizing a U.S. IP address when trading on their market.

Please feel free to request SS be added to the U.S. trade market through Idex support. Hopefully we can learn what is necessary to get us added to the U.S. market as well.

There was a hotfix pushed out to the online Sharder Hubs. If you are having trouble accessing the Hub through your web browser, add /login. Example: hubipaddress:7215/login

A hotfix was just pushed out and it should resolve an issue affecting hub login. Rest assured your hubs are still mining while you're unable to login, this only affected access to login screen. Your hubs should be automatically updated soon. Please do not pull your power and ethernet cable.

The answers to the questions from the community are now posted on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sharder_Official/comments/epg5j9/telegram_qa_iv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

To the Community,

We are aware of the recent issues with the network and hubs and we apologize to those affected. We're doing our best to bring the network and hubs back to normal. This will not affect your TSS profits, we'll calculate your average daily blocks mined and will compensate for the lost TSS within these few days accordingly. Please be patient for an update.

Most of you are worried over our answer regarding Sharder and SignEase. Let us reassure you that while Sharder and SignEase are separate entities, this will not negatively affect the future of Sharder. One of the main goals of SignEase is to provide utility for the SS token and that will not change. Consider the following scenario: An enterprise registers on SignEase as a new user and needs to purchase a plan to use the services. The enterprise sees that he has the option of paying with SS or fiat at the payment page. It's obvious what'll happen if the enterprise pays with SS but what if the enterprise chose to pay with fiat? A portion of the fiat will be converted to SS. So either way SS will still be utilized. SignEase will also be paying Sharder for using the network, so you can rest assured that the project is not being abandoned. Development with Sharder is still ongoing and a new roadmap will be announced in February. Please stay tuned for the announcement.

You'll also find the updated roadmap within the whitepaper.

If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding the transaction fee adjustments, please fill in the following form: https://forms.gle/shsjysmczfzP8thK6

Here’s another round of good news! Test phase 1 of the testnet has been completed. The network reset, the upgrade and testing of test phase 2 will be happening soon. The rewards and compensation for test phase 1 will also be distributed at a similar time. The locked-up SS for the TSS airdrops will also be returned at that time.

The whitepaper transaction fee table has been updated to reflect everyone’s opinions towards the previous table. The updated whitepaper has been uploaded to the Sharder website. We’ve read through your answers on the previous Google form but Ben noted that a degree of burning pool creation transactions is still necessary to prevent malicious transactions and transactions that are created on a whim. If you believe the updated values are still high, please let us know what you think is reasonable on this form: https://forms.gle/wNx9wZsGRWCVAtX68.
