Hey, guys. Welcome to the weekly update. This week, I've mainly been, concentrating on
the hard fork. As I said before, this is version 6.0. So, if you are still running and
having any coins on the legacy chain, please make sure to move your coins.

Once the 6.0 wallet is released, you will know that you have a specific time to do it
by. And then after that time, that's gonna be basically the end of legacy transactions as we
know it. So this will be a block version nine activation and transaction version four. So I've
disabled some opcodes, like the op ledger time stamp, op ledger supply, and the
conditional virtual machine. I've added some additional some security parameters.

We're also changing this staking rate to 5% for five years as it was voted prior. And then we
are minting about 15,300,000.0 coins based off of the difference in the Tridium chain and
the legacy chain. So just for a frame of reference, this is all on the same blockchain. The
legacy chain, was the blocks prior to the first Tridium block, but legacy transactions were still
supported after that date. And so the way it works is there's an interoperability that I
developed a protocol that allows legacy coins to transfer in and out of the trading
protocol.

But as we all know, UTXO has a lot of issues. I think it's about twenty, thirty percent of the
UTXO set on any other chain is unspendable. And there's no real way to prove that you own
any of those coins once you've lost that, key. So, you know, basically, what's been
happening, I just wanna explain the procedure, is legacy transactions will be disabled,
which means if you try to create a legacy transaction, it will be rejected by the network.
And if you try to send from a, a Tridium SIG chain to a legacy UTXO, that transaction will be
rejected as well.

So that's gonna essentially lock the total amount of coins that are on Tridium SIG chains into
the money supply. And, you know, since the first Tridium block, the mint has all been going
into the Tridium chain. And it looks like mostly everybody is on the Tridium chain. I saw one
last movement from an old, holder that was on legacy that moved all of their coins into
Tridium. But pretty much everything, it's it's there now.

So, basically, what's gonna happen is these transactions will be disabled, which means that
any coins that were still on legacy are going to be unspendable. Now they're all pretty
much unspendable right now as far as the legacy coins that, you know, about 15,300,000.0
is essentially how many coins have been lost, how many private keys got lost. So we're not
actually going in and accessing any of those coins because that would be a violation of
the protocol. What we're developing is a difference in the money supply. So currently, the
money supply is about 79,000,000, and there's about 63,000,000 on the Tridium chain.

So there's gonna be a special transaction on the hard fork, the very first version nine hard
fork block that's going to mint essentially this fifth point 15,300,000.0 based on the allocations
that we have decided as a community. It's looking right now about 6,000,000 will be going
to pay back pay for some developers, paying back some loans and also exchange listing
fees. And then about 10,000,000 is going to be staying and sitting there to be reserved for
satellite funding once we get to, you know, given price points. We wanna do a Nexus One
satellite at some point, maybe 50¢, and we're gonna be developing a a series of price
points to determine how many new satellites that we're gonna be deploying. I mean, if we
built some of the satellites ourselves, we could do it for 20 or $30,000, it looks like, plus launch
costs.

So I just wanted to clarify that that's that's essentially how it's gonna be working. There's
gonna be a new transaction that's going to mint that amount from the coin supply. The
money supply at a certain at that first block will be reduced by the total amount of Tridium
coins or the total amount of legacy coins difference, and then that mint will then mint that
certain amount that will essentially be the difference between Tritium and legacy coins. So
it'll be new coins. It's not trying to access anyone's account.

The chain is pure. There's nothing like that in the chain. I just wanted to be really clear that
that's how it works. So I have pretty much everything just about in testing right now. I have
the all of the opcodes disabled.

I have some difficulty adjustments done. I have the aggregation of some of the tau sig
chains. That's another big one. I also have some of the chain state parameters set up now. I
have some indexing updates done on it.

So it's pretty much ready to go next week. I'm going to be testing and getting it ready for
release. And then most likely, we'll do more of a public testing bed because I'm going to be
gone the week from the fifteenth to the twenty second in London for, the ARC conference.
It's an invite only, kind of counter WEF conference. So it's, the Alliance for Responsible
Citizenship.

Jordan Peterson started it. So I got invited. I'm on the short list, so I'm gonna be there making
contact with a lot of the people. There's a lot of big players there. Anybody that wants to
do your own research, you can search ARC Conference twenty twenty five, and you'll see
some of the speakers.

And as I said, it's an invite only conference, so I'm going to be attending. And there's a lot of
other things in the pipeline from that. So, ideally, I'm going to be getting this update out. I
wanna have it activate after I have, returned. So the activation time will sometime be in
late February.

I would give as a conservative estimate. Most likely, the wallet will be tested and released
by by the time that I leave, and then then we'll have an activation be, you know, probably
it could be as early as the twenty third, '20 fourth of February, but it could be as late as the
February 28. But pretty much consider by the February, all this is going to be sorted and
settled. So like I said, that's all just about done. Xeggex, from what I understand, they have
the situation under control.

It looks like their CEO was hacked. I don't think there was any breach of coins. I don't think
there was any loss as far as I'm aware. We've been in communication with them. It seems
like they're just going through standard protocol to lock everything down and make sure
that there is no issues at hand.

So, hopefully, Xeggex will be getting back online in a reasonable time. We've already fixed
the issues on our side. I've redone the entire indexing system, and it's running smoothly. So it's
pretty much balls in their court. Once they decide to open back up, hopefully, they will
enable deposits and withdrawals at that point in time.

And as I said, we're working on additional exchange listings. There's a market maker that
we're working with, and there's also some open offers that we have on some tier one
exchanges. We're looking at getting ourselves distributed to more exchanges. That'll be very
important for us in the coming months and years. So as we saw, the Xeggex hack, the fear
of that caused a lot of discontent in the community, and we need to not be completely
reliant on single exchanges.

So we are working on getting ourselves distributed. And that's what's really nice about this
new coin mint is that it essentially gives us a lot of these new opportunities. This was voted by
the community. As I said, all of the prior coins on UTXO are unspendable. So they're
essentially already burnt.

They're inaccessible. Somebody the people that had them cannot access those coins
anymore. A lot of them might be old community members from seven years ago as far as
we're aware, that are just inaccessible coins at this point. So like I said, the way it's gonna
happen is legacy transactions are gonna be completely shut off, which means once that
activation happens, there's not gonna be the possibility for you to transact legacy
transactions anymore. And that difference in coins will be minted.

If we did it the other way where we just said, okay. Leave it burned, then we would be
reducing the money supply by 15,300,000. And it wouldn't really change our economics in
any way, shape, or form. It would just change the psychological value of it. So as a
community, it was, I think, 78 to 80% voting in favor of it.

It was fairly unanimous that we should save these any award chest to help pay back
developers and funding and everything. Because if people weren't aware, Kendall and
Crystal and myself have been working virtually for free, since about mid twenty twenty two.
I've been paid maybe a thousand dollars a month, $1,500 a month, and Kendall and Chris
are the same, even less than that. So this is gonna be helping give us, you know, some coins
to pay us back for work that we've done and also a lot of the the money that I donated to,
get Tridium over the line in 2019 and exchange listings and bounty programs and then a
long term war chest to allow us to deploy satellites or potentially hire more funding and
developers. That's one reason why we have a very small developer pool right now is the
funding has not been able to produce enough to support even us three developers.

So hiring more developers is not necessarily in the question currently. But as we get on better
exchanges and price goes up and we have a little bit more of a buffer, I should say, where
there's more coins available, to you know, depending on the price point, it's not entirely
reliant on our income, then we'll be able to make those adjustments and, you know, hire
new help. So I, I'm looking forward to that. I have a few candidates in mind that I would like
to work with, people that I've worked with before, very, very good developers, but good
developers are expensive. And, if anybody wants to look at the going market rate, what
we're doing too is totally new architecture, never been done before, so it's not somebody
you can necessarily just pick off out of college.

I've hired people out of college, and they deer in the headlights. So, anyhow, that's what's
going on currently with Nexus. Next week, ideally, I would like to see most of the testing
done, hard fork ready to go, print and wrap. And if I can get to while we're testing, I'd
ideally like to get the mobile one out more. The Android Play Store, we're dealing with
company verification right now and a bunch of other, you know, potential drawbacks in
that.

So we're working on getting that deployed as quickly quickly as possible. And, so those are
the things to be looking forward to. We'll most likely be getting the wallet, mobile wallet
released after this hard fork since it will be a consensus upgrade. And then I'm going to be
diving into some of the new features, as I was stating earlier, such as the Ledger level virtual
machine where you can program access control patterns and all of that good stuff. So I
guess I will talk to you guys next week.

Thanks for being patient. Updates are a little bit late in the night sometimes, but I've been
keeping up with it. So, everybody, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I will talk to
you again next week.
