Liquid369 Proposal

This proposal is going to outline what has been done as an update to users and what will be continued in the next portions. It outlines some ideas for users and the responsibilities entailed overall.

Last Proposal Report

- Finalizing 5.6.0 to remain in good standing with Binance and then working with Business Development into getting onto exchanges in markets we are not in or were once closed off to.
5.6.0 was released, we are on 5.6.1 for some extra compatibility we found upon getting ready to launch. We are still on Binance and our relationship with them only grows stronger.
- Mempool updates from upstream for enhancing our services and better 'pending transaction' handling
These I did not get to with working on a few other things this is a task I plan to mainly focus on now
- Frontend work for RustyBlox, I have some basic designs and it will be done in Vue.js, hopefully planning to get some image work from our fantastic graphic designers we have on hand now.
Designers are busy but should have openings soon, I have some mock layouts and setups done, we have implemented some new API handling and upgrades in the meantime.
- Moving infra to a larger dedicated server, that will also host RustyBlox the new PIVX explorer, I am submitting a secondary proposal to pay for the server costs, I have done extensive research for making this as cheap as possible.
Server is much faster cutting the time required for testing new DB changes from all day to several hours if needing to rebuild entire DB.
- This proposal should get us to "MVP" status for RustyBlox with continuous updating moving forward to bring it to a more powerful frontend.
Backend is near "MVP" for its needs that I have found but we've come to find more needs as time goes on.

PIVX-SPMT is updated to its new version 0.7.0, which supports TorV3 and is now up to date with Python 3.10 instead of the old Python 3.7 to maintain the range of compatibility we need.
