I heard that hardfork for implementation of Supernode has been postponed til 3rd week of July. Is this official announcement?

hardfork might help changing the ability to deal with serious unexpected 51% Replay Attacks in the future.
It is really a good choice of ZenCash team to fight against greedy bad guys, who tend to find a way to exploit crypto networks.

Hardfork will occur 3th , possibly 4th week of July.

1) We will have big change to the consensus division of block rewards, new class of nodes will be introduced - Super nodes.

To get smooth start with supernodes - which will go live in q4 of this year, benefits for staking 500 zen necessary for a Super Node will star after the fork.

2)It's still not clear what direction we will take we are studying all possibilities.
Three solutions on the table currently are to :
   1. Require block hash pointers to n > 1 blocks whenever there are parallel blocks reported on the network.
   2. Introduce a penalty metric for delayed block reporting (with a complementary option to dynamically adjust difficulty
   based on the penalty metric),
   3. To use our node system as a sort of notarization service that effectively layers proof-of-stake on top of the current
   proof-of-work.

Thank you again for your detailed answer. I'm looking forward to hear good news on bi-weekly update this Wednesday.
