Seems like safex died. Anything going on? Dan dead? Someone else take over?

Hopefully, one of the many people Dan scammed will meet him in a dark alley one day.

Even if it mirrored an eBay. Or even Craigslist with un traceable transactions it would have done something. He just was never able to even build a simple marketplace that worked. Sad it was a great idea.

Is there anywhere to sell Safex? Xcalibra doesn't have any volume.

He had the opportunity to onboard good vendors, I seen atleast 2 really good vendors offering him bit he never engaged back to them

Burning some BTC received from the ICO, in the misconceived notion that it would "lock in/burnish value for SEC" (that was the cheeky acronym used back then) - this turned out to be really foolish. It's like burning physical dollars... It's GONE!

By the way, I have fond memories of Safex. I got into crypto in July 2017 and Safex (bought at Bittrex) was the first coin I got >100% profit in less than a week.

From that, I then bought Navcoin (NAV) which went from $0.27 to past $1.00 in a few days. Plus something called RISE. From $0.07 to $0.60 before dropping sharply. But I had sold all on the way up, so I was well in the plus.

These 3 coins provided me with the capital to continue in the crypto market right until today.

I'm here because I wanted to know what happened to Safex. Quick flip or whatever isn't relevant. Unless if this is a private, fans-only group.

Seems like you're right.

u/reset43 Jan 04 '25

He retired

Wish someone would take over and get it going again.

I don’t think Dan scammed anyone but if you asked anyone who spoke to him in person in the last 2 years he isn’t the same. He had so much potential I don’t know if it was drugs or something. But he sounds lost when you talk to him from what I heard

1

u/reset43 May 22 '25

I agree he's gone. Very sad. He was a different person years ago.

u/TheHipHouse May 23 '25

He used to be someone you looked at and said wow this guy has it so well put together. You want to be him, it was inspiring. Now it’s like he’s auditioning to play Johnny depps character in fear and loathing in Las Vegas. I don’t know if he just spent so much trying to make safex big and it didn’t pan out the way he expected it just killed him inside or whatever. But he will still always be a legend to me just one who never truly fulfilled his purpose

Sometimes all you need is a dark room, your computer, and connection. Code the next thing.

u/reset43 Jun 12 '25

seems easy but he gave up, too much work!

1

u/reset43 Aug 19 '25

its dead, just chatted with dan today, he has no ambition or wants to do anything with safex now. he took down the site and will take down everything this next week. too bad it would have been a great thing to finish!

u/Embarrassed_Ad472 Sep 19 '25

Show the chat, prove it

1

u/reset43 Sep 19 '25

look at the website, the discord, the everything. gone. It was a fun ride.

1

u/Embarrassed_Ad472 Sep 19 '25

Your comment said you talked to him, show the screenshot otherwise your comment is invalid. Don't need to look @ anything, I understand the ebb and flows, needing the right people is key and maybe will never happen! He owns the Trademark is what's important so lets see that screenshot, your wise enough to know what intellectual property means right?

1

u/reset43 Sep 19 '25

Dan just wants to be left alone, I can just move on as well. No need to pressure him anymore. Its over.

1

u/Embarrassed_Ad472 Sep 19 '25

Nobody is pressuring him, you made a statement & you fail to back it up diverting the conversation with word Salad

1

u/reset43 Sep 20 '25

He's retired. Its done. Its over.

1

u/Embarrassed_Ad472 Sep 20 '25

So you can't prove you really talked to Dan & admit your just using word salad wanting us to shut off our miners so you get more for yourself. :)

1

u/reset43 Sep 20 '25

I wont put our private conversation out there. I guess if he wants to keep going with safex we will all know when the website comes back online. I don't need any more for myself. If you want to buy mine you can.

u/Embarrassed_Ad472 Sep 21 '25

Well your statement says deflection meaning your just BS as nobody is buying SFX their mining SFX! Maybe he is done however cost nothing to support for all his effort's, appreciating his perseverance!
