I just know that you spread fud to get some more cheap coins

Feel free to point out any verifiable fud. Upon verifying it is fud based on the information you provide, I’ll be happy to remove any fud comments.  

It seems like FortKnox is butt hurt and because he cannot debunk me he attack me saying i am a scammer, have a drug problem and that Joey's wife is ugly.

Take it easy Joey, as i said, everything will get better, just ask for some medical help.

Lol, i think you are very sensitive. But its ok, everything will get better, just say no to drugs.

Hey Joey I think you are just pissed off bcos Oli got an eye for your missus  

I really feel bad for how Joey has been treated, first a porn video of he and his wife shared on SAFEX discord and he was publicly humiliated for it, then he and his family was harassed, pictures of his wife with a dick photoshoped near his mouth was shared on social media and all this for speaking about Daniel Dabek lies and scams,
but Joey has big balls, bigger than FortKnox, Joey is not the first and will not be the last, SAFEX has a documented history of harassing, doxxing, intimidating, blackmailing anyone who confront Daniel Dabek for his scams, like the time Daniel Dabek intimidate, doxx and blackmail @jonywalker42 https://archive.is/fs2Lc for comments like this one https://archive.is/8T77R

Seems like Richard Bate @SafexNews is back again and Joey Crypto served him via Twitter with a Cease and Desist letter
https://archive.is/DEw9b
Richard Bate @SafexNews is telling Joey Crypto @SafexPlatinum

You are running an account claiming to be me

This is getting more confusing everyday,

Last time i heard about Richard Bate was last year when he said he was leaving SAFEX because health problems, but was probably a lie because he was later found to be working with other SAFEX members that also mysteriously disappeared like Stephen Kines
https://d3ainvestments.com/meet-the-partners/

I think the real story of what happened to Richard Bate is that he helped Daniel Dabek with the lying and the scam, but he left because Daniel was out of control and Richard didn't want any involvement with his criminal activity, then he joined Stephen Kines and the others. I remember Richard Bate talking about his mental health condition, the medication he was taking, his snake pet he feed with live animals, his daily job selling wheelchair to handicap and wife Rosalinda that cheated on him.

I think Richard Bate is back because Daniel Dabek ask him to help him doing a rebranding of the Safex Foundation company, there are rumors that SAFEX will rebrand to TWM The World Marketplace, but it should be The Worst Marketplace.

joey had a porn video???

Yes, Joey had a porn video, Joey made a video complaining how the scammer Daniel Dabek allowed the video to distribute freely in the SAFEX discord. Commodus made also a video pretending to have sex with a mannequin with the name of Cynthia, he also made another video drinking his own pee in front of a picture of Daniel Dabek, but i think Commodus is ok because he is mentally disabled because of the hiccuping he suffer for three years.

nobody cares what you say

[safexscam]

nobody cares what you say

Are you sure nobody cares?
Because Joey cares, he is going to sue Daniel Dabek - Safex.
This is what Joey said yesterday

Im perusing legal action against the drug market assoc with the dascoin scammer known as Safex Dan dabek their software and Serbian firm is illegal in every sense according to us laws. I'm going to bring about a civil action against dabek for trademark infringement if ignored

https://twitter.com/OfficialSAFeth/status/1341383976292741122


And, don't you think that SAFEX investors have the right to know what is happening with their investment, even if that investment is a scam, and they are holding to it, waiting for the price to go up to sell?

Why the scammer Daniel Dabek, CEO of Balkaneum and founder of Xcalibra never inform investors of his company in his weekly updates that Richard Bate left to go work with Xcalibra CEO Stephen Kines and Xcalibra Director Chris Hurd in D3A Investments?
https://d3ainvestments.com/meet-the-partners/

D3A Investments do a bit of everything, Investment, Sales & Marketing, Product Development, Upscaling & Manufacturing. But anything about Blockchain or Cryptocurrencies, so why is SAFEX associated with them? what is this new scam about?
The people associated with this scam are:
Stephen Kines
Simon Hudd
Chris Hurd
Jan Signell
Scott Greenlay
Richard Shearer
Richard Bate
Philip Rambech
Peter Jhaveri
Benoit Charlebois
Mark Taylor-Weir
Danil Kerimi



Is the worst marketplace live?
How many billions being traded?

Hi Guys, here is the latest Update:https://forum.safex.org/t/safex-dev-update-december-21-2020/7294

Mainnet Marketplace Release
By now all relevant participants have been notified about the upcoming Hardfork 7 which activates the advanced transactions system that incorporates the Marketplace logic on the Safex Blockchain. This includes exchanges, mining pools, services providers, and the media.

Can expect exchanges to extend deposit/withdrawal duration while the hardfork takes its effect. In some cases deposits/withdrawals will remain closed entirely during this period.

This hardfork takes hold on Block number 605,700 and the blockchain is currently at block 604,387 at the time of the release of this update.

The mainnet binaries for Hardfork 7 are found here and since last week we have added to the available operating systems for running the marketplace mainnet binaries.

https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/7.0.0

If you are running a full node or service with the safexd or safex-wallet-rpc or safex-wallet-cli please ensure you update immediately.

Please note you may need to import keys into a new wallet file to take hold of the new environment.

TWM Wallet | API
The final design implementations are wrapping up to be released in time for the mainnet block crossing. The expected release and activation of the API is Thursday, as it will take some time to verify that all mainnet instances of the API are online and connecting properly. We will use Wednesday to confirm these elements.

Twitter Suspension
Should be good to note that the twitter.com/safex 26 account has returned and the foundation is mindful of the event.

BW.com 11 SFT listing and trading
During last week BW.com 11 took initiative and listed Safex Token for trading on their exchange.

THE BEST SAFEX UPDATE EVER:

Successful Hardfork 7
Last week on December 23rd, 2020 the Safex Blockchain crossed block number 605,700 and the marketplace application took hold as Hardfork 7 became the leading version across the network.
Due to our extensive preparations, this hardfork luckily crossed over smoothly more than we expected and imagined. All mining pools promptly upgraded, and many node operators have updated.
If you are tuning in just now, you can find the downloads for the Safex Blockchain Full Node and the CLI Wallet as well as the Wallet RPC the link below, for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux.

https://github.com/safex/safexcore/releases/tag/7.0.0

After nearly 14 months of development, and dozens of live testers together we launched this baby, and the first nearly 1000 accounts have been registered.

Here are the metrics for using Tokens on the Blockchain:
https://forum.safex.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/38da98ec62845afcc84516f26bf86848b08c19f2.png
25,000 SFT is the minimum to Stake
Staking will lock up SFT for minimum 8,000 Blocks (10 days)
Unstaking receives you any SFX generated from the marketplace activity in 1000 Block Intervals
An account requires to stake 1,000 SFT and they will be locked for 22,000 Blocks (30 days)

The first sale took place by user: safexdallyshalla and it was purchased by Brian Dordevic in this historic and iconic transaction:

https://twitter.com/briandordevic/status/1341974478092320770?s=20

Orbiter Wallet v2
The Orbiter Wallet v2 continues to operate for sending and receiving coins; however, since it is built with the previous hardfork, it does not recognize the blocks after the hardfork 7 so it will show that it is still on block 605,700 (605,701 if starting count from 1 not 0)
We plan to release a simple send/receive wallet to replace this one; however, it continues to operate normally otherwise.

Keep in mind, that the loading.. text is where the price feed ought to be; however, the coingecko.com 1 price feed is temporarily lost at the moment.

TWM Wallet
What remains to release in the Epoch is the TWM Wallet. This comes with an accompanying API that loads the curated list of products, and also houses the server for being able to sending shipping information to registered merchants.

After the hardfork, the team took the time to enjoy Christmas activities, and the weekend to get rested for the upcoming release of the TWM Wallet.
This week we are in a sprint to set up the infrastructure and release the TWM Wallet.

Mining Pool Improvements
Included in Hardfork 7 is an update to the miner block reward transaction. When fees are collected in the block reward it would cause some glitching that prevented the mining pools from easily sending transactions without performing a sweep_unmixable action, or forcing the payment from the pool to be done with a ring size of 1. With the improvement the fee reward is separated from the block reward so no longer will there be this potential lag or extra steps for the mining pool operators.

Twitter Situation
We’re dealing with the circumstances on twitter, in the meantime you can follow twitter.com/dallyshalla 20

JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE

TWM Wallet Update
During last week amid holiday celebrations, the team move forward merging the front end development and the backend development of the TWM Wallet into its final position. The goal was to get everything geared up on staging last week to release today. While the merger went smoothly, several minor bugs did crop up which we’ve managed to sort and get the Staging up today.

So, we will take a round confirming in the wild the API which is now deployed at http://stageapi.theworldmarketplace.com/ and a build is circulating among our testing group community to give the wallet a final test before a deploy to mainnet.

The good news is the coding part is completed, we are making a final pass at testing with a small first group, and the good news is that the wallet will be released for mainnet usage shortly there after.

Safexcore
December 23rd, 2020 the Safex Blockchain crossed block number 605,700 and the marketplace application took hold as Hardfork 7 became the leading version across the network.**

The scammer Marija Blesic is doing it again, after the failed Marketplace launch last week she is lying again deceiving investors.

As soon as the wallet is confirmed, we will move to publish for download.

Why the scammer Emilia Wojciechowicz & Daniel Dabek lied & deceive SAFEX investors again? https://archive.is/H7yw0

Was the marketplace launched in 2020? Where it is? & why nobody has seen the Marketplace?
Where & why they are hiding it?
https://archive.is/trMym

Daniel Dabek has proven he is a liar & not a man of his word & those who "support him & support his scam SAFEX knows it", supporters being paid by to scam, an example of this is Oliver S aka Cryptooli.
Daniel Dabek has been lying without shame for the past two weeks, some of the biggest lies are this:
1 Launch of the Marketplace.
https://archive.is/Qu279

2 Bittrex delisted SAFEX because a privacy coin & not a security
https://archive.is/3lB7b

but in 2017 he wrote this regarding Bittrex delisting & SAFEX not being a security
https://archive.is/OKlXt

3 SAFEX not ICO:
https://archive.is/ECCXY

But at the Dascoin conference, Daniel Dabek said SAFEX was an ICO & paid Dividends what is the definition of SECURITY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E45T03nu608
4 SAFEX in a press release announced that was listed on other scam exchanges Digifinex, Bitrue & P2PB2B
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/safex-launches-decentralized-e-commerce-151500370.html

But SAFEX is not listed on any of those scam exchanges, i write the exchanges why but still no answer
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5088392.msg56006693#msg56006693

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5097591.msg56006643#msg56006643
5 SAFEX price manipulation
The scam exchange BW.com in complicity with the scammer Daniel Dabek has been involved in criminal market manipulation by artificially increasing the price and volume and disable deposit and withdrawals

Twitter Situation
We’re dealing with the circumstances on twitter, in the meantime you can follow twitter.com/dallyshalla 20
for real time updates from Daniel.

NoNoNO Marija Blesic, stop promoting scammers here, go away with your Onecoin friend far away, maybe Bulgaria will be a good destination to start a new MLM company.
The twitter account of the scammer Daniel Dabek @dallyshalla is suspended.
https://archive.is/EgtCA


Where is Daniel Dabek?
After he shut down slack, closed Discord and banned investors who asked about their investment, deleted posts and banned members of his closed forum, Reddit and Facebook, & now that all his Twitter account got suspended this is the only place open and not moderated where he can come and give explanations to investors about his scam.
Are you coming back xorlogic? or you will keep sending Marija here to deal with your shit?

TWM Wallet
Last week we began testing in the wild the TWM Wallet and the API with a small group of testers. These tests proved that our messaging component and the API are functioning and they are more than neat; However, Liam and I decided to continue to iron out code to make the application more accommodating so that we can release with a single version that can handle more activity than last week’s version.

The initial version of the API enabled a buyer to send their shipping, or NFT information and the seller would receive that. This week we are wrapping up direct end to end encrypted communication via the wallet. Over the weekend we sorted through rendering the messages that appear in a seller’s “inbox” more elegantly.

Additionally, I improved the way that the wallet handles synchronization with the blockchain and saving to the wallet file, so that it can sync balances without crashing. In addition to fixing the logout feature, also now it is possible to logout without crashing the wallet.

With the Orthodox Christmas passing last Thursday, we are having Igor return from holidays after a job well done releasing the marketplace to the blockchain as we will have his attention to do an additional sweep over some specific features in the wallet <-> blockchain bridge.

At this point these are homey touches to provide a more complete experience so as to not have need to redeploy the wallet again nearby in the future. So we are taking the time to add these elements upon what we already have ahead of this release.

We appreciate your patience with this, we are so eager to get it out to all of you, this is the culmination of an epic journey, and we are glad to be able to share it soon.

Sincerely,
The Safex Development Community

Hi Marija Blesic, you here again loyal to the scam you promote and with help of your friend from Onecoin bring us another scam update from Daniel Dabek.

TWM Wallet
Last week we began testing in the wild the TWM Wallet and the API with a small group of testers. These tests proved that our messaging component and the API are functioning and they are more than neat; However, Liam and I

Another bs update, more lying from Daniel Dabek.
Where is the Marketplace?

Where is the 2b annual volume?

Marija Blesic, are the rumors true that Daniel Dabek is hiding in the USA close to his lawyer Paul Stephen Dalton in Virginia because authorities are looking for him? and that's the reason he has no travel anymore to Serbia? i remember he used to travel a lot, he liked to travel by car from Belgrade to Vienna, he used to fly from Belgrade to Zurich and visited the USA a few times per year,
he cannot lie to us and say he don't travel because covid, because now days anyone can travel after doing the covid test and third world countries like Serbia have low standard so is easy to get in.
Does Daniel Dabek has fear of going trough airport security? he maybe thinking he will be caught just like his best friend John Mcafee.
Dumbek is dumb, who in his sane mind will create an illegal marketplace, "unstoppable" like Dabek says, no censorship and get away with that.
Is just time before the criminal Daniel Dabek get caught, he and Safex have been reported to the SEC, FBI, DEA, Interpol, etc, etc, etc.

Please go away, and stop harassing people who are trying to get things done.
You should be ashamed, and it is a crime to do what you are doing.

Daniel Dabek, you are creating a darkweb marketplace, a place where criminals like you will sell anything illegal without any restriction or censorship.
You are the criminal, and you will be caught.

I see the style we have here, so I want to contribute as well   

Best Shopify Alternative in 2021


An alternative to Shopify is something you should consider in 2021.

Shopify is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms which allows you to sell products both online with your website or in-person with Shopify POS. Being so popular that it is, there is no doubt that Shopify offers many beneficial features to online shop owners and businesses. However, there are still a few disadvantages that often cause headaches to both users and store owners alike. This is why we will explore both the positive and negative sides of Shopify as well as suggest what we consider the best Shopify alternative in 2021.
Shopify pros

Detailed admin - There is a full range of reports and features in the backend of your store which you can use to get a better understanding of how your store is performing. You can view the number of orders, find your best performing product pages, or watch a real-time view of your website visitors to see what stage of the funnel they are in.
    Free features - When you are building a new website, a free theme is loaded onto your store that you can customize to suit your brand. You can choose from many free fonts, change the color scheme, add photos and take advantage of various Shopify tools to further customize your website.
    It is on a cloud network - Servers have the tendency to crash at bad times - especially on big events such as Black Friday - making you miss out on much revenue during downtime. By having your website on a cloud network, the odds of it being down are minimized so that you can run your business carefree.
    Lots of apps - Shopify  also offers a ton of apps, both free and paid. From countdown timers to image background removers, there is an app for almost anything you could like to implement.

Shopify cons

    A learning curve - Figuring out how to use Shopify and build a store that generates profit can take months. You may also find it hard to figure out where every section of your store is located in the admin.
    Not the most inventory-friendly solution - You may find yourself dedicating an additional portion of your monthly budget for an app handling purchase orders.
    It can slow down your website - Even though Shopify offers a ton of tools, you need to be mindful of each tool you add and look to use only those that are necessary so you don’t ruin the user experience. Adding more tools can significantly increase your loading times and make your visitors impatient.
    Adding new products can be time-consuming since all categories need to be built manually.
    Price changes can also be time-consuming since you can only make changes by product.
    Difficult to design pages - Shopify does offer an easy to use homepage editor. However, you can only use it to design your first homepage. For all your other pages you need to have a lot of experience with HTML or CSS. Otherwise, customizing your website can prove to be very difficult.
    Its customer service often lacks detailed issue solving
    Not friendly for shipping

The best Shopify alternative in 2021

Safex is an open-source, blockchain-based and privacy-focused decentralized eCommerce platform that helps both buyers and sellers, and is our choice for the best Shopify alternative in 2021. It utilizes contemporary blockchain technology for eCommerce, so that you can do your online shopping with cryptocurrency. Safex has carved out a niche for its services by providing anyone in the eCommerce ecosystem privacy that no centralized online shopping platform can provide.

As a crypto commerce marketplace, it provides new alternatives to the centralized digital marketplace sector that has been dominated by large corporations like Amazon or Alibaba. In addition to having questionable data gathering practices, some of these major corporations create higher prices for both consumers and sellers and also directly compete with sellers on their platform.

Safex’ forward-looking collective understood the potential of blockchain, cryptocurrencies and eCommerce very early. The Safex blockchain was developed alongside its proof-of-work currency Safex Cash (SFX). With its low entry barrier, it allows even small businesses to enter the digital age where consumers can privately shop at a lower price while sellers reach their maximum profit margin through low fees and fair prices.
A competitive marketplace

We have already talked about how the current eCommerce marketplace is dominated by large websites. These websites often charge between 15% and 20% fee per product for sellers. For sellers to make a profit, they are forced to pass these costs onto the consumers. Another downside is that payouts could span from days to weeks.

Safex’ business model is different. It creates a user-oriented experience that maximizes a seller’s profits by taking only an extremely competitive 5% fee and charging just $0.01 for a product listing. For example, instead of earning $80 on a $100 product, with Safex, you can earn up to $95 as a vendor. An additional $15 on every product can mean a lot to small businesses.

Since there is absolutely no waiting time or downtime between the moment customers make a purchase and money being transferred to the vendor's account, marketers are able to quickly obtain revenue and refill their inventory and keep up with demands as they operate on maximum capacity.
Privacy is important

Today’s online practices are such that corporations intrusively collect users’ data valuing it more than the actual customers. With Safex your rights are respected as none of your personal information is being collected or recorded.

With the marketplace being decentralized, all that consumers have to do is provide their shipping address to the seller after making a purchase, which gives control back to the users. Consumers also may choose whether or not they want their name to be shown to other people. Personal information is inaccessible to any party including the project developers and contributors.
Help to get on board

The official Safex forum is the first place where new participants of the ecosystem - buyers and vendors - can reach out for help in case of any questions. Development updates are being provided regularly and discussion regarding various Safex related topics between the community members and the development team are taking place.  Also, articles published on the Safex blog include tutorials to access the marketplace among other covered topics as well.
The main advantages of the Safex platform

Safex allows eCommerce to grow in a manner that puts people first. Here is the summary of the greatest features of the platform:

    A dedicated team that puts privacy first
    Total privacy-based eCommerce for both buyers and sellers
    Instant cash flow from buyer to seller in cryptocurrency
    Encrypted messaging enabled between buyer and seller
    Purchase related data only shared between buyer and seller
    Small fees allow smaller stores and sellers to be competitive
    Redistribution of fees to the Safex ecosystem's participants

The gateway to crypto commerce

The cryptocurrencies in the Safex ecosystem -  ASIC resistant proof-of-work mineable Safex Cash (SFX) for buying goods and services on the marketplace and Safex Token (SFT) for participating in the revenue sharing - are currently available for purchase on the cryptocurrency exchange Xcalibra.

This exchange can be considered reliable having gained an accumulated amount of $5 million in funding and being in progress of obtaining an official license as a cryptocurrency exchange in Switzerland. Also, an integration of Simplex allows Xcalibra users to purchase BTC and ETH via a credit card or a debit card.

The best Shopify alternative in 2021
Safex is an open-source, blockchain-based and privacy-focused decentralized eCommerce platform that helps both buyers and sellers...

Please stop scamming, is a crime what are you doing, there is no SAFEX marketplace, why Daniel Dabek needs to continue with the lies, he clearly is not ashamed of what he is doing.
What Daniel Dabek can tell us about his pathetic attempt to claim back Joey's trademarked SAFEX name?
When he said many times that SAFEX is not a company and was developed by Stephen Kines company in Serbia Balkaneum?



Daniel Dumbek why are you hiding?
Where is Stephen Kines and why is not him the one claiming ownership of SAFEX?

Imagine a lawyer protecting an individual involved in the creation of a criminal and illegal marketplace, i bet Daniel Dabek did not tell the whole story to Joseph B. Evans from McDermott Will & Emery   https://www.mwe.com/people/evans-joseph-b/

You may already know that Shopify is the leading eCommerce platform in the world. This could be the right thing for you if you want to grow your business fast. Besides selling some products and offering your services, this platform allows you to present your company to the audience and maybe get some new business ideas. You can sell some physical products like t-shirts and jewelry or some digital products like ebooks and e-courses. The possibilities are limitless.

But here is why you may want to start thinking about Shopify alternatives. The thing is, you don’t own your website, and you don’t have full control over it, and there are no free plans. You might better like these top five Shopify alternatives:

1.Safex --> https://safex.org/

Safex is a famous marketplace based on blockchain eCommerce technology. This platform’s primary function is maximizing the retailer’s profits while keeping prices low enough to attract new traffic and satisfy customers. This is possible with the 5% fee, which is relatively low compared to other platforms with a 20% fee. Maybe the main reason why you should choose Safex is that your privacy is well protected.

2.BigCommerce

BigCommerce is one of the most well-known Shopify alternatives. It includes seven free themes and a great drag-and-drop editor. Also, it allows you to sell some digital and physical products with no transaction fees to worry about. You have an opportunity for multi-channel selling on Amazon, eBay, and Facebook, and you can choose between $29.95, $79.95, or $299.95 a month. The only difference is better product filtering and customer segmentation.

3.Magneto

Magneto is a free platform for a mid-size or large business, and it’s not that easy for beginners and those without some experience with code. If you want total control over your shop security, and if you are ready to set aside and invest some money, you are in the right place. It offers free themes, but if you are looking for something more, like premium ones, be ready to pay from $29 to $499 a year.

4.Wix

Like Shopify, Wix is one of the most popular website builders that can help you customize websites even for free. It is provided through a hosted service, so you don’t need to worry about security and back-end management. There are no transaction fees, which is excellent. You can also choose from hundreds of themes, and if you want, you can start with the basic plan from $23 a month. This is phenomenal for beginners because you don’t need to have enormous knowledge, and it’s pretty easy to start with.

5.Volusion

Volusion is one of the top Shopify alternatives. On average, it’s about $29 a month, and that is great if you have in mind that you fully control everything. You can use some search engine optimization tools, a mobile app, and no transaction fees. It’s excellent for those who don’t need any blogging tools.

Which One to Choose?

Maybe the best possible answer to this question is to try them all. Look for their advantages and disadvantages. But don’t forget to make a budget plan, and try to write down all your needs, and be real after all. Just try to estimate your knowledge and experience and accordingly look for what would suit you best.

But here is why you may want to start thinking about Shopify alternatives.
1.Safex --> https://safex.org/
Safex is a famous marketplace based on blockchain eCommerce technology.

Seems like Daniel Dabek told his criminal partners in Serbia Marija Blesic & Nikola Korbar to come here & spam this forum with nonsense press releases they been creating during the last scam pump & dump, funny how they think someone will choose SAFEX before a reputable eCommerce solution like Shopify & more funny is the fact that SAFEX does not have a functioning marketplace & nobody knows where can be found.

Who will trust SAFEX? a coin developed by random developers hired & fired over five six years known for having multiple bugs that lead to the hack of 1.8 billion SFT, with low mining hash because nobody can sell the mined coins because is not listed on any exchange, a coin at risk of 51% attack that is a security & no exchange wants, a blockchain who will process illegal trade of criminal items so good luck running a node & don't go to jail for being part of Safex organized crime, & also the involvement of former Onecoin & Dascoin scammers. who will choose Safex over Shopify?

Do you think you & your criminal partners have some kind of immunity for being diplomat of a fake nation that doesn't exist just like SAFEX?
That diplomat passport you hold is fake as fuck does not have immunity & is not valid in any country.
Daniel Dabek: Representative
Nikola Korbar: Consul
Marija Blesic: Cultural Attaché

It seems like you are using Liberland to promote scams, or why the Liberland Facebook page is all about buying SAFEX?
https://archive.is/Eu3An
Marija Blesic & Nikola Korbar are not the only scammers of the so called Daniel Dabek Serbian Team, there are many others, like Tamara, involved in impersonation scams with his boyfriend posing as Dreyfus the CEO of CHZ.
Nikola Korbar former Onecoin scammer & now Safex scammer wanted in Bulgaria by the police for his involvement in the Onecoin Ponzi scam is now a free man in Serbia with a Liberland Diplomatic passport.

Mining and Staking: How to Earn Cryptocurrency in 2021    


Introduction

In the fast-expanding global crypto economy, cryptocurrency mining and staking are likely on their way to become even more profitable within the years to come. This article will give a short overview and comparison about mining and staking as two methods to earn cryptocurrencies.  

In order to earn a net profit via cryptocurrency mining, the mining profitability has to be positive. The mining profitability is dependent by the market price and the mining cost of the cryptocurrency. Staking has generally a lower cost per earned unit than mining. Mining, as well as staking, can be either pursued with self-owned hardware or via a third party service provider. Different factors have to be considered in order to decide whether mining or staking will be a profitable investment short-term and also long-term.

For staking, the initial costs are generally minor compared to mining. Staking can be either done with a self-hosted node at home, with a node set up on a virtual instance by a third party infrastructure provider or by using a smart contract. In contrast to mining, the initial staking balance majorly determines the reward.

The price of electricity

The main factor that is defining the mining profitability - especially in the short-term -  is the price of electricity used by a self-owned mining rig. Many countries charge electricity at lower prices to encourage economic growth. Also, the rates for businesses and private persons can significantly differ. Today, most industrial miners do their business in countries that offer electricity at a low price on power purchasing agreements. On the other hand, most retail miners have to calculate retail price fluctuations when planning their investments. Since cryptocurrency mining has developed into a highly competitive business all around the world, the most profitable miners determine the average profitability and can force other less-profitable players out of the business when they can't compete anymore.

The cost of the mining hardware setup

A significant cost factor that has to be included into the mining profitability calculation is the price of the complete mining hardware setup. These prices tend to fluctuate in cycles with periods when buying equipment is relatively affordable and those toward each hype-cycle's peak when equipment may not only be unaffordable but also unavailable. The price of hardware also varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and depends mostly on the amount of computing power it produces on lower energy consumption. The more computing power a machine produces, the more cryptocurrency you will mine. Also, the lower the setup's energy consumption, the lower your monthly costs will be.

To sum it up, you should decide your setup based on the following factors:

    The efficiency of the machine - The ratio of hash output to electricity input.
    The longevity of the machine - It is dependent on the production quality.
    The price of the machine - It will influence the lifetime mining profitability.
    Additional costs - Costs of further infrastructure like servers and rental space.

When all parameters are known and the desired cryptocurrency to mine has been decided on, it is possible to set up a complete mining profitability calculation.

Cloud mining via a third party

Cloud mining involves purchasing time on someone else’s machine. Companies charge cloud mining based on the hash rate (processing power) of provided hardware. The higher the hash rate of the machine you rent is, the more coins you can expect to mine but you will also pay more. Some companies require you to pay a monthly fee while others require a year-long contract.

Cloud mining comes with its own set of benefits. For example, mining on someone else’s machine means you don’t have to worry about the reliability of your electricity infrastructure and rate or the initial cost of the hardware setup. On the other hand, in case you sign a year-long contract and the price of the cryptocurrency you are mining decreases, you will be stuck in an unprofitable contract for a long time.

Cryptocurrency emission cycles

Some digital currencies go through emission cycles with events such as block reward halvings. Such a halving occurs when the amount of cryptocurrency entering circulation as a block reward within time - also known as emission rate - is reduced by half. When the amount of new supply entering the system suddenly drops, the cryptocurrency’s price will be driven up as long as the demand remains constant. The time after the halving is crucial for miners, since the profitability drops rapidly until a market price increase of the currency makes up for the reduced block reward again. During this time, miners are mining with reduced profitability or even at a loss and may capitulate as a result. In the case of Bitcoin, halvings occur every 210,000 blocks, which is around every four years, until the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin has been mined - probably in the year 2140.

Therefore, when deciding on which cryptocurrency will also be profitable to mine in the long-term, it is important to examine and analyze the historical emission rate as well as the future emission rate. Generally, the demand has to outpace the emission rate at any given point in order to drive up the cryptocurrency's price in the long run. Otherwise, the resulting price decrease will make the mining unprofitable if the coins are held too long.  

An example for a cryptocurrency with an equitable mining algorithm - enabling profitable mining with a home CPU - in it's early phase of emission is the privacy-focused PoW currency Safex Cash (SFX). The coin emission follows an S-shaped curve which makes it attractive for new miners to join the ecosystem especially in the first few years. Towards the end of the regular coin emission, the emission rate decelerates again. This pattern is designed to follow the adoption of the currency.
Staking

Ethereum mining has been and probably will be near the top in the digital currency space when it comes to cryptocurrency mining. This is not only because of the block rewards but also the transaction fee revenue for the miners as the use of the protocol is steadily increasing. However, Ethereum’s blockchain has a somewhat different purpose than Bitcoin’s. Ethereum is a smart contract protocol, which means that although mining has supported the network during the phase when it wasn’t widely used for transactions, the network’s future lies in taking on staking nodes as validators to provide sufficient transaction capacity. Since the regular mining will probably be phased out gradually and a substantial amount of coins will be locked in staking, this may drive up the price in the long-term.  

Staking is a mechanism where users deposit some of their coins into a staking address that is owned by a validator node and lock them for a certain period. The node then secures the network by producing blocks relative to the number of coins deposited and the machine calculates the staking reward from the total amount of coins staked in the network for each node. An example for a service provider that lets you stake any amount of Ethereum and temporarily gives out a placeholder token for the staked ETH which can be used for various purposes in return is Lido.

For the majority of PoS blockchains, the annual percentage rate (APR) can be predicted quite well based on parameters set in the code and the number of staking participants. Generally, the staking rewards are paid out in the same currency as the staking deposits which results in an inflation of a staker's cryptocurrency.

The Safex ecosystem does not only give an opportunity to CPU miners, it also introduces a completely new way of staking and earning cryptocurrency. Although being a 100% PoW network, the Safex Token (SFT) allows users to stake and earn cryptocurrency on the Safex blockchain via a staking mechanism which does not contribute to the consensus mechanism of the chain.

Safex - being considered the best Shopify alternative - has embedded the Safex Token (SFT) into its blockchain which serves to allow users to create accounts based on blockchain eCommerce technology and do online shopping with cryptocurrency. However, Safex Token also allows its holders who lock (stake) their tokens to participate in revenue sharing of the Safex platform. It is a utility token released to provide incentives to the community to support the creation of the Safex marketplace. The proportional reward is determined depending on the amount of Safex Token one locks. In this unique way of staking, the staking reward is not paid out in the staked currency which is therefore not affected by inflation. Also, the annual percentage yield (APY) is not set by the protocol independently from transaction traffic but defined by the use of the protocol.

Anonymity

Cryptocurrency mining is not only a way to set up a profitable business or make a profit in smaller scale. People who care about their privacy can also use it as a way to receive cryptocurrency with no prior history and without the need to register on a cryptocurrency exchange at all. This means economic freedom since the currency is not tied to a specific entity. This feature is only present in equitable proof-of-work cryptocurrencies such as Safex Cash (SFX). This goes also for staking cryptocurrencies with the difference being that already wealthy stakers will also receive significantly higher rewards.

Final thoughts

On January 3rd, 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin, became the first cryptocurrency miner in history. Due to very low competition in the early years of cryptocurrencies and the specific emission schedules, miners were able to accumulate large amounts of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. Today, mining has become a highly competitive industry. Mining as well as staking of cryptocurrencies with significant utility value and a projected increase of adoption can be expected to remain a profitable business for years to come.

Safex - being considered the best Shopify alternative

Ho can you compare Shopify with a scam like Safex, & call it the best Shopify Alternative?
Shopify actually exists & had a revenue of 1.58 billion USD in 2019.
Safex dont exist, has no marketplace, nobody know what Safex is, & the little people who knows about Safex is 10% shillers paid by Daniel Dabek & 90% who knows is a scam.
Safex does not hold a copyright for its name or logo, does not hold a twitter account.
Safex got delisted from Coingecko, Cryptopia, Bittrex, Coinspot, Coindeal & literary has been delisted from anywhere because its what John Mcafee wanted.
Safex got hacked 1.8 Billion SFT.
Safex is own by Daniel Dabek former Dascoin Netleader scammer, who created Dascoin based on Onecoin an MLM Ponzi Scam.
Safex team is formed by scammers from Dascoin, Netleaders & Onecoin.
Safex coins SFT & SFX are traded on scam exchanges like BW with deposits & withdrawal suspended where the price is four to five times the real price, BW is working with the scammer Daniel Dabek to artificially increase the price so he can dump on Xcalibra at a lower price.
You been doing this meetups in Belgrade offering free beer to attract victims to your scam. Crypto Belgrade is a scam, you probably can do this criminal activity in Serbia, but not in the US, a few people related to the Mcafee case have been subpoena, what can you tell us about Daniel Dabek hiding & not able to leave the country? did he surrender his passport because of an outgoing criminal investigation?

TWM Wallet

Igor got back into gear last week after coming back from his holidays after the successful launch of the marketplace application to the blockchain on block height 605,700 that took place December 23, 2020. His getting back meant for the wallet to review the blockchain bridge software that we use and give it a final sweep to be launch ready. So, after assessing things last week he put forward some updates to the safex-nodejs-libwallet library which gives us access to the blockchain function from the Graphical User Interface. Igor updated the build system with the latest boost version and this allowed us to remove the work around that we had used in the Stagenet environment to allow mac users to be able to use the wallet.

On additional modification before releasing that Igor will contribute to the wallet is to update the wallet.history() function to include our advanced transaction types so that you can see in your history list your account registrations, stakes, unstakes, edits, new offers, and purchase transactions. Currently the history only shows token/safex cash generically without directly showing the distinction of the transaction. This is not an intensive feature for him to conclude and it will not require a significant update to the GUI but only a modification to the library that bridges the wallet to the blockchain.

Here is the view of the transaction history that shows empty transactions, but we will seek a couple days to update the history function to show a more detailed view. Those 0 amount transactions are actually purchases or account registrations or something else, so let’s get a better view of that. Igor tackles this aspect.

Furthermore, last week Liam and Daniel continued to iron out the two way communication for buyers and merchants. We focused on getting the messages to render and still have two tasks on the visualization side remaining so that buyers can see the messages sent to them from the seller. We hope to resolve through tomorrow.

You could see your offer list and check your orders, in the following screenshot this form, sends a verified seller an encrypted message of the buyers information and opens a communication channel between the buyer and the seller via the TWM API

You can see the production of all of this on: https://github.com/safex/twmwallet

Yet still a few bits to go, and yet we are getting into position to launch a complete package that we hope will be usable to get us to several thousands of users. Of course we expect to approach the wallet in the future with a bigger team and scale this to be usable by millions of people. Our agility, increase of team size after this launch, and attention to technical feedback will be the determining factor.

Safexcore
Igor’s return to the saddle also met some research related to safexcore, and Igor continues to assess any updates that may be beneficial to our node network. He has been reviewing some of the recent issues in the Monero ecosystem and we discovered that we are not affected by some of the recent updates that were made to their node software, since we did not incorporate those changes we are not prone to suffer from the recent glitches that appeared there. :sunrise_over_mountains:

Besides coding, the group has continued with the future planning this week. As we aim to scale TWM and Safex to a broader audience.

We can’t thank you all enough who participate in the development of this novel software endeavor as this is how we have been able to get this far, with testing all throughout last year to allow us to this point where we are now putting forward the “browser” into the world marketplace!

If we get a demo going this week, we will post it with enthusiasm.

Sincerely
The Safex Development Community

Daniel Dabek lied again

Igor got back into gear last week after coming back from his holidays after the successful launch of the marketplace application to the blockchain on block height 605,700 that took place December 23, 2020.

Another lie from Daniel Dabek, the marketplace didn't launch on 2020, what was launched was "the marketplace application to the blockchain"


Safex can be considered as a cult & Daniel Dabek as leader, Daniel Dabek attract new members with gifts like Macbook or Gold Medallion with real Diamond, also he give them T-shirts & Phone Cases. The scammer Daniel Dabek knows well that he needs to recruit members with mental disabilities because those are the most loyal, lets take a look at some:

Daniel Clavin showing his SAFEX gold medallion, Condition: brain damage due hiccup condition & abuse of drugs & alcohol.
Daniel Clavin is probably the most loyal cult member as he loaned his home to buy SAFEX without telling his wife & posted a video on Youtube drinking his own pee in front of a picture of Daniel Dabek. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1258419.msg55635717#msg55635717

Oliver Strauhs showing his brand new Apple Macbook a gift from Daniel Dabek, Condition: autism.

Richard Bate having lunch with Daniel Dabek & Emilia Wojciechowicz , Richard got an Apple Macbook & fully paid luxury trips to Belgrade, Condition: autism - bipolar.

Daniel Dabek is not answering investors anymore, instead he ban them.
What happened to @safex Twitter account?
What happened to @dandabek Twitter account?
What happened to SFT & SFX price?
Why exchanges are not listing SAFEX?
Why Coingecko delisted SAFEX?
What happened to Balkaneum?
What happened to Richard Bate, Stephen Kines & others?
Why Daniel Dabek cannot leave the US anymore?
Why Daniel Dabek lies?

I love how Dan promised a marketplace but forgot his only dev was on vacation. Dan is a pathological liar. He knew he wouldn’t release the mp without Igor looking over the code and fixing stuff yet he couldn’t help him self and had to lie again.  He doesn’t care about posting honest updates. Just whatever sounds good to stop people from dumping even more.

Post is on Safex Blog: https://safex.org/blog/asic-resistant-cryptocurrencies-the-key-to-decentralization/

ASIC-resistant cryptocurrencies aim to preserve and increase their underlying PoW blockchain's degree of decentralization. While it was possible to profitably mine Bitcoin with a CPU after its launch, times have changed and specially designed hardware has taken over for certain mining algorithms.

Introduction

Mining is a major aspect of decentralized networks such as Bitcoin or Ethereum and earning block rewards of those has become extremely profitable over the years. This resulted in cryptocurrency mining turning into a business operation trapped by billion-dollar companies such as Bitmain. Proof of Work networks have evolved due to the rise of mining farms, and now only a few independent entities are contributing significant hash power to the network. Massive mining farms became the primary source of the vast portion of network hash rates put towards the largest decentralized blockchains. They became a necessary evil because the networks rely upon them to maintain the hash rate level that is needed to keep them secure.

As mining farms had invested a large amount of money, proof of work systems sometimes became proof of stake blockchains because most of the network is secured by entities whose sole purpose is acquiring hash rate. This is their stake and the guarantee to act in the best interest of the network. Unfortunately, as mining farms are becoming the main securers of blockchain networks, we are getting further and further away from the idea of decentralization.
A small group has too much control

Only a handful of cloud mining contract providers and private mining farms became the main source of a large portion of Bitcoin’s total network hash rate, threatening the very reason Bitcoin was created, which is decentralizing control over wealth.

This situation led to the fact that the collaboration between these mining farms could enable the acquisition of full control over the Bitcoin network since they possess enough hash rate to do so. In order to increase the scalability of the blockchain, Vitalik Buterin proposed to evolve Ethereum from a PoW to a PoS network. Since a vast portion of Ethereum is stored in less than 100 wallets due to the incredible amount of ETH issued to Ethereum ICO investors, the foundation has a difficult task at hand - How to maintain decentralization in a PoS network?
What is ASIC-resistance?

ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are integrated circuits that are designed to serve a specific use case - performing a particular computing task. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, ASIC devices are optimized to participate in the process of mining. Since they are preferentially used for mining Bitcoin, this cryptocurrency can not be considered to be ASIC-resistant.

Mining involves making multiple attempts to find a solution to a sort of mathematical problem. As the main purpose of an ASIC is to perform as many attempts (hashing functions) per second as possible, they make for a way better tool to mine Bitcoin or other ASIC mineable PoW cryptocurrencies than a GPU.

ASIC resistant coins have implemented mining algorithms which are configured in a way that using ASIC machines in an effort to mine these is either impossible or brings almost no benefits in comparison to traditional GPU mining. As a result, it makes using ASICs for mining ASIC-resistant coins unprofitable and takes those players out of the game.

The process of making and keeping a cryptocurrency ASIC resistant requires continuous development and constant modifications since ASIC designers and manufacturers are constantly producing new models of ASIC miners that are often able to invalidate the ASIC-resistance status of mining algorithms.
Selection of ASIC-resistant coins

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency extremely popular with miners. This smart contract protocol employs the proof-of-work consensus mechanism, requiring miners to use their computing power to solve complex mathematical equations and earn a block reward. Ethereum’s mining algorithm Ethash was designed to be ASIC-resistant enabling CPU and GPU miners to contribute to securing the network.

Although it is quite easy to set up a solo miner for Ethereum, it is very advisable to join a mining pool in order to receive smaller but more regular block rewards since the total network hash rate is very high - this goes for any PoW cryptocurrency with a very high total network hash rate.

Monero (XMR)

Monero is the blockchain network that utilizes the CryptoNight protocol and is among the most profitable CPU mineable coins. It is a popular digital currency for small mining operations and ranks amongst the largest cryptocurrencies when it comes to market value. As such, it has the potential to be more profitable to trade the profits acquired through mining.

The developers of the project are dedicated to keeping the blockchain ASIC resistant making sure that small-scale miners are always able to compete within the privacy coin’s network.

Safex Cash (SFX)

Safex Cash is a proof-of-work mineable privacy-oriented cryptocurrency that is used as a medium of exchange on the marketplace embedded in the Safex protocol. Its mining algorithm is called RandomSFX was developed based on Monero's algorithm RandomX and features a dynamic difficulty adjustment as well as a preference for CPU mining.  The cryptocurrency has an emission curve that follows the rate of adoption of new technologies and uses stealth addresses as well as ring signatures to ensure its privacy features.

Mining Safex Cash is actually pretty simple and can be done in different ways. Via a 1-click miner application it is possible to mine in the Safex pool after a few steps. Another way to start the mining process is using the command line interface on Ubuntu or MacOS. For users who want to mine with a CPU rig build without a graphical user interface there is a software that can be easily run from USB. Finally, it is also possible to solo mine Safex Cash using the safexcore software. As more people are getting involved into the mining over time, more Safex Cash will be rewarded via block rewards making its distribution equal and fair as a result.  

Haven Protocol (XHV)

This CryptoNote based protocol is fuelled by PoW mining of an ASIC-resistant cryptocurrency with privacy features as well. In addition to this currency, it is possible to create further different assets on the Haven blockchain via a burn and mint process. Therefore, the Haven Protocol coin serves as gateway to the price-oracle backed stablecoin xUSD and for other assets being added in the future. The burn and mint process is possible in either direction, so users can choose to exit from the stablecoin xUSD again to enter into the possibly more volatile XHV.

Horizen (ZEN)

This is another one of ASIC-resistant coins and a great cryptocurrency to mine at home. It was launched in 2017 and inspired by differences of opinion over the launch of Zclassic, its parent blockchain, which community members believed was skewed in favor of developers. It employs an ASIC-resistant Equihash algorithm and is considered the best among the Equihash coins in terms of rewards earned.

Vertcoin (VTC)

Vertcoin was launched in 2014 as the developers felt that Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies had become too centralized following the rise of ASICs. It employs the Lyra2RE proof-of-work algorithm which is intended to be mineable only through the use of GPUs and CPUs, making it very popular for at-home miners. Mining this cryptocurrency was made very simple by the developers since they have created a one-click miner. Additionally, joining a mining pool will result in receiving block rewards on a more regular basis.

Aeon (AEON)

Aeon is great for at-home mining because of its mobile-friendly features. Its blockchain technology is designed for pruning the data downloaded to a device based on its storage capacity, making it easy to run the blockchain and its consensus algorithm on devices with fairly limited storage. Aeon is a privacy coin which employs its own modified version of the CryptoNote protocol called Cryptonite-light, that verifies the underlying blockchain very fast.

Final thoughts

Choosing a profitable coin to mine and for a long-term investment in 2021 is a critical decision that requires some research. You want to make sure that you are not needlessly expending money and energy mining an unprofitable coin. By choosing an ASIC-resistant and preferably CPU mineable coin, you make sure that you are in a network where you don't have to compete with big ASIC and GPU farms. It is important to set up a correct calculation for the mining profitability for the short-term as well for the long-term. It is also advisable to do more research about cryptocurrency as well as about other possibilities to earn cryptocurrency.

Another possibility would be to use Safex - the blockchain engine for eCommerce. It is a decentralized blockchain-based privacy-oriented network that allows for anonymous peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions and as a result comes with various advantages over traditional eCommerce platforms. After setting up a vendor account on the blockchain, you will be able to host offers for goods and services of any kind on the market and start earning cryptocurrency this way, too.
