This is an archival tutorial announcement. The old exchange and instructions are historical; use the current guides on this site to get started.

The article preserves the announced collaboration and its intended integration. It does not establish that every planned component was subsequently delivered.

This is development-stage prototype code, with incomplete paths and mock state. It is a historical engineering record.

This is the design proposed in 2015. A proposal in a whitepaper is not, by itself, evidence that every feature had been implemented.

The article describes trading Citibank shares; its headline should not be read as proof of employment at Citibank. The technical discussion reflects the original SAFE-based design.

The capture is dated 11 March 2016 at 19:08:25 UTC. Its heading is “Crypto-Asset Market Capitalizations”; the Safe Exchange Coin row is #8 and identifies Omni as its platform. This is the Assets category, not an overall top-ten cryptocurrency ranking. The underlying row reports $1,676,366.53704 in market capitalization.

The capture is dated 2 April 2016 at 20:56:35 UTC. The original row reports rank 5, Omni as the platform, and market capitalization of $3,378,936.66954. This is a dated category placement; it does not establish an all-time high or an overall top-five rank.

The snapshot’s embedded historical data identifies CoinMarketCap asset ID 1172 at rank 88, with reported market capitalization of $387,431.43731959. CoinMarketCap now labels this historical series “Safex Token” / SFT, although the contemporary asset was Safe Exchange Coin. This records a verified date within the top 100, not the first entry date or uninterrupted membership.

CoinIdol marks this article as updated on 29 October 2017. The present text should not be treated as a preserved, unchanged copy of the July 2016 forecast.

The source displays a later update date of 29 October 2017.

This supports voting based on on-chain holdings. It does not establish that each ballot was itself written onto the blockchain.

CoinIdol displays an update date of 29 October 2017. This records published market commentary, not a claim to have developed the projects discussed.

The byline establishes reporting on the incident, not authorship of Ethereum’s fix. The article was updated in October 2017.

The directory is evidence of the event profile; it is not a recording of a particular talk.

The article credits Daniel as its author and includes Lee’s interview responses. Its displayed update date is 19 July 2020.

CoinMarketCap asset ID 1172: rank 77; market capitalization $53,582,039.97504897; price $0.02495108; 24-hour volume $2,415,880.50. These are historical market figures, not funds raised, project revenue, user counts, or a claim about present value. The modern historical page uses the Safex Token name for the original coin’s series.

The article includes a correction distinguishing early SAFE Network application development from employment on MaidSafe’s core team.

GitHub identifies the release publisher. The software is credited to Safex Developers, and this entry does not attribute all team-written code to one person.

The date range is the event date given by the d10e channel, rather than a guessed date for my individual session.

The event is identified as Blockchain Fair 2018. A surviving web record carrying the interview is dated 9 June 2018.

Dated interview record

GitHub records Kiu0612 as the release publisher. This is credited as a team accomplishment, not as Daniel’s sole implementation.

This establishes inclusion in the organizer’s 2019 speaker program. It is not independent verification of every claim in a supplied speaker biography.

The date is the LiberlandPress publication date. Its description of a first public trade is about the Safex demonstration; this entry does not claim a world-first decentralized trade.

This is a development presentation from the fifth-anniversary event, before the December 2020 marketplace launch announcement.

Safex’s description of the presentation

Safex Foundation, Inc. et al. v. Safeth, Ltd. et al., No. 1:21-cv-00161 (BAH), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell, ECF 39, accompanying order ECF 38. The relief concerned trademark infringement and specified related statements. Defamation claims against Safeth were dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction; damages and attorney fees were denied. This entry does not characterize the case as a damages or general defamation victory.

The release describes Safex Market as the marketplace business and the Foundation as supporting the open-source project.

Personal development record, June 9–12, 2024, recovered from my ChatGPT work. These sessions document exploration and generated implementation work, including txn_v3.js and CryptoNote input serialization. They do not establish a completed pure-JavaScript wallet release in 2024.

Safex Foundation, Inc. v. SafeLaunch Ventures Limited et al., No. 1:22-cv-00572 (CRC), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Christopher R. Cooper, ECF 51, accompanying order ECF 50. The motion was granted in part and denied in part. Monetary relief and attorney fees required further evidence and were resolved in March 2026. This is a district-court default judgment, not a jury verdict or appellate ruling.

I date the SuperSync project’s beginnings to November 2025. Development records from November 19–28 show daemon polling, mempool confirmation rules, modular message routing and live interface work. November 22 records discuss confirmation detection and transaction lifecycle updates. This dates the development, not a public release announcement or a measured speed claim.

The November 15 development conversation includes generated component files and my confirmation that the modular setup worked after correcting a duplicated wallet component. Demonstration metrics in the early UI were placeholders, not live network measurements.

December 18 implementation notes describe a unified Safex WebSocket payload, batching, snapshots, removed-transaction handling and updates to the client cache. This entry records implementation work; it does not claim an independently benchmarked performance result.

Safex Foundation, Inc. v. SafeLaunch Ventures Limited et al., No. 1:22-cv-00572 (CRC), Judge Christopher R. Cooper, ECF 57, concerning amended order ECF 56. The court independently assessed the evidence and awarded less in profits than requested, while granting the requested fees. “Awarded” describes the court’s decision; it does not establish collection or payment. This is the monetary stage of the 2025 case, not a third lawsuit.

The public repository describes a zero-dependency JavaScript implementation of CryptoNote’s block-based Base58 format. The Safex organization’s repository listing dates its update to July 26, 2026. Publication is distinguished from earlier development proposals.

The public README names Daniel Dabek as maintainer and documents encoding, decoding and deterministic private view-key derivation. SWIF is a recovery format, not encryption; recovery values must be kept private. The repository listing records an update on July 27, 2026.

The public repository and alpha.4 changelog document SFX/SFT transaction construction, ring signing, separate cash fee inputs for token transfers and independent asset conservation. The published alpha.4 uses an asm.js cryptographic build with ES-module wrappers alongside the JavaScript wallet logic. My July 29 work record identifies alpha.4 at commit 49ad3bf29f87c993307628e46c4dc08cb5995358 and reports 22 passing tests. Those were implementation tests, not proof of a public wallet launch that day.

Wallet-core changelog

The August 18 work record includes a successful service health response for Safex Swap V2 2.7.8-alpha.1 and a working admin page. This demonstrates a running private integration, not a public launch or proof that every fulfillment path was commissioned.

The August 19 development record reports matching indexed and quorum heights of 2,068,152, zero-block lag and a healthy three-member quorum. This is a recorded observation from that rebuild, not a promise of permanent zero lag or a general performance benchmark. Private infrastructure details are omitted.

The live wallet is documented in the September 8 deployment record and the public site checked in September 2026. This entry records availability by September, not an invented first-launch day. Later staged builds are kept distinct from the version confirmed live. The user also directly confirmed the wallet launch for this biography.
