To trust other people, some even more inexperienced than me... (4chan, bitcointalk, etc). Haha.
I've learnt since then.

So the wallet is still not out. I am questioning the team's technological competence.

@milanr you are quite possibly the worst PR guy for any coin ever. I don't know how you got hired honestly. This is literally the most pathetic display of incompetence I have ever seen from any project.

@daniel dabek.... You aren't a genius. Nowhere close. It doesn't take 3 days to package binaries. Either you just started coding or you are intentionally letting the price plummet.

@safex team - the most pathetic team of losers I have ever encountered. Their slack channel is disgusting not because of the trolls, but because of milanr and dan dabek's incoherent statements every 6 hours promising a new deadline for the wallet release.

We aren't even talking about the product here. This is the fu@king wallet. Ever. Single. Altcoin. Out. There. has a wallet. You should be ashamed.
 

A few more points:

- You need to spellcheck your website. Change the layout. Revamp it.
- Make sure the safex reddit keeps growing by active involvement. Trust me. Without a real online presence within the next few months, this project will die.
- Whoever the other team members are that aren't involved with actual development don't seem to be doing anything useful... Either they work on the website or they find big investors interested in the project. That's the only way this will grow and be able to compete with other marketplaces.


In the description of the safex team on the website, this pops up:

"Daniel had witnessed and participated in the saga of digital currencies from the onset of everything that we see as mainstream today. He had the benefit of observation first before offering solutions. Since Daniel has a diverse range of skills in trading, programming, and communicating he has developed a tool set which enables him to wield solutions like no one else. He has formed the Safex Developers Team who follow him into the task of securing trade of people of the world."

I don't know what to do with this. Apart from a load of BS, I see nothing of actual value. Maybe list your actual skills, along with those of your team members. Maybe your educational background or your specific talents.

- Exactly wtf is "Milan Radosavljevic" doing? I would have assumed a PR guy would constantly be replying on bitcointalk and reddit, constantly updating on slack, etc. A tweet everyday, an instagram post everyday. Eacho f these tasks takes 5 minutes...I COULD DO A BETTER JOB. DM me and I will honestly do the job for half of whatever this guy is getting paid and I sure as hell will be much more productive.
 
- Nikola Popovic - AND WHAT IS THIS GUY DOING? Does he code? What is the point of everyone here?
- Pavle Aleksic - Update the website. Correct spelling errors, weirdly placed words, irrelevant details. Why is the website not perfect...
- Marija Blesic - Honestly don't know what to day. Visual designer apparently. I don't see any changes for months...

So let me get this straight... You hire a bunch of people with 0 skills instead of getting some top coders who've won the ICO or accomplished something impressive in the [Suspicious link removed]munity...

And now you go out and get 3 economists. Am I hallucinating? Is this a joke? And now you want a $2 billion marketcap?

Honestly, I don't know if you're reading the whole thing, but hire me...

- I can code in c++, python, can do PR, can market full-time, can make sure subscribers grow on reddit. I am heavily invested in this project because I see the potential, but this is insane...

Hello safex devs,

I and other investors are tired of your shit...

- Please answer questions regularly on reddit. If Vitalik Buterin and Da Hongfei can do that, then you should too. Especially at this stage of the project, when you want new followers and new users.

- What is the difference between the Ardor/NXT marketplace and Safex? Someone asked this on Reddit today as well. Presumably, the only difference would be anonymity and a mild headstart.

- This is a goddamn startup. Releasing idiotic pictures of you coding doesn't mean anything. Sure, it's good to see that the team is actually coding, but what we need is regular updates.

- Why the f*** are there only 2 devs working on this... And what is the rest of the team doing. WHY DO YOU NEED 3 economists for this project??

- YOU NEED MORE CORE DEVS who have previously worked at google, facebook, etc. who can actually code full-time on this. When you're "on vacation and traveling", there needs to be someone working on this full-time....

Honestly, this entire project reeks. You take days to correct stylistic issues in CSS? Are you serious? If you were a startup, this would have burned to the ground a long time ago...

Just so I am clear:

- Why is the whitepaper taking so long. Is it a 100 pages long?
- Has the actual coding/development STARTED?

Ohad. I am not sure if you answered these questions already, but a clear-cut answer to these questions would be EXTREMELY helpful to everyone in the community...
I feel like you often avoid answering these questions in black/white terms.

So what do people think the price per coin will eventually be?
And what is the price per coin right now.

ohad,

we appreciate you because you are:
-honest
-hardworking
-modest

and undoubtedly smart. However, had Einstein taken Hilbert's help, he would have produced his theory of spacetime and relativity a lot quicker (for example). Things happened to work out Einstein's way, but had others seen Einstein's work and published it as their own, there could have been little done in the meantime by Einstein.

I believe there is a small community of devs who are suddenly interested in helping you with the project because of its potential. The pump on bittrex brought it to many people's attention.

Some simple requests from someone who believes in the potential of your ideas:

- An updated, modern website (I know this has been mentioned before). This is perhaps the most trivial part of it all.
- Hiring of 1-2 talented devs whom you trust fully.

This will take a lot of weight off your shoulders and accelerate development. I fear that your ideas might not be adopted even when you release the product simply because of the long release times and lack of public outreach through modern communication systems. By far, these are the most trivial aspects of your project, but they happen to be important in today's world.
From what I understand about nomic games, active participation of users is necessary for its growth and success. A knowledge graph cannot be built without contributors. I fear contributors might never arrive because of the current situation.

Hi newf, icointalk,

Thank you for replying to me regarding ohad's plan. Of course, like many people here, I think the concept is super cool.

Few questions:

- Product is tentatively ready to be released in 2017. What are the bottlenecks?
- Are you (newf, cointalk) also devs involved in the project?
- I have never heard of a project where a single dev works on the entire development. It is always a collaborative process because one coder can make many mistakes. Ohad is the only dev working on the project. Why haven't others started working with him? What is slowing progress?

- I have looked at ohad's questions on mathoverflow and they do not seem to strike me to be of a sufficiently high level to warrant the title of "genius" surrounding the man. Undoubtedly, ohad is smart and hardworking, but to achieve a project of this level would take the minds of many to do properly. I want the project to succeed. Where do you see the innovations going without smart, efficient execution.

Is ohad planning on being the sole dev for time immemorial? Will new devs be hired as the project grows in scope?

Ohad,

Will there be a product ready to be tested by the end of the year? (December).
A yes or no would suffice, so I can decide when to invest.

Ohad,

When should we expect an announcement regarding the actual product?
Everyone understands this is a large project, but it is extremely unsatisfying to know that no announcements have made regarding the actual project itself.

All the talk here has been about coins, their prices, etc. Frankly, if this project works, coin prices will balloon anyway.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give the community some indication that progress has been made on the project. Are you the only one working on it? Are there other developers involved? This is the information that is relevant to the community. It is frankly very unfair not to be sharing the important details with everyone here who is trying to understand what you are doing.

Guys STOP INSULTING OHAD. STOP DIRECTING YOUR ANGER AT EACH OTHER AS WELL.

To my knowledge, he has not made any promises he hasn't kept (although he has made very few of them). Investors willingly put their money into the project.
If a scammer posted their wallet address, you would not blindly send your btc there would you?

All the investors here WILLINGLY invested in the project. Stop complaining. So you lost a few btc in the pump. Ohad had nothing to do with it. People have taken incomplete information and run wild with it.

Yes, Ohad could communicate better. Yes, if he wants investors to support him more, he should be more open with his work. YES, he should update his website if he wants more publicity, recognition and investments.

However, this is not what he's trying to accomplish clearly. He is behaving differently from all the other horrendous ICOs out there with NONEXISTENT products who shamelessly publicize their product and pocket millions in SECONDS.

Stop insulting the man. He's been responding to our queries. I too would like more answers but the reactions here have been absolutely pathetic. If all people here care about is profits, then make your own coin. The point of these technologies is to revolutionize the world. Stop being so shortsighted. We are allowed to hold Ohad accountable, but to insult someone who hasn't done anything to contribute to the meaningless pump? So horrible.

i didn't block anyone. i'm flooded with hundreds of messages and i cannot get back to everyone on time. in fact that's how it all began.. i posted at the end of may that the direct sale price will be increased x2 in 1st of june because i was indeed flooded by messages, and, the market price was above the direct sale price (at that period of time and still) so it made no sense.

Ohad, I don't think that user said you blocked him. There have been people going around pumping the coin. They blocked the user above.

We devs following the tauchain community are still interested in the progress of the project itself. Any official updates would be appreciated.

One thing:
The website is outdated and does not look very good, frankly. Any decent webdev can easily revamp it to look a bit more modern. This is not related to the tech itself, but simply visibility. If required, I can help.
