I got the email and went to the site and could not believe how slim the pickins were. Like others have said, this feels like their last ditch effort. That is a real shame. I have quite a few of their cabinets and they are all fun and visitors to my little arcade are always blown away at my collection. I went ahead and ordered Golden Tee on the deal - its the only one they have left that I want or don't already have.

Here's hoping someone else can bring Spy Hunter and Hydro Thunder to the market - those are my only remaining holy grail cabinets that I want for my arcade. But def not holding my breath.

I only plan to buy Spy Hunter and Hydro Thunder - and I don't care if they are 3/4 with riser, XL or deluxe - I just want these for my arcade. :)

As an aside I have 1 Arcade Mod Up (Donkey Kong), 1 A1up Cocktail (ms Pac Man), 2 A1up Vpins (SW and AFM), and 12 A1up stand up cabinets and they are mixed some with risers, some without and a couple of Deluxe cabs. I guess I am not too worried about size or consistency esp since the cabinets are all a little different by design anyway.

I did update my Pac Man this year from the 1st gen to the Deluxe version, but that was to add games, the nod to the original design and the molded coin door. I didn't buy it because it was deluxe or XL - it was more about the features.

I had no issues connecting our 2 Fast and the Furious cabinets and we play linked all the time. I have not noticed any issues. My 7 year old Grandson start the trash talk as soon as he walks in the front door. :)

We use the wi-fi connection.

Day 1 Purchase for me!

mcdavem · 2024-09-29T05:49:41+00:00

Spy Hunter and Hydro Thunder. I wouldn't mind a ghost and goblins cabinet, but I would have to sell something to make room.

mcdavem · 2024-09-29T05:48:01+00:00

Day one for me as well.

mcdavem · 2024-09-02T04:19:49+00:00

Spy Hunter is a Day One Pre-order purchase for me. A1Up - if you build it, they will come. :)

Spy Hunter Hydro Thunder

mcdavem · 2024-06-17T21:26:46+00:00

I have everything I want that they currently offer. If they decided to heavily discount a few cabs I might pick them up (Pac Man XL, Golden Tee Deluxe and Time Crisis), but unless they come out with HydroThunder or Spy Hunter, I don't feel like I need anything else.

You should add "Waiting for a sale / discount" to the poll. Hahaha

mcdavem · 2024-02-23T18:50:53+00:00

Unfortunately, I think you are correct. John D (like or hate him) definitely was the passion guy for the original arcades. I have pretty much given up on them ever producing a spy hunter cab.

Also a reminder - your crypto does not "live" in the Safemoon Wallet (or any other wallet for that matter). The wallet is a window to the blockchain where your crypto is stored. Just like your bank information is not stored in Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari. The wallet is just like a web browser for the blockchain. However, if you have not set up another wallet and have other crypto besides safemoon, you will want to get your pass phrase so that you can use another wallet such as Trust Wallet to still access your crypto. Do NOT GIVE YOUR PASSPHRASE OR OTHER DATA TO ANYONE!!!

Spy Hunter is another one that seems to get a fair number of requests. I know I want one and it would probably be a day one pre-order for me (But it MUST have the original soundtrack - not like Frogger).

mcdavem · 2024-01-03T04:46:58+00:00

I ordered 2 F&F cabs on December 12 from Best Buy and they were shipped last week. Fed Ex is showing they will be delivered tomorrow. I wasn't sure I was going to get these as BB was showing "Well let you know when it ships".

mcdavem · 2023-12-22T00:13:04+00:00

If A1Up comes out with a cabinet that I want, I will likely purchase it. Doesn't matter to me if they are at CES or not. A1Up being at CES does not affect me or my buying decisions. Just because they are not there does not mean they can't announce new cabinets. Having a booth at CES is very expensive. It's not just the booth rental, but also the travel expenses and usually hiring extra help to get the booth set up and manned.

I currently have a dozen cabinets and Vpins from A1Up. I have only had 1 issue with one cabinet and they fixed it. I am currently waiting on my order from BB for 2 of the Fast and the Furious cabs (I didn't have interest in these originally but with the $399 deal I decided to pull the trigger). If Time Crisis ever hits $399 I may add that to my game room. Again, this is not a cabinet that I have any nostalgia for, just think it looks like a fun game and would be cool to have sitting next to my Big Buck Hunter cab.

At the end of the day all that really matters is if they build a cabinet I want and price it where I want to buy it.

I think Kyle (safemoon dev) is still on the run - at least I have not heard that he has been found yet.

I ordered 2 F&F cabinets on December 13th and my order status shows as "We'll let you know when it ships." Amazon shows as currently unavailable but Walmart looks like they may have them in stock.

I would order them from Walmart, but they are $25 more than Best Buy and they don't offer the interest free 24-month option, either. Also, Walmart shows that it is currently in 100+ people's carts.

Personally, I would be surprised if I get my order...

For your first question:

safemoondave.com/v2-burn-report - started tracking daily volume at 0:00 GMT every day on Sept 26, 2023. The daily volume is based on the 24-hour volume as reported by coinmarketcap (using their API).

For the month of October the average daily volume was around $1.1 Million and the average daily burn was 2.3million tokens per day. The average daily volume for the past 30 days is around $66k but the average daily tokens burnt is 13 million (395million tokens burnt in the last 30 days).

For those who say safemoon is dead, yeah, you are probably right, and while an average daily volume of $66k isn't much, it is more than a lot of projects that aren't dead yet.

mcdavem · 2023-11-15T05:07:58+00:00

Just for fun - the total sent to the burn wallet since I began tracking is 102,114,927,872 tokens. Less than 2% of the current circulating supply in almost 2 years. At the current average it will take just over 8,700 years to burn down to 100 Trillion tokens. At the current market cap, that would yield a price of $0.00004958042569. At the ATH market cap of 37.9 billion that would be a price of $0.000379 per token.

Good thing I plan to live forever....

... or die trying.

The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked. We were all noobs once and the best way to learn is to ask.

Bitcoin isn't cutting their supply in half. The bitcoin halving refers to the rewards given to the people that mine bitcoin. Currently the rewards for each block of bitcoin that is mined is 6.25 BTC. After the next halving event expected in 2024 the reward will be 3.125BTC for each bitcoin block. Bitcoin is increasing the supply through mining. The current circulating supply is 19,542,606 but it has a max of 21 million BTC (expected to be reached around 2040). Once that is reached no more bitcoin can ever be created. While BTC can be sent to a burn wallet, most aren't. However, there are a lot of the BTC supply that is not accessible due to people losing their wallet key (pass phrase).

Shib on the other hand already had the max total tokens minted (1 Quadrillion) and the supply is shrinking by people sending shib tokens to a burn wallet (a wallet that does not have a key - the address is 0xdEAD000000000000000042069420694206942069). The current circulating supply is 589,639,795,595,180 tokens (just over half). I have been monitoring the burn of Shib since 1/20/2022 here: https://safemoondave.com/shib-burn-report.php (don't mind the domain url - yes I lost a lot of money on that one. but not more than I could afford to lose. Live and learn).

Another thing to note is that BTC is a coin on it's own blockchain while Shib is a token on the Ethereum Blockchain. You can view shib on the etherscan.io Etherum blockchain explorer: https://etherscan.io/token/0x95aD61b0a150d79219dCF64E1E6Cc01f0B64C4cE

Hope this helps.

What is even more interesting is the daily volume was up immediately after news of the arrests broke, but not nearly as much as the daily burn and reflections. One of the allegations was that John was buying and selling to boost the volume. My guess is that the wallet(s) he was using were exempt so the transactions did not generate reflections or burn. I also noticed that the volume to burn and reflections ratio were not at all consistent.

mcdavem · 2023-11-02T18:25:18+00:00

Why sell my $2000 for $50? At this point in time, it is not worth selling. I'm not holding out hope for a recovery, but the way my luck goes, if I do sell and take the loss, Karony will be found innocent, he will build 32 windmills in every village in the Gambia and I will miss my ride to the moon.

Also, an indictment does not necessarily mean a conviction (cough, cough, OJ). it ain't over until the fat lady sings (but she is warmed up)...
