That would be great step towards mass acceptance. I'll keep my fingers crossed  Agreed Amadeus, any further use cases will help our industry gain traction. Of course, ultimately that will benefit DNotes  Just a short update, we are heavily focused and very active on HERo and the resulting networking efforts for DNotes Global. Still generating a great deal of interest and making lots of great connections. |

This is regrettable, but consumer options will slowly but surely force the larger banks to play ball. I think those banks that deny service to crypto companies are just giving up their business to those that will. I recently set up a business entity around my crypto investments and one bank--a well known one that we'd used personally--flat out refused to open up a business account for that entity. So off I went to another bank (also very prominent, but not one we'd used personally) and I've been very happy with them ever since. I'm not sure what the upside was for the bank that refused. It's not like they were going to bail me out if I made a bad trade and lost money. You're absolutely right! Eventually digital currencies will become more mainstream and the majority of banks have very little reason to exclude those utilizing or trading crypto. They do take the stance that it could be used by bad actors... but they accept cash if I walk in to make a deposit, which is far more advantageous for bad actors and far less traceable. The government even accepts crypto, at least in some states. |

Guys-add more exchanges.
And add another payment in other top coins-this option is considered?
Hi Vazan25, definitely plan to add more exchanges. Will take a little bit of time. We will just be accepting DNotes for now, as it is our primary motivation to build the bot as a demonstration for DNotesPay Software and get more people interested in trading and DNotes. |

Our vision is to create a trading bot that is accessible anywhere in the world and that anyone can use to grow their portfolio and support the market they are trading in, irrespective of trading or bot experience. It uses a trading strategy that is easy to understand, flexible, and supportive of the market you are trading in, as opposed to trading strategies that are designed to extract value from the market. Learn More: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5084651DNotes 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What is new with DNotes 2.0?A: DNotes 2.0 is a major improvement on the original DNotes blockchain. The new blockchain will allow DNotes and its partner company DNotes Global to achieve its objective to connect DNotes to the modern world of finance and commerce. The new blockchain is faster, more secure, and consumes only a fraction of the electricity. It also allows custom invoices to be created and attached to transactions, and changes the economic incentives of the network to one that encourages savings with the switch to the Proof-Of-Stake algorithm, and paying 0.5% interest on balances that haven’t moved from a wallet address in a 30 day period (~6% per annum).

(after April 16th)A: The DNotes coin swap process will now be done through a private fork of the legacy DNotes blockchain. We have created this fork to ensure that legacy DNotes holders are still able to swap their legacy DNotes for DNotes 2.0 long after the deadline, in the event they missed the swap. This also ensures we will not be accepting newly purchased or mined DNotes, protecting our users and network. In order to swap your coins, you will need the following DNotes v1.3 wallet, which you can download here: http://dnotescoin.com/DNotes/dnotes-qt1-3.zipYou will need to copy your wallet.dat or wallet backup file to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DNotes1-3 directory, open the wallet application and allow it to update. Next, you will need an address to send your legacy DNotes in to for the coin swap, you can generate a legacy address with the following instructions: Create a DNotesVault.com account if you don’t already have one. Login to your DNotesVault.com account, and click the HISTORIC tab at the top. Click Create Address, and send your DNotes to the address you just created. Coin swaps will be processed once a month until further notice. Q: What is the cutoff date for mined DNotes that can be swapped to the new DNotes blockchain?A: We have set April 16th 2018 as the soft deadline. No DNotes mined after this date will be eligible to be swapped to DNotes running on the new blockchain. We will continue swap DNotes after that date, however the process will not be as easy and will take more time. Any DNotes 1.x purchased on exchanges after the 16th will not be eligible for the swap. Q: Will DNotes 2.0 be listed on new exchanges?We are currently listed on: https://mercatox.com/exchange/NOTE/BTChttps://stocks.exchange/trade/NOTE/BTChttps://www.nlexch.com/markets/notebtchttps://bitebtc.com/trade/note_btcBeta or Future Exchanges we are working with: https://blockbid.io/Q: Are the new DNotes 2.0 coins worth the same as the old coins?A: Yes, they are worth exactly the same. However we can not predict what price movements will occur at exchanges once DNotes is relisted using the new coins. Q: I have Mac or Specific Linux OS, will there be wallets for these? A: Yes! We currently have Windows / Mac / Linux Mint / Ubuntu Desktop wallets at DNotesCoin.com. If you need something else, please let us know. Q: Where is the block explorer? A: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/StakingQ: What is Staking?A: Staking your coins helps to support the DNotes network, and the network currently pays out roughly 5 DNotes every minute to one address on the network based on a probability that centers on how many coins the user is staking with as a percentage of the total number of coins being staked on the network. The DNotes network pays out ~2% of the total number of coins per annum. If 100% of DNotes were being used to stake on the network, then by probability each user could expect 2% growth in the number of coins they have. If only 50% of coins are used to stake, then those users could expect approximately 4% growth that year. Q: Can I stake my coins on the DNotesVault?A: You cannot currently stake your coins that are on the DNotesVault, you will need to withdraw your DNotes 2.0 to a local wallet and stake your coins from your local wallet. We will in a future release incorporate cold staking, which will allow you stake your coins while they are safely tucked away inside the DNotesVault. However, we do not have an ETA, it will be one of our highest priorities for next upgrades. Q: How do I stake?Disclaimer: It is recommended that you properly secure your computer and wallet, as well as make proper backups, before attempting to run your own staking wallet. Failure to properly secure your DNotes may result in loss or theft. If you are not familiar with the process, please start off small and familiarize yourself with the process. You will need to download the DNotes QT wallet here: http://dnotescoin.com/#DownloadInstall the wallet (and we recommend creating a backup, after encrypting your wallet) Go to settings, and then ‘encrypt wallet’. Enter your password twice (and do NOT forget it, or you will not be able to access the wallet and we can not help you). Go to settings, and then ‘unlock wallet’, enter your password, and select “for staking only”. This will prevent any transfers from being made from your wallet without the password while you stake your coins. Soon the arrow at the bottom will turn green. This means that your coins are now staking. Video: https://youtu.be/bR66LWPRzAUQ: How do I get the most out of my staking efforts? A: There is no trick to staking efficiently. The factors involved are your coin weight versus the network coin weight and coin weight is the number of coins currently staking. The age does not matter, nor does how you divide or move your coins around. Q: How much can I earn staking? A: That depends on how many coins you are staking and how many coins are being staked on the network. The blockchain distributes Current Total Coins / 525,600 * 0.02 every block, or every 60 seconds. You may calculate how often you are chosen to receive the block reward by dividing your network weight verse your weight. If network weight is 100, and your weight is 5, then you would be chosen for block reward 5 blocks out of every 100. CRISPQ: Can I get CRISP reward AND stake at the same time? A: Yes, the system is designed to allow you to receive CRISP on a wallet you are staking Q: What is the CRISP reward structure? A: CRISP periods are every 43,200 blocks (30 day target). Payments start 10,080 blocks (1 week target) from the end of the CRISP period. Q: What do I need to do to earn CRISP? A: Keep your coins in the same address for the full CRISP period 30 days, set every 43,200 blocks. Q: When will I receive CRISP payments? A: The next payouts are as follows: May 1 - Ends first CRISP period. May 8 - Payout starts. (Virtually no one will receive this payout) June 2 - Ends second CRISP period June 10 - Payout starts Roughly. Q: Do I get CRISP payments at the DNotesVault? A: Yes! You get CRISP inside the DNotesVault, or at any address you control, such as a Desktop wallet. Though I won't suspect you will be able to get CRISP rewards from the exchanges or other online providers. Q: Where do the CRISP coins come from? A: The blockchain, these are newly created coins and have now become part of the new coin distribution, just like the staking reward. Q: How do I earn the interest reward?A: Our Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan (CRISP) payouts occur approximately once per month. All coins that haven’t moved address during that month period will accrue a 0.5% interest, which compounds to roughly 6.17% per annum. If you move your coins during that time, those coins will not receive the interest for that month. |

Might have been canceled for some other reason?
Live test was successful on my end replaced all my orders a few days ago. On Feb 27th.
Possibly something to do with the scheduled maintenance? I'll add them back in I guess... This is the best case for now. Hopefully you can just export and re-import them. That is terrible that they cancel orders on people. The worst thing would be to expect an order you had sitting was executed and then find out it was canceled on you. That may be why they haven't kept their top position as a dominant exchange. |

It's not my area of expertise, so I can only comment with opinion based on limited knowledge, experience, and understanding. We've been watching how the markets work and react for some time, and this article does add some context to ideas I've been formulating. That's not an endorsement to the validity of the concepts in the article in any way, just some lines of thought run parallel. The first thing I would like to address, if we operate from the assumption that FUD was created with intention to drag down prices, we also have to acknowledge that this kind of article could be the antithesis of FUD with intentions of the opposite effect. The second is that, by observation, it seems that price drag / accumulation / and other forms of this cartel concept seem fairly logical and appear to be regularly used. The forces at play seem to lean in favor of drag, based on my observations. However, the results don't necessarily prove that these things are the cause. Ultimately, we can account for all of these factors and try to guess what has happened and what is going to happen, but at the end of the day I believe what will prevail is the underlying value in what is behind the investment. Hopefully that makes sense. Relating that to DNotes, it doesn't matter what has or will happen, what matters is will it become an unstoppable force. My answer is, without a doubt... Due to the underlying strategy, the people behind it and supporting it, the drive and determination to create something amazing and for the right reasons. I hope that helps you to come the conclusions you were looking for. This is a very well written and balanced view of the possibilities raised in the linked article. It's so good, in fact, that I suggest it could be expanded into an opinion piece for DCEBrief with plenty of support from examples of your observations. And I agree with the main point, which is that the way to overcome even the *possibility* of a cartel is you develop a product that is so good and so solid and so well received that the sheer volume of people using it normally is enough to overcome any kind of monkey business. The main reason it's so easy to manipulate cryptocurrency prices is because so far they are still mostly a speculative vehicle. Once they become more than that and used as a part of everyday financial life, then any cartel would *also* have to manipulate all the decisions of ordinary people all over the world to buy and use them. So, even if everything in that cartel article is true (and I concede that possibility), the way to overcome it is not to try to learn *their* strategy and try to make countermoves. It is to develop a product that just by being an awesome product will render that sort of control impossible. Thankfully DNotes is already 5 years into this journey. Appreciate it wiser! DNotes path to becoming an unstoppable force and the implications of that would make for a great article. Probably not as much focus on individual market manipulation theories, but acknowledging the consequences of market manipulation and its tendency to bring the markets down. Then mention why we believe having a model where the company, as a party with significant self interest in the currency and its ecosystem, is essential in making DNotes an unstoppable force. Could be a tough article, but may be worth it. That's exactly how I'd angle it. Though it may need some mention you absolutely don't want to focus on the negative (cartels, market manipulation, etc.) even if all of it and more is true. I've found that even when true, focusing on the negative is actually very destructive to one's own aims. Far better to focus on our overall goals with DNotes and let those stand on their own. I think it's a great idea! Tim is probably a good candidate with his economics background, may get him involved as well. |

I spoke too soon. Bittrex canceled a bunch of my unfulfilled orders today and the bot is not replacing them, so there seems to be something that overrides the bot order replacement activity. It's frustrating. The canceled orders are around 28 days old and hadn't filled during that time.

Here's a little quirk I noticed in how the trading bot is interacting with Bittrex. So I created a ridiculous sell order (2 DMD for 1 BTC each) to use as a placeholder. I used the bot to place this order and had an equally ridiculous buy order (since you need a pair). I created that order on February 2nd, and I discovered yesterday that Bittrex had canceled the order and rendered those two DMD available. But the way I discovered it was that I was looking at my fulfilled orders on the bot program and it was showing that particular sell order as a fulfilled order. Then when I went to check it on Bittrex, I discovered it was canceled on their end. It turns out that same order is also listed in the canceled orders section of the bot program. But anyway, I thought it was a bit troubling that it would show up as a fulfilled order when it was indeed canceled.
But the other issue is that even though 28 days hadn't gone by, and the bot is supposed to automatically replace orders every two weeks, Bittrex still found that particular order and canceled it. I'm guessing Bittrex also has an algorithm that hunts down and kills orders that are placed totally out of the normal price range, but not sure exactly how that works. The only reason I had placed that order was as a placeholder--I sometimes do that as a crude way to keep funds separate, as well as to maintain a small balance of coins I use a lot so they'll always be visible in my Bittrex wallets even when I have "hide zero balances" checked. For the most part this won't affect my normal automated trading, but thought that would be something you should be aware of. I do have standing orders that are substantially above or below the current market price because I expect the market to move around and want to be ready with my bots when it does. I'm really hoping that the replacing the orders every two weeks will keep those orders alive on Bittrex for as long as I want them there.
Oh, you had the bot create the orders hoping the bot would keep the order alive regardless of the bittrex rule to cancel orders that have remained unfulfilled for more than 28 days? Then I guess bittrex didn't like the order, because it wasn't close enough to a real trading range and canceled it anyway? That part seems strange, I can't find any documentation that they would do that or what the exact parameters would be. Sorry for the delayed reply. |

Good job on the article Tim! There are certainly opportunities within the realm of decentralization of assets which have some properties that would open investing up to more people to participate. We have to realistically recognize that there are legal restrictions created to protect people from these high risk investments. Some of the key benefits of blockchain in relation to decentralization of assets are in efficiencies of distribution, trading, and even in tracking and verification processes that have not yet come to fruition. For example, investing a restricted amount would likely be permitted by law if it were to a blockchain verified individual that automation could keep track of the transactions one day. In this scenario a regular consumer would have the opportunity to invest in something like facebook at the earliest stage. It would also be much more attractive to a company to open up to consumer investors as the platform could be much more automated with much less overhead. |

When does DNotes go to the moon? So far has not moved.  Space travel isn't our top priority at this time.  However, we do consider DNotes to be significantly undervalued. We are consistently growing our ecosystem and network of influence, it is only a matter of time before I believe we will get closer to that fair market value. |
