Thank you, Potapo. Your point is well taken. And you are correct.

The DNotes team has been working very hard over the last 4 ½ and provided so much information that it is overwhelming and at times, repetitive. While challenging for those new to DNotes, it is essential and very helpful for those professional investors who want to do very deep research on us before investing.

As expected, that is now becoming an asset as I work with serious investors, dealer brokers, and fund managers. Some may be assigning analysts to do deep research on us before making any recommendations to their clients. This applies to both DNotes and DNotes Global.

An analyst can easily spend a week and not cover more than 50% of the researchable materials available.

Here are my recommendations to get a quick bird’s-eye view:

++ A whole lot more if you want to keep going.

But then - want to be an inclusive trusted digital currency on a global scale to supplement fiat currency  ..  It is an immensely complex and massive task. We may be the only team committed to that challenge. How much could DNotes and DNotes Global be worth one day? Your guess as as good as mine. But I see this as a generational opportunity not to be missed. And I am eternally grateful to have your support and feel highly privileged to share my knowledge and experience.

[In reply to Tim Gogginnz]
That’s very exciting and thanks for the link to the press release. Will there be updates on the progress (for example - current running total for amounts raised?)

Tim Gogginnz, [12.07.18 12:00]
Once we hit certain thresholds I imagine we will let the community know.

Alan Yong, [12.07.18 12:20]
I will provide updates at the appropriate time. It typically takes a lot of ground-work and "hand-holding".  I do not want to build up false expectation or get ahead of "potential".  Be patience. This could take a few months of highly focused efforts.

That is correct, Tim. As I have mentioned many times in the past, to gain mass adoption majority of the transaction must be between two parties without the control of any central authority or middleman, at nearly zero cost.  

That coin or coins must also solve a whole array of problems including inclusiveness, trust, security, usefulness, currency stability, liquidity, in compliance with existing laws and more.

DNotes Global is committed to providing the leadership and management to assist DNotes in gaining mass adoption. It will not happen overnight, but our path is very well defined. We will continue to deliver solutions.  

However, we are confident that the coin that gain mass adoption will be quite valuable. Meanwhile, our focus is to build stakeholder value and let the price of DNotes take care of itself.

Our industry has been making a lot promises, but for the most part just that - “promises”, “wishful thinking”, and “cure-all snake oil”. Billions of dollars have been raised with the claim to disrupt the current banking and financial service systems. We had wanted to reduce their dominance, abusive practices, and high fees. We had wanted to reach out to the 2.2 unbanked or underserved by the global banking and financial network.

Ironically, we have not done any better. We might have done worse – less trustworthy, more manipulative, and taking advantages of unsuspecting small investors; namely many ICO scamps that never had any real projects.

We had wanted to use the ingenious blockchain technology to allow for micro-payment between two parties without the participation of any middle man resulting in instantaneous payment confirmation at near zero fees.

For DNotes to gain mass adoption as an inclusive trusted digital currency we must remained focused in solving many challenges confronting our industry. Solutions to those problems will result in substantial opportunities for DNotes to be differentiated and grow at a rapid pace.

Solving the of micro-payment problem is very significant. It has world-changing implications with broad ranging applications from commercial to charity. That is also one of our “inclusive” strategies. No one shall be left behind when a transaction or donation of $0.10 is a commercially viable transaction from anyone worldwide. That is a game-changer.

Thank you Brandon for your post, “ Accept DNotes Cryptocurrency Payments With Your Business in 2 Steps"
by DNotesEDU | Jul 3, 2018”

The world is changing quickly to becoming a single hyper-connected entity as we enter the digital age. Anything that can be digitized will be digitized. Digital currency is the natural progression that started with the emergence of personal computer, wireless communication, and the Internet. Digital currency with its underpinning blockchain technology could have significant positive world-changing implications.

I believe that this is a generation opportunity. It is will be bigger than the Internet resulting in massive job and wealth creation.

For the last 4 ½ years DNotes has been building a purposeful, inclusive, and trusted digital currency with useful and practical applications that are meant to include everyone worldwide. We started out with Cryptomoms to encourage and assist women to participate in the cryptocurrency space and kept expanding our ecosystems to include DNotesVault, CRISP savings account, DCEBrief, DNotesEDU, and a business book “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success.”

We are now all out to make DNotes a technology leader. We are uniquely different and unafraid of doing the right thing the right way. We are utterly patience in letting the true value of DNotes to take care of itself.   To learn more about DNotes be sure to check this out: https://dnotesglobal.com/white-paper/

Thank you all for supporting our DNotes Forum and Telegram. I am delighted to see the level of community engagement with prompt and helpful answers to questions raised. This gives me great comfort to focus on taking DNotes Global to the next level.

The tasks in front of me are massive but that is when I am at my best. Our first round of funding using Reg. D 506 (c) to raise up to $5 million from accredited investors will officially begin next week. There is significant interest, but it will take a lot of relentless hard work. This could take a couple a couple of months before real result can be anticipated.

Once we reached the threshold of $1 million, our law firm will start drafting the filing statements for Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Tier 2 to raise up to $50 from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide. I am committed to see a full-blown IPO three to five years later. That is the path for DNotes Global to become a major international corporation with all the internal capabilities to fulfill a broad array of missions for DNotes to gain mass adoption as an inclusive trusted digital currency in global commerce.
 
DNotes certainly has a great week. But that should not be a surprise. DNotes is still significantly undervalued relative to our industry peers. Frankly, DNotes is ahead of our industry in many respects, including technologies. Nonetheless, we are relentlessly committed to building DNotes as a useful and purposeful digital currency with positive world changing opportunities for everyone to participate. The true value of DNotes will take care of itself.

Thank you, Brandon and Joe.

Another big step forward towards mass adoption of DNotes as an inclusive trusted digital currency in global commerce. We are relentlessly committed to making DNotes useful and purposeful so that everyone worldwide can participate and benefit from our success.

Thanks, DNotesEDU.

Technologies always evolve and often get ahead of regulations. It is even more apparent in the cryptocurrency space, thanks to ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings). Maintaining a delicate balance is crucial to allow for innovations with reasonable consumer protection.   

Hi, wiser. I am sorry to learn about your frustrating experience trying to buy DNotes at Mercatox. Frankly, I had wanted to sign up for an account but did not find the time to do so. Here is one I can not come with an explanation.

I have personally, experienced "odd" tradings at other exchanges, including Poloniex where I purchased the most of my DNotes holding. I purchased ever single DNotes that I own. Sadly I have lost a substantial number of DNotes various exchanges - Crypto Rush, MintPal, Allcoins, and Crypsy that disappeared. I clearly have issues with exchanges in our industry.

Thank you, 1Hakuba for your “deep” thoughts of the day. Your deep understanding of DNotes, and DNotes Global as they relate to the industry, our accomplishment, vision, overall strategies and execution is impressive.

Not many people understand the complexity of the major challenges confronting our industry and viable solutions needed before mass adoption of digital currency in global commerce can materialize. We have known these since day one - 4 ½ years ago that this is a major project of global scope and scale.

Here is quote from my book – “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success”

“The DNotes Story – An Unfolding Big Bold Idea of Global Scale

Introduction:
 
This is the true story of how DNotes founder Alan Yong’s vision, leadership, and winning strategies positioned the organization to best compete in a crowded and chaotic industry at its formative stage. The decentralized, “Wild West” nature of the industry is unforgiving – the lack of regulation, and the inability of centralized authorities to govern the cryptocurrency industry, makes it strategically vital to protect the business against unpredictable market movements. The DNotes story is unique in that a similar situation has not previously existed where so many challenges and uncertainties coincide with a new business startup in a nascent industry.

This chapter will showcase the development and execution of multiple business strategies and principles outlined in this publication. This is the story of a startup that began with a bold global ambition to revolutionize the controversial and well publicized cryptocurrency industry made famous by “Bitcoin”; possibly the greatest technological revolution since the internet.

It has been an exciting and demanding journey. The strategic path incorporated to accomplish our vision of an inclusive trusted digital currency to supplement global fiat currency is spot on. I am glad to have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours to share my thoughts in writing that are available for anyone interested to do deep research on our work. I am immensely grateful to many among our community who tirelessly contributed, shared, and expanded our missions as reflected in our ecosystems and future projects as outlined in our roadmap: https://dnotesglobal.com/white-paper/

Our hard work and relentless commitment to do the right thing, the right way, at the right time is beginning to pay off. DNotes and DNotes Global represented by Tim Goggin and myself will be among a few A-list participants in “Blockchain Super Stars.”

My plate is very full these days. I will continue to do my best to keep you posted on major projects when I have a chance. Thank you all for your continued support.

Hi everyone. Thanks for keeping our community engaged.

Now that our Reg. D 506 (c) funding campaign is about to beginning I barely have time to keep up with some important stuff that I love to do., including posting on Telegram and other social media platforms. DNotes is getting a lot of attention worldwide, based on communication and feedback we are getting every day.

The best way you can contribute to DNotes success is to help keep our community informed and engaged – help to answer any questions when you can.

Those who have technical questions, it is best if you could use DNotes BitcoinTalk forum. That is the best way to reach our developers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1924858.4780

Thank you for your kind comments, Maian. We are very passionate and deeply committed to use digital currency and its underpinning blockchain technology to help change the world a little for the better. This is a generational opportunity for a trusted team to be inclusive of everyone’s participation worldwide so that no one would be left behind, irrespective of their financial standing – poor or rich.

 That is where we draw our inspiration from. It is not just for us but for all of us. We work hard and relentlessly committed to the benefits of everyone.

This is a Big Bold project of global scale and there are many big problems that must be solved before any of the cryptocurrency in our industry can gain mass acceptance. It cannot be accomplished in a short period of time with simplistic and wishful projects for personal gain.

We are mindful that DNotes is a very complex project with many different parts that must involve business and consumers, male and female, the poor and the rich. We believe that ultimately most of the transactions of DNotes will made directly between two parties without the need for any central authority at nearly zero fees and completed almost instantaneously, anywhere worldwide with an Internet connection. 

On the technology side, we focus on developing useful and user-friendly applications that will benefit DNotes users and stakeholders. Uniquely different are DNotesVault, CRISP reward, cold-staking, Dnotes Electrum Wallet, invoice tracking and payment systems to mention a few already successfully launched or in the works. They are all a part of our master plan to build DNotes as the inclusive trusted digital currency to supplement fiat currency in global commerce.

My book, “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success” and the many articles that I have written will serve as our blueprint for business success as well as our foot into the corporate world.

I hope that this provide some insights as to why DNotes is so different from our industry peers and the important roles my book plays.

‘DNotes Will Be Known as the Currency with a Purpose’
JUN 14, 2015
By Raunaq Vaisoha
Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/dnotes-will-be-known-as-the-currency-with-a-purpose

After a life-long fascination with how computing power can be used to solve problems, Alan Yong, founder of DNotes, wanted to add a human element to cryptocurrency.

“DNotes must be built as a digital currency for everyone, irrespective of financial standing — from the poor to the super rich; from the unborn to the most senior. It must deliberately attempt to include and assist women to help close the gender gap.”

— Alan Yong

After being introduced to cryptocurrencies in 2013, and conducting some serious research, Yong went on to found three cryptocurrency-based organizations:

The Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan (CRISP) — A student-centric, self-directed investment plan that utilizes DNotesVault to release 100 DNotes to willing participants, without requiring them to pay for it. The first 200 accounts to register will be awarded 100 DNotes, plus 10 DNotes each month thereafter, until the account reaches 500
CryptoMoms — A dedicated mission to increase women's participation in cryptocurrency
DNotes — An altcoin with a holistic aim
In 1989, Yong founded Dauphin Technology, Inc. and quickly became a well-regarded visionary in the early days of mobile computers. In 1992, his company became the Pentagon's largest supplier of laptop computers after winning a US$395 million contract. The Dauphin DTR, a handheld computer that competed head-on with the Apple Newton, was among their best-known products.

Cointelegraph spoke with Yong to learn more about his most recent projects.

Cointelegraph: What about bitcoin influenced you to create DNotes?

Alan Yong: I feel that the concept of verifiable public ledger for every transaction using ingenious consensus technologies will have world-changing implications, leading to a quantum shift in how we conduct global business, resulting in a large-scale disruption of existing systems, especially in the financial services industry.

“No one has sufficient self-interest to promote and protect Bitcoin, with an over-emphasis that it is a trustless system. [...] How could I hand over my life savings, if no one could be held responsible or would stand by it to give me the confidence that it is in good hands?”

In addition to business, I also have a background in behavioral science and it did not take me long to conclude that the industry has already developed a culture of its own. It is a culture of self-destruction, high stress, and blatant disrespect for other’s properties and human emotion. I had never seen any business that had a chance of survival in that kind of hostile environment. No wonder the male population has dominated it by a ratio of 95 to 5, male to female.

I made one other observation. No one has sufficient self-interest to promote and protect Bitcoin, with an over-emphasis that it is a trustless system. I thought, what is trustless is the transaction between two parties, where it does not require a trusted intermediary.

My goodness, how could I hand over my life savings, if no one could be held responsible or would stand by it to give me the confidence that it is in good hands? To me, it is hard-earned money no matter what you call it; commodity, property, or virtual currency of no intrinsic value. These I believe are the serious problems confronting our industry, keeping it from gaining traction towards mainstream acceptance.

DNotes decided since day one that, to be successful, it must create a new culture. That new culture must be built with trust and integrity, promoting mutual respect and cooperation, collaborating in a highly productive environment, focusing on the accomplishment of long-term mutual benefits.

Starting with a shared-stake concept, DNotes must be built as a digital currency for everyone, irrespective of financial standing — from the poor to the super rich; from the unborn to the most senior. It must deliberately attempt to include and assist women to help close the gender gap.



CT: How is cryptocurrency as a platform helping to solve the student debt crisis? What benefits has it posed over fiat?

AY: Coming from a very poor family, I am passionate about using education as the most effective tool to help others move up the social economic ladder. It bothers me a great deal to take notice of students’ increasing debt burden.

As a society, instead of giving graduating students a head start, we saddled them with a significant student loan payment right off the gate. That is sad. If that was my case, I would not have been able to start my own business after receiving my MBA at Northern Illinois University in 1976, and we would not have DNotes today.

“A small amount invested has the potential to make a big difference. Whereas, using fiat currency as a savings, the true impact is likely to be negative.”

Especially in the case of DNotes, we have positioned our digital currency on a path towards long-term growth for as far as we can project. Since we don’t expect sizable investment by any individual in CRISP For Students, the potential for huge returns is of major significance.

A small amount invested has the potential to make a big difference. Whereas, using fiat currency as a savings, the true impact is likely to be negative, since the potential yield will likely be lower than the loan service. That being the case, it is better to use the extra money to pay down the loan.

One of DNotes future plans is to engage and challenge the top 2% and other wealthy individuals to help solve the increasing student debt crisis. Through our CRISP For Students programs, we are committed to working with students worldwide to develop multiple projects for others to participate in, including scholarship funds. It is important that students take advantage of this and sign up for the savings account, even though it is still in pilot stage.

“CryptoMoms has been very successful by all accounts. In over a year, we have over 7,000 registered members and very active participation.”

CT: What impact has CryptoMoms had on women’s empowerment?

AY: CryptoMoms has been very successful by all accounts. In over a year, we have over 7,000 registered members and very active participation. The content the community has contributed is impressive. It is already a valuable learning center for anyone new to Bitcoin and Bitcoin alternative currencies.

The site is quite definitely well-supported and frequented by women. We basically created a forum with a conducive and supportive environment to empower women to have a space of their own in the cryptocurrency world and let them build it up to their expectation and benefits. No doubt it will pick up momentum over time to be a powerful force and a strong voice for women in the new world of digital currency.

Our industry absolutely needs a drastic increase in women’s participation to gain mass acceptance. They control the purse strings and we respect that. Our CRISP For Kids is actually the contribution of one of our CryptoMoms community members, Chase. It has been well-received and has even attracted some grandparents.

CryptoMoms is also a currency-neutral site where other coins can promote their products and services for free, and a very large number have used that platform. They all have used the service with great respect for everyone and some have been extremely helpful to others. Personally, it is very rewarding for me to see that.



CT: What do you have in mind for the future of DNotes and your other crypto initiatives?

AY: It is estimated that by the year 2020, over five billion smart phones will be in use, and there are 2.5 billion people worldwide today commonly referred to as the unbanked, for not having a bank account or serviced by a bank. I am absolutely convinced that a stable digital currency — with reliable long-term appreciation, in partnership with international charity organizations and the United Nations — will soon have a viable option within our reach.

“DNotes will be known as the currency with a purpose.”

With two simple cell phones, or computers with an Internet connection, one can be set up to send and receive funds and conduct global commerce, thereby solving the problems of the unbanked. This alone has been my inspiration to work long and hard to position DNotes as a large-scale global digital currency that can take full advantage all the superior features of digital currency and blockchain technology.

We envision that within 24 months, we will have a world-class, licensed and regulated exchange trading DNotes, Bitcoin and a couple of other digital currencies. There will be an online global marketplace for students, a second one for small business owners, and a third one for women. They will all be launched on global scale. DNotes will be known as the currency with a purpose, with increasingly broad-based support.

CryptoMoms will be a significant catalyst in attracting women’s participation, with increasing support from professional women. It will become the voice of women around the globe, and a power force hard to ignore.

Umar, [18.06.18 21:54]
[In reply to Alan Yong]
Sadly these two things are very rare to find in crypto industry,but DNotes is an exception,I love the way DNotes team keeps working behind the scenes,in the long run this cryptaldesh issue will be an irrelevant thing.

Alan Yong, [18.06.18 22:36]
[In reply to Umar]
Thanks, Umar. Over the long-term that differentiation is invaluable to DNotes success because trust is invaluable in financial services.

I was quoted saying this in an interview with Cointelegraph in June 2015. Quite telling and not much has changed.

“My goodness, how could I hand over my life savings, if no one could be held responsible or would stand by it to give me the confidence that it is in good hands? To me, it is hard-earned money no matter what you call it; commodity, property, or virtual currency of no intrinsic value. These I believe are the serious problems confronting our industry, keeping it from gaining traction towards mainstream acceptance.”
P.S.
We will start planning on expanding CryptoMoms next month. It will be significantly more inclusive with a lot of great ideas to digest. As usual we will take our time with the best in class mindset.

Wish I have more time to response. But you are correct, wiser, "honestly no outside exchange will be a perfect fit." We can accept some imperfection but must maintain a high level of trust and integrity.  

MiningHabit, ICO can be the greatest tool for capital formation. Unfortunately, it has also been used as the greatest tool to exploit consumer protection.

Brandon, your points are brilliantly stated. I rest my case.

Good to know that you like it.

Once integrated with our Invoice Systems that will set DNotes further apart from the rest.

Good morning everyone. Just here briefly to say hello. My focus now is on our Reg. D 506 (c) funding. We are very close to filing our offering statements with the SEC and our Web Portal is almost ready for launch.

This is the next most significant project I am working on now. It will take a few months and I will be providing updates when appropriate. Please be reminded that this round is specifically for certified accredited investors. Circulation of documents is controlled, and time stamped with different levels of approval process.

I am not hopeful that DNotes will be listed on Cryptaldash as they have announced. Their change of mind to require 100 participants in their ICO is the deal breaker. It’s unfortunate but we do not participate in any ICO that is not registered or exempt with the SEC.
