Good day,
I read many info about China and btc fall in this thread, but what about concrete date and Dnotes2?
if such interesting news are ready for sharing, I think low volume and low support on polo say about need new news


Hi sl-avik, we plan to update the community next week.

Ok, I will waiting it

I see you have great community and support, but for russian users we have not any resources
please share such links if it exist
I think it will very usefull for Dnotes share info and  make group in vk social also



Yes, you are correct, we do not have a regular resource for updates for the Russian users. It would be helpful to understand which platforms would be suitable. Would vk be the most viable social media platform?

This says a lot about the great banker who called bitcoin a fraud:

https://news.bitcoin.com/after-the-boss-calls-bitcoin-a-fraud-jp-morgan-buys-the-dip/

So never believe such news and get all FUDed over it .

After all, he did tell us that his daughter also bought into bitcoin and guess he and his team(s) have also big and deep pockets for the coin.

Thanks SCeeYong, it's difficult today to know what to believe and what not to believe or what has hidden intention behind it. This is one of the reasons we felt DCEBrief was a necessary part of our ecosystem, a trusted source of information and facts. When we have the resources to perform deep analysis and investigation on cases such as this, we will be able to dig deeply into cases such as this and report further on the facts.

NE Lawyers Advisory Committee: Attorneys May Accept Bitcoin

https://dcebrief.com/ne-lawyers-advisory-committee-attorneys-may-accept-bitcoin/

Excellent. It seems as we need defined procedures for the escrow and trust to ensure it can be handled properly. Hardware wallets that generate their own random seed may be a good option as well.

This is a sad day for our industry. There will be significant "weeding out" with many suffering significant losses. This is a major correction and will take time to digest.

It is most prudent to take a step back and let the dusk settle. No one can stop the industry from moving forward. My greatest fear is that it could lead to over-regulation that will stiflel innovations.

China's Bitcoin Exchanges Receive Shutdown Orders and Closure Timeline
Coindesk:
Sep 15, 2017 at 11:28 UTC by Tian Chuan & Rachel-Rose O'Leary
https://www.coindesk.com/document-lists-closure-steps-for-chinas-bitcoin-exchanges/



I think this is a perfect example of how NOT to protect your citizens. Instead of implementing reasonable regulations for the exchanges so the customer is protected, they are forcing these people to use one of the hundreds of shady exchanges that will be popping up in other countries looking to cash in on the Chinese government's blunder.

I can't remember exactly, but I believe over 90% of bitcoin's volume is from China, and I'm assuming any of the other high-volume coins are likely similar. It is going to be very painful for everyone, but especially them. I am very thankful that DNotes did not rush to get listed in China.

Question of the day (that we all know the answer to):  Why is it the Chinese government has no problem creating a global bitcoin mining monopoly, but refuses to let its citizens benefit from cryptocurrency?


Huge step backward, but still confident and committed to the future of digital currency.

I've suspected the claims of China's BTC volume being overstated, there are a couple articles out there on it too. Of course, volume at exchanges could be overstated as well. As far as I can tell, the largest exchanges are predominantly getting their traffic from the US and these exchanges seem to have more traffic than the predominantly Chinese exchanges.

The majority of the volume is in USD here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

Most of the top exchanges traffic is predominantly from the US looking at both exchanges from coinmarketcap and  https://data.bitcoinity.org/markets/volume/30d?c=e&t=b

Some of the largest Chinese exchanges are OKCoin Houbi BTCChina
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/btcchina.com#trafficstats
21,000
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/okcoin.cn#trafficstats
6,400
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/huobi.com#trafficstats
9,700

Some of the highest volume exchanges bitfinex bitstamp and GDax/Coinbase
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitfinex.com#trafficstats
3,400 - Predominantly US
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitstamp.net#trafficstats
6,600 - Predominantly US
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gdax.com#trafficstats
4,000 - Predominantly US
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/coinbase.com#trafficstats
600 - Predominantly US

PS the lower the number, the more traffic.

This particular data paints a very different picture, though not the whole picture I'm sure. This is about the same as when I first looked into that claim as well.

What could be the potential implications of decentralized governance applied in a political setting?

Off the top of my head: There is no perfect solution to governance that I can tell. I see governance as more of a tug of war where differing opinions cannot go too far one way or the other, to have the largest benefit to the most people. Thus the need for rules and governance and things like the bill of rights and the constitution, the three branches of government and so on. The question to me is how can it be applied to what exactly. Could it be utilized to allow people to give more input and help leadership make decisions? Could it be used to afford people leadership without political control, more like the DNotes model we are working on?

Bank of Finland Economists: “Revolutionary” Bitcoin “Cannot be Regulated”

Great article. Though we believe in reasonable regulation, that is for those providing services utilizing the currency, and not of the currency itself.

Hey team.

Been working with a designer who is helping us with some website development to coincide with the upcoming DNotes 2.0 release. As you may already be aware, Joe updated www.dnotescoin.com a couple months ago. This time we have redesigned dnotesvault.com. To begin, we will implement the following as the new landing page, with the logged in account section to be updated in the near future once we finalize and complete testing 2.0. With this design, I aimed to keep communication simple and to the point for a 'clean' design.

Feel free to share your thoughts.





That wasn't much fun. Normally I find lots more mistakes when getting picky about writing and grammar. Anyway, you left me a little bit to comment on so here it is:

Our Cryptocurrency Saving Plan (CRISP) rewards savers with interest directly from the DNotes blockchains's reward structure on all deposits held at DNotes Vault for 30 Days or more.

This sentence is two long and has multiple concepts. Maybe consider:

Our Cryptocurrency Saving Plan (CRISP) rewards savers with interest on all deposits held at DNotes Vault for 30 Days or more. The interest is generated through the DNotes blockchain reward structure.

I also favour "held in DNotes Vault".


I would change, "DNotes Vault is a property of"

to:

"DNotes Vault is the property of"

just to make it clear that it is a possession and not a quality.

All in all, great work and I think that clarity is certainly the way to go. Many customers won't have English as a first language, but good enough to not need to translate or obtain a localised version. So your simple language is demonstrating DNotes' claim that it is for everyone. Well done.




Thanks TimMarsh, TeeGee spent a good deal of time refining and simplifying the DNotesVault message while keeping all the important information intact. I'm glad to see you were able to point that out in your remarks.
1590  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: DNotes 2.0 - Bridging the Gap Between the Centralized and Decentralized World on: September 11, 2017, 10:22:10 PM

Oh sorry, we have just upgraded that site a couple months ago as well as our logo. So we should be good there for a while.

http://dnotescoin.com/


Ok. I think you should do at least a couple of tweaks on the main-page as well. Some things are good, and some things not. I´ll list a few things I think you should change (I´ll make references to the new Vault-page):

Page 1:
- Top line. I like the black on Vault-page better. Also add icons for all of your social meeting points.
- Second line. "Home - Introduction - Download - Blog - Contact Us" should be in black and capital letters, as on Vault-page.
- Main window. The shadow effect on the text was popular a couple of years ago. I would take it away and make it cleaner/more modern.

Page 2 (Welcome to DNotes):
- This page is not good imo. Looks messy. Needs better arranging.
- If you´re putting a video on the page like you´ve done now, I would instead use a clear high-res picture to click on to open a new window with the video, preferably in full-screen mode. Looks much better.

Page 3 (Developing the future..):
- Good.

Page 4 (What are DNotes):
- Good.

Page 5 (The latest updates):
- Looks a bit messy and unorganized.
- Too large text under the videos.
- The pictures are too low-res. I would suggest the same here as I did on page 2.

Page 6 (As seen on):
- The background is a bit annoying.
- Logos in grey would be better.

Page 7 (News):
- Good setup, but again not good with the low-res pictures.

Page 8 (Posts):
- Same as page 7.

Page 9 (Behind the scene):
- "The team that makes this machine go" Could be changed Smiley
- New pictures needed! Same background color. If it´s not possible to do new pictures, I would convert the current into black and white.

Page 10 (Download):
- It says:
DOWNLOA
D

Page 11 (Contact):
- Good.

Page 12:
- Move "Copyright..." to the bottom row. Take away twitter and facebook icons.


I haven´t covered all the different font-sizes and fonts being used, but this makes the page look a bit untidy. Since you have a designer working for you I would suggest he/she also do a makeover on the main-page. Just my 2c.

Good luck.













Thanks kryptomani! Appreciate the detailed review, that is a great help. I will go over these later in the week or this weekend.

I mean, will there be a redesign also on www.dnotescoin?

Thanks Tim! Here is the link so you can zoom and see the details:

https://dcebrief.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Dnotes-1-Page-Layout-V5.jpg



Great job Tim, the site looks fantastic!

DNotes Vault is the perfect place for DNotes holders to earn up to 8% a year (after the launch of DNotes 2.0).

Quote from Dyna: "There are three different rewards amounting to about 8% per year: a) 2% for account balance paid every 30 days, b) 4% for account balance paid every 365 days, and 2% staking reward for participating stakeholders. Once fully implemented, DNotes will be very attractive for long-term savers and ideal for what CRISPs are meant to accomplish. We intent to heavily promote long-term savings for retirement, education, and other needs."
Hi everyone! Awesome work! Cant wait to see dnotes 2.0 released.. i thought i may jump in here and say when dyna says, "a) 2% for account balance paid every 30 days" to clarify i believe he means to say up to 2 percent acrued average a year but is compounded on a monthly basis. It sounds like its 2 percent a month so i just wanted to clairfy for new people jumping in. Delete this if im wrong/misunderstanding. Thanks guys keep up the excellent work!

Edit: i guess if ur adding up to 8 percent a year it makes since. Just trying to avoid confusion


Yep, that is correct. It's a recent change, as well as a change in the way it will be paid and structured.

Staking target is 2% per year. On an individual basis, depending on how many people are staking, that could be higher or lower.

For coins that have been in a wallet for 30 days you will receive .166% as part of the CRISP program, delivered directly from the blockchain. After compounding is factored in, it will be slightly over 2% yearly.

For coins that have been in a wallet for 365 days you will receive 4% as part of the CRISP program, delivered directly from the blockchain.

So your total percent per year can be around 8%.

We have done a lot of research and had much discussion around how much CRISP should be and how it should be distributed. Ultimately deciding on the higher number. The key factor in that decision is how coins are distributed. In PoW one group gets all of the blockchain distribution, everyone else who holds the coin experiences an increase in supply while their own supply remains the same, this puts them constantly at risk of potential decrease in the value of their coins. With this CRISP based distribution, everyone experiences an increase in supply, but their stake goes up proportionally to the total supply. Giving that the people who are receiving the coins are likely to be trying to accumulate coins, it is much less likely to be at risk of decreasing value, while acquiring more coins in the process.

If you don't participate in staking however, you are at risk of not making the full potential value, or the 2% for staking.

Russia Reportedly Making Plans to Subsidize Domestic Crypto Mining

https://dcebrief.com/russia-reportedly-making-plans-to-subsidize-domestic-crypto-mining/

God I wish I could trust Russia but, I can't. Any plans from Russia regarding crypto will benefit the government and not the people I'm afraid but, that could all backfire if the population moves quickly enough to adopt the technology.

I would be very interested in hearing peoples considered opinions on what is really going on there.


It's been a roller coaster for cryptocurrency there, hard to tell exactly what the plans they have in mind. Off the cuff... If they have an excess of electricity, mining is an opportunity to create wealth that originates in their country. At that level, doesn't seem like a bad idea. Generates new taxable revenue, makes use of apparent under utilized electricity even at a subsidized rate, creates jobs and grows the economy. I'm not seeing the downside, even though it may be hard to believe.

Thank you, RJF and HORT for keeping us in check. Sometime, even with the best of intentions, we all are at risk of over-sight in choosing more appropriate words to convey the same message. DCEBrief is an import part of DNotes’ brand. It pays to be mindful of that to maintain the best balance of reporting news that matter in an unbiased way and attention-grabbing headlines.

Yes, thank you RJF and HORT! DCEBrief is for you guys, the DNotes stakeholders. The success of DCEBrief ultimately will lend to the success of DNotes Global and DNotes. Improving DCEBrief as a media reporting outlet, a partnership and outreach platform, and as a potential source of income will only help us all in the long run.
1599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: DNotes 2.0 - Bridging the Gap Between the Centralized and Decentralized World on: September 08, 2017, 10:41:40 PM
You guys know I'm 110% behind you right? But, this headline in DCEBrief is irresponsible:

"China to Shut Down Crypto Exchanges"

There is no evidence this is true. Chinese exchanges have received no orders or other indications. Even if it happens, as of posting the article, there is no official order at this time. This kind of headline can effect the markets as seen today when the rumor got out. Reuters and Investing are also posting it so you are not alone. Even though all of you later said is was not confirmed in the actual article, and, it may well happen later, at THIS time it's still sensational journalism.

If this has been confirmed since I posted this, please disregard, amazing work!  Grin Grin


I agree, there is no proof behind this. I recommend removing this from DCEBrief. This is fake news. Thank you.

Understand where you are coming from. The title needed a tweak, and although it is unconfirmed, still an important piece reported by many media outlets and may have played a major role in the recent Bitcoin price. Written as an unbiased report of our best interpretation of the facts.

The title was
"Caixin: China to Shut Down Crypto Exchanges"
 merely shorthand for Caixin reported China to Shut Down Crypto Exchanges, not meant to be a sensationalized headline. Now changed to:
"Caixin - Chinese Media Outlet - Reported China to Shut Down Crypto Exchanges Via Unnamed Sources"


Attached is the full story.



We are committed to report the information that everyone needs to know as a cryptocurrency investor and enthusiast. If you feel, with this change included, it is still not inline with what DCEBrief should be reporting, please post your comments so we can continue to refine DCEBrief and it's content.

Hey team, been meaning to ask...are there efforts underway to secure a new exchange relationship? The issues with Polo the other day indicate our exchange situation is a risk factor and was wondering if there were efforts to mitigate our nose being open b/c of reliance on Polo.

Hey MiningHabit, after the launch of DNotes 2.0 and the dust settles a bit we can more actively pursue additional exchanges to get us listed in more places.
