Thank you, Amadeus82. We are indeed looking forward to a lot of good things happening in the coming weeks.

Thanks, RJF. Those are exceptional beauties and will represent DNotes and DNotes Global well. More than 50% of the population loves gorgeous flowers. To gain mass adoption, DNotes must appeal to every segment of the society to be that inclusive trusted digital currency.

It has been a very wet Spring at the farm. There have already been incidents of vehicles stuck in the mud.

Quote from DNotes Telegram Today:

We are hopeful that Stocks Exchange:  https://stocks.exchange/ and Mercatox Exchange:  https://mercatox.com/ would be listing DNotes as early as next week. We now only make an official announcement after DNotes is listed. There are a few more that we are working on. Before long DNotes will be listed on quite a few small to mid-sized exchanges.

Unfortunately, this is going to be a demanding summer for me, with four international visitors, who will be spending two months with us at the farm and cross country travel.

I hope that in 2019 we can plan something special for DNotes. The place is stunning. 70 acres of flowers including two very special ones I created and named "DNotes" and DNotes Global: https://smokeysgardens.com/gallery.php?kw=DNotes 

RJF, thank you for your objective assessment of DNotes and our industry. Come to think about you are one of the few who have (almost) seen it all since the initial stages of our industry and the birth of DNotes over four years ago. You are also one of the very few who have been to Smokeys Gardens and met with the founding team. Here is a little surprise for you to check out: (No official announcement yet – waiting for the most appropriate time.)  https://smokeysgardens.com/gallery.php?kw=DNotes

Thank you, Shane and wiser.

This is what I can share with you regarding a price target for DNotes over the medium term. The truth is that no one knows for sure. Short of that, the most objective guidance is pick a range that one is most comfortable with, in our case, CoinMarketCap 50 to 100. Based on everything that I know about our industry and DNotes, somewhere within that range is where DNotes belongs to be fairly valued relative to our industry peers.

Beyond that it is the market forces, supply and demand, options and choices that determine the price. However, in our unregulated industry it is quite clear that those factors are often manipulated, leading to wild fluctuation of prices. High volatilities and price manipulation are diminishing the chances of mass adoption of cryptocurrency as a form of payment.

Consistent with our vision and mindset since day one, we are very focused in identifying problems and pitfalls and work hard to solve those problems while avoiding potential pitfalls. Over the long-term this will put DNotes in a different class. That is when the DNotes difference will finally payoff.

Thank you for asking, Amadeus82.

We are at the final stages of legal documentation and preparation of our Reg. D 506 (c) PPM (Private Placement Memorandum). Ziliak Law, LLC in Chicago, IL completed the final draft copy yesterday and it has just been transferred to Reg D Resources in Denver, CO. It is now in the process of being converted to a presentation grade PPM. Meanwhile, a compliance web portal is being developed to accommodate this specific project. Conservatively, we should be ready to file with the SEC towards the end of June.

We are spending more time and money on this project than normal. This is because we want to have a good start in transition to our main funding round using Reg. A+ Mini-IPO to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide. It will be heavily promoted. That is the time we want to put DNotes Global on the world map, so to speak.

Please understand that our first round, Reg. D 506 (c) is an exempt offering only available to verified accredited investors. There is an approval process incorporated into our web portal to limit access to only accredited investors.

Thanks, wiser.

This is a significant development. I just want our community to be familiar with it.


OTC Markets Welcomes Expansion of Reg A+ Exemption to Reporting Companies

May 30, 2018 @ 8:53 am By JD Alois

Buried within the “Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act” that was signed into law last week, was an expansion of Regulation A or Reg + that it is popularly called. The securities exemption is now available to not just private companies but also for “reporting” companies that trade on an exchange or ATS. Reg A+, one of the three crowdfunding exemptions created by the JOBS Act of 2012, enables issuers to raise up to $50 million in a mini-IPO type structure. Both accredited and non-accredited investors may participate in a Reg A+ offer. OTC Markets, perhaps the biggest proponent to expand Reg A+ to companies that are publicly traded, has applauded the expansion of the law – calling it a “pivotal milestone for smaller companies and issuers.” OTC Markets may see listed companies that trade on its marketplace now take advantage of the law.

“We are pleased to see the culmination of our advocacy to extend the benefits of Regulation A+ eligibility to SEC reporting companies,” said Cromwell Coulson, CEO and President of OTC Markets Group. “This key change will be instrumental in leveraging technology to fuel small company capital formation and increase the number of public companies that can efficiently access our capital markets.”

The update to Reg A+, that was originally a stand alone bill “Improving Access to Capital Act,” was a bipartisan initiative that was sponsored by Representative Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). The legislation originally passed the House of Representatives in September 2017 in a lopsided vote of 404 to 3.

Reg A+ has experienced mixed results since its creation as platforms and issuers have experimented as to how best utilize the law. By broadening the pool of potential issuers, Reg A+ may gain additional footing as a path to raise additional funds for smaller companies.

Unfortunately, never again with Cryptopia is correct.

Bittrex is still on our active list and they have yet to name a price.

Thank, you for the feedback, MiningHabbit. I like them too. We are in active discussion with them. Hopefully, we can reach a deal with them soon.

It’s an honor to be on the Cover Story of The Smart Manager – one of the leading business publications.

COVER STORY

Why do negotiations fail?

A cursory glance at any daily publication throws up news of umpteen ‘negotiations’ going on in the social, geopolitical, and business spheres. But not many lead to positive results for either player because often people plunge into it without exercising any degree of pragmatism. Poor ground work, abysmal levels of trust, and sometimes even ego stand in the way of engineering the best outcome.

As always, thank you, wiser, for your support. We will continue to pursue every exchange possible including these two established exchanges:

https://mercatox.com
https://www.coinexchange.io

They are worth checking into. We are proposing a listing/promotion arrangement with them.

RJF, it is most unfortunate and ironic that the coin that is so committed to and promotes trust, integrity, high ethical standard is penalized by an institution that values the same.

Quote from DNotes Telegram:

Shane, we have been pursuing a few larger exchanges for the listing of DNotes with formal applications using their process. Unfortunately, they are taking their time or for the most part not responsive.

At this point, our best bet is to work with smaller exchanges. Once listed we will work with CoinMarketcap to ensure that DNotes trading activities and market value are reflected.

We are working aggressively with Mercatox and CoinExchange. They are established exchanges with decent volume and traffic. We believe that one or both will agree to list DNotes 2.0 soon. I will announce a date as soon as we know.
https://mercatox.com
https://www.coinexchange.io

We are currently listed on:
https://www.nlexch.com/markets/notebtc
https://bitebtc.com/trade/note_btc

We are actively working with and in active communication:
https://www.coinexchange.io
https://mercatox.com
These two exchanges are established and currently trading. We are hoping to reach an agreement soon so that DNotes can be listed shortly.

Beta or Future Exchanges we are working with:
https://www.cryptaldash.com/
https://www.listex.io/
https://blockbid.io/
https://shardax.com/

Cryptopia Exchange Update:

“It has been determined that we are unable to list DNotes 2.0 on Cryptopia. This is because the DNotes project has been determined a Financial Product under NZ law.”

“Cryptopia is registered as a Financial Service Provider in New Zealand. This registration only allows us to list coins that are not 'Financial Products' on our exchange.”

It is ironic that while Cryptopia claimed to respect legal and ethical standard and considered “Generally, pure currencies like BTC or LTC are OK, as are 'utility tokens' for listing”, but held DNotes held to a different standard. It is most disappointing. Unfortunately, the “Golden Rule” once again applied.

I knew going in, over four years ago, that this industry is messed up, confused, with little regard for the rule of law, exploitative, and loaded with inaccurate reporting. We have been making many sacrifices to help change that because we strongly believe that an inclusive trusted digital currency that respect the rule of law will give DNotes the best chances of gaining mass adoption worldwide.

Our position has not changed. We are mindful that it is significantly easier to go with the flow than to go against it. But that is not what DNotes is about. We believe in doing what is right and legal to the mutual benefits of everyone. We are relentlessly committed to our long term vision of mass adoption, solving many industry problems along the way.

Thank you for sharing, Sam. This should not come as a surprise as the legal concept in consumer protection is quite similar worldwide.

 Since I have not received a response to my most recent request for update, it is best that I hold back further comments.

I am expecting the next communication within the next day or so and will update our community immediately once I heard from Cryptropia.

It’s Memorial Day and a long weekend in the USA. I will only be checking in, with short posts if necessary. A short break is always good for everyone.

To all our friends and supporters in the USA and abroad:

 Happy Memorial Day!
