Excellent. Thanks, wiser.

Thank you very much, wiser. You made my day. I was hoping that someone will be doing something like that and you are the best.  DNotes is now at the cross road of leaping to the next level. This is the time when any extra help from our community will make a huge positive difference. We are well aware that at this formative stage there are always inconveniences and room for improvements. Anything our community can help out will be greatly appreciated.

My currently focus is on a number of other projects and issues that are instrumental in taking DNotes to the next level. They are challenging and demanding, but I am totally committed to make things happen. Again it is our practice not to disclosed details until we are certain that they are accomplished over close to it.

We had an awesome meeting with RJF. Great guy. We are very fortunate to have RJF's full support and I am particularly impressed that he totally shares DNotes philosophy of mutual corporation and contribution in building a stable and trustworthy coin for the mutual benefits everyone, even if it means we all have to work harder and wait longer.

We will most likely be signing up for the upcoming Bitcoin Inside Exhibition to be held in Chicago on July 10 to 11, 2015. I am looking forward to meeting you personally, if you can join us.

 

Our original plan called for a fairly conservative build up for the balance of 2015 with a gradual ramp up beginning in early 2016. Based on very positive industry feed back we have been getting, including significant funding prospects, we are evaluating various options that could propel DNotes to be a major player ahead of our projected schedule. 

Brief Update:

The Chicago Bitcoin Meetup went extremely well. I have a good feeling that this will open up a lot of opportunities for DNotes and others. As things develop we will be deciding if DNotes will be switching over to the fast track. From my prospective we are doing significantly better than I had ever imagined. This is made possible because of your support and dedication, something we all should be proud of.

I will be out of town the next couple of days. Please support the forum as much as you can. I will be checking in when I have a chance. Thanks, for your support.

The average consumer may not feel that way. The Bitcoin industry has continued to gain significant momentum, especially in Blockchain related areas. The following article is good news.

Princeton University professor of computer science and public affairs Ed Felten has joined the White House Office of Science and Technology where he will advise President Barack Obama on policy decisions related to technology and innovation.

The appointment is notable for the digital currency industry given Felten's longstanding interest in bitcoin and the digital currency's public ledger, the blockchain.

In addition to writing on the subject, Felten also attended the New York BitLicense hearings held in January 2014 where he presented a moderate view of the technology that stood in contrast to the more aggressive criticism levied by Boston University professor Mark T Williams.

Though his appointment is the sum of his professional accomplishments, Felton may nonetheless play a role as the White House begins to craft policy on financial technologies such as bitcoin.

Felten's appointment as deputy chief technology officer follows a stint with the US Federal Trade Commission that began in 2011

My schedule for this week is the most demanding ever. So don’t expect much participation from me. I am doing everything I possibly can to put DNotes in the best position for rapid growth beginning next year. There are a lot of things taking shape behind the scenes and we are gaining a great deal of admiration, when our industry is struggling to regain its reputation.

Here is my brief response to the question of interest paying accounts. It is important to have a clear investment objective. And don’t get confused on what your priorities are. Decide what is more important for you. Compounded interest accumulation or capital appreciation. High dividend paying stock or high growth stock for long term appreciation.

Here are two examples for reference only based on an assumption of $100 invested for a period of seven years.

$100 invested today at 5% compound interested, at the end of 7 years is worth $141.
Year      5% Interest   End of Year
1   $100    $5.00    $105
2   $105    $5.25    $110
3   $110    $5.51    $116
4   $116    $5.79    $122
5   $122    $6.08    $128
6   $128    $6.38    $134
7   $134    $6.70    $141

$100 invested today at 1 cent per DNotes, if DNotes is worth $1 per DNotes in 7 years:  ($100 x 100) = $10,000. There are no assurances that this could be achievable. This just demonstrates the potential of high returns albeit high risks. I hope this is helpful to put things in prospective.

Food for thought: what carries a high risk? 1) $500 saved in a CRISP savings or 2) No plan to take care of student loan debt. Just decide how to cross that bridge when you get to it.

This is very telling and it is a rather consistent trend. The rich will get richer and those in the upper middle class will do quite well. Unfortunately, majority of the people will continue to struggle. I respect those who are successful and make a lot of money. However, I am very passionate about giving others a chance to gain some financial freedom and I am determined to take DNotes to the next level so that I can get to the top 2% and invite them to join force with us to help millions to rise from poverty. DNotes is not a charity coin but will proudly participate in charity efforts. It is a coin built with trust and integrity. As as stable trustworthy digital currency it can be the most effective tool for the rich to help many in great needs.   

Happy Mother's Day to all our DNotes Moms and all Mothers around the world!!

Grandmama, that is an excellent answer.

Great post Hayley, thanks. I will be at the farm next week to personally meet with an important visitor from our community. I will let him have the honor of filing the report after the meeting.

I have personally worked with Hayley. She is an amazing young lady. I am passionate about helping small business owners, their employees and students, of course. It is unfortunate that so many people worked so hard and barely make ends meet and yet 50% of the wealth is owned by the top 2% of the population. It may take us a while to get through their gate keepers. In the mean time, we will continue to do what we can helping those within our reach to secure a better financial future. Thank you all for your support.

That is a good answer, CryptoBroker79. Developing a sustained good saving habit early is a key to financial independence. Be sure that your investment is secure. Your DNotesVault deposit is not only secure but also comes with 100% deposit guarantee. No one else does that. That is a mark of distinction. Current usage of DNotes is for trading purposes with fair liquidity and as such there are plenty of DNotes in circulation to support the market. By strategic choice, we will only start promoting DNotes as a medium of exchange sometime in 2016.

Knowing your goal is important. Investing in the digital currency space is high risk and should not constitute more than 10% of your funds available for investing. All indications are that more 50% of all coins will fail than succeed. Finding the best in class, and staying with it, is a smart investing discipline. That is how Venture Capital makes the most money. They are also always in it for the long term. To them is around 5 years. DNotes is at the beginning of its second year, and I am absolutely certain that DNotes is the best in class among all other coins that has been around since Feb. 18, 2014 or earlier. If you find a better performing coin or better positioned, I certainly like to know. For that reason, DNotes if way undervalued at 5,000 Satoshi. That, of course, is just my opinion.

RJF, you are absolutely correct. It will take time and a lot of hard work. What DNotes has been able to accomplish in just over a year is astonishing. This will be a great year for DNotes and next year will be even better by a long shot. I have been engaging in passionate discussion with a very broad range of people in our industry including early Bitcoin supporters, editors, authors, economists, VCs. students,  industry peers and many more. We are gaining great admiration and respect. We all need to be proud of that. DNotes is all about trust and integrity and our commitment to contribute and share with all interested parties for the mutual benefits of everyone. If money is for everyone, then DNotes should be for everyone too.

Hi kold678. Very nice to see you. Certainly, your daughter is qualified to sign up as a student. This is a great time to sign up, even though it is still in pilot stage. That is our way of building a solid foundation. We always take our time in launching new projects, fine tune it and focus in a smaller market segment at the beginning. Our initial CRISP For Students targets universities and colleges; in the meantime, students of all ages are welcome.

Our family of CRISPs are designed to accommodate everyone; "from the unborn to the very senior, from the poor to the super rich". DNotes is for everyone and not just the privileged few. We believe that this philosophy is instrumental for mass acceptance of digital currency. This will take a long time but we want DNotes to be on the right path so that everyone can benefit.

We are working very hard to position DNotes for rapid growth starting next year. A great deal of work is done behind the scene, and I have been getting excellent feedback everyday from new contacts around the world who are quite amazed how much DNotes has accomplished while most of the other coins have been struggling.

Quote From TeeGee:

A very impressive amount of attention has been given to this, including alternative write ups.

I love the show garden - I guess they don't get picked for sale, or if they do, maybe at the end of the season.

It would be really cool if you had a daylilly that was dark blue on the outer leaf, and light blue on the inner - name that one DNote's flower Smiley.

Dyna:

TeeGee, thousands of hybridizers have tried but no one has succeeded in creating a blue or dark blue daylily yet. I will pay you $5,000 for your first plant if you can do it. Here are three of my creations that could be named "DNotes" There are many more choices though.

Very well said. A lot of times, it is not how much start-up capital you have, or how many people in your team, but how passionate you are and how well you can work as a team. Common people under good leadership with great strategic plans and directions can lead to the achievement of uncommon goals. What DNotes has accomplished in a very challenging industry in just over a year with a dedicated a community is quite astonishing. It is historic. And this is only the beginning.

Smokeys Daylily Gardens is a success story worth telling one day when I have more time. It is a very typical case of small business owners wanting to be successful for themselves, for their family, and their employees, but many have continued to struggle in vain despite their never ending hard work and scarify. With mounting regulations and rising cost it is becoming increasing more difficult and challenging for small business owners across America to succeed. Small businesses are the engine of job creation and often, character building. A little help and guidance can go a long way. I am proud to have the opportunity to give Smokeys Daylily Gardens a helping hand and some strategic directions as a management consultant and a friend. I am delighted that they are doing so well these days.

Peak bloom of daylilies is typically between June 15 to July 15 in the Midwest , depending on the weather. It is stunning. Smokeys has over 3,000 cultivars that are commercially available, depending on inventory levels. We have created over 5,000 new cultivars ourselves that could be registered and named as “DNotes” “CryptoMoms” and others. It may even be fun to have a naming competition one day. New daylilies, at introduction, are sold between $100 to $500 for a single plant. They are gorgeous. It will be nice if we can share some beautiful pictures with you.

Great news but very demanding and challenging. We will be looking into it.

 “While some see Bitcoin as alluring for its potential to operate outside this system, we see it differently,” Mr. Cascarilla said in a blog post on Thursday morning. “We believe Bitcoin and blockchain technology have immense potential within the system — to help make it more efficient, to offer new solutions and to bring us all into the future.”

I totally agree with Mr. Cascarilla statement that there is "immense potential within the system".

Great news coming. Smokeys Daylily Gardens with be the first merchant to accepted DNotes as payment for any daylily purchases. Major announce for immediate release.

The world we live in has always been changing. The speed of change is ever increasing. Regulations are falling further and further behind in keeping up with technologies. Perhaps our next generation of elected  leaders must pledge to keep up with the speed of change. This article is a must read.

Why I'm Excited for Medium's Partnership Wit Creative Commons

When the Net was born, its code was its norms. Its architecture enabled sharing. Its users shared wildly.
Many celebrated this freedom. Some fought it fiercely. Shared creativity was also copyrighted creativity. And under the rules of copyright, to share is to require the permission of the copyright owner — unless (in America at least) that sharing is “fair use.”

When this battle first exploded, it presented itself in binary terms. People were, the story went, either for copyright, or against it. And if you were for “sharing,” that meant you were against copyright. The norms of the net, it followed for many, had to be changed if the rules of copyright were to be respected.

But many of us recognized then something that’s pretty obvious in retrospect now: that there are many who respect copyright, but who want to encourage people to share their work. And what the Net did not give those creators was a simple way to say that and make it stick. The law presumptively said no; we needed an easy way for creators to say yes.

Hence Creative Commons: a simple way to mark creativity with the freedom the author intends it to carry. Coders (Aaron Swartz was the first) crafted its technical architecture, lawyers (beginning with copyright experts at Cooley) drafted its legal architecture, and an incredible team of design geeks and entrepreneurs (including Matt Haughey of Metafilter and Glenn Brown, now at Twitter) built a simple and beautiful interface to enable people to mark their creativity with the freedoms they wanted for their work, as distinct from the restrictions the law otherwise imposed. In the middle of a war between “All rights reserved” and “No rights respected,” we raised a flag of “Some Rights Reserved,” with the balance given over to the public for free.

Millions of works now live under this banner. On Flickr there are nearly a billion images licensed “Some Rights Reserved.” Both Google and Bing now enable people to search on the basis of the freedom to reuse. Almost all of the freely licensed scholarship in the world today is Creative Commons licensed. YouTube and Vimeo give creators the freedom to mark their work with freedom. Wikipedia protects its community of authors with a Creative Commons license that assures its collaborators that their collaboration will be free to all.

Today Medium gives their creators the choice to join this community4freedom. To anyone who knows Medium (and the innovators behind its birth), this is not a surprise. Medium has captured something powerful about the way creativity in today’s web can be shared. And by embracing Creative Commons licenses, it stakes its commitment to the idea that it is the authors who should be able to choose just how freely they want their work to be shared. Medium thereby marks itself as not yet another island of creativity on the Net, but as a platform that encourages people to create and share across the many islands that the Internet has become. That encouragement will help keep the Net as it was born: a platform that encourages sharing, now with the simple ability for authors to say, “Of course, share this too.”

Hi TeeGee. I wish I have more time to respond to your post but you made such an excellent point about a focused strategy of generating significant adoption in the US and Canada, and the rest of the world will follow. From a winning strategy standpoint that is exactly correct. Blanketing Chicago to get the country to participate is based on the same principle. We are also reactively building grass root groups around the world. What it means is that I response to every inquiry that comes in with my best efforts without proactively seeking them out. DNotes is a well deserved case study. We are loaded with the best winning strategies and the execution of them at their best. That is precisely why we are so confident that DNotes will be very successful.

Those of you on my distribution received an email from me today. That is a true sample of many email replies I have been sending all day long. These are real efforts in positioning DNotes for rapid growth.
