CryptoMoms 1st Birthday on April 16, 2015.

CryptoMoms was launched about a year ago “as a digital community center with a dedicated mission to encourage and assist women to participate in the emerging world of crypto currency overwhelmingly dominated by men.”

CryptoMoms 1st Birthday is on April 16, 2915. We invite and encourage all of you to make a special effort to help promote CryptoMoms in celebration of its Birthday. We continue with the strong conviction that CryptoMoms is a good cause that will be instrumental in assisting women in various ways. It will also contribute to the success of our industry.

A full press release will be issued on Thursday next week. Please post your comments and any recommendations you may have.


That's easy to remember, Cryptomoms and I share birthday Smiley I will throw this around my FB wall and other social media. Crypto-currency pages on social media have been lacklustre at best at being on-line for communication to promote student CRISP, will have to do it ourselves, or find active pages. I might have to extend my networking to twitter for a wider audience.

With a double birthday, that will make next week an exciting week. Can we all do some research on women focused projects and post something in a positive light?

TeeGee, we can certainly use some help in the Facebook social media area. Our PR team will start testing a Tweeter campaign this week, highlighting CRISP For Students.

The Australian Central Bank is dismissive right now but the article also mentions its willingness to work with international regulatory bodies. This was not a positive article in my opinion.

1. They don't care, Bitcoin just isn't on there radar. This is not a good indicator.

2. They are willing to follow international protocols without considering there own position or the benefits dis-benefits to Australian business. More copying whatever America decides to do.

3. The Australian Reserve Bank and the current Australian government are not on the same page politically or financially right now, this includes Bitcoin.

4. This doesn't change anything regarding Australia's double dip GST tax on Bitcoin.

5. The current Australian government is implementing meta data retntion laws and likely will pass the TPP both of these are indicative of a hostile regulatory view on internet users and internet behaviour. TPP is also problematic in other ways.

Thanks, Ian. Those are great insights. I was not impressed by what they were saying but did not feel that I had objectively researched their position. My suspicion seems be correct that they are really not as supportive of Bitcoin as we have been led to believe.

There is a serious lacking of knowledgeable political leaders around the world with genuine interest to support digital currency. Misleading headlines and inaccurate reporting have certainly not been helpful. These are all damaging to our industry. The shutting down of Buttercoin exchange, despite “A” list investors, including Google, is the first sign of a crack that could lead to further consolidation. Again, taking our time in making slow but strategic moves is even more important than a flash in the pan.

"I think the Australian Central Bank is missing what cryptocurrency will evolve into. I'm not sure how to interpret this though, as I'm not sure how the government / reserve bank structure works in Australia."

As fast as I can type, Kanus:

tl;dr: Australia stands half way between Progressive and Bangladesh:

Glenn Stevens of the Reserve Bank commented positively (at least neutrally) on Bitcoin in 2103. The general tenor of articles on Bitcoin in Australia have been misleading (certainly Coindesk). Australia does not really seek to be a leader in the field. It -- certainly the banks and the Australian Taxation Office -- seeks to strangle the babe in the cradle while making soothing noises.

Our accountant thought I was bein' a bit of a worry wart when I opined -- long before the undoubtedly-intentionally-delayed release of clarifying details by the ATO -- that a hostile regulatory environment would result. When our accountant did finally see the ATO release, he sighed, and admitted I was right.

[Wanna buy a loaf of bread with Bitcoin in Australia? Well, you pay a 10% tax to buy the Bitcoin, and then pay Sales Tax when you buy the loaf.]

Uncertainly of Situation has been a primary tactic. (Teachers call it 'passive-aggressive.') Australian's degree of regulation is already Orwellian. Thus, a business can only assume: bottom line, more paperwork.

Still,  adoption by small businesses in Australia continues apace (we did a huge survey during a project that got collapsed by the incompetence of our national telecommunications provider. It was called 'Cryptomall.com.au').

And in closing, we get free advice from 'our accountant.'

Mark

Thanks a million, Mark. You saved me a lot of time. There are more roadblocks than we care to accept and there is not much we can do about them. Being impatience and wishful can be are biggest enemies. Stay the course, no short cuts. At DNotes we believe that every single step we made is one step closer to accomplishing our mission, and a little more in added value.

The headline of the following article caught my attetion. Unfortunately, I do not have time to research this further and comment on it. There are interesting implications others may want to comment on.


Australian Central Bank: Bitcoin Regulation Not Worth the Cost

Pete Rizzo (@pete_rizzo_) | Published on April 7, 2015 at 20:31 BST
http://www.coindesk.com/australian-central-bank-bitcoin-regulation-not-worth-the-cost/


The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has indicated that it is not in favor of regulating bitcoin and other digital currencies, stating that “any benefits of regulation would outweigh the potential cost”.

The statements, issued on 7th April, are the latest fromAustralia’s central bank, which went so far as to propose that coordinated cross-border regulation is necessary given bitcoin’s potential to disrupt the global remittance industry.

The RBA suggested it could seek cooperation from the Bank for International Settlements, an international organisation of central banks, and its Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI), which includes representatives from Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US.

Overall, the “opening statement” into its inquiry of the technology was neutral toward the development of digital currencies, suggesting there is “nothing to prevent” two parties from engaging in transactions via these channels.

Further, the RBA offered its opinion that digital currencies, if left unregulated, are unlikely to cause significant economic disruptions, writing:
“The bank's judgement is that the current very limited use of digital currencies means that they do not raise any significant concerns with respect to competition, efficiency or risk to the financial system.”
The RBA is currently investigating the subject as part of its Economics References Committee, which examines issues as diverse as tax avoidance and affordable housing.

The central bank first began exploring the subject in a 2013 paper for its Payments Systems Board

While Bitcoin Foundation struggled to get along and Industry Publications seem to have a growing preference for sensational negative headlines, DNotes pushed ahead with the last article published by six more well respected news media. Both Informational Week and EE Times had covered my previous venture, Dauphin Technology, on many occasions.

Bitcoin Alternative DNotes Focuses On Banking Solutions And Stability
While Venture Capital Investment Continues At Record Breaking Pace

Bitcoin high volatilities may have resulted in a slow down in adoption of the currency by large merchants, but venture capital funding continues to pour in at record breaking pace. Meanwhile, DNotes remained as one of the most stable digital currencies with strong focus in providing Banking Solutions and Long Term Appreciation, attracting many new investors

CHICAGO, March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- There is an inherent tendency for promising emerging technologies to be deceptive at the formative stage, especially when perceived to be highly disruptive.According to DNotes Co-Founder Alan Yong, a well regarded pioneer and visionary during the early days of mobile computers, this has clearly been the case with Bitcoin, despite often being described as the greatest technology innovation since the Internet. The Bitcoin space has received a staggering investment of almost $500 million from Venture Capital funding in 2014 alone, followed by over $200 million, so far this year.

Incumbents, who are the most direct targets of the disruption, often discount Bitcoin as a threat because of its explosive volatility and poor track record as a store of value. Bitcoin as a medium of exchange has not gained meaningful traction either. In such an environment, the immensely promising Bitcoin with the potential to be the greatest technology revolution of our generation can be quite deceptive; causing many to look back a few years from now wondering how they could have missed the early promising signs.

DNotes can best be characterized, as a second generation Bitcoin alternative digital currency. It objectively studied Bitcoin's strengths and weaknesses as well as threats and opportunities. DNotes was created on February 18, 2014 with an objective to meet the full functions of fiat currency as a unit of account, store of value and medium of exchange within three years. It decided to take a very different path since day one in building a trustworthy stable digital currency with reliable long term appreciation.

Central to DNotes long term strategic plan is the creation of highly scalable building blocks, as the foundation of its own ecosystem. Those strategic building blocks include CryptoMoms; a currency neutral site dedicated to encourage women participation, DNotesVault; a free secure storage for DNotes' stakeholders with 100% deposit guarantee with verifiable funds, and CRISPs; a family of Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plans for everyone worldwide. The core mission of CRISP is to make the savings opportunity available to everyone; from the unborn to the most senior; from the unbanked to the super rich. The opportunity for anyone to participate irrespective of financial standing, coupled with combined charity efforts will bring about much needed financial freedom for millions worldwide.

Yong explained that, "winning strategies are most effective when executed flawlessly in the right sequence and at the most opportune time. Until there is a stable digital currency everyone can understand, trust and feel comfortable about, attempts to promote it as a medium of exchange will cost more harm than good. In the case of DNotes, the medium of exchange function will not kick until its third year; at which time many small business owners and their employees are anticipated to be DNotes stakeholders and participants in one of its cryptocurrency savings plans."

DNotes' ecosystem is strategically linked and systematically executed towards the ultimate goal of mass consumer and mass merchant adoption of DNotes as a medium of exchange in global commerce. As a digital currency it is equal to and better than fiat currency and as a technology it holds enormous power to cause a quantum shift with world changing implications.

DNotes is a cryptographically created digital currency based on a novel decentralized peer to peer model, where trust is replaced by mathematical algorithms, eliminating the need of an intermediary such as a bank or an automatic clearing house. Assets of value such as Bitcoin, DNotes, and other digital assets can be sent and received in minutes anytime, anywhere, worldwide without the oversight of any central authority. It takes as little as two simple cell phones, or computers with an internet connection to send and receive funds. It does not require, transmit, or store any personal information and the two parties do not need to know or trust each other to successfully complete the transaction at little to no cost.

The world we live in has always been dynamic, constantly reacting and adjusting to the needs for change. What we could be underestimating this time is the massive potential for job and wealth creation. We are already living in a hyperconnected world with super-computing power at our finger tips. Over five billion people will be online equipped with significantly more powerful computing power by 2020. Technologies have always been ahead of regulations. This time around the speed of an accommodating regulatory environment to promote rather than to stifle the greatest innovation since the Internet could be the greatest competitive edge among nations. Bitcoin as a digital currency coupled with the immense power of the Blockchain is the solution to many global problems confronting mankind today. There may not be another global opportunity of this magnitude a single nation can exploit to gain an enormous advantage.

Gotta say (it's why I'm here observing) that Dnotes does a far better job of offsetting the bad 'outside' press with quality marketing initiatives.

There are roughly sorta three types of coin communities:

'A' (80%): too emotionally fragile, little or no interest (or competence/experience) in marketing beyond the Net.

'B' (18%): more mature communities, but still little coherence to marketing

'C' (2%): both mature and (either reasonably or very solidly) oriented to getting the message out.

Mark

 

Hi Mark. Thanks for sharing your observation. I sincerely wish that "C" is higher than 2% but that may be the sad truth which will continue to haunt our industry, giving the media plenty of senational headlines.

You are correct. We believe in sending a clear and consistent message that is positive and truthful.

Quote from: Ashley on Today at 03:17:27 AM

Is bitcoin following DNotes lead by offering bitcoin for employees rewards?


"Wall Street Bank BNY Mellon Experimenting With Bitcoin Rewards"

Developers for Bank of New York Mellon Corp have been experimenting with bitcoin for use as part of the bank’s newly created corporate recognition program, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The so-called “BK Coins” will be awarded to staff for contributions to the bank’s software development, and can be redeemed for gift cards and other rewards.

The initiative was announced by BNY Mellon CIO Suresh Kumar during a meeting last week at the bank’s innovation center. Kumar noted at the time that the bitcoin testing fits within BNY Mellon’s broader goals of exploring open-source software for the bank’s growing needs.

Kumar, according to the Journal, noted at the time that the scope of the rewards program may be expanded to cover other activities conducted by bank employees.

Kumar said of the development work:

“There is a big mindset change that comes with many of these new technologies. So if we can find a way to make it tangible, in a controlled environment like our internal employee recognition program, then we have a great opportunity to help our businesses better understand the potential value.”

BNY Mellon is the latest large bank to test the waters of digital currency.

Last week, for example, UBS announced the creation of a London-based development center dedicated to experimenting with the technology.

Just drop in briefly to say hello to everyone. I am working on a number of projects that are very time consuming and demand total focus, as well as some travel. I will not be available to post as frequently, as I like to. Please do your best help to keep this forum engaging and informative.

I share your frustration that most publications in our industry have not been helpful by focusing on sensational negative headlines. Sadly negative headlines attracts readership at the expense of others who worked hard to build something positive and of mutually benefits to many. At DNotes, we will continue to pursue what we believe is right and of positive contribution to others as well as ourselves.

Happy Easter everyone!  Have a great day with your family and friends!

                                   Smiley Smiley Smiley

Have a lovely Easter..I hope for the next few months to heavily trade DNOTES to try to grow some more.. so had to take from vault to liquify..I hope if I can make another 10k Dnotes from trading over the next few months to put back what I took from vault then have pure funds to trade to make more will be good for the retirement funding.. Smiley..I am hoping some other investments will also pay off so can get the vault to 100k at some point before the year end..

Hi Qiwoman2. I sent you an email a few days ago. Not sure if you received it. If you have changed your email address, please let me know. I will re-send it. Thanks.

Glad to know that you had a good weekend. Hope everyone did too. We had a nice family gathering and had a great time. Sometime, it is good to have a quite period from the high drama Bitcoin world. It is becoming rather evident that the Bitcoin-Digital Currency world in indestructible. That is actually a very good thing and gives us even more confident that digital currency will indeed be the future of money, for those who still have doubts.

It was depressing to read about the near implosion of the Bitcoin Foundation. It’s sad, but it will come to pass. Bitcoin and Digital Currency may be dealt a temporary blow but should not suffer any permanent damage. After all, Bitcoin has died 53 times according to Bitcoin Obituaries.

'It may be a challenge at first to get your friends into crypto because the blockchain sounds complicated to them, and they oft say 'what do I do with it?' after you tell them that it is cash.'

One key here is to be prepared to buy and sell coin for cash at physical meetups. This facilitates 'micro-volume loops' in households, neighbourhoods, the student accommodation of a uni, the uni cafe, a local market -- anywhere people can connect a laptop to the Internet.

It is clumsy and time-consuming, but it brings together hands-on experience, tech-support, and discussion of cryptos.

We got the wife of a local President of the Chamber of Commerce to 'buy' a jar of chutney at an Easter fair. She'd never heard of 'cryptographic currencies.' But she hit the 'Send' button on my android Litecoin wallet, and we gave her the chutney (paid for out of our commercial-development budget).

"One key here is to be prepared to buy and sell coin for cash at physical meetups"

And this I shall do at my uni, I never quite thought of creating a 'crypto' group for my university!!! Thank you for turning my mind to it. At such a place, I could purchase DNotes from the exchange, and sell it to students. I'll need to get this 'independent reserve' exchange website up and going first, because buying btc to later purchase DNotes is damn expensive in NZ, and takes forever. I'll continue to mull it over.

Easter is all over this side of the world now, I wish our US/CA friends a happy family holiday.

Happy family holiday everyone!

I want everyone's opinion on this one:

Which name do you prefer, "DNotes Digital Currency Education Tool" or "DNotes Guide to Digital Currency"? Also if you have a suggestion, I'm open to hearing new ideas.

The app is currently called DNotes Education Tool, and is available on Google Play.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tool.DNotesEDU

I would recommend
Cryptocurrency Quiz - How much do you know about digital currency?

Using digital currency because it is the 'preferred term' didn't elude me, but I think more people will search for cryptocurrency.
http://www.straply.com/search/cryptocurrency
Click on the different apps to see more.

I also recommend, no matter what name you chose, to make very descriptive so the customer knows exactly what is when they see the title (if I search for something on my phone, all I see is the title and author).

Great job on the app. How about when someone answers, having a little description about the answer? "That's correct. Good job! A paper wallet can be a safe option if you learn how to ... Click here to Continue"



I like "DNotes Guide to Digital Currency", but I also really like the word education in the title.  I agree with kanus1113 that more people will search for cryptocurrency and I also like the wording of his recommendation.  Here is a compromise possibility:

DNotes Educational Guide (title)
Cryptocurrency Quiz - How much do you know about digital currency? (subtitle)

That is very clever. I like that.

Can someone explain the CRISP for students thing? I find it a little confusing.

I will be delighted to help. Do you have specific questions that you need clarification? Are you a student planning to sign up?

Dnotes pretty much answered it for me Smiley I am a student, but I already use and understand crypto, so I don't want to take up a spot that a beginner could use Smiley

We would love to have you sign up and actively participate to help promote the project if possible. There will be opportunities for you to earn DNotes by helping out in the future. It's all up to you though. The program is designed to accommodate a very large number of students worldwide, so don't worry about using up a spot. We just wanted to start small to catch any problems. Let is know if you have any recommendations for improvement. Thank you for your support.
Oh, i did not know that. Thank you for the information Smiley I would love to help promote it. Ill tell some of my friends about it!
That is good to know. I am happy for you. You seem to have the vision at a young age that digital currency has a great future. I strongly encourage you to take full advantage of it and learn as much as you can. This is where the job and wealth creation is for your generation.

We are at the beginning stage of the biggest technology revolution in history. Relatively speaking, hardly anyone knows about it and even fewer people know enough to take full advantage it. If you have the interest, learn all about it and master it at a young age. I have been an entrepreneur for over forty years, with first hand knowledge of the personal computer and Internet era. Digital currency and the Blockchain technology will be even more massive and disruptive, with huge opportunities for those who positioned themselves early. Think of the few top 1% today, many of them became wealthy as a direct result of the personal computer and the Internet. I wish I were 10 years younger. Tell your friends about it and let us know how we can be helpful.

Quote from Dyna:

One of our greatest assets is our discipline and ability to remained highly focused working on projects that matter most at that period in time. It is just as important not to get ahead of technologies but always be deeply informed and well positioned to participate in and exploit them at the most opportune time.

The first mover advantage is often over estimated. Pioneers often pay a very high price and struggle just to stay alive, avoiding many pitfalls, while allowing others who come from behind to learn from their mistakes and take full advantage on what has been accomplished and paid for. Good timing is invaluable.

Quote from MinningHabit:
(Quoting the late Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple Computer:

Amazingly well said.

To quote Jobs on the same topic: “People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”

Happy to see you, MinningHabit. Hope you and your family are all doing well. Our very best to you all.



Very good quotes! They really highlight the point that this team is aware of the happenings in crypto, and the lessons from previous nascent industries that have had a similar trajectory. Look at all the projects like crypto mom's and crisps, that are the product of our dev team listening to the excellent ideas of the community!

Hope everybody is enjoying their Easter!

Hi TeeGee. You have an enjoyable weekend too. For those who are new to digital currency it is important to keep in mind that DNotes, being a currency, is not owned by any single individual or entity. It is collectively owned by all of its stakeholders. We strongly believe that for the currency to be truly successful it must be built with trust, integrity, and in line with the philosophy of its stakeholders. We are constantly watching out for good ideas from our community and do take them under serious considerations, as long as they are within the scope of our strategic plans. However, we are very selective and highly focused in our core missions.

I will be delighted to help. Do you have specific questions that you need clarification? Are you a student planning to sign up?

Dnotes pretty much answered it for me Smiley I am a student, but I already use and understand crypto, so I don't want to take up a spot that a beginner could use Smiley

We would love to have you sign up and actively participate to help promote the project if possible. There will be opportunities for you to earn DNotes by helping out in the future. It's all up to you though. The program is designed to accommodate a very large number of students worldwide, so don't worry about using up a spot. We just wanted to start small to catch any problems. Let is know if you have any recommendations for improvement. Thank you for your support.

Quote from Dyna:

One of our greatest assets is our discipline and ability to remained highly focused working on projects that matter most at that period in time. It is just as important not to get ahead of technologies but always be deeply informed and well positioned to participate in and exploit them at the most opportune time.

The first mover advantage is often over estimated. Pioneers often pay a very high price and struggle just to stay alive, avoiding many pitfalls, while allowing others who come from behind to learn from their mistakes and take full advantage on what has been accomplished and paid for. Good timing is invaluable.

Quote from MinningHabit:
(Quoting the late Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple Computer:

Amazingly well said.

To quote Jobs on the same topic: “People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”

Happy to see you, MinningHabit. Hope you and your family are all doing well. Our very best to you all.
