Hey everyone,
RJF here. Tried to change my password on the "RJF" account and got locked out. No response from requests to unlock the "Hero" account so I guess i'm a newbie again. Really sucks. It's stuff like this that makes folks loose interest in these forums.
RJF, that is unfortunate, and very frustrating. There have been a couple of incidents where our forum members took months to recover their original status. To a certain extent we are all "customers" It is unbelievable why customer support, customer satisfaction, and great customer experience are not a high priority to top management. Customers are the final link connecting to business success. Once that link is broken, as in the case of Cryptsy, the company is gone for good. I just had a bad experience with Coinbase. Most likely due to third party software upgrade I lost my "Instant Buy". They must have tightened their address match and I have one address line with ... Rd and one without. It took me six weeks and countless hours to finally recovered my instantly buy. For sure customer support do not work on Saturday or Sunday at Coinbase. For those who managing your own business or those who are planning to start a business, that note of this, " What is your business? At the most fundamental level, it is the customer. Your business is not defined by your credential, name of your company, or how much publicity you received for your exciting innovative ideas. It is defined by successfully satisfying the customer’s want for the product or service purchased. Consequently, the fundamental mission and purpose of every business is to satisfy the customer." Alan Yong, The Four Pillars of Business Success, 2016 On the bright side, Payservices.com's support is very, very responsive. I hope they keep that a priority as they grow. Very glad to hear you are having a positive experience with PayServices Wiser. It is a huge project and could wind up being very helpful to our industry and DNotes.

Hi im researching for DNotes pools up to 3.5 ghash ,, donotes pool is always under 200 mhash i found this another http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8923/static/ that say is 500 mhash no pools for the rest of hash ?? Most of the time when I checked, there were a couple of multipools who have the majority of our hashrate. Poolwarz, Multipool.us, Hash-To-Coins. They switch off and on. There has been in some cases hashrates I couldn't account for, which may have been private pools or in another language.

Great story Nick! I'm not really clear on this - can we purchase DNotes from PayServices? From what I understand, essentially you will be able to purchase one of their butterfly cards, which comes in the mail initially, and use that balance to exchange for DNotes. It is still in early launch phase. I'm working with their team through the process so I can provide more detail on how it works.

'I've noticed over the past two years that Bitcoin tends to trend upwards whenever some country is having a financial crisis (at least a crisis that makes headlines). I think it's realistic to believe that the good cryptocurrencies will gain traction when there are economic problems.' Morning, Wiser. My mob were considered to be crackpots when we first argued -- 2013 -- that It Was All Gonna Be About The Next Financial Crisis: This came rather later: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/comments/242i41/crypto_prices_and_the_global_financial_crisisChina will remain the epi-centre. Articles like this -- http://www.scmp.com/business/banking-finance/article/1551510/how-elude-chinese-foreign-exchange-laws-take-your-pick-ways?page=all -- showed us how interesting Bitcoin would become to the Chinese when they figured it out. Note bene: we see the Dnotes community as better situated than most others. I don't mean to be critical, but 'parochial' and 'insular' are fair words to describe most crypto communities -- certainly a couple of years ago. Dnotes' commitment to compliance is a hedging of bets: if the primary path turns out to be crypto-primarily-as-payment-method, then Dnotes is set. If things go hyper-pear-shaped, this community's worldly attitudes will (we think) allow it to respond swiftly and appropriately. Niiiiiiice!! Mark Hah, had I not gotten sidetracked I would have posted that Mark might agree with you. We of course hope it doesn't take a global financial crisis to incite change, but it can certainly be a driving factor if it comes down to that.

Gloomy indeed. Global financial crisis is knocking. Then again, has it ever stopped. This part was pretty interesting. Contrary to the typical sacrifice the future for today perspective. White believes governments hold the key, telling The Telegraph: "They should return to fiscal primacy — call it Keynesian, if you wish — and launch an investment blitz on infrastructure that pays for itself through higher growth." It's a controversial call, particularly as it would almost certainly require governments to take on even greater amounts of debt. That is a very dismal article. Hopefully digital currency and DNotes can gain traction pretty quickly. A global supplemental digital currency would likely be one of the safest bets in financial turmoil if it can grow to maintain much more liquidity and stability.

This is an important topic brought up on Coindesk. Blockstream CEO: Bitcoin Creating 'Toxic' Environment for Developers. There have been many successful open source projects over the years, with lots of contributors and everyone working together fairly well, but with bitcoin it has been a little different. Many opposing views, lots of politics, and the importance of even simple changes having a massive impact in part or in whole to the ecosystem or companies built around the existing architecture. One of the key differences is there is a lot of money involvement to consider, it hasn't been just what's good for bitcoin and it's users. Then of course, as Hill mentioned, there is no funding for the developers. This is just a small snippet from the article and it is worth a good read and some discussion. Following what can be best described as a vocal exit of developer Mike Hearn, the long-simmering debate over whether to scale the bitcoin blockchain to promote wider use has escalated. Though the exact lines of division remain blurry, the resulting media scrutiny has seemingly awakened the bitcoin mining and business community to what they perceive as a lack of movement by Bitcoin Core, the ecosystem’s largely volunteer development team. As a result, businesses are voicing their support for Bitcoin Classic, an alternative proposal to a strategic road map proposed by Bitcoin Core that would increase the size of data blocks on the blockchain to 2MB, up from 1MB today. Bitcoin Core has advocated for Segregated Witness, a proposal that would result in more capacity, without necessitating a hard fork, a process by which a mandatory network-wide software upgrade would be needed. Proponents of Bitcoin Classic contend that the solution simply introduces a choice into the market, and that, should their proposal succeed, they believe Bitcoin Core’s developers will simply migrate to a newly branded code base without much impact. However, Austin Hill, CEO of $21m startup Blockstream, believes that, despite these claims, the lack of support for Core developers is creating a "toxic" environment. Hill told CoinDesk: "It's created an environment where a whole bunch of companies have been building on bitcoin, enjoying the hard work of a community of developers who are now saying, without saying thank you, I don’t like the color of what you shipped me so I'm going to abandon you."

Some interesting perspectives from Bobby Lee at the Miami Bitcoin conference. Bitcoin Poised to Be the World Reserve CurrencyThe highlight of the conference was the revelation that Bitcoin is poised to be the reserve currency for fiat currencies, as thoroughly explained by Bobby Lee, CEO of BTCC, the first Bitcoin exchange in China. As background information, Lee explained that money and currency are not the same. And, he reminded the audience that Bitcoin is the first successful digital currency ever; circulation is limited to 21 million, and, it is not centralized by anyone or anything. He also pointed out that Bitcoin is pseudo- anonymous, like cash. Lee described why Bitcoin has all the perfect features of money. He drew attention to the fact that only gold and Bitcoin have these characteristics. And because of that, “Bitcoin can serve as reserve for digital currencies globally.” Lee added: “Bitcoin’s blockchain can be the global anchor (proof-of-work chain) for all nationally created digital currencies.”Lee also stirred the audience with excitement when he mentioned that the government of China has just announced its intention to explore and create a digital currency for China. Next, Lee posed the questions “Will it be the new digital Reserve Currency? Or, “will it need a Digital Reserve Currency like Bitcoin to back it?”

"“A lack of hard currency has led to scarcity of intermediate goods and to widespread shortages of essential goods — including food — exacting a tragic toll,” Werner said. “Prices continue to spiral out of control.”" "The monetary authority accused websites that track the dollar’s street value of “destroying prices” and installing a “savage” form of capitalism in the country, adding that 60 percent of inflation was the result of currency manipulation." Wow, it's too bad the government has been cracking down on people using foreign currency and bitcoin. That could improve the lives of Venezuelans.

Bitcoin Weekly Recap 1-22-2016Annual TNABC Held in Miami. Gatecoin Added to SuperCharger Accelerator. CoinTree Adds Recurring Bitcoin Purchase Option. International DD4BC Ransom Investigation Yields Two Arrests. Chinese Citizens Warned to Avoid MMM Global Scheme. San Francisco Bay Area Tops New List of Bitcoin-Friendly Cities. Jamie Dimon Still Hates Bitcoin… http://dcebrief.com/bitcoin-weekly-recap-1-22-2016/ "CoinTree Adds Recurring Bitcoin Purchase Option. Customers who have been looking for a way to use their bank accounts to make recurring Bitcoin purchases will soon have that option. The Australian exchange CoinTree recently announced that the recurring purchase feature will be added to its services beginning on January 26, 2016. The new option fulfills some customers’ desire to actively acquire the cryptocurrency on a steady, gradual basis, enabling them to continually expand their holdings without regard to the ups and downs of the market. To protect its customers, the exchange is also implementing set intervals between purchases, and limiting the amount of each purchase to no more than AUD $200." Sounds good for DNotesVault. Cool option DNotes could adopt when it becomes easier to purchase directly. Absolutely kanus. I seem to remember talking about this type of thing before as well. It would be very helpful to those who are looking to invest small and grow their portfolio.
