will DNOTE be on bittrex soon?

We have spoken with bittrex briefly a while back and DNotes does not meet their criteria, which was a high page count on bitcointalk.

If I remember correctly, their conclusion was that DNotes did not have sufficient support from its community based on our forum page count.

Despite various attempts, Cryptsy has yet to be convinced to at least place DNotes on their voting list.

It is not always easy to take a different path. We see things quite differently and there are no compelling reasons for us to change course. Do the right things and everything else will follow, sooner or later.

I enjoy reading crypto news, and thought I'd like to share this (a link, to yet another example of what an incompetent development team with no foresight and honesty looks like)

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/paybase-is-just-now-looking-at-stripes-tos-after-violating/

I don't particularly want to flame other alt coins in this happy thread, but I do want to point out how over-hyped this crypto was and how their incompetent team under-delivered on Every. Single. Promise... that they made to their "excited" community. They now have (tens of?) thousands of disgruntled "investors" who have been lied to and scammed. This massive project that had lots of money involved, no longer has any credibility. The crypto in the link above and the mining company that preceded it, whether fraudulent scam or not, has made a mess of what should have been a simple launch, and let down all of its stakeholders.

To run a successful crypto, or business, you need to have honesty, integrity, transparency, along with the desire and ability to carry out promises made. I think the Dnotes developers have this locked down. Each and every strategic step has been met in the approximate time periods that were laid out publicly in the planning stage. Dnotes will succeed because each feature and new release is timed for maximal success. I'm going with the idea that the dev team already know the following idea that could have something something to do with their approach: It doesn't matter so much to be the first, but being the best positioned when everybody wants what you are offering.

"In the early 1980s a team of IBM engineers in Boca Raton, Florida were convinced that the next wave of computer technologies will become mainstream with a personal computer on every desk. Unable to convince corporate to fund their R&D project to develop a personal computer and a disk operating system (DOS) they went ahead anyway with a rather small budget. Anxious to get some real life feed back they signed up to display their new generation of PC at a computer show in Chicago. As it was told they were working with and counting on Digital Research (DR DOS) to provide the operating system. Unfortunately, as a small company then, Digital Research team decided support another computer exhibition in Europe, which they believe was more promising. Reportedly, IBM engineers were in a desperate mode, struggling with a Disk Operating System that just didn't work. One of the IBM engineers found out that two young men (Bill Gates and Paul Allen) were working on a version of DOS and so they contacted them. Bill Gates immediately recognized that this was their "luck break". He seized the opportunity, negotiated a great deal and delivered what he promised.  The rest is history."

The timing schedule and strategic planning behind this development is incredibly important. It must be in tune to world demand of crypto perfectly, to be best positioned in that "critical moment" (nightcrawler movie) or "tipping point" (Malcolm Gladwell book). Honesty and integrity are required to achieve the strategic plan laid out. To do what you say you are going to do, when you say you are going to do it. Bill Gates and Paul Allen were the only two people in the world who had the skills that IBM (and the world) needed.

Those are excellent questions. DNotes could very well be one of the most generous crypto currencies in terms of giveaways. We absolutely believe in the shared stake concept and that our giveaway programs have made it possible for many to own crypto currency for the first time. Based on our registration data, our giveaways through Cryptomoms is indicating that 25% of our giveaways have gone to female stake holders...

DNotes is fundamentally different in substance and style. We are totally committed to building a solid foundation right from the start, deliberately maintaining a low profile to avoid rapid increase in the price of DNotes that is not yet supported by fundamental values. Stability in the value of the currency is one of the key targets our business model seeks to achieve. Instinctively, we all love rapid price appreciation and we certainly understand the mechanics of the law of supply and demand.  However, if demand is artificially generated constantly to induce rapid price appreciation, stability in the currency is not achievable. We all love rapid price appreciation, but for long term stake holders, sustainable price appreciation within a reasonable range is the most valuable selection criteria to consider. Until there is a digital currency sufficiently stable, wide spread adoption by merchants is highly unlikely

I got tired about here, I'll edit, and repost all this tomorrow or something. 3am here.



Wow! Did I say all that? Thanks, TeeGee for reminding me. Quite a pleasant surprise.

For the records DNotes was launched on February 18, 2014.

My thoughts on retirement accounts-

This one seems much trickier then an account for kids, because you have to take it in context and user expectations are different between the two.

For instance (I'm sharing my perspective, and only mine, so if someone else feels differently, feel free to share yours)

For a CRISP for kids account-  I am slowly stocking it up with dnotes, with the expectation that it basically is serving as a savings account, with the hopes of long term growth in the value of of DNotes, but, I also don't really expect to see any gains other then what I put into the account.

For a retirement account- My personal expectation is that an account has some intrinsic way of accruing value / volume in and off itself, independent of my own contributions to such a fund.    I don't know if DNotes (hell, honestly all of crypto) has the infrastructure in place to create this kind of tern around, and honestly, I don't see any method of creating such a return outside of having a CRISP retirement daytrader (which in turn, would likely be counter productive to coin health/crypto health at this point, because god knows the last thing we need is yet another large volume daytrader ((Counter point to myself, I would likely still try and take advantage of such a service myself)))

Rambling now, so will cut this short and try and recapture the thoughts that slipped the mortal coil far to soon.


I agree the CR.I.S.P. for Retirement will be more complex than the one for kids, but it also going to be a flexible, first of it's kind, exciting investment vehicle.

There are several ways that a retirement account can grow including additional contributions, dividends, interest, or capital gains.  DNotes gives you the option of additional contributions and what most of us are counting on, the potential for huge capital gains.

An unstructured, self directed plan allows you to make as many contributions as you want, whenever you want.  This allows the most flexibility to accommodate people who want to make a large contribution now while prices are low, monthly contributions, or random contributions as their financial situation allows.  

This is going to be very exciting!!

Great post elrugrim, that is a valid expectation we have to consider and overcome. Chase has explained it very well. Don't forget Dyna's post about adding your vault address to your signature Cheesy


I was going to just have a quick peek and get back to other stuff I have been working on.
The challenge to respond is so tempting, I just can’t resist.

Let us start thinking what really matters most when it comes to long term investment at the time of distribution or withdrawal. It is the sum of the total savings adjusted for any capital gains or losses, in the case of DNotes. POS coins would argue that their coin is superior as a savings vehicle because it pays interest and the compound effect can be substantial over the long term. POS coins do have their merits but also comes with some challenges, especially in terms of stakeholder technical support, which also generates impressive page count. That may be a good thing. We believe what matters most is the total return on investment. From my personal experience with AsiaCoin and XCurrency the generous POS interest was of little help. I am no longer a stakeholder of either coin, and still recovering from my heavy losses.

DNotes business model is more like a real world business that believes in long term growth and capital appreciation verse a different business model that pays high dividends. In our case a solid growth path is vital. It has to growth from a solid base, building momentum, at a higher and higher rate of speed over time. This gives us the scale to dominate. Think of Walmart or Amazon at their formative stage, if it makes any sense. Other wise just be patience and wait.

Chase is exactly right. It is about the high potential long term capital gain. DNotes is designed to require near zero tech support, easy of use and reliable appreciation for the masses, hence an ideal savings vehicle for long term savings account. CR.I.S.P. for Retirement is expected to be very well received by small business owners whose retirement savings accounts are seriously under funded. Their employees are in even worse shape. So what is the buzz about our large family of CR.I.S.Ps. We can not even beginning to guess which one will be more popular. Is it CR,I,S.P. for Kids, Students, Employee Benefits, Retirement or Charity……………???  Your guess is as good as mine. I do know that they will be our drivers of healthy growth and our path to mass consumer and merchant adoption, in a world with a lot of stakeholders buying and selling to preserve and promote mutual interest and self benefits.

Get use to a new saying which I have been using for the last forty years. “We do things that others won’t, so that we can do things that others can’t. That makes it challenging for “me too” if that provides any comfort.

Sorry. RJF. I just burnt up my time. Keep up the great discussion. I will try to respond to your post tomorrow.

Thanks RJF for getting to work right away. I will be posting my response late today or first thing tomorrow. It is recommended that anyone making serious contributions towards the success of DNotes post a DNotesVault deposit address. For your easy reference you may want to have a dedicated address and label it accordingly. A few of our good whales will want to see that you are being rewarded for your contributions.

We have a lot going on. The first payment for PR using DNotes has just been successfully completed using Timed Send of 12 monthly releases. It has been received with great excitment. That is historic. It reminded me of those years when Dauphin Technology was a media sensation. It can happen to DNotes.

Selling of DNotes picked up speed today for no known reasons. This could be a good buying opportunity for those who like to add more DNotes to their stash.

Hmmmm.. not a coding guru, but I think I have seen automated escrow services-  I wonder if that could be incorperated.

Ah =)  Nevermind!   Anyways yeah.. really no need to reinvent the escrow wheel again at this point in time.


Not trying to be self-serving but some in our industry may wish that we provide escrow services since DNotes places very high value on trust. However, we prefer to remain highly focused in accomplishing our core missions which are most valuable to our stakeholders and avoid risk exposures that may be disruptive.

There have been an increasing number requests for us to make CR.I.S.P. for Retirement a priority. We do know that a lot of savings for retirement are under funded. The potential high returns of saving a small amount of DNotes on a regular basis could make quite a difference. Let us know what you think.


Yes, outstanding, stick to the plan!

Also, I think CR.I.S.P. retirement accounts would be received well in many circles. I know most young people don't think much about retirement until it's too late but, introducing a savings plan in their own digital world just might bring them on board before it's too late. I would say go for it!





I agree, it's a perfect time for CR.I.S.P. for Retirement.  RJF made a good point, this may be the type of digital world savings plan that gets young people saving for their retirement.  The potential returns, could help give people hope for a secure retirement. I love this idea!

I agree. RJF made a great point. It could be a great thing to get young people to start thinking about retirement early. The older age group who know just too well that their retirement accounts are way under funded, will likely look at this favorably. This could have worldwide appeal. How should we package it? Love to have inputs from our community.

Did I remember correctly that one of RJF's New Year resolutions is to collect some DNotes. This could be a good chance. Show us a good plan to be well executed with a full press release, I will show you some DNotes. Lol, but I am serious. We now have a good infrastructure to get our community more involved and earn some DNotes at the same time. Don't forget that our bars are set high and we take our time to do things right.

Does DNotes have an escrow service? Will DNotesvault eventually offer this?

No we do not. We do not have any plan to. Definitely not unless and until we have a fully regulated exchange.

Market is turning around, values are going up, looks like some the "gloom and doom" contingent were, as usual wrong. Here's to a strong 2015 and continually successful DNotes!



Whether it was personal computer, wireless communication, internet and now digital currency, pioneers got shot at, some times. The ups and downs are the nature of the beast.  It is not going to be any different this time around. The early routes are always rough, untested, and dangerous. If you can not see clearly it is easy to fall off the cliffs and get hurt. It will only get better though. 2015 will be a great year.

As we work on the DNotesVault, we would love to hear your suggestions.

Is it easy to send DNotes to someone who knows nothing about digital currency? Can we make it easier?

Do you feel safe storing your coins at DNotesVault?
Is it easy to understand why your coins are safe at the DNotesVault?

Is the dashboard easy to understand and use?


Sending DNotes:  yes

Storing DNotes: yes, especially with the guarantee, that makes it a no brainer as long as there remains trust in the organization and that is only growing as far as I can see.

Using Dashboard: yes, simple enough for most.





Thanks, RJF. People are consistent and their patterns of behavior are consistent. Trust has to be consistently demonstrated over time. It has to be earned and not claimed. You all are our judges. We are honored to have your trust and will not take lightly.

http://newsbtc.com/2015/01/04/new-litecoin-vault-service-launched/

The "Vault" idea is starting to catch on. Just remember, DNotes was the first, and so far the only, to offer a matching funds guarantee.


Somehow, I missed the most important link to this post. It is quite apparent that there is a serious need to have an online wallet for secure storage, perhaps also to support the convenience of mobile transactions. Certainly someguy123 must have worked very hard to make it happened. That is always a great thing for our industry. I used to own a fair amount of Litecoin but hardly a meaningful amount left to mention.

DNotesVault is also an online wallet; a web wallet. However, its current functions are quite different and specialized. DNotesVault is one of many, among a series of building blocks that will take some time to complete. All of our projects are strategically linked to others already in place, as well as those that will be launched later. As a continuous program, they provide growing fundamental values as DNotes price continues to appreciate. We believe that DNotes has a very healthy growth path that will continue for many years to come.

We can expect that others will soon try to provide the same service for their coin and that is a good thing for their stakeholders and our industry.

DNotes will always be a little different, because our commitments and philosophies are fundamentally different. Our digital currency is built from ground up with a core mission to be the Best In Class. We often do things others won’t, so that we can do things others can’t; such as our 100% deposit guarantee. One needs to be very lucky to become exceptional without a solid game plan and hard work. We are not counting on good luck. We have decided that it is best to work very hard for it. Thanks for supporting us.
2533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - DNotesVault Now Open for Registration! on: January 07, 2015, 12:36:03 PM

I think TeeGee has the 'keep it simple' covered - "explains in detail without losing the reader", "advantages DNotes enjoys over it's rivals", "screen shots of each step".  I kind of went on a DNotes bragging rant, and since I'm not writing this article, I will eat some humble pie. Grin

I'll rephrase the last sentence in my post.  If we had an easy to follow how-to, do you think it's a good idea to email it to people and have a deposit of DNotes waiting for them at the Vault if they are interested?

It's a great idea! What were you thinking as far as implementation? Something automated for all new accounts, or a special link, or more casual where you are just sending them the payment to their email before they register?



What I was thinking was that I could send an email to an old classmate, teacher, boss, friend, long lost relative, etc that included a simple how-to explanation about DNotes.  I would tell them that there was # Dnotes waiting for them at the DNotesVault.  All they have to do is sign up (using the same email address), create an deposit address, and the DNotes will show up in their account.  If you send it to people you know, even if it's been a long time since you have seen them, there will still be an element of trust.  It may be a great way to reconnect with someone.

It could have an expiry date in case they don't register.

What did you mean in "something automated for all new accounts"?

My fault, I should have clarified that question. It was in regards to how they would have DNotes waiting for them at the DNotesVault. Automated for all new accounts wouldn't work because of potential abuse but having a special link (Like a redemption link) you can send them in the email might be feasible, but I guess not much of an advantage over just sending them to their email address and letting them know they are there waiting for them.

Either way, that is a fantastic idea. That is an awesome way to reconnect with people from our past too.

Sharing and giving is a great thing. Anyone interested to start a program of their own, to share some DNotes with friends and family may send me a PM. I will do my best to be of some help.

Great discussion. Keep it up. I read every post.

Do you feel safe storing your coins at DNotesVault?

Here are my personal thoughts in my experiences with give-aways that I have run. I'd like to mention that DYNA and DNotes were very helpful in the whole process. I gave crypto to about 30 Vault accounts so far, I was happy that approx 30% were female, a massive demographic with less exposure to this industry.

Is it easy to send DNotes to someone who knows nothing about digital currency? Can we make it easier?

*Being able to send digital currency to people who have no prior knowledge about it is really easy with the ability to attach the Notes to their e-mail.

*Explaining the advantages of crypto is exciting conversation to have with each unfamiliar person, but doing it several times a day, in multiple conversation mediums (facebook / e-mail / in person), it can become very time consuming. It is making me thing that somebody from the community (I think I just put my hand up?) could write up a ~1000 word crypto "information" page that highlights the all the benefits of crypto, but also explains in detail without losing the reader, the comparative advantages DNotes enjoys over its rivals. I'm thinking this page should include screen shots of each step of the process (email, registration, and then dashboard) and in the future maybe some monthly progress reports on the market and how Dnotes has performed long term with some fancy graphs etc (I do that stuff in my spare time, so will just copy and paste it and make sure the grammar is tidy without lots of brackets and comma abuse!) The best mediums we could consider using to post the "update" information would be here on bitcointalk, on the FB page, twitter and the vault / Dnotescoin websites. I think potential investors would be quite interested, or at least give a second look into claims of "since this date, DNotes has gone from 1200 satoshi, to 3800 satoshi, which equates to $x to $x even taking into account the btc fall."

We could try and make some more videos like MiningHabit made a while ago that demonstrated how to buy from exchanges, the pc wallet demo's are a bit outdated.

*Giving the gifts of crypto to so many people, I found many of them didn't really understand it properly, but saw the value in "oh, it could go like the bitcoin one went, and be worth lots one day, oh sure i'll take it!", I'd say of the people who knew nothing about crypto, half of them were like this, the other half were more inquisitive and talked about wanting to discuss further when they had more money to properly invest and legitimately saw it as a long term investment - these people made me particularly happy. There exist many people who support crypto based on their moral conscience, and those people were over the moon to accept their "first crypto". My hope was that these people would 1. know that I'd done my research on what the best crypto was and 2. they would automatically think of Dnotes (after bitcoin) when somebody says "crypto", creating a tacit association.

Do you feel safe storing your coins at DNotesVault?
Is it easy to understand why your coins are safe at the DNotesVault?


It feels safe storing my crypto there, especially with the guaranteed fund. It is also very easy to understand why the coins are safe, there is a good explanation on the Vault website.

Is the dashboard easy to understand and use?

Yup, it sure is. It is good that you included having an "available balance" on top of a "overall balance". This means that I know that several people still haven't registered for their vault accounts that I've sent crypto to. In future, I imagine the Vault will look more like a chequeing account, where you can see your ingoings / outgoings, and just imagine how cool it would be to have a VaultCard that you could use on an eftpos terminal! - Would just have to find a payment processor, and write lots of code!

Thank you, TeeGee. May be if I openingly admit that I still owed you at least two long PM/email reply others will have a better idea how badly I needed more hours in the day to work on multiple projects behind the scene. Let us say we are looking forward to a great year. Please do the best you can to keep this forum active and productive. I know many of you are already doing your best and we appreciate that very much.

Great post, TeeGee.

Bitcoin makes top 5 list for technologies funded by Venture Capitalists in 2015.


"The Top 5 Technologies VCs Will Fund in 2015"

Jan 4, 2015 - Gavin McCulley for the National Edition

As we welcome the new year and get geared up for top trends at CES 2015, it’s interesting to take a look at the top 5 tech sectors and their rising stars. This is where top VCs will be looking to make big investments in 2015. If your startup fits into one of these categories, 2015 could be your year!

1.  “Now Time” Social Media – As social media and connective platforms continue to grow, those that share your “past” such as Twitter (thoughts) and Instagram (sights), will be augmented with platforms that share your “now”. Stream is an app that turns your smart phone into a live streaming video camera, and allows your followers to see what you see, as you see it. Services like Stre.am are heralding a new era of global human connection and VCs know there are fortunes to be made with companies pioneering this space.

2.  Bitcoin – Despite incredible odds, crypto-currency continues to gain traction as a viable electronic currency. This massively disruptive movement provides incredible opportunity for awesome players like BitStash, a recently funded startup that provides ultra-secure BitCoin wallets at an affordable price, which will help more people get comfortable using BitCoin. Early movers like BitStash have a unique position that make VCs take notice.

3.  3D Printing – The ability to create a prototype of anything you can imagine, in your home, is disrupting the world, and VCs know it. So it’s not surprising that companies like AstroPrint are making a big splash in the early-stage funding world. AstroPrint allows users to slice, store, and print 3D files from any web enabled device, like a smartphone. In addition, you can monitor your 3D printer and organize designs in the cloud. Products like AstroPrint are making 3D printing more mainstream, and that means more users, which means big opportunity, something every VC loves!

4.  The Internet of Things – Connected devices, especially the connected car, are changing the way we live, and startups like Zubie, which recently received several millions of dollars in venture capital, are at the forefront of this movement. Through a neatly-inserted device below your dashboard, Zubie instantly turns your ride into a smart car connected to the cloud and allows you to see everything from maintenance reports to driving habits. As our world becomes more connected, VCs are eager to find gems like Zubie.

5.  Data Acceleration – With the onslaught of the Internet of Things, there is a huge market need for more bandwidth, but it will take years for the required fiber optic upgrades. AccelerationSystems.com, a startup that just closed a seven-figure Angel round, offers a patented cloud based internet acceleration solution with a novel approach to solving the big data transfer problem, increasing transfer rates by almost 100X. Companies like AccelerationSystems.com will be obvious short-term acquisition targets by big data aggregators, making them particularly attractive to the VC community.

These 5 technology sectors are going to be on fire in 2015, and you can expect Venture Capitalists to fanning the flames!

http://tech.co/top-5-technologies-vcs-will-fund-2015-2015-01


This does not surprise me at all. VCs invested close to $400 million in Bitcoin and Altcoins, especially in the ecosystems, in 2014. I would not be shocked if it goes over $1 billion this year.

It also looks like a lot of institutional investors and wealthy individuals are considering investing in this space. When DNotes finally get a small slice of it, this will pay off big for our CR.I.S.Ps. holders. This could be the opportunity for people with very little to finally get a nice break, if they are invested, even in a small way.

Make an effort to introduce CR.I.S.Ps. to your friends and family. If you can make a compelling case that you are organizing a giveaway program to give a few DNotes to friends and family, PM me and I will try to help out. DNotes is becoming more precious and harder to come by. Every DNotes from me is purchased using my own funds to support the market. That is my way of helping as many people as I can and I mean every word of it. Too many people are struggling financially, I happened to know what that  feels like. When I have a choice, it is better to give, than to receive.

Quick comments:

Noticed a lot of selling. Not sure where they are coming from. There have also been a lot of buying. Quite a show of strength. Thanks for all that support. If the past is a good indicator, it is likely to stay at this trading for a while longer. The uptrend is still looking solid. It has consistently been creating higher highs and
and higher lows. 2015 is looking to be a great year. A little too much going on for me, but is almost all DNotes related commitments. I may not be able to post as often, but you guys are doing a great job. Thanks.

Now to be a devil's advocate.   I'm considering doing some day trading at bter to build up some points, and start doing a daily vote push for dnotes.  

More exchanges means more likely the coin and it's value can be gamed by people who think crypto coins are nothing but imaginary stocks, but also opens up the coin to new users that might result in a larger user base, which helps stability.   Still debating it internally, so if anyone has thoughts on it, I would appreciate it.


This is just my personal opinion:

I still suffer from a Mintpal voting hangover! Tongue 

I think we would achieve better stability and value by targeting new users that are outside of crypto, as they are hanging onto their DNotes as a long term investment.  Users within crypto that understand what it is that DNotes stands for, and believe in it, will find us.  In general, day traders show little allegiance, and will likely sell for the next quick profit.  It would be really nice to see the DNotesVault & CR.I.S.P. combo have a chance to work it's magic.  I know the big exchanges are coming, but it should only be when DNotes needs them.  That being said, with the length of time it takes to vote your way onto an exchange, it probably wouldn't hurt to start now for a spot there in a year.  Smiley

Excellent points here Chase. Being listed on another exchange doesn't necessarily mean we will have more supporters, or more support.



Agreed. I think that a key to Bitcoin or any alt currency is to make it user friendly and build services that attract non crypto users. All of us in the crypto world look at most of the alts to see if it's worth investing in long term or even short term to bet/risk to flip a profit. I think that the easier DNotes or any crypto can attract the general public they will build long term support. The good thing is that DNotes does appear to have long term plans to phase in things that could attract the general public.

frameLAlife, thanks for your support and participation. You are absolutely correct. Our industry has the tendency to impress their own, instead of reaching out to the general public. The vast majority of consumers do not care about the technical complexities in the back end office. It is the ease of participation, ease of use, trust factors, and "what is in it for me" that are compelling to win them over. Without a large consumer base with digital currency to spend mass merchant adoption of digital currency is not likely to happen for a long time. And without stability and reliable long term appreciation merchants will likely dump the cryptocurrency instantly to prevent currency loss as often happened in the case with Bitcoin.

The "Vault" idea is starting to catch on. Just remember, DNotes was the first, and so far the only, to offer a matching funds guarantee.

May this be the best Year for Dnotes.

We are planning to have a great year.

Despite the recent price slump, 2014 was still an awesome year for Bitcoin and other cryptos to creep into the mainstream. 2015 should be an interesting year! Great post Chase.

Thanks, and I agree 2015 is going to be interesting.  What's going on in crypto right now is probably similar to what all new industries go through when they are just starting out.  It will be fascinating to see how everything plays out!
    Having experienced several new startups first hand, I can say that this is the most exciting segment of just about any project. Almost like falling in love! We work 18 hours a day (Dyna works 20 hours a day, old people need less sleep). We talk about new concepts like schoolgirls talking about the new quarterback on the football team. New ideas are poked and prodded, scrubbed and polished, sometimes falling on the heap of "old new ideas", sometimes changing the way business is conducted so dramatically it changes an entire industry.

     Like all startups, there will be bumps and bruises. What is needed most in this phase is the "The Grand Vision", the "Great Journey" and a calm, confident hand at the helm. Dyna has given us his Grand Vision. He has explained how we are going to get there (The Great Journey). He is the voice of reason in a forest of the faceless masses shouting "me too" and "I want it all now". Dyna the Calm, Confident Hand, The Voice of Reason in a world that moves at light-speed, making it's own rules along the way.

     It is really pretty simple at it's core. Build the system from the ground up to be Best in Class. The end goal is ALWAYS to be Best in Class. The most important "Dynaspeak" (write this down):

    Do things others can't or won't. Explains it all.

Awesome post!

Staying calm (thinking before reacting), in itself, will set DNotes apart from others.  

We are either ruled by love or fear. We can quit when things get tough or we can soldier on up the path of Greatness. Now is the time to consolidate, regroup, be laser focused and more determined than ever. What we need to be doing in Crypto in general is uniting more and fudding less. Contributing more in any capacity we can and "dumping" less. The DNOTES strategy is flawless and the Vault is it's crowning glory. Why? Simply because having a savings mechanism in place before merchant adoption occurs is the wisest course of action. When merchants get paid they will not need to dump all their DNOTES for Dollars but they will be able to amass a portion of their profits in DNOTES because it will provide both stability and liquidity. This plan though needs our support and loyalty and now is the time to make Crypto - especially DNOTES a household name. Dnotes isn't run by a scammy Dev. DNOTES Team and members don't fud other coins or disrespect anyone. Dnotes isn't a pump and dump coin. Dnotes isn't manipulated by a bunch of pump groups and Whales. DNOTES is the true Embodiment and expression of our LOVE for Crypto..So I have decided to let my life be ruled by love not Fear. So what path will you decide to take?

Wow! You said it so well, for once, I have nothing to add.

That is correct and we do not charge a fee. In addition, DNotes is the only one offering CR.I.S.P. to encourage savings for everyone, rich or poor, to have the opportunity to benefit from the potential high returns of digital currency over the long term. DNotes will be successful not because we positioned ourselves to do one thing very well, while neglecting the others. Every attempt is made to score high marks in every category. We may not get a 10/10 score in any category. But a consistent 9/10 across the board will give us the chance to be the winner of the year.
