Another area of interest that I have been thinking about is an ecommerce site that will be useful for DNotes and upcoming company. We have some ideas to make it attractive for using DNotes, but we also need to consider making it easier to use, less burdensome, and high traffic. If you have any ideas regarding:
Where can we start that will be easily scaleable into a full blown ecommerce site?
What can we do to make it easy for merchants to participate?
How can we make it more attractive to merchants over using eBay/Amazon?
If you prefer to email your ideas, rather than make them public you can shoot me an email as well.
Well, as an ebay seller and buyer and frequent user of Amazon, only one thing REALLY stands out in my mind: Keep It Simple! There are so many rules covering selling on those sites that you really don't know what you have agreed to when you sign up and it's even worse if you actually sell something. Also, am I right in thinking we are not focusing on making a large profit from the sellers and buyers but looking push DNotes acceptance and value with these sites? If so, keep any fees low and simple with easy to understand terms. Pretend it's a face to face meeting place where one person sells something to another. No multi page agreements, no escape clauses, no endless protective wording and required formats, etc. Keep the structure flexible, not rigid. Let parties agree to their own terms and don't limit them to only a few payment methods. Some of the things ebay got wrong include: (some items below apply to auction style listings) 1. Limited payment options. Still no Crypto and Paypal hasn't included it either. 2. Pages of legal terms that you agree to without realizing what have agreed to. 3. Rigid selling and buying structure. If you don't fit the mold, you will not have a good experience. 4. Required structure for resolving disputes. Sometimes nothing applies. Would rather work it out outside of ebay at times. ebay is not my mother, I can work with the other guy and resolve as we see fit. 5. Seller and buyer ratings. This may sound like a good thing but, it really isn't. Most feedback is crap and if some doesn't like you they can make real trouble for you. 6. High selling fees and a percentage of the final sale can really kill you on marginal items with expensive shipping. Flat rates would be fine if we are pushing DNotes use. 7. Easy and simple site. It doesn't need to complicated. People should be able to get in and out quickly. 8. Have some form of reporting system for bad actors but allow (if you are considering auctions) but keep it simple and personal. No "feedback scores" Perhaps an overall satisfaction rating. On the other hand, Amazon does a pretty good job of selling without much BS involved. Following the basic structure of their business model would not hurt.  My 2 cents... Thanks RJF, that is a very well thought out post and I agree on every point, being an eBay/Amazon seller myself. It will be for profit and rolled into the upcoming company, but it shouldn't require such hefty fees. If fact, the profit model has been an ongoing topic of discussion, how it should be structured without hindering business while making it make sense as a business and for potential investors. There are many aspects of why. To support and continue growing the company which will in turn help support DNotes the currency. Help grow the DNotes economy in multiple ways. Build relationships with small business and help them grow with DNotes and our programs. We also have a passion for commerce, small business, and optimization. |

Dear Friends, I wish to bye Bitcoins and exchange it into Dnotes, what is the best and reliable site to do so (I'm going to pay by credit card in USD). Thank You (ok now i see there are instructions on Dnotes's site) Found a pretty interesting article that grabbed my attention when looking for news for the DC recap. "Smart Business Owners Embrace Bitcoin" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jamil-bouchareb/smart-business-owners-emb_b_8535524.html"Bitcoin is the answer we've been waiting for to our monetary problems, especially internationally. When purchasing, selling, or transferring money between countries, big fees always stand in the way. We're forced to stalk exchange rates to hopefully get the best deal. Hell, even when we keeping our money within the country, big banks always find a way to slap us with fees. They need to make money too, right? That's where the beauty of Bitcoin shines. People aren't at the center of this ingenious structure; instead, a powerful network of computers and complicated algorithms run the entire system. Thus, there is no entity, like a bank or government, running the system. Bitcoin is run completely by its users. This will help us take back our control over the money we work hard for. We will be able to use our funds to our best capabilities, without paying the middleman." Thought about this the other day, how many times do products are exchanged for money before a product reaches the consumer, and how much of that final price is the result of transaction fees. The impact on the price of products is probably fairly significant. From material harvesting, to manufacturing and the potential chain of manufacturing and transportation, to all the middle men along the way, and finally to consumer sales. " Many see Bitcoin's main downfall as its unpredictability, especially in its value converted to U.S. dollars. At the moment, it stands just over $350 for one Bitcoin, but it has fluctuated from $7 to over $1,000. Bitcoin is a risk, I won't deny that -- but, as an entrepreneur, I'm used to taking risks. I have to, just like every other investor. And once Bitcoin stabilizes, the rewards will be worth the ride." This is one of the biggest issues we see as well, minimizing unreliability will be an important part of strategy. Coinbase may not be available in your area to obtain bitcoin. It would be interesting to let us know how your experience goes though. You may want to check into the credibility of this site for obtaining bitcoin: https://www.bit2c.co.il |

We believe education of the masses is key to bringing digital currency to the mainstream and the DNotes Educational Guide is a great place to start learning… Do not look to your bank or some other financial institution for advice or education, they do not really like the idea of a decentralized digital currency and are doing their best to downplay Bitcoin right now… If you want accurate information from a well respected and trusted source in the community the DNotes Educational Guide can provide you with all of the information you need to get started with digital currency.

This article is a bit older, but a very interesting read on what it could take push bitcoin into the mainstream. "Here's the X-factor That Could Launch a Bitcoin Boom" It's a great idea and worth giving it some thought. http://fortune.com/2015/11/04/bitcoin-boom-hero-app/Enthusiasm for the technology behind the cryptocurrency is rising. What does it need to go mainstream? A ‘hero app’ Brian Forde admits that bitcoin isn’t a no-brainer. Right now it’s hard for most people to grasp the vast potential in the technology behind it, allows the director of digital currency at the MIT Media Lab. “Having this cryptocurrency is kind of a weird idea,” said Forde, who was previously a senior advisor for technology at the White House. “It’s hard to explain.” But he believes the technology could quickly break into the mainstream with one development: a “hero app.” Someone needs to create “that killer app that all of you are dying to download,” said Forde, just like Uber very quickly made the idea of what Forde called “digital hitchhiking” mainstream. |
