The DNotes market report for Monday, May 28, 2018

Since CoinMarketcap does not recognize any active DNotes markets, and our only market right now is NLexch (not recognized by CMC), I am reporting what's going on with that market once a day so that we can all be apprised of the current market price for DNotes.

I'm also participating as a buyer trying to accumulate more DNotes with minimal impact on the market. My strategy is to place limit buy orders and only buy the sell side when I see an order that is significantly lower than the next ask price until the gap between bid and ask closes.

We again saw two distinct periods of market action--around 1:00 AM MDT and then around 3:00 PM with some small trades made through around 8:00 PM.

We also seem to have found a price floor at 299 Sathoshi, as several times over the past two days I had buy orders at 298 and down, 299, 300 and up, and my 299 and 300 and up orders would get completely filled but my 298 order would not be touched. I still have standing buy orders at 298 just to make sure. The bulk of the trades today happened at 299 and 300 Satoshi putting the price at 0.021374 USD. However, the high price today is 400 and the last price is 375, or 0.026717 USD. Currently highest bid is 325 and lowest ask is 375. Twenty-four hour volume cracked 100,000 NOTE, and right now sits at 103,891.45 NOTE. This is the first time I have seen more than 100,000 NOTE volume since I began tracking this.

If you would like to buy BTC to be able to buy DNotes (or for any other reason), I would like to recommend GDAX. GDAX is the exchange built by Coinbase. You use the exact same login procedure and you can instantly add funds to your GDAX account from your Coinbase walelts. You can also withdraw to your Coinbase wallets as well as other options including directly to an address of your choice. Not only is GDAX a well laid out and functioning exchange, but you can do all your trading and withdrawing on it with no fees. If you use Coinbase to buy/sell Bitcoin, you will be paying a lot in fees. On GDAX, as long as your trades start out as limit orders, you get charged no fees at all. Leon Redinger on the Telegram channel told me about GDAX' no fee trading, so now I'm passing along the info.

Hi Amadeus, block 86400 will be the cutoff and block 96480 will be payout. We are currently at block, 79081, so getting close, but the estimate is less than 2 weeks. The CRISP payments will show up in your DNotesVault account immediately after the payout is complete. The payout, as of now, should complete within 1 block, but in the future it could take multiple blocks to complete. Will update the estimates in the FAQ's.

DNotes to be listed on CryptalDash Exchange

We have been talking to the great people at CryptalDash exchange, and have arranged for DNotes to be listed on June 19, 2018 when they complete their beta phase. In the negotiation process CryptalDash proved very professional, and we believe that they could well grow very quickly to become one of the major exchanges.

Received an update from Cryptopia:

They have requested an additional 48 hours to get back to us with further information on our listing. As soon as we have further information, we will let everyone know. Thank you for patience!

Apparently there were some updates to the code recently (May 13 2018 - 5 days ago)

but still despite the fact that this coin has amazing technological advantages i would consider it dead.
Poloniex purposely has the wallet offline for more than a year while bittrex delisted it......facts are not optimistic in here.

We know everyone is anxiously awaiting news from Cryptopia, we have just at this moment reached out to Cryptopia and will post a response as soon as we receive it.

Thank you for sharing, Amadeus82. I trust that you are correct - "it should not be long until DNotes will also finally get listed."

Hi, Amadeus82. Your points are well taken. It is disappointing to see DNotes listing placed on hold a day before it was supposed to be listed.  We may never know for sure what happened. I trust that my letter could help them reach a legal opinion beyond any reasonable doubts that, like Bitcoin, DNotes is not a “security” but a “token” because it has never been used as an investment funding vehicle to raise capital.

All,

2 Days away from Cryptopia making DNotes 2.0 available for purchase. There are a few things that I want to share with you. If you go all the way back to page 1 of this Forum you will see the same names posting from DNotes that you see today. You are never asking "where is the Dev?".  This team is committed to the project and it's costumers more than any other coin I have researched. When you research you are supposed to look for  a Quality product, project, team, goal, customer service, family, etc. Look no further. They have made it easy for us to research DNotes. Above are the products available for you to research. I am not a part of the DNotes team but am part of the family and just want to make sure that everyone else has an opportunity to get their hands on the future. Thank you DNotes! The Future starts today!

A Public Message to YoBit: You are Taking Advantage of Unsuspecting Users

YoBit, your decision to continue trading the now-defunct DNotes V1 is causing harm to your exchange users - some of whom may be unaware that DNotes recently upgraded to DNotes 2.0. You have failed to provide a single warning about the upgrade, and have made no effort to minimize user confusion. This does serious harm to the industry, its customers, and your exchange's brand.

It is unfair for you to continue to take advantage of those users by allowing them to purchase or trade coins on a blockchain that we no longer support. These customers have placed their trust in your company, and you are doing them a grave disservice by failing to delist the old version of DNotes.

We urge you to halt all trading of DNotes V1 immediately, and take action to delist the coin.

To YoBit exchange users looking to trade DNotes:

Please be advised that DNotes no longer provides support for DNotes V1, as that coin has been upgraded to DNotes 2.0. Newly purchased DNotes cannot be swapped for DNotes 2.0. While we will continue to bend over backwards to ensure that our supporters and all other legitimate DNotes holders can exchange their old DNotes for DNotes 2.0, there are technical limitations which prevent us from assisting those who purchase DNotes from YoBit.

We value our community and our industry, and do not want to see any of you taken advantage of in this manner. We urge each of you to do your due diligence before purchasing any digital currency.

Hi Amadeus82, the risk exposure is limited to your ability to ensure the computer you are staking on is safe. The points of risk are: When you create the wallet, before it is encrypted, and when you enter your encryption password. Most people are willing to assume some risk, using simple security methods to limit their exposure, such as: Make multiple backups of encrypted wallets. Ensure you have up to date antivirus / antimalware. Turn off the wifi when entering passwords. Keeping the kids off the PC you are staking on. Or even having a fairly clean and updated pc just for staking.

You can develop methods to eliminate pretty much all of the risk, but the processes can be cumbersome and quite technical. There are many possibilities, but here is one example:
Have a dedicated PC with a boot up clean boot CD or USB image. Boot from the clean image of your OS with no connection to the internet. Create your wallet. Encrypt your wallet. Backup your wallet to a USB drive. Load your wallet and unlock for staking. Connect to the internet. Send in your coins. Each time you have to re-enter the password,  you boot from the clean image with the internet off, and enter the password offline, and only then turn on the internet.
