This is disappointing, Taiwan declares Bitcoin illegal essentially because of a kidnapping that used Bitcoin for the ransom. Why don't they declare TWD illegal? I'm sure that is used in all other criminal activity.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-declared-illegal-in-taiwan/



Youch, that is a bit harsh. I thought Taiwan was fairly friendly when it came to digital currency. I'm not sure how that will be helpful for the Taiwanese people. I'm sure this won't stop criminals from using digital currency, but will certainly prevent the average person from using it and prevent business and technology development in Taiwan.

I agree, quite harsh. I am sure there will be backlash and this will be reversed. I can only hope otherwise another bad press story on cryptocurrency. I do wish NEWS would report the good as well as the bad, but alas bad NEWS is what sells.


The Taiwanese government should have read the DNotes Educational Guide.  One of the questions in the quiz is: "Blaming bitcoin for criminal activity is like blaming kidnapping on cash."  True / False  

Even if the government official had answered false incorrectly, the app would have corrected their misconceptions.   Just saying...   Wink

You hit the nail directly on it's head! These types of reactions are caused by a lack of education and fear/suspicion of the unknown in almost all cases. People such as the Taiwan government official don't know what Bitcoin is but, they know it is associated with crime and criminal activity so, they fear it. And fear brings irrational, knee jerk decision making. We have seen this time and time again throughout history.

So, what can we do about it? Simple, educate those who have power but lack understanding. We have a great vehicle in DCEBrief and we need to continue to get the word out. Perhaps, along with the "Regulation" header, we could add a header for world leaders where articles would specifically deal with not over reacting to every crime using Bitcoin or other digital currency. Perhaps a focused, advertised and well placed section for world leaders would pick up some readership from those who actually make the rules and who's knee jerk reactions can easily affect the entire globe including financial markets in other countries.

And, remember Mr. Tseng Ming-chung, when you "ban" something, then only the criminals will be free to use it. It doesn't work the way you think it does. Looks like Taiwan's citizens are not as free as mainland China's citizens. Might want to think about that for a moment...



Though it's a negative headline, I've asked Thomas to write an article about this on DCEBrief, so DCEBrief can weigh in on it a little. It also warrants an update to the DCEBrief writers guide.

What would you label such a header?

Welcome to Cryptopia NOTE!

Looking forward to seeing you at the NOTE/UNO market.



Thanks BitcoinNational, good to see you again. Cryptopia may drive some new interest to find out what DNotes is all about. It has a good amount of traffic and lots of great tools and features.

One thing that came to my attention is a potential need to clarify what CryptoMoms is all about and how it will evolve.

Digital currency doesn't necessarily benefit women any more than it benefits men, we know all the benefits of digital currency and what it can do for humanity, so I don't need to go into those details. The point is that it will benefit women and women's small business. Our goal with CryptoMoms was to create a friendly environment to encourage and assist women to participate in the emerging world of cryptocurrency. However, it doesn't stop there, CryptoMoms, the site as it is now is merely the first step or initial phase for this concept.

The future of the CryptoMoms concept will be to expand the CryptoMoms site and offer tools and useful features to further that mission and create a for profit company around the concept as part of DNotes business model. We also intend to participate in women's small business to help and assist them. There may be a parent company to CryptoMoms, under the DNotes umbrella, with a different name that is more attractive to organizations interested in progressing women's small business, and could work to help women's small business with cost effective business loans and assist in building business plans and the like.

That is just part of the vision for CryptoMoms and how it may evolve. I hope that helps to paint a clearer picture of the objective. It's more about what can the CryptoMoms concept do to encourage and assist woman.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about the CryptoMoms concept, and women's small business, to become the representative and face of CryptoMoms as part of our next steps. It could take a while to find the right fit for this, but that won't stop the progress of the CryptoMoms concept.

Yeah DNotes is IN !!  Grin --- DOT vote winner(s): AuroraCoin(AUR) & DNotes Coin(NOTE)

In this week maybe see DNotes listed, and later comes the pool, block explorer, etc,,

Wow really we save a lot, we win with 450k DOT votes last time i see, and for future coins to enter with DOT votes need 5000k DOT. Thanks for help. Im really happy have DNotes in Cryptopia, its very young and special place.

Come in to dig or just trade https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/ they are running crazy reward system, just mining can make a nice portfolio of a lot of coins thanks to rewards. haha soon can dig DNotes there.


Great! They appear to be pretty popular in New Zealand and Venezuela and offer a variety of tools (Mining, Explorer, Arbitrage Comparison, Exchange, Among other Coin Info). They also have a fairly large mining network.

I don't know about everyone else, but something that really interests me is the future of cryptocurrency in space. Imagine being able to make secure payments to the furthest reaches of our solar system, utilizing satellite nodes orbiting every planet.

We'll be able to extract rare resources, and send them back to earth. Seamlessly exchanging them for Digital currency, which workers on other planets can either save or spend. They would likely purchase goods collectively, to save money on shipping and handling. Right now it takes 130 days for a high speed transport vessel to reach Mars, but the time will obviously decrease as our technology improves; Making a solar system wide economy completely possible.

I know this sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but it isn't as far off as you may think...

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoins-space-bitsat-protect-bitcoins-future-orbit/

You're among open minded friends here CryptoBroker. What I found interesting is having nodes in space on the Bitsat system, and the potential benefits and security. Digital currency has no borders or boundaries, if we can go there, so can digital currency, and it might even go places we cannot one day. Very interesting share.

Started reaching out to potential influential guest posters for DCEBrief, for the mutual benefit of promoting DCEBrief as well as the individual. if you have anyone in mind that you would like to hear from or feel like would be a good fit, let me know.

Also, plan to have a section dedicated to guest authors, much like the existing list of authors.



Starting tomorrow, Bitcoin.com is having the largest "Ask Me Anything" all-star event ever, on their new forum.  They have a very impressive list of guests, some of which may be great guest posters for DCEBrief.  There is a new guest everyday and it looks like it may go till Christmas.

"all star cast of players in the Bitcoin ecosystem to do Q&A sessions on forum.bitcoin.com"  - https://forum.bitcoin.com/announces/bitcoin-com-ama-event-full-schedule-t1665.html


The Bitcoin.com Forum’s All-Star AMA Event  - https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-com-forums-star-ama-event/


Thoughts on this anyone??




Impressive guest list and a great idea, especially when a lot of Bitcoin ventures are rebranding, away from "Bitcoin" to Blockchain or Cryptocurrency by association. VC funding for "Bitcoin" seems to be drying up too. Our industry is still at its infancy. Any market development is good for all of us.

Oops, unable to connect to the site. Sounds like a great idea though.

Thank you for the kind words and support Qiwoman, MWC, and Mati! DNotes philosophy relies heavily on the concept that in order to become successful it must be mutually beneficial to all.

Also, ran across this article (http://forklog.net/comparison-between-proof-of-work-proof-of-stake/) today on forklog comparing POS and POW algorithms in relation to security. Very interesting read. When POS really started to take off, we recognized the benefits but also the downfalls and how they would impact our long term strategy. Ultimately deciding POW is, at the time, the best for DNotes, but who knows what the future may hold.


Yes, a very interesting article. I personally like POS above POW due to specific reasons, but for the most security a hybrid of the two is the best.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!

The POS system does have advantages in mining and distribution, making the mining process widely available to anyone with a computer. Which we would love to have for DNotes supporters.

I think you are correct, looking at the current landscape, a hybrid solution is very intriguing. Do you know of any coins currently utilizing a good hybrid solution offering both a decent stake and decent POW mining reward?

Have you all seen this or familiar with Tangle?
http://cointelegraph.com/news/115508/iota-a-blockchain-less-gasp-token-for-the-internet-of-things?ref=45

It is interesting. Tangle (http://188.138.57.93/tangle.pdf) appears to use a distributed ledger and weighted transaction confirmation approach. I've heard of similar approaches, which still have the issue of dealing with double spending. I'm surprised they would use this approach for the IOT stuff, but it may make sense when dealing micro transactions on a massive scale and specifically on somewhat closed networks.

There have been some interesting developments and possibilities in side chains for handling transactions weaving in and out of blockchain. It seems like that would be better way to approach this massive micro transaction issue.

At any rate, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
