Trying out a new article format on DCEBrief and would like to hear everyone's comments. The idea is to cover the most important news of the week. I think it would be a good way to cover more important topics, while we ramp up DCEBrief. Bitcoin Weekly Recap 10-9-2015http://dcebrief.com/bitcoin-weekly-recap-10-9-2015/We will also have one for blockchain and digital currency as a whole. I really like that format. It's great to have a weekly roundup for people that don't want to check each day to see who has said what about crypto in the last week. I like that the articles for the most part are 'informational' rather than just news, people walk away having learned something. This is sometimes combined with news pieces, so it isn't just straight reporting as such. Fantastic! How about that - it is of great value to me personally too, because I no longer have the time to read every industry article. This is perfect, and as always, Ken did an outstanding job. Keep that up Ken and it will be my must visit site for Executive Briefing!!! Probably a good thing that we played it straight then. So much for my idea of doing a Daily Show version of the news... Probably, though a daily show version would have been fun. We won't likely has as many items for the blockchain and digital currency versions, but I'm sure they should be great as well. Not having much luck creating the social media flyer design as of yet. Soon as I do, I will be ready to launch the campaign. |

Mastercard vs. Bitcoin (Round 6 or 7, who knows??) Mastercard may have a new and friendlier face for this battle, but the facts just don't add up. "Cairns said digital currency will certainly be part of the ecosystem. "I mean you already have them in various countries around the world, Mint in Canada for instance - that's a regulated currency." No, it's not. First of all, it was called MintChip, and secondly, it never progressed past the development stage. The program was cancelled in April, 2014 after two years of trying (government style - lol) to make it work. Here's a good one: "Cairns pointed out to IBTimes that there isn't a "considerable amount of fraud" on credit card transactions. "It's a very low percentage," she said. "But you want to get it to be absolutely minimal." Seriously?? There may be only a small number of massive credit card fraud cases like the one committed on Target, but that is not the only kind of fraud that occurs with credit cards. According to the 2014 Cybersource Fraud Benchmark Report, 60% of chargebacks are disputed by merchants. Some merchants don't bother, because they don't have the time to fight it. Care to guess how many of those chargebacks are customers committing fraud by denying that they received the purchase, or that it was 'broken', etc? Fraud is fraud. There is probably more fuzzy facts in this article. These two just grabbed my attention. MasterCard talks tokenisation, Bitcoin and biometricshttp://www.ibtimes.co.uk/mastercard-talks-tokenisation-bitcoin-biometrics-1522674I think the bottom line is that just about anything available in the card network will/can also be available for the cryptocurrency networks. I know they are trying to improve technology and reduce fraud, they have been for years, but I feel like they need to look more closely at the potential of cryptocurrency. It could lighten the security load, reduce fraud, provide more consumer protections, and reduce overall fees. |

As fast as I can type:
Australia's crypto scene was shockingly weak before the banks' attack began. Many sources -- gotta note Coindesk -- have repeatedly published articles with unsoundly rosy conclusions.
Australia makes a fine testing-ground for this model, a collusion of bankers (vested interests) against the generally positive position of the . . . whatchamacallit . . . actual regulatory bodies.
IMZ has taken plenty of flack over time for our hillbilly commitment to a cryptocurrency dynamic that consciously keeps one foot firmly in the P2P arena. We are not disrespectful of communities like Dnotes', which are compliance-committed; but we do see a need to cover all bases.
We are sleeping on mattresses by our keyboards, trying yet again to contact active Oz krypto geeks, to get up-to-date info.
Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia
And Cryptsy, eh!!??
Mark, we have great respect for what you (edit: and your team) are doing as well. It is a different approach and we should face digital currency acceptance on all fronts. Mark, you and your team have our full support. I hope Australia's setback is temporary. To quote the crew of the Galactica, "So say we all." Welcome to DNotes, KC. We can use all the support to make a difference. I appreciate the welcome. I hope you'll feel free to call me "Ken."  Yeah, that "Ken" ... still swamped and catching up after a week of unavoidable distractions, but wanted to stop by and say "hello" to everyone. Thanks Ken! Ken is a writer for DCEBrief, a supporter of what DNotes is doing, and has been a huge help in many our latest projects including the latest press release. We really appreciate everything Ken is doing. Hey welcome Ken, love the "How I learned to stop worrying and love digital money" article. Forwarded that on to a couple friends who didn't care much about cryptocurrency, and some of them now have brought it up a few times when we were talking. Thanks, Kanus. I wish I could take sole credit for it, but I have to give Joe his rightful due. It was he who provided the topic idea, after all. And, of course, Chris deserves praise for adding the first four words to the title. The final title was much more enticing than my original, but that is no surprise. Chris' titles are always attention-grabbers. The entire team at dcebrief has been unbelievably helpful... It is heartening to hear that the piece has been of some small use, so thanks for that. Most of our accomplishments were achieved through solid strategy and execution by way of collaboration and team effort. I hope the press release reaches many people who share our vision and enthusiasm. Whether they do or they don't won't stop us though, it will only determine how fast we can ramp up, the key to our success will be continuing to make progress. |

Have you guys seen this one? It's a bit long but give a once over. US Law Commission to Debate Model Digital Currency Bill in DCThe Uniform Law Commission (ULC), a nonprofit dedicated to creating consistency among US state laws, is set to discuss a draft version of a model law meant to guide states in the formation of regulation for virtual currencies such as bitcoin this week. Set to take place from 9th to 11th October at the Hyatt Regency in Washington, DC, the three-day event will bring together the ULC's Study Committee on Alternative and Mobile Payment Systems for discussions on specifics of the bill's current provisions, including its recommendations to state legislatures on capital requirements and the cost of licensing. Originally tasked with considering the need for more uniform state legislation on alternative and mobile payment systems in 2014, the group eventually chose digital currencies as its area of emphasis. Ultimately, the first version of the draft bill puts forth a set of initial recommendations for how entities operating "trusted intermediaries" in the digital currencies space should be licensed across the US so that requirements are more consistent. Pillsbury Winthrop attorney Marco Santori, who will be in attendance at the meeting, suggested the goal is to create a law that would do for digital currencies what the Uniform Money Services Act (UMSA) did for money transmission laws. [...] At the time, the committee called for the ULC to expedite its draft regulation process citing the increasing number of brands and consumers seeking to engage in digital currency transactions, as well as actions by groups such as the Conference of State Bank Supervisors to issue similar guidance to state regulators. The agency said its goal was to strike a "balance between a law enacted in 53 jurisdictions but flexible enough not to frustrate innovation". "Because virtual currencies do not enjoy comparable statutory or regulatory underpinnings to other payments systems, the states are under pressure to act," the group wrote. Further highlighting the need for swift action, the group argued, was that California, New York, North Carolina, Kansas and Texas were already considering enacting regulatory schemes, which it suggested could be disparate in their composition. http://www.coindesk.com/ulc-debate-digital-currency-regulation/ |

Bitcoin flounders in Australia as regulatory worries bite http://www.businessinsider.com/r-bitcoin-flounders-in-australia-as-regulatory-worries-bite-2015-10The elasticity and expansion-potential surrounding bitcoin has been perceived as too unpredictable and dangerous for the banks of Australia. The country’s involvement of bitcoin has undergone a serious transformation: from optimism and positive involvement to “…[closing] the accounts of 13 of the country’s 17 bitcoin exchanges”(Kaye & Pandey). What was once a hotspot for digital currency exchange seems to be giving in to the fears that unfortunately still exist for this innovative electronic currency. It is important to acknowledge the fluctuations that come along with newly surfaced currencies, but a malleable system like bitcoin does not mean it is likely to carry with it negative results. This kind of flexibility and freedom is why bitcoin was, and continues to be such a success. The limiting barriers that typically restrain highly engrained visions of money hold no power over bitcoin. Welcome to the DNotes thread Wyattwhynot! Please feel free to join us and share your comments any time. These type of restraints are temporary, the world is changing. |

I don't recall ever seeing this site before: Money's Edge: The Center of Internet Finance News - http://www.moneysedge.com/ If it's new, it looks like they are off to a good start, but their "Top 50 Digital Currencies" could use a little work. DNotes Announces New Company Launch in 2016 To Integrate The Currency, Payment System, and Blockchain - http://www.moneysedge.com/newsimage?id=589Interesting find. I haven't heard of them yet either. Looks like their top 50 is data pulled from coingecko. |

Bitcoin Alternative DNotes Announces New Company Launch in 2016 To Integrate The Currency, Payment System, and Blockchainhttp://bitcoinschannel.com/bitcoin-alternative-dnotes-announces-new-company-launch-in-2016-to-integrate-the-currency-payment-system-and-blockchain/The press release is fantastic and the best to date!! Why should you invest in DNotes? This article should give you enough reasons why.  I had a '30 second elevator pitch' the other day and while I do need to improve it, the person wrote a few things down and was going to check it out. It was a great encounter with a very receptive and intelligent woman who was impressed with DNotes philosophy. I can talk pretty fast when I am excited about something, so I did manage to give her quite a bit of information in a short time. When Yahoo Finance carries it, I am going to email the press release to her office - it is perfect timing to supply some added info. I think eventually everyone will start to hear the name DNotes over and over and realize that they seriously need to look into it. Great job!!! That's excellent Chase! Keep us in the loop and let us know if there are any unanswered questions or anything we can clarify, especially when dealing with someone new to DNotes. We love to know how we can improve. |

Excellent! Hard to believe DCEBrief is just over a month old and doing fantastic.
Same here Marc, it has only been a month and it is already taking off. We have been very fortunate to have found so many talented people and help from our community. This press release, and next one to come, are the big ones and should provide some insight into where we are heading. |
