Greeks love paper money, no space for DNotes or other digital currency/money there.  For exporters industries i think a big way there

CFPs contact you but not buy one Dnotes? ... interesting


The mess that Greece is currently in, it is already too late to expect any space for DNotes or other digital currencies, at least in any large scale.

The curiosity of CFPs and other investment professionals to learn more about DNotes is clearly on an up trend. This investment class do not react fast. They are paid to move cautiously.

It is still a very good sign that they are interested and making connections now. The time will come when they will be making recommendations to invest in digital currency to their clients.
2922  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - DCEBrief Digital Currency Executive Brief Coming Soon! on: August 06, 2015, 02:40:01 PM


I wish to Stretch a little bit the borders of definition and  characteristics regarding DC (digital currency), in attempt to find this field's frame, and to make a step toward being clear picture and issue other than being abstract and strange.

long way was made by the national currencies toward being non abstract to the crowd/users view. it was so long and so succesful way, that now there isn't need any more to keep gold in amount of the printed money, and this is enough and widely accepted to full the market with Illustrated paper with the name of money.
now is the time of DC toward being accepted on users view. once this is acceptable that coin in general can be only expression of consent, the DC don't have to make long way, but still it must do a significant way, as the bitcoin did - when it's founder recognized the crowd's wishing for such independent and up -of- nationality coin and deliver it. all the coins that come after the bitcoin need to define this field in more details and to recognize more needs. the real tough game started

No doubt that the global population of earth - are wishing to say something significant - by the the creation of the the new technology: the internet, the bitcoin -for example . as for my view the say is: we are breaking the limits of nationality. we go toward global world, global publicity, global economy, global culture. I will not be surprised if the new Features after the DC will be regarded to culture, global culture

In these means the DC is one puzzle on a big picture. the huge move of earth's residents

but breaking of nationality doesn't say that the new features of humans life  must come without any institutions. because such view is against the nature of humans.
all people, global and nationals need institutions. it is the same as to breath.

in these means, the internet is not institution, but it is a platform for the neo institution: social ones, culture ones and economic ones.

that's why i think that the first definition of the DC must be with the creation of EGE - which is "earth global economy". such institution can be created by all the coin's teams of the all current DC, which will meet at New York, and start to make the new rules of the new money and the new global economy up-of-nationality.

 I guess that it will not take too much time til the national economic institutions will make a contact with the new institution to create cooperation between the old and the new. such move will give immediatly a image of non abstract to the DC that are part of the new institution.

Now, the present contact between the national currency and DC, is through the bitcoin. with the creation of EGE, the contact will be directly by exchange platforms.

The current form of DC of non-any-touch, no-interests, non-any-broker - expresses the public will to reject the nationality phenomenon of corruption, and not only the  rejection of borders and nationalism expression. that is why the EGE must make clear rules against any digital coin that might break the nature of non any touch, non any broker -and not any privilege access to the coin system

I guess that even the current nature of  non physical contact with the virtual DC, still people, or at least the current generation, need some physical contact with it's money, that's why it is needed to create a system in any digital wallet - which will be able to print a designed bill that describe the total amount of the coins in the wallet, and 2-3 witnesses to this transaction from the chain. validity of the document will be subject to addition digital account approval ,and the use of the bill will be particularly in a case of proof's needed to account that was  fade out.


Thank you Mati, that was clearly well thought out. What do you envision as the role of the EGE institution, or type of rules that would be created?

We have the ability, in a way, to print a paper wallet, sort of like a paper bill. The challenge would be validating from the recipients end it before it can be accepted, and creating a digital transfer at the time of accepting it, to prevent a double spend scenario. Very feasible a system could be created that would use the paper bill and a cell phone. Excluding technology all together from the system and just using a printed bill, would make the system more vulnerable to fraud. I do see your point though, it would open up an opportunity for an easy path to global acceptance, something to think about.

Sent in a lengthy email to Cryptsy support outlining why I think they should add DNotes and how I think it will benefit them. Not only because I feel DNotes has a strong future and a awesome team supporting it, but also for the PR value Cryptsy would receive as a result. They responded today and said they will forward the request on to their technical team, but it was likely just a copy & paste response, in fact I think I have a previous one almost exactly like it.

It will likely take more than votes to get listed there now. I hope everyone takes the time to write to Cryptsy in whatever format they have available to them, mine was simply an email to support@cryptsy.com, and state your case as to why DNotes would be a great addition to Cryptsy.



Thank you kanus and infovortice. It may take a lot of effort, if we get listed it will be worth it!

Thanks MarriedWithChildren! It is a priority for us to have an easy system to purchase DNotes with cash, the regulations are the true obstacle.

The DNotes Educational Guide press release is out! Everyone working on this guide has put a ton of time and effort into composing an easy to use resource to help the masses understand digital currency. I'd like to thank Wiser and cojack for all the hard work they've put in, and everyone else who is helping make DNotes Educational Guide the go-to resource for digital currency learning.

Free Bitcoin Education Google Play App Launched by DNotes
http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/free-bitcoin-education-google-play-app-launched-by-dnotes/

DNotes Educational Guide gives all people, even those with little to no technical background, an equal opportunity to learn about digital currency in these early stages. It features a user friendly interface, comprehensive how-to guides, definitions, helpful links, a quiz, and ongoing updates.

One of the misconceptions of digital currency is that it is only for the tech savvy. This is a new industry that will affect everyone’s lives with a massive amount of new technology, jobs, businesses, and wealth creation opportunities. There have been very few times in history when everyday people have had the chance to take part in the early stages of such revolutionary developments. It is important to learn about this early so you can make informed decisions about investing in this space as well as giving you an edge in your career as more and more recruiters are seeking digital currency expertise.

There is an overwhelming amount of fragmented knowledge out there, and we wanted to make this simple enough that people from all walks of life and from anywhere in the world, can learn about it at their own pace. According to eMarketer, “The number of smartphones worldwide will surpass 2 billion in 2016.” That figure jumps to 2.56 billion, or one third of the world’s population, in 2018. An app like this makes learning about digital currency accessible for everyone.

The need to educate will never disappear, but if ignored, the knowledge gap between innovators and everyday people may grow so large, that it will never be bridged.

Allcoin Update:

As of this morning all of my smaller transactions between 10K to 30K have been successfully completed. Transactions of 100K+ have failed. This may simply mean that they have to be manually processed. It is also takes time to transfer DNotes out of multiple cold wallets, depending on the process they have in place and whether multi-signitures are required. At this point, I am giving them the benefits of the doubt that they are just terrible communicators. Lack of communication, transparency, disclosures, basic management and leadership skills are among the many hurdles holding our industry back.

New Update:

All my transactions have been successfully completed. Please share your experience and let us know if you still have remaining issues relating to DNotes at Allcoin exchange.

     I have been able to withdraw from Allcoin also. A 90,000 DNote withdraw took a short amount of time to complete. Two other, larger (over 100,000) withdrawals took much longer, but they ALL were successfull. That is a HUGE relielf. I was thinking the worst, figured we had another Mt. Gox or mintpal on our hands. It still had a HUGE impact on the price of DNotes, as expected. Again, WHEW!!!!

Smokey

That is a relief! I was hoping they would eventually get it squared away. This is another indicator that larger amounts can't be stored on the exchanges for long periods. As much as I have said it in the past, the DNotesVault or your own cold storage, are the best places to store your coins.

Welcome to the DNotes thread Brockspeculator! Everyone here is very helpful and respectful, if you need anything, just let us know.

Why isn't Dnotes listed on bittrex.com?

We have reached out to them previously. In short, they wanted to see more 'action' on our forum and more twitter 'action'.

Frankly speaking, we would like more participation, but prefer quality over quantity.

We are working on being listed on Cryptsy, but if everyone would like to see us on bittrex, please voice your opinions.



Let's conquer the Cryptsy castle before we split our forces on more targets...

Yes, Sir! You are the Commanding Officer on this one, and we are all here to support you. If we can win every battle we engaged, we will win the war!

As DNotes said for DCEBrief, it's time for that BIG PUSH. Let's do it on Cryptsy! Getting listed there would give us a cushion against loosing any of the smaller exchanges and increase our exposure and volume. So, come on people, anti up and lets do this thing! Write in your recommendation for DNotes and keep voting!

And, Big Vern, if you are reading this Paul, we are serious about getting listed, not just playing around here. DNotes is moving on up and we want to partner with you in that journey! It will certainly benefit us both...




I agree 100% and thanks RJF for being the commander on this one. Wink

When any currency pushes as hard as DNotes does to bring new people into cryptocurrency, the whole industry benefits.  Not only do these new people entering the sphere deserve a safe place to buy and sell their coins, the rest of the community has worked very hard and deserve to have a spot on Cryptsy.

DNotes is close to the top of Cryptsy's voting list. Now is the time to let Cryptsy know you want DNotes listed on their exchange. If you haven't recently, in the last week, I would recommend opening a ticket with Cryptsy and state your case as to why DNotes should be listed.

Chase is right, we have worked very hard to get here, and I believe DNotes will be an asset to Cryptsy if it is listed there.

All,

Alan has asked that we finalize the list of DCEBrief as he is planning to circulate some draft concepts to number of authors, economists and others who may be interested in contributing.

Below is the list we have so far with some references and related content on the forum.

Let's give it one big push and see if we can't give DCEBrief an excellent start with some excellent topics.
Lets make a deadline of end of day tomorrow.


Digital Currency Regulation Recommendations - This topic has been discussed many times, the objective would be to create guidelines for regulators that would create an safe environment for users with enough freedom to allow innovation.

The Future of Digital Currency as a Payment System - This topic can discuss how digital currency might evolve as a payment system.

Does Digital Currency Meet the 3 Functions of Money? - Covering the 3 functions of money, Store of Value, Unit of Account, and Medium of exchange. It seems to be a fairly popular argument that digital currency does not meet these criteria.

Digital Currency is Backed by What!? - One of the other popular arguments is that digital currency has no real value. I do remember an article recently which wrote about it being backed by time and algorithmic functions. Inserting my own personal opinion here: We have to reevaluate what money is fundamentally, and how it works. Just like when a new discovery is made, we have to reevaluate our scientific theories. Eventually the books have to be re-written, new formulas created, and a brand new fundamental understanding is disseminated...

Digital currency education 1.0 for the Lay Masses. - Basically how to get started..

How will Digital Currency and Blockchain in general affect my business? - What effect will Digital Currency have on YOUR business / organization

What possibilities exist in the future for blockchain technology?

Why should I get involved now? How can I benefit the most by getting involved early?

Key Differences Between Digital Currency & Fiat - Self explanatory, but could be an important topic.

The Future of Digital Currency Technology - This may need to be refined into more specific topics. However the article could give people the vision of what it might look like in 5-10 years and potentially help people understand why it is important to get involved now.

How will a global currency affect your business, organization, or government? - This is a spin off of TeeGee's "What effect will Digital Currency have on YOUR business / organization"

Blockchain without Bitcoin. Can you or can't you?  Pros?  Cons? - There have been a lot of headlines on various companies, banks, etc stating that they are interested in the blockchain, but not bitcoin.  The bitcoin community replies 'you can't have one without the other'.  I think this could use a little clarity (with a positive spin). 

Current phase and future of mass adoption - Knowing where we are in the progression of mass adoption seems like an important piece of information to set expectation of getting involved today, then leading into how it will progress with a projected timeline.

Trustless, what does that really mean? - A misconception of this trustless system has led to some pain. We could discuss what the trustless system really is.

Reference:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470155.msg12020568#msg12020568
Another point of reference:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470155.msg11729364#msg11729364

Key issues in our industry:
-Volatility
-Long term saving incentive
-Negetive forum behavior
-Gender gap
-Ease of use
-Too many conflicting interests
-Attempting to reach out to everyday people
-Lack of trust and integrity
-Lack of leadership both within the industry and at the currency level
-Lack of real world experience - I think this has been the downfall of many currencies

Reference:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470155.msg11766070#msg11766070

More on key issues, found randomly throughout the forum:
-Privacy - “Accounts at a money service business or financial institution can certainly be linked to identity, but the individual coins (or coin subunits) themselves cannot be.” As quoted by Jon matonis
-The learning curve for safe entry into cryptocurrency is very steep, and a deterrent for most people.
-Fear of losing your coins using an online storage services.
-Sensational and misrepresented media about bitcoin in a negative light

What technologies are most important to the future and success of DNotes?

1 ) An easy to use merchant payment verification system that doesn't require a third party
2 ) Cloud storage of the blockchain. Wallets sync with cloud instantly and no lag time at startup. This is a centralized item, however, but would be of great benefit. Instant syncing, instant sending, etc.
3 ) Versatile tipping program for various websites and social media outlets
4 ) POS style reward system
5 ) Making DNotes secure for everyone to use no matter their situation
6 ) Instant exchange functionality for the DNotesVault
7 ) Total smartphone solution for all DNotes functionality including vault and instant exchange functionality


What major issues with the existing financial system can DNotes solve?

1 ) Instant transfers of money.
2 ) Micro transactions, under $1 are not feasible. The transaction fees make micro transactions unprofitable if not impossible.

What services are most important to the future and success of DNotes?

1 ) Direct and simple fiat to DNotes exchange.
2 ) Accessibility and Ease of Use
3 ) CLEARLY outlining benefits, programs, future of DNotes
4 ) 24/7 support
5 ) Multilingual support
6 ) Assurance of store of value
7 ) Credit/Debit Card
8 ) ATM services
9 ) Refill service for prepaid/sim cards

What major obstacles does DNotes face to achieve success?

1 ) Half of the world's population does not have banking access and is therefore excluded from participating in economic growth.
2 ) Combating and rising above the bad reputation bitcoin has (whether it is deserved or not).
3 ) Mainstream media negativity of any cryptocurrency in general.
4 ) Develop global name recognition. When people think "crypto" or "Bitcoin" now, they should simply think "DNotes" in the future.

These suggestions are more 'what the site could include as on-going sections', rather than one time articles:

How well is the industry developing? (compared to other technologies, track investment, timelines etc)

What is crypto's demographic makeup?
(extremely important for business owners to understand the behaviour of their target markets)

What companies currently accept crypto as payment that can help you business?
(listed by industry and location - Professional services, manufacturers, industry services / wallets / transactions - as verified and endorsed by DCEBrief). I believe this would lead to lots of additional traffic to the page over time, and attract participation / advertising by quality industry players on the website.

Top 10 lists... Exchanges / Online Wallets / New crypto businesses / trustworthy currencies / investors or traders / performing currencies - basically, people love those 'buzzfeed' type lists.

Traders perspective: industry outlook, price prediction, chart analysis

Partner investment firms - who actively trade a small percentage of crypto to form a part of your investment portfolio (~5%) on your behalf (potential for a DCEBrief.com managed portfolio in partner with an investment firm)

Economic outlook by continent (weekly / monthly)

Economic outlook by currency (weekly / monthly)

Urgent crypto / fiat currency / economic updates - twitter sized updates posted to a live feed (breaking news - economic / currency)

In depth crypto currency review? (I'm not sure about this one - perhaps analysis of fiat included in traders perspective section?)

Crypto / economic Glossary - (definitions - POS, POW, staking, blockchain, ROI, wallet, vault etc )

In focus: Crypto personalities - Who are the main players in crypto? (interview them - weekly column)

Crowdfunding - the future of investment?

What implications do decentralized systems like crypto mean for political and/or banking structures? How can it improve these structures / affect their relevance? (could upset some top level execs if they viewed is as a threat though... Still, it's a very relevant topic)

Investment log (Who is investing?) - tracking crypto investment from the news, with yearly tracking and predicted final tally.

Daily headlines - With members on all sides of the globe, it shouldn't be too difficult to have this continually updated considering we always have community members awake 24/7 somewhere in the world.

Will continue to post more if I think of them.





The coming change in the job market:  Must have digital currency knowledge and experience.

The race for global dominance in digital currency / blockchain technology.  Which country will win?


******************

Is there anything in the 5 quotes in this article that sparks an idea for anyone?  I think most governments could use a little transforming.  Grin

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gregoryferenstein/2015/07/29/former-obama-tech-advisor-explains-how-bitcoin-could-transform-government-in-5-quotes/:

1. Bitcoin’s Tech Could Have Big Impact On The Most In Need
“Digital currencies have immense potential to improve human welfare by strengthening the capacity of governments to deliver more responsive services and secure the rights of their citizens to property, identity and increase financial inclusion…And because it is an open-source protocol for innovation, a wide range of services and products can be built by entrepreneurs and non-profits on top of it.”

2. Why Is Bitcoin More Than Currency?
“Digital currencies like bitcoin are the network of transactions. If you think bitcoin is just for money transfer, that’s like thinking the internet was only built for email – today we know that internet is used for so many more applications. The true innovation that bitcoin solved was the elimination of the “double-spend.”

3. Example 1: Banks
“More than 2 billion adults around the world do not have access to a bank account. Without a connection to the financial support services that typically accompany formal bank accounts, the unbanked have very limited access to the savings and borrowing mechanisms necessary to drive broad-based economic growth.”

4. Example 2: Security
“Today we practice a lot of authentication theatre. Your government issued identity, for example, starts out in a database of a government agency. It’s then printed out in the form of a social security card, driver’s license, birth certificate or passport…. $24 billion in identity theft occurs annually because corporations treat your social security number as a user name and a password.”

5. Are Senior Folks Taking It Seriously?
“Similar to CEOs of large companies and non-profits, I’ve found officials in governments around the world interested to learning about the technology and how they can apply it to address the social issues affecting people in their communities.”


Everyone has done an excellent job with DCEBrief, making further contributions is a tough task. Nevertheless here are my suggestions:

- Security precautions people can take to keep their funds safe.

- Current cyber threats and how to avoid them.

- Polls/Voting on important issues. To gather data for marketing analysis, as TeeGee suggested.

Bringing this back to the front of the forum. End of day today will be the initial deadline, but of course we will continue with further contributions afterwards.

I don't usually harp on price but, nice recovery underway. I think this shows that DNotes has matured and will be even more stable going forward. The ability to absorb large swings in supply and demand, especially "sell off" volume, shows that DNotes users, for the most part, are mature investors who understand the long term value of their investment and are much less interested in making a "quick buck" in the short term. Ever forward, ever upward...

29   DNotes    $ 1,589,531   $  0.015570   102,089,349 NOTE   $ 2,705   +7.97 %   


Well said RJF, we are very fortunate to have attracted many like minded, mature investors. In this environment, I feel that is a great accomplishment.

Also, made it to #2 on Cryptsy's coin votes!

"These rules are designed to place more of the burden of bank rescues on investors and major depositors rather than taxpayers."

http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/03/investing/greece-stock-market-crash/index.html

Guys, 'burden' on 'major depositors' means bail-ins. It's what happened in Cyprus in 2013, but is now S.O.P. across swathes of Europe. It's cold-blooded to say, but this will give a big boost to cryptos.

Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia

This should not be a surprise. It has been in that "Bucketful of Bad Options" for sometime.

I noticed an increasing number of CFPs (Certified Financial Planners) and wealth management professional connecting with me on my LinkedIn professional network. Would you consider doing research along the line of proposing a small percentage (1 to 5%??) of digital currency (high risk), such as DNotes to be included in a "balanced investment portfolio?

I noticed that a lot of your current research has been focused on developing financial crises that are significantly affecting people's life savings, in certain cases a complete wipe-out. The small amount allocated to crypto investment is almost like paying for an insurance policy, in this case with potentially very large returns, perhaps at the time needed most.

We will be working as a team and will need strong support from our community. This can be as one of our first test articles, with loose guidelines to be refined.

Word count - 600 to 1,000

Headline word count - 20 to 30

Executive Summary - 80 to 100

"Executive Summary" is of course the signature brand of DCEBrief. Refining it to be the best format is of vital importance.

We should also follow certain guidelines such:

Neutral with a slight bias towards DNotes, non political, informative, objective, relevant issues that matter ......

Joe should take the next few days to finalize the list posted in this forum a number of times. You can always continue to submit your suggestions.

Allcoin has been quite distracting, or I would have been much further along with DCEBrief.  I hope one way or another it will clean itself up in another in a week or two. Anyone, who still has DNotes at Allcoin should withdraw them immediately. You may have to keep trying until you get a successful email confirmation. I have made three successful withdrawals over the last 24 hours but have not received any DNotes in my account yet. Please share your experience and comments.




"I noticed an increasing number of CFPs (Certified Financial Planners) and wealth management professional connecting with me on my LinkedIn professional network. Would you consider doing research along the line of proposing a small percentage (1 to 5%??) of digital currency (high risk), such as DNotes to be included in a "balanced investment portfolio?"

I really like this!  Can we post a running list of research points, stats, quotes, etc and then refine them later?  Or did you have something different in mind?

Absolutely, any content we post can be updated at any time. I'm assuming that may be the case with quite a few.

Hey guys I've only got 2 connections to the dnotes network, does any one have some more new nodes I can add? Thanks.


Welcome to the DNotes forum audiotopix!

Here is the current list:
addnode=n6.dnotescoin.com
addnode=n7.dnotescoin.com
addnode=n4.dnotescoin.com
addnode=n5.dnotescoin.com
addnode=128.199.239.199
addnode=95.85.44.200
addnode=162.243.225.90

It should find new connections over time. I currently have 10. If you want to PM me your location, I can probably setup a dedicated local node as well.

All,

Alan has asked that we finalize the list of DCEBrief as he is planning to circulate some draft concepts to number of authors, economists and others who may be interested in contributing.

Below is the list we have so far with some references and related content on the forum.

Let's give it one big push and see if we can't give DCEBrief an excellent start with some excellent topics.
Lets make a deadline of end of day tomorrow.


Digital Currency Regulation Recommendations - This topic has been discussed many times, the objective would be to create guidelines for regulators that would create an safe environment for users with enough freedom to allow innovation.

The Future of Digital Currency as a Payment System - This topic can discuss how digital currency might evolve as a payment system.

Does Digital Currency Meet the 3 Functions of Money? - Covering the 3 functions of money, Store of Value, Unit of Account, and Medium of exchange. It seems to be a fairly popular argument that digital currency does not meet these criteria.

Digital Currency is Backed by What!? - One of the other popular arguments is that digital currency has no real value. I do remember an article recently which wrote about it being backed by time and algorithmic functions. Inserting my own personal opinion here: We have to reevaluate what money is fundamentally, and how it works. Just like when a new discovery is made, we have to reevaluate our scientific theories. Eventually the books have to be re-written, new formulas created, and a brand new fundamental understanding is disseminated...

Digital currency education 1.0 for the Lay Masses. - Basically how to get started..

How will Digital Currency and Blockchain in general affect my business? - What effect will Digital Currency have on YOUR business / organization

What possibilities exist in the future for blockchain technology?

Why should I get involved now? How can I benefit the most by getting involved early?

Key Differences Between Digital Currency & Fiat - Self explanatory, but could be an important topic.

The Future of Digital Currency Technology - This may need to be refined into more specific topics. However the article could give people the vision of what it might look like in 5-10 years and potentially help people understand why it is important to get involved now.

How will a global currency affect your business, organization, or government? - This is a spin off of TeeGee's "What effect will Digital Currency have on YOUR business / organization"

Blockchain without Bitcoin. Can you or can't you?  Pros?  Cons? - There have been a lot of headlines on various companies, banks, etc stating that they are interested in the blockchain, but not bitcoin.  The bitcoin community replies 'you can't have one without the other'.  I think this could use a little clarity (with a positive spin). 

Current phase and future of mass adoption - Knowing where we are in the progression of mass adoption seems like an important piece of information to set expectation of getting involved today, then leading into how it will progress with a projected timeline.

Trustless, what does that really mean? - A misconception of this trustless system has led to some pain. We could discuss what the trustless system really is.

Key issues in our industry:
-Volatility
-Long term saving incentive
-Negetive forum behavior
-Gender gap
-Ease of use
-Too many conflicting interests
-Attempting to reach out to everyday people
-Lack of trust and integrity
-Lack of leadership both within the industry and at the currency level
-Lack of real world experience - I think this has been the downfall of many currencies

Reference:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470155.msg11766070#msg11766070

More on key issues, found randomly throughout the forum:
-Privacy - “Accounts at a money service business or financial institution can certainly be linked to identity, but the individual coins (or coin subunits) themselves cannot be.” As quoted by Jon matonis
-The learning curve for safe entry into cryptocurrency is very steep, and a deterrent for most people.
-Fear of losing your coins using an online storage services.
-Sensational and misrepresented media about bitcoin in a negative light

What technologies are most important to the future and success of DNotes?

1 ) An easy to use merchant payment verification system that doesn't require a third party
2 ) Cloud storage of the blockchain. Wallets sync with cloud instantly and no lag time at startup. This is a centralized item, however, but would be of great benefit. Instant syncing, instant sending, etc.
3 ) Versatile tipping program for various websites and social media outlets
4 ) POS style reward system
5 ) Making DNotes secure for everyone to use no matter their situation
6 ) Instant exchange functionality for the DNotesVault
7 ) Total smartphone solution for all DNotes functionality including vault and instant exchange functionality


What major issues with the existing financial system can DNotes solve?

1 ) Instant transfers of money.
2 ) Micro transactions, under $1 are not feasible. The transaction fees make micro transactions unprofitable if not impossible.

What services are most important to the future and success of DNotes?

1 ) Direct and simple fiat to DNotes exchange.
2 ) Accessibility and Ease of Use
3 ) CLEARLY outlining benefits, programs, future of DNotes
4 ) 24/7 support
5 ) Multilingual support
6 ) Assurance of store of value
7 ) Credit/Debit Card
8 ) ATM services
9 ) Refill service for prepaid/sim cards

What major obstacles does DNotes face to achieve success?

1 ) Half of the world's population does not have banking access and is therefore excluded from participating in economic growth.
2 ) Combating and rising above the bad reputation bitcoin has (whether it is deserved or not).
3 ) Mainstream media negativity of any cryptocurrency in general.
4 ) Develop global name recognition. When people think "crypto" or "Bitcoin" now, they should simply think "DNotes" in the future.

Bought 4btc of NOTE today to pop us out of the decline, eat some sell orders and seed the buy-side a little.

With the progress on the Cryptsy charts it seems an absolute no-brainer that we'll see a significant increase in value in the coming month. No chance am I missing that opportunity!

Sound gameplan, and congrats! Now is a great buying opportunity. We will do everything we can to make sure Cryptsy knows we are serious and we are a digital currency they can stand behind.

DNotes has a lot going for it, and DCEBrief will be a positive force for DNotes and digital currency as a whole, very exciting.
2936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - DCEBrief Digital Currency Executive Brief Coming Soon! on: August 03, 2015, 03:17:20 PM
Finally got my support ticket to Cryptsy sent, asking them to consider adding DNotes.

I hope they're responsive.

Thanks TeeGee, we are almost up to 30,000 on the voting list. Keep it up guys.

Good News From Allcoin:

"Hi,

we’ve fixed DNOTE wallet".



-----------------------------------------------
AllCoin.com — The secure, afficient and fast cryptocurrency exchange.
Base in UK, we make exchange easier.


Website: https://www.allcoin.com
Email:  service@allcoin.com
Twitter: @AllCoinEx


I have tested it and was able to withdraw DNotes from Allcoin successfully. A few transactions took multiple attempts.

Completely unresponsive to customers requests for support is the best way to kill any business. Although, I am somewhat relieved, I still do not know what to think of it. Good grief!  I will only feel comfortable after everyone got their coins back.

Please share your experience.


I was able to make a withdrawal successfully, just waiting to see the coins get delivered.

Good, let us know if the coins make it to your withdrawal address.

Just noticed this on Poloniex.

"ALERT: Poloniex will no longer be allowed to provide services to residents of the State of New York starting on August 8th, 2015. If you are a resident of New York, please take appropriate measures to withdraw your funds by this date. "

Yes I just read that myself. Bitlicense for State of New York. Must have them withdrawn by 11:59 on August 7th.


This should not be a surprise. Notice was given 5 or 6 weeks ago. Can anyone confirm if Cryptsy has Bitlicense? I am working on the assumption that they do, based on their registration and account verification process. If someone could find out and get a confirmation, it will be helpful.

DNotes is now at position # 4 on Cryptsy Vote List. #2 spot is within striking distance. That is where we need to be and we need your support very much. Your maximum participation is needed more than a large number of votes. Community support conveys a strong and compelling message. Unfortunately, that has been lacking. We will secure the 2nd position soon but may not get listed without your participation and support. If you can afford to contribute .01 BTC ($3) send it to:

14AGjtup6T6k4kB1bmbMUVmePNUXEYuqmQ  for 50 votes. If you already have an account at Cryptsy sending a letter of endorsement to "Support" recommending DNotes to be listed on Cryptsy will go a long way.

I seldom go this far to plead for your support, but this is extremely important.
What I am seeing in our industry and the financial crises brewing around the world is extremely troubling. We need DCEBrief as a platform to communicate on issues that matter. A platform that can engage like minded people to help frame those issues constructively, objectively and positively in a clear and compelling format as an Executive Summary with supporting facts in a full length article. We need to aggressive reach out to political leaders, regulators, media executives, educators, business executives and others.

DNotes and the many projects we have been working on are needed more than ever as financial crises continue to spread rapidly worldwide. We are not in the position to change the world but DNotes is a viable alternative to help alleviate various global challenges once we reached a certain scale and stature. In the mean time, making DNotes available to an exchange like Cryptsy is valuable, especially in light of the lost of Allcoin exchange.




I just wanted to add a couple of points to this. 

1.  You don't need an account at Cryptsy to vote with bitcoin. 

2.  Most people here have little bits of bitcoin sitting on various exchanges that could buy a few votes.

3.  The more individual votes cast, the better the chance of us getting listed (they want to see large community).

4.  I have been here from the beginning and I don't ever remember Alan pleading for support, so let's step up and help out.


14AGjtup6T6k4kB1bmbMUVmePNUXEYuqmQ  -  as much as you can afford to help, with a minimum of .0002 per vote.

                         Smiley Smiley



Great ideas Chase! Lets show Cryptsy our community support as much as possible.

I'm sure I have 50 cents worth of bitcoin somewhere I have forgotten about lol. I don't want to sell any of my coins, so I may just buy a couple bucks worth of bitcoin.

Excellent kanus, thank you.
