and what about wallet , so i would like to send my dnotes to wallet and they will be automatically swaped in wallet ?

If you have not done so, it is best to create a wallet at the DNotesVault where your DNotes will be swapped automatically when DNotes 2.0 is launched. Private wallets will involve a simple process to be announced later.

Amazing! Dauphin DTR-1 from 1993. This is a piece of history and still works 25 years later. This was groundbreaking technology for the time and in many ways began to shape what is today's cell phones and tablets. For those of you familiar with running a business, it takes a lifetime of experiences to get it right. For every successful business there was likely half a dozen failed ones, and the 'overnight success' that were 5-10 years in the making Smiley. I have tremendous respect for Alan and the immense experience he has taken the time to share with me and bring to DNotes.
wowowowow

What an awesome find. Alan, I'd imagine seeing a video like that is like looking at baby pictures of grown children....memories come flooding back!

Thank you, MiningHabit. Until last week, I had no clue that this video was out there with 300,000+ views and 900+ comments.

Yes, it brought back a lot of memories for sure. Naturally, a question popped up in my mind - where would I be if I rejected IBM's offer the third time?

Never mind, DNotes is well worth it. I had always wished that I can leave a positive impact to help change the world slightly for the better. It is becoming far more certain by the day that DNotes is a far better dream than I have ever dreamt. Hope you all will continue to help make that a reality. Thank you.

DNotes Global Inc. Partnering with Geneca

DNotes Global Inc. announced on Tuesday that the company has partnered with technology firm Geneca to expand its development efforts in preparation for the launch of DNotes 2.0 in early 2018. According to the company’s press release, the partnership will help bolster the DNotes ecosystem and provide the technological boost DNotes needs to rapidly expand in the coming year.

DNotes Chief Technology Officer Theodore Hauenstein noted:

We have been searching for the best possible firm to expand our development team for DNotes 2.0 and beyond, and we are proud to announce we have acquired the services of Geneca. Geneca shares both our business philosophy and our vision for making DNotes a technology leader, making them the ideal partner for our rapid expansion plans.”

The Geneca team will reportedly use its technical expertise and capacity to complete the development of DNotes 2.0, while also providing the support needed for future upgrades after the platform launch. The press release also suggests that the partnership with Geneca will offer new support for external developers who want to build products on the DNotes blockchain.

Geneca is a technology company based in Oak Brook, Illinois. The firm lays claim to a 92% product creation success rate over the course of its 19 years of existence, including product development for well-known brands like Mercer, Anthem Healthcare, and Redbox.

Thank you, Chase. This is very helpful. As we approach DNotes' 4th Birthday on February 18, 2018, it will be a good thing to revisit the many projects that we have been involved in as a part of our multiple missions to build a trusted brand, make DNotes accessible to everyone, involve the under-represented female population and much more - as the best means of ultimately realizing our vision of a digital currency gaining mass acceptance in global commerce.

I strongly encourage our community to participate. We have been working long and hard for the last four years. This is the time to take pride and help share the DNotes story. Those who want to earn some DNotes, I suggest that you post a DNotes deposit address. I do not encourage begging but there is nothing wrong to reward extra efforts. Thank you.

Kodak Announces Launch of Blockchain-Based Image Rights Platform and Cryptocurrency

https://dcebrief.com/kodak-announces-launch-of-blockchain-based-image-rights-platform-and-cryptocurrency/

It sure is incredible watching a company whose rich history dates back to 1888 try to make a resurgence on blockchain. I think they're onto something with this idea, and investors seem to agree!

This is a very interesting one. Kodak, being an industry outsider, taking on a large project as they recognize the value and potential in blockchain and how it can tie into their company. Companies such as these getting involved lends a little more credibility to our industry.

This is an interesting twist. Take note that: “the offering is being issued under SEC guidelines as a security token under Regulation 506 (c) as an exempt offering and will be open to properly accredited investors from the United States, Canada, the UK, and several other nations.”

It means that the small investors will be left out. Reg. D 506 (c) is a significantly less burdensome process with no requirements for audited financial statements.

“Kodak has partnered with London firm Wenn Media Group for a planned initial coin offering (ICO) that will begin January 31, 2018. According to the company’s announcement, the offering is being issued “under SEC guidelines as a security token under Regulation 506 (c) as an exempt offering” and will be open to properly accredited investors from the United States, Canada, the UK, and several other nations.
Eastman Kodak shares rose in value by almost 120% after Tuesday’s announcement.”

Will this be the rule or the exception? Despite many warnings from regulators around the world, ICOs have not slowed down.

Cease and Desist! Malaysia’s Securities Watchdog Puts Brakes on ICO

Malaysia’s statutory securities regulator and watchdog has issued a cease an immediate cease and desist to a startup’s initial coin offering (ICO).

With a statement on Tuesday, the Securities Commission (SC) Malaysia ordered the CopyCash Foundation to “immediately cease and desist all its proposed activities including a purported plan to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO)”. CopyCash describes itself as a decentralized social travestying (trading and investing) blockchain platform on its website, enabling travestying in foreign exchange markets and cryptocurrencies.
The directive came ahead of the intended launch of the startup’s ICO today.

The ban follows a previous statement by the regulator on January 5 when the authority stated it “will be calling in key officers” from CopyCash to “inquire into its activities including the purported launch of CopyCashCoin (CCC).” The regulator also noted that it had seen an increase in ICOs “soliciting investments in cryptocurrencies from the public at large, including senior citizens.”

After the inquiry, the SC wrote in its statement yesterday:

“The [cease and desist] directive was issued by the SC following its inquiry after it found that there is a reasonable likelihood that disclosures in CopyCash Foundation’s white paper and representations to potential investors will contravene relevant requirements under securities laws.”
The securities regulator’s swift action notably follows a public notice cautioning the publicover ICO-related investments, in September 2017. The authority urged investors to “fully understand” what’s on offer with a digital token sale, adding ICO operators could include disclaimers that would absolve them from “certain responsibilities and obligations.”

In its statement last week, the Securities Commission confirmed it will continue to put a spotlight on ICO activities in Malaysia alongside the country’s central bank.

“The SC continues to work with Bank Negara Malaysia and other enforcement agencies, including our foreign counterparts, to closely monitor such activities and will take appropriate action where necessary,” the watchdog stated.

I completed my purchase.

I look forward to a sharp increase in price.
I hope DNotes 2.0 will be released in February (18th is a historic day for DNotes) Smiley


Excellent, and thank you, Obrien-Harold. I don't know about a sharp increase, but a healthy gradual increase is usually more sustainable. It will also give more people a chance to participate. DNotes is very committed in inclusion of all, with a strong commitment to mass acceptance of DNotes one day.

February 18th, 2018, being DNotes' 4th birthday is indeed historic. Although we can probable pull it off, the trade-off of a short-cut or skipping certain features may not be a wise move. I am sticking my neck out a little without consulting our team. Let's shot for March 18th, 2018. Hope someone will protect me if I get in trouble. LOL

I have tremendous respect for Alan and the immense experience he has taken the time to share with me and bring to DNotes.

When I met Alan for the first time, way back in 2001, he was using this funny little “computer” (the DTR). It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I had hired a consulting company, way back in 2001, and Alan was the consultant they had sent out from Chicago. I hired him again, twice, once in 2002, and once in 2004. He was still using that funny little PC, hooked to a Cannon portable printer. I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of copies he printed on that thing, but I know he printed thousands of copies off of it just for me. I will never forget the day I met Alan. I knew, before those three days he spent with me were up, that I HAD to get to know this man better. I could see the genuis in this man. I knew that together, we could, and would, change the world. That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Now, Alan is one of my dearest friends, my closest advisor, and mentor. We met Joe a few years later, and the rest is history, the greatest part of which has still not been written...........(in other words, the best is yet to come!!)

Thank you, Kevin. We are blessed to have met. Set-back in life is not always a bad thing. I made my contribution in the world of personal computers and now privileged to make a difference in the greatest technology revolution since the Internet. Together with your continued support and that of our community we could indeed help change the world. Yes, let's give it our best shot.

Has our industry reached the point that it is unstoppable? As of this morning, the Market Cap has reached $831,156,591,714 with a 24h Vol. of $45,514,621,586 . That is quite astonishing, considering that Apple, the largest U.S. company has a market cap of $898.5 billion and the not so industry friendly bank, headed by Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase has a market cap of $375.91 billion.


While nothing is truly unstoppable, I have to say we are close. An even better metric then the market cap is adoption of crypto in general. If you read the recent news about Bittrex and several other exchanges temporarily halting new user signups, you can see where this is going. I think it was Bittrex that was seeing 250,000 new accounts creations a day. Yes, 250k in each 24hr period. Three other exchanges have also paused new signups due to 75,000 to 80,000 new signups daily. That is the statistic that shows me we may have obtained critical mass.

RJF, it certainly looks that way - at least in terms of people coming out of everywhere, not wanting to miss the boat. Just hope that they get onto the right boat.

I bought a DTR-1 from Heartland for $849 and absolutely loved it despite all of its limitations. I was the only person in my high school in 1994-ish who could pull a keyboardless tablet PC out of my book bag. It felt like holding the future. I still remember the feel of the textured plastic case and the fun of pulling the sliding cover off to reverse it to protect the screen during transport. The keyboard was tiny and terrible, but I still kind of enjoyed it. I would probably still pull the DTR-1 out every now and then to play with today but the PS/2 keyboard port broke off the motherboard and the whole thing became pretty useless. Good memories though. Downloaded a lot of, uh... files... from Usenet with the built-in 9.6k dial-up modem.

Look, by today's standards, it sucks but this was space age technology back in 1993. We're talking about an age where desktop computers were considered very high tech devices. Having a device that had a touch-screen, was portable and had a two hour battery life (when most mobile phones couldn't last that much) was extraordinary. Maybe it wasn't built up to proper standards (therefore, being a failure) but the idea behind it, what it could achieve was extraordinary. In 2017, a $25 tablet is better yet in 1993, this was years before its time.

I picked up one of these at a hamfest in 1995 or so, supper cheap. I think I had to track down a suitable power supply, probably from Radio Shack. I managed to get the hard drive running by installing it in another computer and loading up Windows. I'm not exactly sure where I got the Pen utilities from but it seemed to work fine. It became my control center for my X-10 home automation system and worked very well in that role for a few years.

Well as much of a joke as it is today , this is an important PC as it is the first Tablet PC it is amazing to think the technology existed to make a tablet back in 93 when most people myself included did not even own a PC as they were very expensive , here in the UK where im from the cheapest desktops in 93 started at £ 800 i did not get my first PC till 1998 when prices came down to a more sensible £400 lol

I don't know if it was the same or not, but I remember seeing a very similar computer back in 1995 when a group of American technicians came aboard our ship to test some of the onboard ASW systems. Unfortunately my memory of the exact computers is not the best, it's been over 20 years after all.

Watching this video on an iPad Pro with a Smart Keyboard (I bought on eBay for about 75% off the original price) and an (used) Apple Pencil. This nifty little device would have blown away the makers of this back in the early 1990s. The pencil works almost identical to a proper pencil, with pressure sensitivity, everything about it is just great.

Thanks, Joe. It brings back a lot of memories. There is no such thing as an over-night success and we have to take the good with the bad. On balance I am honored to have make a difference at an important point in the evolution of portable computer and wireless communication.

We trust that DNotes will be another significant contribution that we all can be proud of.

Israel’s Central Bank: Cryptocurrencies are Assets, Not Currency

https://dcebrief.com/israels-central-bank-cryptocurrencies-are-assets-not-currency/

Interesting. This is now becoming a word game - asset, property, commodity, currency, cryptocurrency, virtual currency, digital currency? Anything thing else? No wonder Grandma is confused!

Israel’s Central Bank: Cryptocurrencies are Assets, Not Currency

Bank of Israel Deputy Governor Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg sought to clarify the central bank’s position on digital currency Monday, in remarks offered at a parliamentary finance committee meeting. According to a Reuters report, she said that the central bank does not recognize cryptocurrencies as currencies:

“The Bank of Israel’s position is that they should be viewed as a financial asset.”

Baudot-Trajtenberg addressed several cryptocurrency-related issues in her remarks, including public complaints about Israeli banks that have been reluctant to allow clients to use their accounts for Bitcoin purchases. She suggested that the central bank could offer no solutions for those customers, and that Israel’s government had no legal obligation to help digital currency investors.

The Deputy Governor did confirm that the Bank of Israel is continuing to investigate cryptocurrency matters, though she noted that there were few global examples for the bank to study. To date, the world’s central banks have yet to even attempt to regulate the banking industry’s interactions with the digital currency space. According to Baudot-Trajtenberg,

“There is a real difficulty in issuing sweeping guidelines to the system regarding the proper way to estimate, manage, and monitor the risks inherent in such activity. Beyond the risks to the customer there are also compliance risks to the bank.”

Committee members who attended the meeting reportedly called on the nation’s regulators to craft a regulatory framework to help provide guidance for the industry. The panel’s chairman, Moshe Gafni, asked regulators to provide the committee with regulatory ideas within the next month.

Another point of reference: “Global assets under management reached $84.9 trillion in 2016 and will therefore almost double to hit $145.4 trillion in 2025, the latest Asset and Wealth Management Revolution report showed." https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/30/global-assets-under-management-to-double-by-2025-as-the-world-population-ages-study-says.html

No matter how we want to look at it, there is serious money involved and as I stated many times, we are witnessing the greatest technology revolution since the Internet. It is much bigger, and more disruptive with world changing implications. This will lead to massive job and wealth creation.  And we are still in the infancy stage with many challenges that must be overcome before mass acceptance can become a reality.

One of those challenges is to follow the existing laws while working respectfully with multiple regulatory bodies to ensure that our industry is not over-regulated, as it will stifle innovations, job and wealth creation. Working together is significantly more beneficial for everyone. I am hopeful that the SEC, other commissions and agencies that have jurisdiction over our industry will keep this in mind.

SEC RAMPS UP CRYPTO OVERSIGHT – HIRES COIN ETF ”EXPERT”
December 12, 2017


After what many considered a dithering reluctance, the bureau charged with maintaining order in the world’s biggest speculative markets, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is ramping up efforts to consider regulatory policy toward cryptocurrencies, ICOs, and cryptocurrency funds. This comes directly after two key executive appointments this year along with ever-more attention drawn to the ecosystem due to bitcoin’s stratospheric price rise.  ……….

FORMER COIN ETF ATTORNEY TURNS SEC DIRECTOR

Two months after Mr. Clayton’s appointment to head the agency, he personally named Dalia Blass Director of its Division of Investment Management. Ms. Blass’ key positioning was heralded by some crypto enthusiasts because she served as counsel from Ropes & Gray to the failed Winklevoss efforts at a regulatory-approved ETF. Bloomberg referred to Ms. Blass as an “ETF specialist.”

Her first published remarks were keynote to the “2017 Securities Law Developments Conference” on 7 December, hosted by the Investment Company Institute in Washington, DC. Speakers included U.S Treasury, Fidelity, Prudential, T. Rowe Price, Schwab, Vanguard, among others.
She focused on two initiatives, one investor-centered and one fund related. For investors she is seeking more transparency and engagement by funds, more information to help them make better decisions. The second part of her talk focused upon fund boards and how they can manage to return shareholder value while at the same time complying with complex regulation. In both cases, she urged professionals to team with her division.

In her conclusion, she turned to the issue of a new asset class, cryptocurrency funds. The SEC, she said, has questions. “For example, would retail investors have sufficient information to consider these products and to understand the risks? When thinking about cryptocurrencies and other blockchain offerings as fund assets, are differences in their features important? How would these funds fit into the existing regulatory scheme? What regulatory structure or structures apply to the market for the underlying instrument?,” she posed, ending with a quasi-prediction: “We will be discussing these questions with you as we work through these filings.”

Both Mr. Clayton and Ms. Blass claimed to be speaking only their own thoughts and not that of the agency at large.

DNotes Global, Inc CEO Alan Yong Shares View on The ICO Conundrum – A Challenge Beyond the SEC Mandate






Great article Alan. I'm glad to have invested in DNotes nearly 4 years ago; my confidence in the team is still as high as it's ever been (if not higher). Having positioned DNotes to be compliant with existing regulations will be a huge advantage over DNotes' competitors who have twisted the law to suit their best interests. At later stages of their growth and development I believe being situated in this legal grey area could become a MAJOR obstacle for those entities.

Thanks, Brandon. It is important for DNotes and DNotes Global to always do the right thing, though others may prefer taking short cuts. There are many options and choices in our industry. We happened to have chosen a different path but respect others for their choices.

Don’t Mess with Texas: Securities Regulators Issue C&D to UK Based Cryptocurrency Exchange BitConnect & Planned ICO

January 6, 2018 @ 12:46 pm By JD Alois

The Texas State Securities Board has issued an Emergency Cease and Desist Order targeting BiConnect, a UK based cryptocurrency exchange. BitConnect is planning a new initial coin offering (ICO)later this month and Texas is stating the tokens are unregistered securities.

The Texas regulators say BitConnect has placed 9.4 million of the coins into the online cryptocurrency marketplace, representing a market value of $4.1 billion as of Jan. 3 and expects to issue a maximum of 28 million coins.

I found a little trouble for myself trying to explain other people what DNote is. Actually it was hard part for me to understand your company targets and main goals, because it's kinda spread at many paths. Can you please clarify your key pros/targets in theses, so everyone can easily understand what is DNote, how and when it can be used?
I really think we need clear whitepaper or common cases shown down on website, making it easier for people to get involved in DNote.

I understand, especially if you are new to DNotes. We are uniquely different and have been positioning DNotes to solve multiple industry challenges we believe are essential in gaining mass acceptance of DNotes in global commerce one day. This can only be accomplished if we can overcome many of the pitfalls restraining Bitcoin from mass acceptance but succeeding as a speculative trading instrument.

DNotes’ business model is by far the most complex and comprehensive, involving many distinct parts. I have long given up on the “10 second elevator pitch." If someone wouldn’t give me 4 minutes to explain why we did what we have been doing over the last four years, I normally changed the subject quick.

For those who are seriously interested in DNotes, I strongly recommend that you take a little time to follow us and read up some of the thousands of blog posts and published information our community has worked hard to share. I have also written a book with over 70 videos broken down by section with full transcripts and bullet points. The book is one of our strategic building blocks and serves as the blueprint for DNotes, DNotes Global, and NextGen VC’s future clients and companies we invest in. Everything that we do has a core mission goal of gaining mass acceptance of DNotes.

Yes, we have a white paper and currently working on a pitch-deck. They will be made available as a part of our funding program. Meanwhile, I can share a short brief as follows:

Whitepaper:

Introduction / Summary DNotes 2.0

The advent of Bitcoin and its underpinning blockchain database technology in 2009, has delivered a decentralized and ultra-reliable data storage mechanism with a spectrum of applications that may render redundant the traditional methods of information in functions critical to value exchange for consumers and businesses. However, as many groups and organizations create faster, more private, more efficient, and more portable iterations of digital money, cryptocurrencies have not followed suit in becoming a reliable store of value.

There are two main reasons for this. First, despite rising interest and investment in the space, cryptocurrencies remain small in scale compared to incumbent fiat money types, and are not commonly accepted for trade. Second, the intrinsic value proposition of individual cryptocurrencies themselves are questionable—there is no price-floor to disincentivize prices rapidly dropping in the trading environment. Together, these factors have seen cryptocurrencies used primarily as speculative trading instruments rather than investments in the future of money.

The primary objective of DNotes is to position itself as the first, and preferred, peer-to-peer digital cash for mass public acceptance, in an analogous way to how Microsoft has become the public default among operating systems. The focus will be building an integrated, mutually beneficial, profit-generating business ecosystem to aid DNotes’ adoption and utility, and supporting DNotes with a share of the profits and equity from those business activities. The ecosystem will be managed by DNotes Global Inc, and will further boost the currency’s intrinsic value proposition by forming an economic valuation price floor, and protecting against trading risk.

DNotes Global’s ecosystem already holds the world’s first cryptocurrency vault with a deposit guarantee, a FinTech news media organization[], and the royalties from a business success book and subscription-based video product that will assist future business clients and partners[]. The next business phase will include rapid scaling of the existing business properties, and see the addition of a world-wide payment network, cryptocurrency exchange, charter bank, letter of credit facilities, multi-currency payment cards, and an array of business consulting and financial services that will be funded through multiple rounds of venture financing.

DNotes also functions as a platform for Turnkey Blockchain solutions that satisfy the needs of businesses who want to rapidly deploy powerful applications on the blockchain. This further expands the use-case and intrinsic value of DNotes as both a currency and a platform, widens the business partnership opportunities for DNotes Global, and opens more doors for investment that may act to stabilize the DNotes token through equity backing.

In summary, DNotes is a complex ecosystem that creates a positive feedback loop to support rapid scaling and growth. This whitepaper will break up these three main functions to best explore DNotes in its dimensions as a global payment system, a turnkey blockchain development platform, and as a business ecosystem.

Hello Dnotes team,

I would like to invest in Dnotes, but apparently there is no credible exchange markets for this coin.
Your Reddit page   r/DNotes/   recommends   poloniex/exchange#btc_note  and   allcoin/trade/NOTE_BTC
None of them exists!!

I found one or two unfamiliar exchange markets that are trading your coin, but they have a low trust rating and bad reputations (On mywot .com), furthermore their amount of supply (sell orders) is next to nothing!
Why this coin doesn't have a reliable market for supply?

Where can i invest in Dnotes with a sufficient supply and reasonable price(I would like to invest up to 3-3.5 million Dnotes)?
I can invest with either bitcoin or bank transfer.

Thank you.

Welcome Obrien-Harold, thank you for joining us on the forum and appreciate your interest in DNotes. That is correct, we haven't actively used reddit in a while, it may need some updating.

DNotes are exchanged on the open markets, and our current most popular exchanges are:
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=NOTE_BTC
https://c-cex.com/?p=note-btc
As well as a few others listed at the bottom of DNotesCoin.com.
Thank you DNotes,

I did not see much positive feedback about cryptopia .co.nz , Is this market reliable?

Another problem is that due to lack of supply if I put my money on the market, the price will increase excessively, I was hoping to invest at under 0.2$

Do you have any suggestions for this problem? How can I find a major seller?


So far we haven't had any reported problems with them and DNotes has been listed there for over a year. Though, I would recommend to air on the side of caution, and take it slowly. We also don't recommend using an exchange for storage of DNotes. As Denver Dan has mentioned, we do offer an online vault, with a matching guarantee fund at DNotesVault.com, run by the DNotes Team.

DNotes / DNotes Global, Inc does not offer sale of DNotes, and private transactions carry much more risk, so we don't generally recommend taking that approach. Though I do understand the challenge, if you would like to acquire a larger amount of DNotes, unfortunately I do not have a solution to provide.

Thank you,
As you suggested, I'll do it slowly and carefully.

Hi Obrien-Harold. Welcome and thank you for your interest in DNotes. I am glad that you discovered us, perhaps before many others in the coming months. DNotes will be four years in the making on February 18, 2018.

Biased aside, DNotes is the most undervalued digital currency relative to our industry peers. It is quite unfortunate that Poloniex delisted DNotes, due to low trading volume, when we needed them most. Undoubtedly, it is challenging for investors to acquire a large position of DNotes currently due to the limited availability at a few small exchanges. Given the constraints, I agree that your best option is be in the position to acquire DNotes in smaller amount at Cryptopia as they become available at your price points.  

Feel free to connect me on LinkedIn (Alan Yong) if I can be of help.


Hello Dyna,

Thank you very much, I am very confident in this investment.
I hope you can add this coin as soon as possible to the top exchange markets.
Wishing you success.

You are most welcome. Adding DNotes to some of the top exchanges is one of my highest priorities. Realistically, it will only happen after DNotes 2.0 is launched. It could be months from that point. Every good exchange is overwhelmed these days because of the explosive growth. But rest assured that I am making every effort to make that happen, ASAP.

DNotes is a long-term play positioned for mass acceptance. We are looking forward to a very exciting year when DNotes will be discovered and clearly differentiated in an increasingly crowded market. Historically, the over-crowding always settled down, allowing true winners to prevail. Typically, 80% to 90% will finally fail and disappear. DNotes will survive the test of time and be the solution to many challenges currently confronting our industry.

Hi Obrien-Harold and welcome to DNotes.

"I'll do it slowly and carefully" - Good plan - you don't want to have too much bitcoin sitting on an exchange at one time.

I do have a tiny bit of advice for anyone that is thinking of purchasing Dnotes. Register now at the exchanges where DNotes are sold, because some of the other exchanges are disabling new user registrations in order to upgrade for the influx of new cryptocurrency users. That will send the overflow to other exchanges, and should they get over-loaded, it would be a shame not to have an account at an exchange to buy DNotes when the time is right.

Note: C-Cex is not processing DNotes withdrawals until after Jan 20th. Was their Christmas vacation just an upgrade in disguise?  Wink

"I do have a tiny bit of advice for anyone that is thinking of purchasing Dnotes. Register now at the exchanges where DNotes are sold, because some of the other exchanges are disabling new user registrations in order to upgrade for the influx of new cryptocurrency users."

Thanks, Chase. That is an excellent advice. I could not give away DNotes to some of my family and friends four years ago. Now some of them are struggling to figure out how to open an account at an exchange. It is insane. Two days ago, a ten year kid did a Google search and asked if I was the creator of Bitcoin. I had a good laugh and hope that Business Week wouldn't come knocking on my door.
