Right, in a dusty corner of the world where men drive solid gold cars and women are just now ALLOWED to drive (in some areas). One of the richest countries on earth is scared of Bitcoin? What a joke. Is religion the catalyst? Doubtful, many Muslem clerics have now declared Bitcoin is allowed under Sharia Law so that can't be the reason. Don't like the fact that you can't control it perhaps? Protecting the people from themselves? Maybe, world wars have been started over this fallback reasoning. Once again, the rich get richer and the common people suffer. But, crypto will continue to be traded there and everywhere else on the planet because it really cannot be stopped entirely. Even if there are no exchanges in country, there are plenty around the world and there's the Tor protocol. Legal or not, people will continue to trade with or without, their government's blessing. See China for a case in point. The final word in the title of the article provides the answer to why this is happening. Small minds are not exclusive to the poor and powerless. But, really, where is the threat? The Billionaire Oil Sheeks, Kings and Princes are acting like they have something to fear. Do they? Perhaps. But lets be realistic, the entire value of the crypto market does not come close to the countries sales of oil in a few months. The continuing cry of "we are protecting the people" rings less true and is falling on deaf ears in most societies. People know when they are being suppressed, used or downright lied to but precious few will take a stand. Even in the Middle East, if populations fought for their rights it would be noticed. Problem is, most populations are complacent, they have learned to live with things the way they are so why make trouble, why try to change the way things work and risk loosing even more freedom? And this is the problem, complacency breads control and loss of freedom. Crypto is, and always will be, a means of regaining some of that freedom. Granted, you may have to go underground in many places to exercise that freedom but, it's still better than living an oppressed life without hope. And that is one of the greatest benefits of crypto, hope. Being able to see a future where things are fair and equal and money is just a tool not a God. You are absolutely right, when laws become unjust people will find their own way, and disregard for the law becomes common practice. I think it's perfectly fair to issue a warning, there are certainly dangers and the potential for losing your money by accident or by theft, but declaring it illegal is not the answer. The legal system will take care of the bad actors. The rest is knowledge and tools, that is exactly why we have created DNotesVault, DNotesEDU, DCEBrief, and CryptoMoms. |

Wondering what DNotes is all about? Here’s the basics: What is DNotes?• DNotes is a digital currency with a purpose: to serve as a real currency that people can use in their daily lives - unlike other digital currencies that focus on solving niche problems, with no plan to become a real, usable currency. • The DNotes goal is simple: achieve mass adoption and become the world’s first accessible, inclusive, and financially empowering digital currency that benefits everyone around the globe. What are DNotes’ Benefits as a Currency?• DNotes is managed as a business – but not controlled as one. • DNotes success is driven by a profit-generating company, DNotes Global, created to promote mass adoption, protect the currency, and ensure sustainable growth. • DNotes’ unique CRISP savings program rewards DNotes owners with 0.5% interest, every month • DNotes offers staking rewards for stakeholders – at 2% a year. • DNotes provides blockchain invoicing features to simplify merchant acceptance and adoption of the digital currency. What Benefits Does DNotes Global Provide?DNotes Global protects DNotes and its stakeholders, promotes mass adoption, and creates value and utility for the digital currency, including a fully integrated ecosystem. The company provides a unique cross-ownership model, with DNotes owning 25% of DNotes Global (pre-dilution), while the for-profit business maintains a stake in the digital currency. DNotes Global generates profit, creating intrinsic value for the DNotes currency to help create a “floor” for the digital currency’s value. DNotes Global has plans to build a long-term competitive advantage by offering services that utilize DNotes. That strategy will also help to facilitate awareness and adoption of the DNotes currency. Long term competitive advantage DNotes Global will provide in offering services that utilize DNotes. What’s Next? Fully compliant Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding followed by a Reg A+ Mini-IPO.

DNotes 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What is new with DNotes 2.0?A: DNotes 2.0 is a major improvement on the original DNotes blockchain. The new blockchain will allow DNotes and its partner company DNotes Global to achieve its objective to connect DNotes to the modern world of finance and commerce. The new blockchain is faster, more secure, and consumes only a fraction of the electricity. It also allows custom invoices to be created and attached to transactions, and changes the economic incentives of the network to one that encourages savings with the switch to the Proof-Of-Stake algorithm, and paying 0.5% interest on balances that haven’t moved from a wallet address in a 30 day period (~6% per annum). Specifications POS 2% Annualized Staking Reward Individual blocks reward will be Current Total Coins / 525,600 * 0.02 60 Second Block Target 0.005 Transaction Fee Source: https://github.com/DNotesCoin/DNotes2.0Download Wallet: http://dnotescoin.com/#DownloadDirectory DNotes2 (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DNotes2 on Windows) CONF dnotes.conf (all lower case) DNotes 2.0 Features Switch to PoS CRISP Reward - 0.5% interest every 30 days.

(after April 16th)A: The DNotes coin swap process will now be done through a private fork of the legacy DNotes blockchain. We have created this fork to ensure that legacy DNotes holders are still able to swap their legacy DNotes for DNotes 2.0 long after the deadline, in the event they missed the swap. This also ensures we will not be accepting newly purchased or mined DNotes, protecting our users and network. In order to swap your coins, you will need the following DNotes v1.3 wallet, which you can download here: http://dnotescoin.com/DNotes/dnotes-qt1-3.zipYou will need to copy your wallet.dat or wallet backup file to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DNotes1-3 directory, open the wallet application and allow it to update. Next, you will need an address to send your legacy DNotes in to for the coin swap, you can generate a legacy address with the following instructions: Create a DNotesVault.com account if you don’t already have one. Login to your DNotesVault.com account, and click the HISTORIC tab at the top. Click Create Address, and send your DNotes to the address you just created. Coin swaps will be processed once a month until further notice. Q: What is the cutoff date for mined DNotes that can be swapped to the new DNotes blockchain?A: We have set April 16th 2018 as the soft deadline. No DNotes mined after this date will be eligible to be swapped to DNotes running on the new blockchain. We will continue swap DNotes after that date, however the process will not be as easy and will take more time. Any DNotes 1.x purchased on exchanges after the 16th will not be eligible for the swap. Q: Will DNotes 2.0 be listed on new exchanges?We are currently listed on: https://mercatox.com/exchange/NOTE/BTChttps://stocks.exchange/trade/NOTE/BTChttps://www.nlexch.com/markets/notebtchttps://bitebtc.com/trade/note_btcBeta or Future Exchanges we are working with: https://blockbid.io/Q: Are the new DNotes 2.0 coins worth the same as the old coins?A: Yes, they are worth exactly the same. However we can not predict what price movements will occur at exchanges once DNotes is relisted using the new coins. Q: I have Mac or Specific Linux OS, will there be wallets for these? A: Yes! We currently have Windows / Mac / Linux Mint / Ubuntu Desktop wallets at DNotesCoin.com. If you need something else, please let us know. Q: Where is the block explorer? A: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/StakingQ: What is Staking?A: Staking your coins helps to support the DNotes network, and the network currently pays out roughly 5 DNotes every minute to one address on the network based on a probability that centers on how many coins the user is staking with as a percentage of the total number of coins being staked on the network. The DNotes network pays out ~2% of the total number of coins per annum. If 100% of DNotes were being used to stake on the network, then by probability each user could expect 2% growth in the number of coins they have. If only 50% of coins are used to stake, then those users could expect approximately 4% growth that year. Q: Can I stake my coins on the DNotesVault?A: You cannot currently stake your coins that are on the DNotesVault, you will need to withdraw your DNotes 2.0 to a local wallet and stake your coins from your local wallet. We will in a future release incorporate cold staking, which will allow you stake your coins while they are safely tucked away inside the DNotesVault. However, we do not have an ETA, it will be one of our highest priorities for next upgrades. Q: How do I stake?Disclaimer: It is recommended that you properly secure your computer and wallet, as well as make proper backups, before attempting to run your own staking wallet. Failure to properly secure your DNotes may result in loss or theft. If you are not familiar with the process, please start off small and familiarize yourself with the process. You will need to download the DNotes QT wallet here: http://dnotescoin.com/#DownloadInstall the wallet (and we recommend creating a backup, after encrypting your wallet) Go to settings, and then ‘encrypt wallet’. Enter your password twice (and do NOT forget it, or you will not be able to access the wallet and we can not help you). Go to settings, and then ‘unlock wallet’, enter your password, and select “for staking only”. This will prevent any transfers from being made from your wallet without the password while you stake your coins. Soon the arrow at the bottom will turn green. This means that your coins are now staking. Video: https://youtu.be/bR66LWPRzAUQ: How do I get the most out of my staking efforts? A: There is no trick to staking efficiently. The factors involved are your coin weight versus the network coin weight and coin weight is the number of coins currently staking. The age does not matter, nor does how you divide or move your coins around. Q: How much can I earn staking? A: That depends on how many coins you are staking and how many coins are being staked on the network. The blockchain distributes Current Total Coins / 525,600 * 0.02 every block, or every 60 seconds. You may calculate how often you are chosen to receive the block reward by dividing your network weight verse your weight. If network weight is 100, and your weight is 5, then you would be chosen for block reward 5 blocks out of every 100. CRISPQ: Can I get CRISP reward AND stake at the same time? A: Yes, the system is designed to allow you to receive CRISP on a wallet you are staking Q: What is the CRISP reward structure? A: CRISP periods are every 43,200 blocks (30 days). Payments start 10,080 blocks (1 week) from the end of the CRISP period. Q: What do I need to do to earn CRISP? A: Keep your coins in the same address for the full CRISP period 30 days, set every 43,200 blocks. Q: When will I receive CRISP payments? A: The next payouts are as follows: May 1 - Ends first CRISP period. May 8 - Payout starts. (Virtually no one will receive this payout) June 2 - Ends second CRISP period June 10 - Payout starts Roughly. Q: Do I get CRISP payments at the DNotesVault? A: Yes! You get CRISP inside the DNotesVault, or at any address you control, such as a Desktop wallet. Though I won't suspect you will be able to get CRISP rewards from the exchanges or other online providers. Q: Where do the CRISP coins come from? A: The blockchain, these are newly created coins and have now become part of the new coin distribution, just like the staking reward. Q: How do I earn the interest reward?A: Our Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan (CRISP) payouts occur approximately once per month. All coins that haven’t moved address during that month period will accrue a 0.5% interest, which compounds to roughly 6.17% per annum. If you move your coins during that time, those coins will not receive the interest for that month. |

What is the cost to develop this project?
Welcome cubonho2k, would you provide us with a little more context about your inquiry. We are a digital currency, an ecosystem, and a profit generating company. Each of those things may have milestones and individual projects with milestones, but there is no finite cost or point where we can say the project is completed. |

Just FYI Exchange- www.Listex.io, withdraws are not working at all. Ive tried Note, BTC, and Dash. I Submitted my first Dnotes withdraw Aug 4 around noon. It Still says accepted yet nothing happens. I have not received any emails from this exchange (other than support registration) and they dont appear to be answering support tickets. Its been 48 hours or so for a support ticket. Just wanted to let everyone know. Hopefully they are just fixing some bugs on there end, I will let you know if the status changes Thanks mrbum805, I have emailed them about withdrawals. It appears they have launched but the exchange is not complete. Until they get up to speed I will remove them from our lists. So, as to my personal conclusion. I believe that listex.io is offline now permanently. I went to all the forums and 99 percent of the people were having hard time with the exchange calling it a scam everywhere (no withdraws, no support, missing coins, companies paying to be listed and being removed shortly after, etc). They have been offline for 4 days now with no word on coming back. seems to be gutted now. here is what I found after my last post(took with a grain of salt at first): https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/3d360f_79205e99a4054ecf9b64148f0d0c6f45.pdfluckily if true i only lost a month of Dnotes interest in the end, I hope peoples individual losses were not to high. I had some good profits I never was able to withdraw but thats okay I saw red flags that I considered before making my first deposit. Thanks for sharing that mybum805, it is indeed offline. I'll send them a message. Just goes to show any unproven exchange is high risk. We get messages daily from exchanges, some not yet even launched asking for exchange fees, most with no way to verify their legitimacy. This group seemed to be fairly professional in communication and had at least some verifiable information available, so it was worth taking a chance. |

Just a quick update, we should be ready with DNotes Pay custom cart integration in a few days. We will integrate it with Smokey's Gardens website for demonstration and as the new way to accept DNotes there.
Alan is working intensely on reaching people for funding and dedicating all available time to it. We will also be able to release a few more chapters of the Four Pillars audio book here shortly.
We appreciate your participation in the community and spreading the word about DNotes where you can. What we have been able to achieve with very little resources is amazing and once we secure funding that will only accelerate.

I'm definitely looking forward to having the meat of the book available like this in the near future, since the only thing better than reading a book filled with Alan's wisdom and insight is having someone else read it to me. Agreed, I've had it playing in the background a couple times today. Great job Tim! Looking forward to the next ones. |

Wondering what DNotes is all about? Here’s the basics: What is DNotes?• DNotes is a digital currency with a purpose: to serve as a real currency that people can use in their daily lives - unlike other digital currencies that focus on solving niche problems, with no plan to become a real, usable currency. • The DNotes goal is simple: achieve mass adoption and become the world’s first accessible, inclusive, and financially empowering digital currency that benefits everyone around the globe. What are DNotes’ Benefits as a Currency?• DNotes is managed as a business – but not controlled as one. • DNotes success is driven by a profit-generating company, DNotes Global, created to promote mass adoption, protect the currency, and ensure sustainable growth. • DNotes’ unique CRISP savings program rewards DNotes owners with 0.5% interest, every month • DNotes offers staking rewards for stakeholders – at 2% a year. • DNotes provides blockchain invoicing features to simplify merchant acceptance and adoption of the digital currency. What Benefits Does DNotes Global Provide?DNotes Global protects DNotes and its stakeholders, promotes mass adoption, and creates value and utility for the digital currency, including a fully integrated ecosystem. The company provides a unique cross-ownership model, with DNotes owning 25% of DNotes Global (pre-dilution), while the for-profit business maintains a stake in the digital currency. DNotes Global generates profit, creating intrinsic value for the DNotes currency to help create a “floor” for the digital currency’s value. DNotes Global has plans to build a long-term competitive advantage by offering services that utilize DNotes. That strategy will also help to facilitate awareness and adoption of the DNotes currency. Long term competitive advantage DNotes Global will provide in offering services that utilize DNotes. What’s Next? Fully compliant Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding followed by a Reg A+ Mini-IPO.

DNotes 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What is new with DNotes 2.0?A: DNotes 2.0 is a major improvement on the original DNotes blockchain. The new blockchain will allow DNotes and its partner company DNotes Global to achieve its objective to connect DNotes to the modern world of finance and commerce. The new blockchain is faster, more secure, and consumes only a fraction of the electricity. It also allows custom invoices to be created and attached to transactions, and changes the economic incentives of the network to one that encourages savings with the switch to the Proof-Of-Stake algorithm, and paying 0.5% interest on balances that haven’t moved from a wallet address in a 30 day period (~6% per annum).

(after April 16th)A: The DNotes coin swap process will now be done through a private fork of the legacy DNotes blockchain. We have created this fork to ensure that legacy DNotes holders are still able to swap their legacy DNotes for DNotes 2.0 long after the deadline, in the event they missed the swap. This also ensures we will not be accepting newly purchased or mined DNotes, protecting our users and network. In order to swap your coins, you will need the following DNotes v1.3 wallet, which you can download here: http://dnotescoin.com/DNotes/dnotes-qt1-3.zipYou will need to copy your wallet.dat or wallet backup file to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DNotes1-3 directory, open the wallet application and allow it to update. Next, you will need an address to send your legacy DNotes in to for the coin swap, you can generate a legacy address with the following instructions: Create a DNotesVault.com account if you don’t already have one. Login to your DNotesVault.com account, and click the HISTORIC tab at the top. Click Create Address, and send your DNotes to the address you just created. Coin swaps will be processed once a month until further notice. Q: What is the cutoff date for mined DNotes that can be swapped to the new DNotes blockchain?A: We have set April 16th 2018 as the soft deadline. No DNotes mined after this date will be eligible to be swapped to DNotes running on the new blockchain. We will continue swap DNotes after that date, however the process will not be as easy and will take more time. Any DNotes 1.x purchased on exchanges after the 16th will not be eligible for the swap. Q: Will DNotes 2.0 be listed on new exchanges?We are currently listed on: https://mercatox.com/exchange/NOTE/BTChttps://stocks.exchange/trade/NOTE/BTChttps://www.nlexch.com/markets/notebtchttps://bitebtc.com/trade/note_btcBeta or Future Exchanges we are working with: https://blockbid.io/Q: Are the new DNotes 2.0 coins worth the same as the old coins?A: Yes, they are worth exactly the same. However we can not predict what price movements will occur at exchanges once DNotes is relisted using the new coins. Q: I have Mac or Specific Linux OS, will there be wallets for these? A: Yes! We currently have Windows / Mac / Linux Mint / Ubuntu Desktop wallets at DNotesCoin.com. If you need something else, please let us know. Q: Where is the block explorer? A: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/StakingQ: What is Staking?A: Staking your coins helps to support the DNotes network, and the network currently pays out roughly 5 DNotes every minute to one address on the network based on a probability that centers on how many coins the user is staking with as a percentage of the total number of coins being staked on the network. The DNotes network pays out ~2% of the total number of coins per annum. If 100% of DNotes were being used to stake on the network, then by probability each user could expect 2% growth in the number of coins they have. If only 50% of coins are used to stake, then those users could expect approximately 4% growth that year. Q: Can I stake my coins on the DNotesVault?A: You cannot currently stake your coins that are on the DNotesVault, you will need to withdraw your DNotes 2.0 to a local wallet and stake your coins from your local wallet. We will in a future release incorporate cold staking, which will allow you stake your coins while they are safely tucked away inside the DNotesVault. However, we do not have an ETA, it will be one of our highest priorities for next upgrades. Q: How do I stake?Disclaimer: It is recommended that you properly secure your computer and wallet, as well as make proper backups, before attempting to run your own staking wallet. Failure to properly secure your DNotes may result in loss or theft. If you are not familiar with the process, please start off small and familiarize yourself with the process. You will need to download the DNotes QT wallet here: http://dnotescoin.com/#DownloadInstall the wallet (and we recommend creating a backup, after encrypting your wallet) Go to settings, and then ‘encrypt wallet’. Enter your password twice (and do NOT forget it, or you will not be able to access the wallet and we can not help you). Go to settings, and then ‘unlock wallet’, enter your password, and select “for staking only”. This will prevent any transfers from being made from your wallet without the password while you stake your coins. Soon the arrow at the bottom will turn green. This means that your coins are now staking. Video: https://youtu.be/bR66LWPRzAUQ: How do I get the most out of my staking efforts? A: There is no trick to staking efficiently. The factors involved are your coin weight versus the network coin weight and coin weight is the number of coins currently staking. The age does not matter, nor does how you divide or move your coins around. Q: How much can I earn staking? A: That depends on how many coins you are staking and how many coins are being staked on the network. The blockchain distributes Current Total Coins / 525,600 * 0.02 every block, or every 60 seconds. You may calculate how often you are chosen to receive the block reward by dividing your network weight verse your weight. If network weight is 100, and your weight is 5, then you would be chosen for block reward 5 blocks out of every 100. CRISPQ: Can I get CRISP reward AND stake at the same time? A: Yes, the system is designed to allow you to receive CRISP on a wallet you are staking Q: What is the CRISP reward structure? A: CRISP periods are every 43,200 blocks (30 days). Payments start 10,080 blocks (1 week) from the end of the CRISP period. Q: What do I need to do to earn CRISP? A: Keep your coins in the same address for the full CRISP period 30 days, set every 43,200 blocks. Q: When will I receive CRISP payments? A: The next payouts are as follows: May 1 - Ends first CRISP period. May 8 - Payout starts. (Virtually no one will receive this payout) June 2 - Ends second CRISP period June 10 - Payout starts Roughly. Q: Do I get CRISP payments at the DNotesVault? A: Yes! You get CRISP inside the DNotesVault, or at any address you control, such as a Desktop wallet. Though I won't suspect you will be able to get CRISP rewards from the exchanges or other online providers. Q: Where do the CRISP coins come from? A: The blockchain, these are newly created coins and have now become part of the new coin distribution, just like the staking reward. Q: How do I earn the interest reward?A: Our Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan (CRISP) payouts occur approximately once per month. All coins that haven’t moved address during that month period will accrue a 0.5% interest, which compounds to roughly 6.17% per annum. If you move your coins during that time, those coins will not receive the interest for that month. |

It is good news for Dnotes community when the project has made new partnership with the second Swiss bank. Excellent works, DNotes team! Hi lhtot8, that is general cryptocurrency news, not exclusively related to DNotes. |

I will be looking into decentralized and hybrid exchanges. Most are token exchanges for things like ERC20 tokens. If you have any suggestions for decentralized or hybrid exchanges, please let us know.
Here is a nice article to get you started: https://medium.com/@theblocknetchannel/understanding-a-decentralized-exchange-eee9e1043f45Exchanges have four core functions:
1 Capital deposits
2 Order broadcast
3 Order matching
4 The exchange of tokens
Therefore, in order to be a decentralized exchange, each of these core functions must be decentralized in the following ways:
Traders’ capital must remain in their wallets, and cannot be entrusted to a third party at any stage.
Orders must broadcast directly from trader to trader over an inter-blockchain DHT network overlay. Traders’ apps must compile an order book themselves instead of relying on a central order book service.
Orders must be matched directly between traders. When one accepts another’s order, their apps communicate to set up the coin exchange process, and this is broadcast over the inter-chain network.
The exchange of tokens must be achieved without the involvement of an intermediary, in a manner that does not require counterparties to trust one another beforehand. An atomic swap protocol must be utilised (meaning that either the exchange of both currencies takes place, or nothing takes place), which employs a system called OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY to nullify transaction malleability-based attacks. I do not want to pitch for Blocknet but the project is currently, in my opinion, leading the way in the area of interoperability. A close second would be Komodo. Rest of the DEX's that I've heard about are not truly decentralized or are only compatible with one platform (Ethereum, Waves) Thank you very much Wosterlee and SiamDude, that is very helpful information. We will be looking into these solutions -- this could be very beneficial to the DNotes ecosystem and to DNotes holders, along with those who would like an easier means to acquire them. We will definitely look into adding this into our project pipeline, of which we have some pretty exciting things already in the works. Perfect, thank you again for the information that is very helpful. |

I will be looking into decentralized and hybrid exchanges. Most are token exchanges for things like ERC20 tokens. If you have any suggestions for decentralized or hybrid exchanges, please let us know.
Can you explain a little bit about your original ideas on hybrid exchanges, please. For decentralized exchange, it should be built up for different tokens on different platforms, such as ETH, WAVES, NEOS, etc., not only focus on ETH (ERC20 tokens). Sorry, I meant for getting DNotes listed on. The hybrid exchanges have both centralized aspects and decentralized aspects to them, which allows them to trade tokens with a decentralized back end but also accept non-token cryptocurrencies. |
