When you used the term 'crypto' as shorthand for cryptocurrency, you actually gave a fantastic example of the government going under the radar to demonise one of the greatest gifts maths have ever given to freedom and privacy; cryptography. The ability for every member of society to use services like Telegram to communicate their thoughts and beliefs privately should be something that every government is actively encouraging their people to benefit from. The ability to use PGP/GPG encryption to secure private files should be equally promoted to citizens. But instead we see a steady campaign associating one of the most basic human rights, privacy, with a small handful of criminals who use this privacy against others. Fundamentally this is all about power, control, and in the end survival. Those in power have it easy, and they want to retain that power. But in order to retain power you need to control what's going on around you, your environment. If you want to keep your power but don't know what's going on around you then you're afraid. So those in power are afraid of crypto. Because they are afraid of others. Because people are afraid of each other. Because people want to survive. In fact if you really think about it, from fear stems all suffering. We want to survive but we don't know what's going on in other people's heads, so we're afraid of them. Yet if we all realized that we all want to survive, then we could work together to achieve that. And with a guarantee of survival people would act more rationally, more peacefully. Life seems like a game. There is an easy way to win that game, we all have to trust each other, realize we're all in the same boat and deep down all want the same thing. But we don't want to trust others because we fear others may not trust us. Basically that's what the great spiritual figures in history had realized, Jesus, Gandhi. If we all trusted each other we wouldn't need to fight, we wouldn't need crypto. But maybe crypto is what we need to realize that we don't have to fear each other, that the lack of control won't lead to destruction but to the opposite. Thanks for jumping in, pumpmydump, you make a really good point there. As a Buddhist, I am comfortable that attachment is the root of suffering, but then fear of losing what you are attached to is where the emotions really kick in, so I think you are right there at the source of it. For a long time, I have known that nothing good comes from fear. Sure, it might be a good guide in the very worst of circumstances, but it is useless for setting long term goals or guiding projects. That is something that I really respect about the DNotes Global Inc approach. They are not reactive or afraid of failing. They are solidly on track to create something they see as universally beneficial. This fearless approach to their road map means to me that what they will end up putting out there into the world we share will be beneficial. There is another recent post in this thread about Chinese ICO regulation. It is good of them to look at ways of fairly protecting investors, but it is an approach that comes from the fear of a negative outcome. When developing regulations, it is always important to be hopeful and look for ways to enable positive outcomes as well. This is likely to be the case in the Chinese discussion, but being less interesting or tangible, will be less likely to be reported. Even so, I'm interested to see what comes out of it, and how much fear had a role in the process. Thanks, Tim. Very interesting. I hope others who are following this forum also find it helpful and inspirational as I do. It does appear that DNotes is gaining recognition for being different in philosophy, strategies, executions, style, and substance. Being pro-active we see our industry differently – one that has massive opportunities for many to benefit from it. Yet because of the inherent human greed and fear many will be exploited and taken advantage of. At the same time, we also recognize that many things are beyond our control and little that we can do about them, other than showing a better example to do only what is right. We trust that eventually, this will become a positive influence on our industry. Our vision is for DNotes to be a true champion and leader in this world-changing technology revolution with a focus for it to benefit the largest number of the global population – business and consumers, rich or poor anywhere. This, we believe, is the best path to mass acceptance. This is a big bold global project and could not materialize with a white-paper no matter how stunning its graphic representations. We have spent the last 3 ½ building the most important part of our ecosystem block by block; designed to scale rapidly globally at the right time. We are looking forward to a very exciting 2018. |

Not that shocking, but here it comes. ICOs are getting out of hand and that is quite unfortunate. ICOs done properly side by side with crowdfunding could be the best funding tools for legitimate projects and other established business capital needs. I am a strong supporter of alternative funding done right and will be sharing my vision at the World Funding Summit in Los Angeles on November 17 - 18, 2017. For more, check HERE: http://worldfundingsummit.com/alan-yongChina Considers Blanket Ban All ICOs: ReportSamburaj Das on 30/08/2017 Chinese regulators are considering the possibility of a sweeping suspension of all initial coin offerings (ICOs), according to reports. A report by Tencent has revealed details of a notable meeting among Chinese regulatory authorities that took place on August 18. The joint meeting, hosted by the People’s Bank of China, the country’s central bank, was also attended by officials from the Securities and Futures Commission, the Banking Regulatory Commission and the insurance regulatory body, among others. Regulators reportedly discussed means of regulatory oversight that included control over the size and scale of the ICOs, strengthening disclosure requirements and issuing additional investment risk warnings. Notably, the report added: In addition, if a large [investor] risk is found, the regulation will even suspend all ICO activities and rectify them.

This is my take. We live in a very complex world that is getting better in many respect, and yet getting worse in others - as so well expressed by the current discussion between RJF, TimMash and others. Respectful expressed divergence of opinion is healthy. No one is perfectly correct in the true sense. There is always a compelling argument to the contrary if one would attempt to do so. It has been DNotes’ position since its beginning that we are witnessing the greatest technology revolution since the Internet and that it has many world-changing implications, as we are beginning to see now. Because it is so disruptive it challenges the survival of some to the benefits of others. You are correct that this evokes fear and the affected power players will resort to the use of their power to control for the sake of their survival – seldom in the best interest of others. To quote RJF, “I absolutely loath the scammers, liars, opportunist and pump and dumpers in this industry.” I do too. However, being a realist, I also recognize that it is a waste of energy to engage in things that we cannot control. We have a very clear vision for DNotes to be the trusted digital currency with a purpose for everyone worldwide to benefit from it in some ways, including those who no longer trust their governments. We are committed to stay the course and make it a reality. |

Very interesting perspectives. Personally, I would prefer governments not to issue their own crypto- currencies. There are many potential technical risk exposures, as well as being susceptible to abuses that to could lead to extremely uncertainties and instability. However, it is looking likely that some governments somewhere will try and perhaps to pay a high price for it. I just hope that such a risky experiment is not attempted by a major government as it could lead to a major financial crisis.
It is important to point out that DNotes is the only crypto that is dedicated to building a digital currency to supplement fiat currencies by meeting and exceeding the full functions of money one day. Consequently, our business model is uniquely different from that of our industry peers. Gaining mass acceptance is our ultimate goal. That foundation must be built with trust and a worthy purpose from day one with consistency.
I do agree that the consumers make the final choices of a small number of coins. This is when a solid trusted brand will be well rewarded.

I think it boils down to the ability to be honest, honest, real, hard working, and to separate items from other things that others don't have.With good business processes and skilled leaders, projects that thrive DNote have always had these, ergo, prosperity.
Quote R-J-F August 25, 2017, 12:12:58 PM: "I think, in the end, it all boils down to a few things like ability, honesty, truthfulness, hard work and an idea that sets the project apart and fills a void that others haven't.

Excellent, RJF. Very well said. In business, it's a big help if you can create an environment to the extend that your customers want you and help you to be successful - because they trust you and like what you are doing. I am getting the feeling that it is happening here at DNotes. Let's keep up the good work and be proud, but always be appreciative of our success and continue to work hard to earn it the honest way. |

Great points, Kenrich. Thank you all, please keep the discussion going. This is educational and inspirational. I have been involved in a few impactful projects in the past and always love to be help to others when I could. Nothing could come close to the potential of DNotes, in global scale and scope to be positively impactful to the lives of a massive percentage of the population worldwide. To be successful, DNotes must remain true to its purpose of being a trusted digital currency for everyone worldwide to participate. There will be hundreds of thousands of digital currencies – may be more. They will come in all sizes, breeds, and forms – including sovereign government digital currencies. In the mist of confusion and chaos, many will be hurt. It will harm the less knowledgeable and the innocent more than others who are there to exploit for their benefits to get rich quick. DNotes is preparing to expand our global reach aggressively in 2018. We have worked long and hard to build a solid foundation and a trusted brand. Let’s stay true to our missions and vision. That is how we all can come together and make our world slightly better for everyone. We are ready. Join us and help spread the words if you share our passion. We can certainly use a lot more help. |

Great, it looks like the majority like #5 so far. Definitely a good choice. I like #5 too. It incorporated the DNotes' logo into the design well. Thank you, BTCWise. Excellent job! |

Sorry guys, I am new here to the Thread. So just to summarize, there is a snapshot looming where entire NOTES will be replaced by Dnotes 2.0 (Coin name not sure).
The process will be 1 to 1 Swap. For swap to happen, coins should be present where ? Also you mentioned you are still in discussion with Exchanges which may or may not support swap?
What are potential causes of concerns for investors as part of this swap?
Welcome to DNotes, Shade_Wrath and thanks for the questions. Great summaries. The coin name will remain as DNotes with the notation that it’s the second generation; hence “DNotes 2.0” The ideal place for the swap is for DNotes to be held in a DNotesVault account. The swap will take place soon after the snapshot. DNotesVault is built to handle this promptly, and securely with ease for our account holders. DNotes held in an Exchange or a private wallet is a little more challenging, since the owner of the private key to the wallet must send the DNotes to an address we provide before we can complete the swap. Other arrangements are also under consideration. We do not anticipate anyone not cooperating but it is conceivable that some may not act as promptly as we would like, or not aware of the swap. We will do our best to get the words out. We expect all our exchanges to work well with us to ensure a smooth transition. This is a significant event. Depending on the final arrangement with each exchange where DNotes is traded, DNotes’ trading will be halted for a few days. Interruption in trading always bring about uncertainties. I never like to speculate on the outcomes of uncertainties. We are very committed to a smooth transition and trust that this will elevate DNotes to the next level where we are on par or ahead of our competitors as a technology leader. Coupled with our ecosystem and roadmap, this is our turn to shine. I am excited and very optimistic that DNotes is now equal to and will be better than our key competitors before long. |

I wanted to say something about success in crypto but, I ran across a recent post by "wiser" in the Devcoin forum that says everything. Devcoin supporters are working on reviving the project and soliciting ideas and advice. One of the most on point and generally well thought out posts is reproduced below. These observations could well be a blueprint to success and match well with the DNotes philosophy:
Posted in Devcoin by "wiser"
"I thought I'd chime in with a few points....
-SNIP-
Thanks RJF, a great post by wiser, hitting on a lot of important topics for a coin developer / team to consider, much of which is in line with our strategies for DNotes. I think, in the end, it all boils down to a few things like ability, honesty, truthfulness, hard work and an idea that sets the project apart and fills a void that others haven't. With sound business processes and skilled leaders, the project should prosper. DNotes has always had these, ergo, prosperity. Thank you RJF for posting “wiser’s” blueprint proposal for Devcoin revival. Wiser is a great writer and I always enjoy her writing. She certainly knows DNotes quite well and I appreciate her kind words for DNotes. DNotes is one of the oldest coins in our industry. It was first launched on February 18, 2014 when there were only a few hundred coins. And now there are thousands – tens of thousands if you include assets coins. I am predicting that there will be hundreds of thousands worldwide oneday including “asset coins” Many will just come and go. As mentioned many times in the past, DNotes is different in many aspects. As more time has gone by its uniqueness will standout more. We are still the undiscovered “rough diamond” but slowly being discovered. To me it is most rewarding to see our industry slowly recognizing some of the key elements to success that DNotes has been preaching from day one. We are a purposeful coin – so we like that. We want the best for our industry. There are massive opportunities for everyone. Therefore, it pays to collaborate and be respectful of others. |

DNotes - the sleeping giant. It is the most completely integrated digital currency with its own ecosystem devoted to building a trusted brand for everyone to participate worldwide. Check it out HERE: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1924858.0 |

@Dyna
Thank for your answer
Will total coin supply remain the same?
At the time of the snap shot, it is exactly the same - one for one. |

Regarding DNotes Vault and the Transition to DNotes2.0
At the moment, DNotes Vault contains 18.34% of the current circulating supply of DNotes, based on figures from CoinMarketCap.com. I'm not certain what is excluded by the term 'circulating'. But I think the matching funds held in cold storage would still be considered 'circulating' for their figures. There is just over 100% being held by DNotes Global Inc as security for our DNotes deposits.
This should mean that 36.68% of DNotes are already in the DNotes Vault system, leaving 63.32% of all DNotes waiting to be moved through DNotes Vault in exchange for DNotes2.0 coins.
Because I believe that each value of DNotes will be matched and replaced by DNotes2.0, I'm assuming that the DNotes in cold storage being used to guarantee funds will have matching DNotes2.0 values guaranteeing the new DNotes2.0 funds when they are converted in DNotes Vault.
What I'm curious about is how DNotes Global Inc intends to manage the large influx from the 63.32% of 'wild' DNotes that will require processing. Will they also be matched with cold stored DNotes2.0 during the upgrade process?
Tim, we will comeback with more accurate numbers. Your message is loud and clear. There will come a time when it is not possible to guarantee all deposits at the DNotesVault with one-to-one matching fund. Long-term we plan to have insurance coverage. During the coin swap period we will post the maximum number of DNotes pledged for the guarantee fund. Another busy day for me. I'll checking back tomorrow. |

What DNotes 2.0 means for present holders?
DNotes 2.0 is a significant Technology upgrade and it is a 1 for one exchange for current DNotes. It is also a switch from current Proof of Work (POW) to Proof of Stake (POS). With POS there will be no more mining reward; likely to cause a drop in the new supply of DNotes available for trading. It is a common practice for miners to cash in their new DNotes to support their mining operations. What this means, among others, is that DNotes long-term stakeholder will benefit at various levels: a) CRISP reward – pay account balance every 30 days at about 2% per annual. b) Staking Reward – Staking reward of 2% (annual rate) for participating stakeholders. Almost any stakeholder can participate with ease. c) Annual CRISP reward being considered – to be announced later. We are very passionate about encouraging and promoting long-term savings. Start saving as early as you can and do it on a regular basis. Digital currency is a new and innovative technology that is still evolving. As much as it has great potential, at this experimental stage, there is also significant risk. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose, in the event of a total loss. |

Thank you @JackTatar! I remember certain members of the financial world laughing when Jack use bitcoin and retirement in the same sentence. He may have the last laugh...   That was an excellent article! Dating all the way back to 2016. We have great content by some amazing people, it surprises me how DCEBrief content continues to circulate well after it was published. here is a link to the article: Will Bitcoin Be the Leg That Stabilizes a Failing Retirement System? https://dcebrief.com/will-bitcoin-be-the-leg-that-stabilizes-a-failing-retirement-system/Gee.. I've been preaching this since 2013...  Oh well, back to mining DNotes! I know you have, RJF. This is a generational opportunity, especially for those who struggle to make ends meet, with little left for savings that could make a difference. It is my personal wish, and I trust that it is also that of our team members, so even a little savings in DNotes on a regular basis could amount to something of significance over the long-term. Ha, Ha! You need to hurry. There aren't that many more days left to mine DNotes. DNotes 2.0 is a switch from POW to POS. Alan, Do you have a projected release date? The best guidance I can give at this time is the week of September 25, 2017. Once the date is fixed, we will announce it here. I am very anxious and excited. DNotes 2.0 is truly designed for everyone irrespective of technical knowledge or financial standing. It is for the corporate world and all consumers. That has always been our vision and it will continue to be reflected in everything we do. |

I'm not sure if the title is an accurate depiction of how many "normal people" are actually getting into cryptocurrency, but it is an interesting read. It sounds like these people are 'betting' on anything, which is never a good plan. It is a great time for a trusted currency that people can actually understand, to make its move. Middle America Is Crazy in Love With Bitcoin"If you're not buying Bitcoin, you're not keeping up with the Joneses.
The American middle class is falling in love with the unregulated cryptocurrency's skyrocketing value, which hit a record-breaking $4,400 in August, a 600 percent year-over-year increase.
There are now more Google searches for Bitcoin than for Beyoncé. It's not just bankers and techno-nerds buying up this "digital gold," hoping to sell them for more later, but flight attendants, ironworkers, and small business owners."https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/middle-america-crazy-love-bitcoin-n789011What is good for Bitcoin has certainly been good for our industry. But is is also a good thing that there other options, like DNotes, for those who do not have $4,000 + to spare just to acquire 1 Bitcoin. I have never been this excited for DNotes as we get closer to launching DNotes 2.0. Once enough people understand what DNotes is about I trust that many will love DNotes too. Imagine how much more people will love Bitcoin if there is a BitcoinVault where you can safely store your Bitcoin for free, guarantee your deposit with matching funds, pay you an annual rate of 2% CRISP interest, help you earn staking reward of another 2%, annualized, and more to come every 365 days. You no longer have to imagine. That is what DNotes 2.0 will deliver with the help of DNotesVault, CRISP, and POS. And that is just for the starter. Yes, I am really excited for many good reasons. Thanks to our team for their tireless contributions and hard-work for over three years. The day draws ever nearer. I think upon the launch of 2.0, we will have in place for the first time an integration across the various properties that we have created, beginning with the integration of DNotesVault into the block reward itself to promote savings and ensure security of member funds. I'm looking very forward to the further integrations, and what DNotesVault may evolve into -- say an exchange that can be accessed through the wallet, or even one day having bank support from an internally owned bank for frictionless transfer of money from a fiat bank account into cryptocurrency (and the other way). DNotes properties could facilitate the process from A to Z and then back to A. As our properties become more and more integrated with one another, the value and strength of the system we have built will become more and more obvious. It's all very exciting Thanks, TeeGee. That is correct and there are many things to be excited about the future of DNotes. It is easy to just publish a "White Paper" with a lot of claims that may never be executed. In the case of DNotes, for 3 1/2 we have been launching real projects that we believe are essential for the success of our industry and DNotes. With the launch of DNotes 2.0 we will be expanding and integrating upon what we have built. Correct me if I am wrong; we will be the most integrated system, from top to bottom, in our industry. Why is that important? Because we are committed to our vision of DNotes being the trusted global digital currency for everyone worldwide to participate. Before that can happen multiple missions must be accomplished and it will take many years to: 1. Build a trusted brand 2. Ease of participation for everyone 3. Continued education 4. Significant female participation 5. Leading edge technology 6. Integrated financial services 7. Meet the full functions of money. 8. Gain mass global acceptance in global commerce. 9. And much more ........ |

When is the new version wallet expected to exit?
Thank you for the question. We have been working on DNotes 2.0 since the beginning of this year and the wallet is just one of the component parts of the whole system. The wallet is now getting the final touches, fine tuning, and testing. DNotes 2.0 with the new wallet is scheduled to be launched at the end of next month. This is just the beginning of DNotes' commitment to be an innovative technology leader. Together with other projects shown on our road-map HERE: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1924858.0 DNotes will be ramping up with fairly large teams in the coming years. We are very committed to the long-term success of DNotes. |

I'm not sure if the title is an accurate depiction of how many "normal people" are actually getting into cryptocurrency, but it is an interesting read. It sounds like these people are 'betting' on anything, which is never a good plan. It is a great time for a trusted currency that people can actually understand, to make its move. Middle America Is Crazy in Love With Bitcoin"If you're not buying Bitcoin, you're not keeping up with the Joneses.
The American middle class is falling in love with the unregulated cryptocurrency's skyrocketing value, which hit a record-breaking $4,400 in August, a 600 percent year-over-year increase.
There are now more Google searches for Bitcoin than for Beyoncé. It's not just bankers and techno-nerds buying up this "digital gold," hoping to sell them for more later, but flight attendants, ironworkers, and small business owners."https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/middle-america-crazy-love-bitcoin-n789011What is good for Bitcoin has certainly been good for our industry. But is is also a good thing that there other options, like DNotes, for those who do not have $4,000 + to spare just to acquire 1 Bitcoin.
