My desktop wallet stopped staking sometime yesterday. It was showing unlocked but not staking. This morning I restarted it and unlocked it for staking only, and after a few minutes, maybe 15, it still wasn't staking. I'm not in front of it now so can't troubleshoot, but I was wondering if it was just me having that problem. My computer does need to be replaced, so that may be my issue

Hi Dyna, thank you for sharing this in the BT thread. I was wondering if you could please share the link the the DNotes Telegram group. Thanks in advance

Certainly. Here it is:  https://t.me/joinchat/FB-UaUjrQiji-EBatHLsuA

Thanks Dyna, much appreciated
Quick question. Would it be possible to change the url to be more brand friendly?

Is it safe to send DNotes from my Vault to DNotes QT wallet. I sent a small amount a few days ago but I see they still have not been released. Bit of a silly question, but once they are released from my Dnote vault I assume they will arrive without a problem.

The next batch of DNotesVault transactions are/were scheduled to go out this morning. A little delayed in dealing with the issues. Should go out in a couple hours. However, your method of sending out a smaller amount first and verifying it arrived before sending a larger amount is a great best practice. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks Dyna, it would be easier to find when searching Telegram

Excellent. Thanks, Dan.

All, I am suspending the NOTE/USD NOTE/BTC prices temporarily on the DNotesVault to prevent any confusion. Once we are listed on Cryptopia and the price begins to settle, I will add it back.

Thank you for your patience!

We will wait for the latest news. Any small rumors about the progress of the project, we will be very happy. As you strive for that is what we hope it is.

Thanks suhardi3899, these are our next steps and information we are releasing at this time.

I have noticed some nice future plans published on Twitter:

Fully compliant Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding followed by a Reg A+ Mini-IPO.
DNotes Payment Solution Integration into Existing eCommerce Platforms
Cold Staking Implementation & More

Do you maybe also have any approximate dates set for those plans?

Looking forward for further news and development Keep up the good work, I know that you will not disappoint 

Working to get the Reg D 506 (c) ready, documentation, memorandum, legal and so on, if there are no additional delays it should be ready in a week or two. The Reg A+ Mini-IPO will follow later, towards the end of this year once the Reg D is completed.

From the technology side, we are working on a few back end solutions and customizations. Which we have been discussing how they can be applied and used by everyone, that may result in a few surprises that we can release here shortly.

The process and details for cold staking are mostly worked out. I can give more solid information about the cold staking release when we are closer to testing and completion.

Payment solution integration. We are working now on customizing a block explorer to integrate invoice number, after that we can expand into custom scripts and integration with existing popular payment ecommerce platforms.

i'm new at staking and need some advice. Do I have to have some DNotes in my wallet while it is staking? Or just have it open and unlocked? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi The Chezzz, yep that is correct. You need coins to stake and the more coins you stake with the more often you will be the winner of a block and receive the staking reward.

Hi. Can someone please explain the process of staking a little bit more? Is there any risk involved if I stake my coins?

[DNotes]

Hi. Can someone please explain the process of staking a little bit more? Is there any risk involved if I stake my coins?

Hi Amadeus82, the risk exposure is limited to your ability to ensure the computer you are staking on is safe. The points of risk are: When you create the wallet, before it is encrypted, and when you enter your encryption password. Most people are willing to assume some risk, using simple security methods to limit their exposure, such as: Make multiple backups of encrypted wallets. Ensure you have up to date antivirus / antimalware. Turn off the wifi when entering passwords. Keeping the kids off the PC you are staking on. Or even having a fairly clean and updated pc just for staking.

You can develop methods to eliminate pretty much all of the risk, but the processes can be cumbersome and quite technical. There are many possibilities, but here is one example:
Have a dedicated PC with a boot up clean boot CD or USB image. Boot from the clean image of your OS with no connection to the internet. Create your wallet. Encrypt your wallet. Backup your wallet to a USB drive. Load your wallet and unlock for staking. Connect to the internet. Send in your coins. Each time you have to re-enter the password,  you boot from the clean image with the internet off, and enter the password offline, and only then turn on the internet.

Whoo that seems pretty drastic measures. Is there really such high risk that someone would hack the computer and steal wallet or encryption password? Does that happen often?  

Does the computer has to be turned on for staking to work? If so does it use much processing power, like for mining?

That is correct, I used an extreme example to eliminate all foreseen risk.

While it is unlikely someone will get in and steal your coins using simple security measures, I don't want to downplay it either. The issue may not be how someone can steal them today, but how can they steal them in the future using methods are not known to us today, and how quickly can pc security and anitvirus/anitmalware experts react to it.

That also doesn't take into account the sophistication needed to pull off such an attack successfully. You not only need the encrypted wallet file, but you need the encryption password to go along with it. One of the issues that people who would try to steal coins face is how do they sell their stolen coins when the blockchain records every single transaction and leaves a trail that can be followed. That was one of the issues during the time of silk road, the majority of people using it didn't understand blockchain well enough to realize that they were making it real easy to track them down. Not only that, but they aren't likely looking to attack everyday stakers, they are likely looking for much bigger targets like exchanges.

That is one of the great things about CRISP, you don't have to run your own wallet, you don't have to stake and you can still participate in benefiting from the distribution model.

Thank you for great explanation 

As I have read some time ago, you have also intention to make cold staking from DNotes vault available? In that case that risk you were talking about earlier would probably be eliminated?

Yep, that is why we believe it is a great future upgrade for DNotes. DNotesVault users or other offline storage users will be able to defer their staking rights of their coins to another harmless wallet that could be on a cloud server, or their desktop, or wherever, with no real balance or risk.

[DNotes]

Reminder: Cryptopia DNotes Users - May 11th DNotes will be delisted completely.

Please be sure to withdraw your DNotes from Cryptopia by May 11th, which is the final day for the DNotes delisting.

If you are still participating in the coin swap, you will need to fill out the coin swap form:
https://goo.gl/forms/MlbfqvAQilLglnHZ2
Note: There will be a rigorous verification process starting May 16th for the coin swap. We are bending over backwards to ensure our supporters and stake holders will be able to swap their coins, however we also have a duty to everyone to ensure we are not swapping DNotes for newly mined or purchased DNotes.

I will reach out to everyone participating in the coin swap today and tomorrow to get you a DNotes address if you still need one.

Thank you for patience!
