New YouTube Video -- Using DNotes Pay For Pay-Per-Period Services

Demonstrating the use case of DNotes pay for pay-per-period subscription-based services. We show how software can be purchased on a casual, per-use, or ongoing basis charged at small fractional levels. We will be following up with another video that shows how our trading bot can be used.

Check it out here:

Great job on the video Tim!

DNotes Pay, Pay-Per-Period is a unique way for software developers to sell their software. Even if you are not a software developer I recommend watching the video demonstration.

Pay-Per-Period, especially when dealing with smaller transactions, doesn't make sense when using traditional payment processing methods. This model opens up new opportunities for developers that will make their software more competitive in the marketplace.

Some of the benefits include:
Makes it possible to accept many small payments instead of paying a fee on every transaction and losing most of your profit to the payment processing companies.
Makes it possible to accept payments directly from the software without the need for a server side payment processing.
Payments are made directly from one party to another without the need for a middle man.
Makes it possible for customers to use software on their terms.
Makes it possible for the customer to test the software before paying full price.
& more

I'm sure many of you can relate to this scenario if you ever needed software for a one time use, or software that you might only use once in a while, and couldn't justify the price or justify locking yourself into some subscription agreement. So you either try to find some alternative, open source or free, or you just skip what it is you are working on. But imagine instead, you could just purchase access to that software for just 1 day for a very small fee? Would you be much more likely to purchase and use that software?

This is something a software developer can use and significantly benefit from today. Although there is still a fee if you want to exchange your DNotes into cash, but it can be a single fee for hundreds or thousands of transactions instead of paying hundreds or thousands of individual fees.

The source code for integration, in C# is available here:
https://github.com/DNotesCoin/dnotespay-sw-poc

That's a brilliant solution to a very common problem. I can't count the number of times I have either purchased software that I only needed to use for an hour or two every few months. And there have been even more instances in which I have decided not to purchase useful software because I only needed to use it for one or two quick operations and couldn't justify the expense. By providing a new way for that software to be sold on an as-needed basis, you can eliminate that frustration users sometimes experience when they purchase something they rarely need to use, and provide developers with an opportunity to avoid missing out on those customer transactions. Talk about a win-win...

I would, but that charming smiley face makes it impossible to ignore.

Right! I hate the fact that you can't delete a post that was in error so, "Smiley" will have to stand in and take the credit...

Oh, BTW, for anyone interested, Mercatox got my transfer "unstuck". I can put up with "growing pains" as long as tech support is responsive, and theirs is.

KUDOS to Mercatox' support team! 

That is fantastic. Mercatox does seem to be very responsive, especially when you consider where they're at in their development as an exchange. Even some more well-known and established exchanges have endured these types of tech concerns, and some of them took even longer to acknowledge the need for improved customer service and responsiveness (Coinbase, for example, was very slow to realize the need for improvements in that area. They're much better now).

The good news is that any future DNotes exchange will have that focus on customer service baked into the cake before it's placed in the oven, rather than adding it as frosting after it's been sitting on the counter for several days.

Alan,

Just finished listening to your SoundCloud interview and I have to compliment you, nice job! You really made the case for Crypto explaining the issues with Fiat and governments. Very clear and concise. That quote the interviewer made from Machiavelli really sums up the state of the industry with one caveat, I think crypto supporters are more than "lukewarm", in fact, they are fanatics in most cases!  Grin

An excellent interview with one of the industry's most compelling personalities, and a far cry from the typical self-promotion and focus on speculative value that we so often see from other people in the industry. Alan has a knack for bringing any discussion back to the issues that people really care about. The average person hears "digital currency" and wonders why they should care about it. How does it impact their lives? What problems is it trying to solve? In short, why does it matter? Well, it does matter, but it takes a visionary futurist like Alan to make that case in terms that even laypeople can understand. Well done, Mr. Yong.

Great Interview Alan!

So I was looking at the dnotescoin.com, I dont see anything about the payment network. I think it may be a little easier for people to find that information to get started or at least understand it enough to feel like contacting you for more info.

just a thought,

New Video Uploaded To Our YouTube -- How To Accept DNotes On Your WordPress Website

A video tutorial showing how to install and use the DNotes Pay WordPress plugin that showcases our new automated payment scripts. DNotes Pay is one of the, if not the world's first solutions that completely removes middlemen in the payment process, while also requiring no specialist knowledge nor hardware to setup.  

Check it out at the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqKmqHiIXGk

I saw this one. Great work on developing a WordPress plugin aimed at eCommerce. This is going to be a game-changer for DNotes. We just need a few large eCommerce sites based on the WordPress platform to start using the plugin and bam, DNotes will find itself a new and lucrative market. If I may, I would recommend contacting RedBubble, Society6 and Threadless and perhaps find out if they would be willing to integrate the DNotes automated payment scripts into their platform. Keep up the good work

Great idea, these sites where people can open their own shop for their own designs and creations? That could be a good market for the beginning integration into the commercial world. Brings to mind creator contribution systems like Patreon as well.

I agree! These videos will initially create global integration. Relying on these videos, people can open their own shop to create their own designs and creations. But I think video is not enough, they need something so they can use the technology of the project.

Appreciate the suggestion mrbum805 always glad to hear from you. It is on our radar, but there are a few challenges yet and things we need to decide on, aside from what RJF mentioned. For now they will remain as announcements in our blog/websites/social and github as script resources for those that would like to integrate them where they see fit. This is more like the alpha release of the scripts. We will likely have a section on our homepage dedicated to DNotes Pay once we have a couple more options and move it out of alpha. I could throw something up, but I think the blog and our announcements serve that purpose well enough for now.

First, what is the minimum necessary scripts that we need so that the majority of people can integrate DNotes Pay into their websites. As of right now, we have scripts that are unique and serve specific purposes, some of which meet needs that no other payment solution can. Such as automatic digital delivery of digital products, and software pay per period. They can be used in many other ways as well, but not the ideal solutions for many applications. To really meet the needs of majority we need a custom cart integration script, maybe our own full cart script, and integrations into the most popular shopping carts.

Second we need to figure out how to direct people to the proper scripts that fit their need. A decision tree or categorized sections may be the best options, but we haven't fully decided yet. The decision tree grouped by product offering might look like this:

Software / Digital products / Information / Services / Physical products.

If they select software - Is it one time purchase or would you like to use pay per period.
If it's one time purchase, do they have a website to accept the payment or would they like to integrate it into their software.
If it's pay per period, you can direct them to the appropriate pay per period script for their supported language.

Each of the categories will have multiple options.

At any rate, we haven't focused much energy on creating the section as we know it's not quite ready to be created yet. It is beginning to take shape even as I attempt to explain it here.

[TeeGee]

Having our own shopping cart that is easy to implement on all major platforms would definitely be a winner I think. As it seems quite clear, with so many different product types and delivery options, there are a wide variety of scripts that will need to be coded to cover all of these uses. Having our own cart would make it very simple for software developers and other people that sell other types of product.

If I may, would it be possible to have an escrow feature built into the plugin? I know some people are skeptical about buying products/services from unknown individuals. An escrow feature can eliminate some of that fear. Buyer will deposit NOTE coins into escrow account and payment will only be released by a vetted DNotes moderator (small fee charged by moderator for time) once the seller delivers on his/her promise. I would give anything for this feature

I love that idea and I would love to have an escrow system that solves the escrow problem, the problem to solve there is dispute mitigation. That is quite a challenge for freelancers and employers. Employer puts up the escrowed funds based on an agreement of work or service delivered. The freelancers job is to meet the requirements and the employer can release the escrow whenever the work or service is completed to their satisfaction. If the work is not delivered or there is a dispute in the work or service delivered then we need a moderator or a group of moderators to determine if the criteria was actually met. In a dispute, someone always looses though.

Who gets to be a moderator and how are they compensated for their time? How is the dispute process structured to minimize losses on both sides?
