I wonder if that's what's behind the most recent BTC price drop. Hopefully Coinbase has another banking partner already. I'm moving up to the "big leagues" with bot trading--the USD-BTC market on Bittrex--which is why I know exactly what the BTC price is doing right now. (adds several new trading pairs to stay ahead of the BTC price free fall). I like this market because it moves a lot, so my trading pairs see a lot of action. In contrast, the BTC-XEM market which I started out with (and am still in) can be quite slow, which makes it a great market to learn the ropes on. Hopefully, with the amount of money they handle I'm sure there will be plenty of banking partners lined up to work with them. Nice! Glad to hear it. |

We are amidst the next great Crypto Boom. And DNotes is now at 20 satoshis and falling. From Paul Graham's Twitter a few days ago... "The reason most founders are surprised by the difficulty of fundraising is that they're learning something about themselves, not something about fundraising. They know fundraising is hard for startups that don't seem appealing to investors. They just didn't realize they had one."I've always appreciated the DNotes project. But as it currently stands, there seems to be zero sense of urgency. This project has lost 98% of it's value. And there is little revenue to support funding. How is the team going to position itself to benefit from this next boom cycle? HERo is a nice idea, but I have been on the Board of a rapidly growing non-profit called MakerGirl, for years. I can tell you that even the most well-marketed, well-meaning projects in the female empowerment space....are still incredibly hard to grow in terms of revenue. Let alone projects which are couched themselves in niches like blockchain. What else do we got, besides HERo? Any technology or blockchain innovations coming down the line (moving to PoS was always a great North Star for the community to point to)? What other markets and use cases is DNotes approaching? Alan is wrapping up some business and once we launch the new membership platform, our focus will be entirely on HERo as the first stage of the effort to increase revenue and prove the model for investors. Yes, fundraising is hard and the key investor push-back of revenue was anticipated, though we were hopeful to find the right investors that could see the potential. The new membership platform is several months in the making and we have been working very hard to not only develop but also working towards building up a team and potential partnerships. It is much more broad in target and groups such as the one you are on the board of will be able to benefit from the platform. The success of the groups based on our research have been dependent upon their ability to branch out and organize locally. That is one of the ways in which HERo will be helpful to these groups, providing them with a platform that makes it easy to collaborate, find people and organize, start local chapters, etc... We are currently wrapping up development and moving into the testing phase. Can you also tell more about expected launch date or is it still to early? About one month ago Alan told that he expect official launch in about 60 days...that should mean approximately in one month from now (beginning of September). Is still realistic to expect it then, or did you run in any obstacles which could eventually postopne the launch date? Yes, as long as we don't encounter any major issues, and we don't anticipate any, then we should be launching end of August or beginning of September. I must admit that I am little excited about official HERo launch  Is everything going according to the plan? Do you have any official launch date yet? Is there anything else going on behind the scenes that we can look forward to, or all efforts are for now focused on HERo and preparation for official launch? There had not been a lot of updates lately and I am sure that all who are following your project would be interested in a little status update, if nothing else at least just out of curiosity  |

We are currently testing all of the features and looking towards any final changes we want to send to the developer before the official launch, which shouldn't be much longer. We are also looking at some of the initial content for the discussion boards and other information we would like the site to launch with -- because HERo takes features from a combination of Quora, Reddit, and Yelp. It's been a work in progress and we're really pleased to have it all just about ready to launch. |

TeeGee, combination which you mentioned seems really interesting. I was not aware those features It will be interesting to see how everything will turn out, though I am positive that it will be great. Anyway, if you will need any help with testing features of the page before going fully online let me know. Either PM me here, or on Telegram.

Working out a few more issues then will invite everyone to do some testing with us. I am quite happy with how it's turning out and excited for the launch. |

I see Binance have figured a solution that works much better for companies, without threatening government fiat money hegemony. If they make a few further tweaks to their model, they might have a paper that looks like the one I gave to the New Zealand Reserve Bank Governor more than a year ago. My current understanding is that it requires a lot of multi-agency collaboration to get anything over the line for such approvals -- reserve banks will want control over all money in an economy, meanwhile they will also deflect the creation of stablecoins (or any attempt to raise money using them) as falling under the purview of other agencies. That said, Binance have the brand recognition to get it over the line. |
