DNotes 2.0 - Staking, CRISP Interest, DNotes Pay

[Rusmaker]

Hello DNotes team, I am very pleased with the work that you have done. I am new as owner of the Note currency. I did not intend to spend much time with her, but after reading and knowing the project ... I changed my mind. I was very pleased with it, I'm excited about CRISPs (CryptoCurrency Investment Savings Plan). Congratulations.

Hi Rusmaker, and welcome to the DNotes forum.

"I did not intend to spend much time with her, but after reading and knowing the project ... I changed my mind."  - That's great! DNotes is a long term investment and we have done a lot of work to educate people on the merits of DNotes (and cryptocurrency in general) forming a portion of their long term holdings. It is very rewarding to hear from people who took the time to evaluate the DNotes project, and conclude it is a better strategy to hang on to their DNotes.

Welcome to the DNotes forum, Rusmaker. We are happy for you and believe that you make the right choice. CRISPs are amazing creations of Chase who is very committed to educate and encourage everyone to start saving as early as possible. We feel strongly that digital currency, in particular, DNotes is a generational opportunity for everyone to participate, not withstanding just a small an amount one can save on a regular basis. With DNotes 2.0 coupled with DNotesVault and our innovative POS (Proof of Stake) and interest/reward systems long-term DNotes stakeholders can earn a healthy rate of return without having to struggle with a lot of technical challenges common with other coins.

DNotes is different. The more people get to understand what DNotes is about; the more impressed they are. We are totally committed to building a trusted brand which we believe is crucial for DNotes to be successful and eventually gained mass acceptance worldwide. It takes time, unrelenting commitments, and unending dedication. We have been doing this for 3 1/2 years. With comments like yours, we can go on forever. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Thanks Joe! I doubt there is another retirement investment on the planet that had that level of return - $665.00 July 16,2017 to $4166.00 August 23, 2017! That could have saved Social Security - lol. I'm very excited to see DNotes impact on the retirement savings dilemma.

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."

What 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

IRS Reportedly Bought Software to Uncover Bitcoin User Identities

https://dcebrief.com/irs-reportedly-bought-software-to-uncover-bitcoin-user-identities/

I am amazed that so many addresses have been linked to an identity, though they imply that with 'information'. When a bitcoin wallet makes a transaction, it defaults to emptying the source address and depositing any remainder after transaction and fees into a new address. It might seem reasonable to assume that that new address is held by the original wallet owner, but does that have to be the case?

If I wanted to pay TeeGee 4BTC and he was willing to wear the fees. I could pay myself 6BTC from my address that held 10BTC and make the remainder go to an address held by TeeGee. Couldn't I?

I understand wallets as a folder that these addresses are stored in, and I don't think the wallet leaves any prints on the addresses. So it seems to me that there is no way to know from a transaction, which wallets the addresses involved sit in. Maybe this is technically possible, but done so rarely that it is possible for the IRS to link transactions from the initial identified fiat exchange, right through to a final exit back into fiat currency again. But having information on 25% of all addresses seems rather high.

And then there are all the other currencies. I could convert 10BTC to NOTE, pay the NOTE to TeeGee, and then he could convert that back to BTC. I understand that all blockchains keep a permanent record, and it would be conceivable to run software that interconnects those transactions, but processing all of that information wouldn't be cheap. Good luck to the IRS. Though, I'm sure in the future at some point, my phone will be able to do all that in the background while I play Tetris4D.

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.

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 ........

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.

Canada has come out with the most comprehensive ICO guideline to date. I only read it briefly, but it looks as though unless your ICO coin is used in game-play or something similar, it will likely be classified as a security. Here are a few points from the paper:


Canadian Security Administrators - Cryptocurrency Offerings - http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/documents/en/Securities-Category4/csa_20170824_cryptocurrency-offerings.pdf

"Securities laws in Canada will apply if the person or company selling the securities is conducting business from within Canada or if there are Canadian investors.

If an exchange is doing business in a jurisdiction of Canada, it must apply to that jurisdiction’s securities regulatory authority for recognition or an exemption from recognition.

Allowing coins/tokens that are securities issued as part of an ICO/ITO to trade on these cryptocurrency exchanges may also place the business issuing the coins/tokens offside securities laws. For example, the resale of coins/tokens that are securities will be subject to restrictions on secondary trading.

In many ways, an ICO/ITO can be very similar to an initial public offering (IPO). The coins/tokens can be similar to traditional shares of a company because their value may increase or decrease depending on how successfully the business executes its business plan using the capital raised.

Staff is aware of businesses marketing their coins/tokens as software products, taking the position that the coins/tokens are not subject to securities laws. However, in many cases, when the totality of the offering or arrangement is considered, the coins/tokens should properly be considered securities. In assessing whether or not securities laws apply, we will consider substance over form.

Every ICO/ITO is unique and must be assessed on its own characteristics. For example, if an individual purchases coins/tokens that allow him/her to play video games on a platform, it is possible that securities may not be involved. However, if an individual purchases coins/tokens whose value is tied to the future profits or success of a business, these will likely be considered
securities."
