This says a lot about the state of our industry.

How a Billionaire Crypto King Built the No. 1 Exchange in Just 8 Months
March 28, 2018, 11:00 AM CDT

Even in a cryptocurrency industry teeming with overnight success stories, Zhao Changpeng stands out.

In less than eight months, the founder of Binance has grown his company from an idea into the world’s largest digital-asset exchange by traded value. He has vaulted from obscurity to the cover of Forbes magazine, steered Binance to a $200 million profit in its second quarter of existence, and amassed a personal fortune that he claims is worth as much as $2 billion.

But after a meteoric rise that defied financial orthodoxy (Binance doesn’t have a bank account or a public address), the 41-year-old coder-turned-exchange kingpin is now facing headwinds that threaten to send him -- and a big swathe of the cryptocurrency trading complex -- back down to Earth.

Not only have the world’s virtual currencies lost more than half their value since crypto-mania peaked in January, but trading activity has slumped and hackers have stepped up attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges. Perhaps most worryingly for Binance -- which like many of its peers has been operating with little to no oversight -- regulators around the world are clamping down on the Wild West environment that enabled the venue’s breakneck growth.

Zhao abandoned his plan to build a base in Japan last month, following inquiries from the nation’s securities regulator that led to an official notice to stop operating in the country without a license. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission has also issued warnings to Binance and several of its peers in recent months, telling the exchanges to refrain from trading cryptocurrencies that qualify as securities, a person familiar with the matter said.

Don't miss this interview.

Where do you think cryptocurrency is headed? Do you think digital currency is going to replace flat currency?

I have no doubt that digital currency, with its underpinning blockchain technology, is here to stay. This is a natural progression of the Digital Age that started with the emergence of personal computers and wireless communication in the early 1980s.

We are now hyper-connected globally as well as wirelessly. Any two parties with an internet connection can pay one another directly with digital currency, without the participation of a central authority or a trusted party. Before long, anything that can be digitized will be digitized, including digital assets. That means everything will be represented as a digital token and stored in the blockchain as an immutable record with a time stamp. This will have many world-changing implications

I said what on JUN 14, 2015?

"My goodness, how could I hand over my life savings, if no one could be held responsible or would stand by it to give me the confidence that it is in good hands? To me, it is hard-earned money no matter what you call it; commodity, property, or virtual currency of no intrinsic value. These I believe are the serious problems confronting our industry, keeping it from gaining traction towards mainstream acceptance."

DNotes 2.0 Launch Scheduled for Early April (Exact Date TBD)

POS
2% Annualized Staking Reward
Individual blocks reward will be Total Coins / 525,600
60 Second Block Target
0.005 Transaction Fee
Source: https://github.com/DNotesCoin/DNotes2.0
Directory DNotes2
CONF dnotes.conf (all lower case)
Windows and Linux wallets will be available at launch. MAC to follow shortly after.

The launch will include the following features:
CRISP Reward - 0.5% interest every 30 days. Awarded by address. Calculated on a 30 day cycle.
Automated Invoicing (First Phase) - Integrated blockchain invoice number

The next update (TBD) will include:
Deferred Staking

There will be a soft deadline where DNotes mined after that block will not be redeemable for 2.0 coins:
4/16/2018
Block# 2180897
133,574,552 Will be the total swappable amount of DNotes we create
+20,000,000 Allocated to DNotes Global, Inc for Development & Growth Fund
153,574,552 Total DNotes 2.0 Created

DNotes 2.0 Swap process
All DNotes on the DNotesVault will be automatically swapped for users. The DNotesVault will be down an estimated 2 days to complete the DNotesVault swap. There will be an extended period before and after the swap where withdrawals will be disabled, with a target of 4 days and no more than 7. So please be aware if you would like to have immediate access to your DNotes around the time of the swap, you will want to withdraw them.

All other users will be able to fill out a form or email us to perform a manual swap where they will have to send us their DNotes in exchange for DNotes 2.0.

All coins can be swapped until the Soft Deadline 4/16/2018. Including all newly mined coins up to Block# 2180897.

We have reached out to the exchanges to either briefly delist DNotes, and provide two recommended options:
1) Delist DNotes prior to the swap, requesting their users to remove their DNotes by the deadline. Then relist DNotes with the DNotes 2.0 build.
2) Take DNotes down for maintenance prior to the launch, send us their DNotes to be swapped for DNotes 2.0, notifying their users of the upcoming swap, and bring DNotes back up after the swap has taken place.
The alternative is they continue to list and trade old DNotes, and later do one of the above two options.

Prior to the soft deadline we will notify the mining pools of the upcoming soft deadline and request that they inform their users of the change, and stop mining DNotes at the soft deadline.

After the soft deadline, there will be a fork in the old DNotes network, which we will maintain, for late comers to still be able to swap their coins. No newly mined old DNotes, mined after the soft deadline will be honored for the swap process. Each case after the soft deadline will be reviewed and handled on a case by case basis.



The DNotesVault is scheduled to temporarily shut down on the April 1st, in preparation of the launch of DNotes 2.0.

If you would like to withdraw any DNotes before the swap, please do so on or before April 1st.

Any DNotes deposits after the first will be reviewed and handled after the swap is complete, expect delays, so be sure to make any deposits that you can before April 1st.

After the launch of DNotes 2.0 and the DNotesVault swap is complete we will begin the manual swap process. As a reminder the soft deadline for the manual swap will be April 16th.

Thank you!

In a sea of red, comforting headlines are rare. I found one  and agree that reasonable regulation is good for the industry. The wild west conduct, pump and dump, and the craziness of get rich quick ICOs are obviously not sustainable. Unfortunately, they also come with consequences, of which we are all paying for it now. 

This is a cleaning out process, much like the personal computer and dot com eras. They were easy businesses to get in, but also easy to get killed. This is a good time take a good look at your portfolio. Doing your homework is more important than ever.

Bitcoin price 'BOOST': Increased crypto regulation is 'going to be GOOD' for investors
By JOSEPH CAREY
PUBLISHED: 00:50, Fri, Mar 30, 2018 | UPDATED: 00:50, Fri, Mar 30, 2018

BITCOIN’S price could skyrocket and turn around a period of tumultuous declines thanks to an increased regulation that may be good news for investors, the head of mobile at a cryptocurrency exchange has claimed.

Ed Cooper, from Revolut, told Express.co.uk that 2018 is going to be an “exciting year” for Bitcoin investors and that further regulation will add “more legitimacy” to the market.

He said: “2018 will definitely be an exciting year for cryptocurrencies.

“Increased regulation will be positive as it will add more legitimacy to the space and allow businesses to have much clearer guidelines when dealing with cryptocurrencies, whereas previously there has been uncertainty which has stunted growth.”

Mr Cooper added that the huge adoption of virtual money is based on its “underlying technology” and predicted that Bitcoin is going to emerge from its current period of declines stronger than ever.
He commented: “The popularity of the cryptocurrencies is based on the underlying technology and not on advertising.

“Initial coin investments (ICOs) and cryptocurrencies have faced lot more serious problems in the past and have emerged stronger.

“This time is not going to be any different.”

The member of Revolut was eager to discuss a new Bitcoin technology named Segwit, short for Segregated Witness, that is an upgrade for the cryptocurrency that changes how data is kept on the platform.
He declared that the upgrade will deliver “decreased network congestion, improved confirmation times and lower fees”.

Mr Cooper explained: “One example is the increasing adoption of Segwit on the Bitcoin network, which is a change to the transaction format which improves the performance of the network.

“Several large exchanges such as Coinbase are planning to upgrade to SegWit, and the new Bitcoin Core wallet will also support it, which will result in decreased network congestion, improved confirmation times and lower fees.”
Bitcoin started harnessing SegWit back in August 2017 and has been hailed by many enthusiasts as a solution to scaling problems that have plagued the virtual money.

The adoption of cryptocurrency exchanges could lead to greater Bitcoin adoption and thus a surge in prices.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $7,615.07 at the time of writing.
The cryptocurrency has shaved off a shocking $2,695.53 from its value in the last month that will have surely sent mass worries to investors.

The horrific decline marks a fall of 26.14 per cent for the visual money in the last month.

Huge declines and spikes in Bitcoin prices demonstrate the monstrous volatility of the cryptocurrency sphere.

Hi team.I may be interested in seeing the progress of the project and looking this ICO success. Project indeed great, let's see how the team in the project can make this ICO run smoothly.


Hi quetheygafen, 

Thank you for visiting us. We are doing well and about to launch the highly anticipated DNotes 2.0 very soon.

DNotes 2.0, DNotesVault and our ecosystems will set us apart from the rest of our industry’s pack even more. For four years we have been steadfast in our vision and commitment to be the inclusive trusted digital currency for everyone to participate – ultimately gaining mainstream adoption in global commerce. While we still have a long way to go, we are one step closer.

Please take note that DNotes is not involved in any ICO. We are working on Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Tier 2 to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide, during the later half of this year. It’s a long and costly process.

As I wrote earlier: “I wish that ICOs can be structured and conducted in manners that meet existing security laws, either through registration or exemption. Unfortunately, without significant changes to existing laws, it is simply not possible. To date, the issuers of ICO tokens are exclusively decentralized entities without any central authority. However, the money collected goes to individuals, partnership or incorporated companies purportedly are working on some great ideas presented in a white paper. The investors have no ownership or voting rights in the private entity that received the investment.”

Here is the conundrum. Technologies often get ahead of regulations. In the case of ICOs, way ahead, and in a massive way. Over $6 billion has been raised worldwide with no sign of slowing down. None of the ICOs have been registered with the SEC. Unlike corporate shares, there are no provisions, existing rules, and regulations governing decentralized entities. Furthermore, SEC does not have the means of obtaining and maintaining full disclosure of all essential information that are important for the investors to make an informed decision.

SEC Chairman Jay Clayton recently made this statement: “Investors should understand that to date no initial coin offerings have been registered with the SEC.”  https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2017/12/125792-sec-chairman-jay-clayton-issues-statement-initial-coin-offerings-cryptocurrencies/

It's ironic that many cryptocurrencies claim they are going to replace fiat, and on the other hand are upset when their value drops vs fiat.

One trend I have noticed is how many investors and industry insiders are quick to blame regulators for all of cryptocurrency's price problems, while failing to place any blame on the bad actors who engaged in shoddy ethics. It will be a welcome change to have a set of rules that all legitimate cryptocurrencies play by. Now all the scam artists, intellectual property thieves, and their ilk will get what they deserve; a currency that is only tradable among other conmen. Nations do have a right to protect their fiat currency from outside threats. I'm all for freedom and deregulation, but when an individual uses their increased freedom to infringe upon someone else's, that becomes a huge problem.

There has to be more barriers to becoming a blue chip in this industry and I think we've found one; many projects won't hold up to regulatory scrutiny or be tradable in a significant number of countries. They may have 12 trillion dollars in volume and a quadrillion dollar (pre-revenue) market cap, according to a fraudulent black market exchange trading in and out of counterfeit representations of fiat currency, but they will never find their way onto legitimate financial networks like DNotes and a few others will.

BITCOIN’S price could skyrocket and turn around a period of tumultuous declines thanks to an increased regulation that may be good news for investors, the head of mobile at a cryptocurrency exchange has claimed.

Ed Cooper, from Revolut, told Express.co.uk that 2018 is going to be an “exciting year” for Bitcoin investors and that further regulation will add “more legitimacy” to the market.

He said: “2018 will definitely be an exciting year for cryptocurrencies.

“Increased regulation will be positive as it will add more legitimacy to the space and allow businesses to have much clearer guidelines when dealing with cryptocurrencies, whereas previously there has been uncertainty which has stunted growth.”

Mr Cooper added that the huge adoption of virtual money is based on its “underlying technology” and predicted that Bitcoin is going to emerge from its current period of declines stronger than ever.
He commented: “The popularity of the cryptocurrencies is based on the underlying technology and not on advertising.

“Initial coin investments (ICOs) and cryptocurrencies have faced lot more serious problems in the past and have emerged stronger.

“This time is not going to be any different.”

The member of Revolut was eager to discuss a new Bitcoin technology named Segwit, short for Segregated Witness, that is an upgrade for the cryptocurrency that changes how data is kept on the platform.
He declared that the upgrade will deliver “decreased network congestion, improved confirmation times and lower fees”.

Mr Cooper explained: “One example is the increasing adoption of Segwit on the Bitcoin network, which is a change to the transaction format which improves the performance of the network.

“Several large exchanges such as Coinbase are planning to upgrade to SegWit, and the new Bitcoin Core wallet will also support it, which will result in decreased network congestion, improved confirmation times and lower fees.”
Bitcoin started harnessing SegWit back in August 2017 and has been hailed by many enthusiasts as a solution to scaling problems that have plagued the virtual money.

The adoption of cryptocurrency exchanges could lead to greater Bitcoin adoption and thus a surge in prices.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $7,615.07 at the time of writing.
The cryptocurrency has shaved off a shocking $2,695.53 from its value in the last month that will have surely sent mass worries to investors.

The horrific decline marks a fall of 26.14 per cent for the visual money in the last month.

Huge declines and spikes in Bitcoin prices demonstrate the monstrous volatility of the cryptocurrency sphere.

It's ironic that many cryptocurrencies claim they are going to replace fiat, and on the other hand are upset when their value drops vs fiat.

One trend I have noticed is how many investors and industry insiders are quick to blame regulators for all of cryptocurrency's price problems, while failing to place any blame on the bad actors who engaged in shoddy ethics. It will be a welcome change to have a set of rules that all legitimate cryptocurrencies play by. Now all the scam artists, intellectual property thieves, and their ilk will get what they deserve; a currency that is only tradable among other conmen. Nations do have a right to protect their fiat currency from outside threats. I'm all for freedom and deregulation, but when an individual uses their increased freedom to infringe upon someone else's, that becomes a huge problem.

There has to be more barriers to becoming a blue chip in this industry and I think we've found one; many projects won't hold up to regulatory scrutiny or be tradable in a significant number of countries. They may have 12 trillion dollars in volume and a quadrillion dollar (pre-revenue) market cap, according to a fraudulent black market exchange trading in and out of counterfeit representations of fiat currency, but they will never find their way onto legitimate financial networks like DNotes and a few others will.

Brandon, it may sound a little harsh but unfortunately that is the sad realities of our industry. There has to be some law and order in dealing with our hard earned money. The cleaning up and cleaning out process will continue for sometime. Meanwhile, it is hurting our industry and all of us as investors.

DNotes will stay the course. This is a risky time to be betting on the wrong horse. I fear that many will not survive the test of time or the rule of law. Do your home work and invest with caution. The technology is here to stay. Many of the coins may not.
