Risk Reduction Strategies in Cryptocurrency Investing: Part 1 – Education

Successful investing requires work, yet many people put no more effort into choosing a cryptocurrency than they do in picking a lottery ticket. They listen to what media correspondents have to say, many of whom are just discovering bitcoin themselves. They fall for “buy the top ten”, “the next bitcoin”, hot tips, buy recommendations from self-serving holders of questionable currencies and tokens, and all kinds of other illogical people and places that shouldn’t be recommending anything.

Everyone should learn as much as they can about any potential investment, and that is especially true with cryptocurrencies and initial-coin-offerings (ICOs). They are new and creating a lot of wealth, which makes them a perfect hideout for fraudsters taking advantage of the lack of knowledge people have about them. Even if you know nothing about technology, you can still learn about cryptocurrency as an investment and how to protect yourself.

Another excellent article Chase!

Agreed. Another fantastic article. Very proud of the DNotesEDU team for providing excellent materials in support of Cryptocurrency Education Week.

On a different front, I am reaching out to the business world with four more confirmed radio interviews and an article on "Why Negotiations Fail" for Smart Manager Magazine, a top print Indian business publication. Yes, we are casting a very wide net. It takes time and great efforts. But that is to right path to mass adoption of DNotes in global commerce.

Welcome to the new face of financial literacy!


Financial Literacy Needs to Include Knowledge on Cryptocurrency





We are rapidly moving toward a digital world, and while it may be some time before artificial intelligence is cleaning your bathroom, digital money is already knocking on the door. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are starting to make the push into the current financial system, and without some basic ‘money education’, a lot of people will fall behind even further – not just financially, but also in terms of opportunity.

April is Financial Literacy Month in the United States, and a good time to bring awareness of the need for accurate, beginner-level educational material on cryptocurrency. The level of misinformation and deceptive, if not fraudulent promotion is more than just a little disturbing. Equally disturbing in the world of cryptocurrency and initial coin offerings (ICO), is the number of people believing everything they hear or read because they lack subject knowledge. They believe the media, they believe the guy at work, and worst of all, they believe it’s possible to earn 30% per month because that’s what the ad said.

DNotes 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is new with DNotes 2.0?

A: DNotes 2.0 is a major improvement on the original DNotes blockchain. The new blockchain will allow DNotes and its partner company DNotes Global to achieve its objective to connect DNotes to the modern world of finance and commerce. The new blockchain is faster, more secure, and consumes only a fraction of the electricity. It also allows custom invoices to be created and attached to transactions, and changes the economic incentives of the network to one that encourages savings with the switch to the Proof-Of-Stake algorithm, and paying 0.5% interest on balances that haven’t moved from a wallet address in a 30 day period (~6% per annum).

The next update (TBD) will include:

Q: How do I swap my coins?

A: DNotes stored on the DNotesVault are automatically swapped for you, you don’t need to take any action as the swap process has been done on your behalf.

For new coins you would like to swap, from an exchange, a local wallet, paper wallet, that were not already located on the DNotesVault:

If you do not already have a DNotesVault account, register here: https://dnotesvault.com/register
Login to your DNotesVault account.
Click “historic” at the top.
If you don't have any addresses yet, click create address.
Send your old DNotes to one of your historical addresses.
The DNotes you send will then be converted to the new DNotes 2.0 coins, and will show in your new DNotes wallet under “dashboard” after we have completed the swap process.
Note: Please allow some time for this process to complete.

Q: I had a DNotes Vault account with DNotes in it before the swap. Have my old DNotes been swapped into the new coins?

A: Yes. We have taken care of swapping all coins held at the DNotes Vault at the time of the upgrade. You don’t need to take any action.


Q: I found some DNotes from the old blockchain, can I still swap them for the new DNotes tokens?

A: Yes, we will continue to run the old blockchain and give a reasonable period of time for people to swap their DNotes to the new DNotes 2.0 tokens. We recommend that users take action to swap their coins as soon as possible, and may treat swaps on a case by case basis.

Q: I have a paper wallet. How do I turn them into the new coins?

A: You will need to download the DNotes v1.2 software, and then use the importprivkey command in the debug console.


https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5941/how-do-i-import-a-private-key-into-bitcoin-core

Once your wallet is updated, you will be able to send out your DNotes.

Q: What is the cutoff date for mined DNotes that can be swapped to the new DNotes blockchain?

A: We have set April 16th as the soft deadline. No DNotes mined after this date will be eligible to be swapped to DNotes running on the new blockchain. We will continue swap DNotes after that date, however the process will not be as easy and will take more time. Any DNotes 1.x purchased on exchanges after the 16th will not be eligible for the swap.

Q: What is Staking?

A: Staking your coins helps to support the DNotes network, and the network currently pays out roughly 5 DNotes every minute to one address on the network based on a probability that centers on how many coins the user is staking with as a percentage of the total number of coins being staked on the network. The DNotes network pays out ~2% of the total number of coins per annum. If 100% of DNotes were being used to stake on the network, then by probability each user could expect 2% growth in the number of coins they have. If only 50% of coins are used to stake, then those users could expect approximately 4% growth that year.

Q: Can I stake my coins on the DNotesVault?

A: You cannot currently stake your coins that are on the DNotesVault, you will need to withdraw your DNotes 2.0 to a local wallet and stake your coins from your local wallet. We will in a future release incorporate cold staking, which will allow you stake your coins while they are safely tucked away inside the DNotesVault. However, we do not have an ETA, it will be one of our highest priorities for next upgrades.

Q: How do I stake?

Disclaimer: It is recommended that you properly secure your computer and wallet, as well as make proper backups, before attempting to run your own staking wallet. Failure to properly secure your DNotes may result in loss or theft. If you are not familiar with the process, please start off small and familiarize yourself with the process.

You will need to download the DNotes QT wallet here: https://github.com/DNotesCoin/DNotes2.0/releases/tag/v2.0.0.0

Install the wallet (and we recommend creating a backup)
Go to settings, and then ‘encrypt wallet’. Enter your password twice (and do NOT forget it, or you will not be able to access the wallet and we can not help you).
Go to settings, and then ‘unlock wallet’, enter your password, and select “for staking only”. This will prevent any transfers from being made from your wallet without the password while you stake your coins.
Soon the arrow at the bottom will turn green. This means that your coins are now staking.
   
   You can watch a video of these steps here from our alpha release here:
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w9r2LoXM6c


Q: How do I earn the interest reward?

A: Our Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan (CRISP) payouts occur approximately once per month. All coins that haven’t moved address during that month period will accrue a 0.5% interest, which compounds to roughly 6.17% per annum. If you move your coins during that time, those coins will not receive the interest for that month.

Q: What exchanges are DNotes listed on?

A: Cryptopia, Nova, Yobit, & Trade By Trade

Q: Will DNotes 2.0 be listed on new exchanges?

A: The DNotes team are working to get DNotes listed on new and larger exchanges.

Q: When will Cryptopia relist DNotes 2.0?

A: Cryptopia is starting the delisting process and they have advised they will connect us with their relisting team once the DNotes have been removed from the exchange, in order to prevent confusion.

Q: Are the new DNotes 2.0 coins worth the same as the old coins?

A: Yes, they are worth exactly the same. However we can not predict what price movements will occur at exchanges once DNotes is relisted using the new coins.

Q: I have DNotes on the exchange, do I need to remove them from the exchange?

A: Yes, as soon as possible. Please see “How do I swap my coins?”

Q: I have Mac or Specific Linux OS, will there be wallets for these?  

A: Yes, these are among our high priority items to get done as soon as possible.

We have been working hard at DNotesEDU to get ready for the 1st Cryptocurrency Education Week starting on Sunday, April 8th. Just to clarify (so I don't get in trouble, lol) - the contests and giveaways are through social media and have nothing to do with Bitcointalk. Please do whatever you can to help by sharing as much as possible. Thank you!!





Cryptocurrency Education Week  


As part of Financial Literacy Month in the United States, DNotesEDU will be hosting Cryptocurrency Education Week from April 8th - 14th, 2018.

The goal is to raise awareness of the need for free, accurate, and unbiased introductory educational material on cryptocurrency. To achieve mainsteam adoption there needs to be a strong focus on investor protection, and while cryptocurrency education is the key to accomplishing this, it is also a favorite bait of fraudsters and their schemes. Quality educational material is honest about the risks involved, and does not make specific coin or token recommendations. There is no reference to anything that sounds like guaranteed high returns, earn $millions, hot tips, secrets that you have to pay for, or any other too-good-to-be-true claims. Educational material should be inclusive and empowering - it should teach you how to make decisions for yourself.

Contests and giveaways

During the week, we will be giving away DNotes digital currency to random lucky winners that have been sharing DNotesEDU cryptocurrency educational material on social media.
Make sure your posts contain #CryptocurrencyEducationWeek  @DNotesEDU so we can find you when searching.
Keep an eye out for additional contests and random, instant giveaways held throughout the week that will be announced on Facebook and Twitter.
At the end of the week, every eligible post has a chance to win a Grand Prize Draw of 5,000 DNotes, plus numerous runner-up prizes!

The DNotesVault Automatic Swap to DNotes 2.0 has been completed and no further action is required for DNotes that were held in the DNotesVault.

However, any DNotes held in other locations such as exchanges, or your own desktop wallet, will still need to be swapped for DNotes 2.0. Click here for swap instructions.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at any time at contact@dnotescoin.com.

Thank you!

I logged in to DNotesVault and see that the deposit address is changed. So I guess the swap of my coins is done.

Question:

Will coins on Dnotesvault stake automatically, or we just lose staking opportunities by keeping our coins there?

Yep, all done.

The coins will not automatically stake in the DNotesVault. They will however receive CRISP reward (0.5% every 30 days for balances that remained at the same address for entirety of the 30 days).

I have to double check exact dates / blocks, but effectively no one will get the first CRISP payment as all balances have been moved.

If you would like to stake as well as receive CRISP, you will have to withdraw your DNotes from the DNotesVault.

We plan to release cold staking as soon as we can, once we do, that will allow DNotesVault users to stake and earn CRISP, while keeping their DNotes safely tucked away in the DNotesVault.

It does not sound good enough.

May I suggest to add staking on DNotesVault in the future? It should be easy to implement, and can help secure the network too.

Risk Reduction Strategies in Cryptocurrency Investing: Part 2 – Research





In order to reduce risk when investing, doing your own research is a must. Unfortunately most people don’t know how, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency and ICOs. Judging from what is going on in the market, most people are simply following the path of everyone else, relying on unsubstantiated “hot tips” and hype. Successful investing requires work – there is no lazy route to easy money. Without doing your own research, you may end up following the herd and investing in projects that often end up in the 90% fail bucket.

A 2007 survey conducted by the FINRA Foundation found that 70% of fraud victims invested based on the advice of friends, family, and co-workers.

You may think you have done your own research before investing in a cryptocurrency or ICO, but have you really?

Q: I have DNotes on the exchange, do I need to remove them from the exchange?

A: Yes, as soon as possible. Please see “How do I swap my coins?”

Q: I have Mac or Specific Linux OS, will there be wallets for these?  

A: Yes, these are among our high priority items to get done as soon as possible.



If you have any other queries, please email contact@dnotescoin.com

We have been working hard at DNotesEDU to get ready for the 1st Cryptocurrency Education Week starting on Sunday, April 8th. Just to clarify (so I don't get in trouble, lol) - the contests and giveaways are through social media and have nothing to do with Bitcointalk. Please do whatever you can to help by sharing as much as possible. Thank you!!

Cryptocurrency Education Week  


As part of Financial Literacy Month in the United States, DNotesEDU will be hosting Cryptocurrency Education Week from April 8th - 14th, 2018.

The goal is to raise awareness of the need for free, accurate, and unbiased introductory educational material on cryptocurrency. To achieve mainsteam adoption there needs to be a strong focus on investor protection, and while cryptocurrency education is the key to accomplishing this, it is also a favorite bait of fraudsters and their schemes. Quality educational material is honest about the risks involved, and does not make specific coin or token recommendations. There is no reference to anything that sounds like guaranteed high returns, earn $millions, hot tips, secrets that you have to pay for, or any other too-good-to-be-true claims. Educational material should be inclusive and empowering - it should teach you how to make decisions for yourself.

Contests and giveaways

During the week, we will be giving away DNotes digital currency to random lucky winners that have been sharing DNotesEDU cryptocurrency educational material on social media.
Make sure your posts contain #CryptocurrencyEducationWeek  @DNotesEDU so we can find you when searching.
Keep an eye out for additional contests and random, instant giveaways held throughout the week that will be announced on Facebook and Twitter.
At the end of the week, every eligible post has a chance to win a Grand Prize Draw of 5,000 DNotes, plus numerous runner-up prizes!

Amazing work Chase, I encourage everyone to help the people here at DNotesEDU make the first ever Cryptocurrency Education Week a widespread success. Cryptocurrency Education Week is a currency neutral event that seeks to educate new users in a productive (never self serving) manner.

#CryptoCurrencyWeek @DNotesEDU starts today!





I have started a thread in the "Beginners and Help" forum - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3281937.new#new. If anyone has a spare moment throughout the week, it would be very much appreciated it you could leave a comment and help keep the thread current. Helpful content gets drowned out very quickly on Bitcointalk. lol

Good luck to all contest participants!!

Hey Chase, great stuff!

I've commented. It's a great way to reach out to people who are not actively involved in crypto. It will be up to all of us to spread the message out on social media so that those outside of crypto will see it.
