DNotes 2.0 - Staking, CRISP Interest, DNotes Pay

[TeeGee]

DNotes,

Would it be too much to ask for a weekly update on where the exchanges are on their decisions? With the Millions of DNotes purchased and in the Vault wouldn't be a good customer service decision to let us know who is being worked on as possible exchanges for the future so those of us that don't have multiple exchange accounts can start accounts to possibly use. Every exchange have delays in starting accounts with them and could be detrimental to us getting good prices to purchase more DNotes when available. We are the early DNotes family and should get first crack of knowledge of where to purchase.
With that being said also getting accounts setup on those prospective exchanges ahead of time. I would hate to lose out on the early opportunities to purchase more DNotes because I didn't have an account on the exchange ahead of time because of the secrets being kept. It is just my opinion. Also if we know who you are trying to get DNotes on we can put our efforts on pushing them to get DNotes on their exchanges. I understand about being patient for a product to be complete but now that it is finished giving us a list of possible exchanges shouldn't be such a secret. Please take this into consideration before answering my request.

Thank You

Thanks Chezzz, we will update the forum as we are able to. As we said earlier we have gotten in touch with all 30 of the top exchanges about listing DNotes. It would likely be seen as improper if we jumped the gun and said which exchanges that we're likely to be on when they still haven't made any agreement. We will update when we are able to however.

Thanks, keeping us updated is paramount in order for us to have continued excitement on our purchase. Contacting the top 30 exchanges and being respected highly within the crypto-world (as mentioned in many posts throughout this forum) it shouldn't be long before you are contacted with great news. Thanks again for all of your hard work and commitment on making DNotes the first registered cryptocurrency in the world. That's HUGE!!!!!!! If i'm wrong please correct me on that. I'm just real excited knowing that you are getting close!!

That is correct, Cryptopia we can confirm for May 12th. It will take some time, but we are working diligently to get listed on more exchanges.

Op-Ed: It’s Vital to Understand that Cryptocurrency is a Real Industry

https://dcebrief.com/op-ed-its-vital-to-understand-that-cryptocurrency-is-a-real-industry/

Thank you wiser for contributing a great article. Unfortunately, most of us ended up learning the hard way at some point in our life time. Helping to educate investors in our industry is a good thing. We believe that DNotes is doing the right thing by having a strong emphasis on education.
Great job and thank you.

“This is a real industry, and if you want to get involved either as an investor or an employee or contractor, you need to treat it like a real industry…………
You will need to know these things whether your goal is to land a job within the industry or to buy holdings in one or more companies within the industry. You wouldn’t walk into an interview or buy a hundred thousand shares without such knowledge.”

Telegram Promotion!!!

The DNotes team have decided to allocate 100,000 DNotes to promoting the Telegram group. For every 50 new members that enter the telegram group we will hold a lottery for 500 DNotes, until the group is at 10k members. This will be a total of 200 lotteries. It's a great way to both promote the group and to get DNotes into the hands of new people!

Thank you, Tim. We are off to a great start. This is where everyone can join in, help out, and have some fun.

We have accomplished a lot over the last four years but must continue to increase our social media presence. We need your help to spread the message.

Remember that one of the exchanges' requirements is social media presence. Here is where we can not go at it alone. We can certainly use a lot of help here.

Nice I really like how the team is supporting the community, so we all have mutual benefits.

Do you have any date or timeframe set when the first round of financing under Reg A+ Tier II mini-IPO will begin? If you can already share it with us of course 

[Dyna]

What you may be missing out at DNotes - Telegram Community:

Quote From Alan Yong Today:

"Thanks, wiser. At least there is something to start with.

I like to propose another award for the top 6 contributors to the success DNotes – Telegram campaign when we hit the 10,000-membership mark.

 To promote team collaborative efforts an equal amount of 20,000 DNotes for the top three and 10,000 DNotes for the next three. Credit should be given to those few who go out of their way to support this campaign, assist to cultivate a helpful and respectful environment, understand and promote the DNotes vision, and protect our brand. 

I will approve this when the community figured out the logistics. Thanks. Great job so far."

Me too, Amadeus82. It is working out to be much better than I anticipated. We need all the help we can get to increase our social media presence. That will help our funding efforts and get DNotes listed on the exchange.

We are working on two rounds of funding. The first round utilizes Reg. D 506 (c) to raise up to $5 million from accredited investors. Depending on the actual amount raised, the funds will be used to support continued software development, Reg. A+ Mini-IPO, listing fees for DNotes on more exchanges, PR and marketing, and general administration and operations.

Our Chicago law firm has completed the first draft of the offering memorandum. A second firm in Denver is now working to convert it to a presentation grade PPM (Private Placement Memorandum). Meanwhile they are also testing the interest level of their Dealer Broker network. We are planning to officially start the acceptance of funds around May 15, and will file the offering statements with the SEC no later than 15 days before the first sale. Meanwhile, a compliance web site is also being developed. All these take a lot of time and money. It is extremely demanding, but as always I will give it all I got to ensure that DNotes will be immensely successful to the benefits of everyone.

Reg. A+ Mini-IPO is our second round funding that is pre-positioned for our law firm to start work once we reached or get close to the $2 million mile stone. This is extremely expensive and time consuming. I am now projecting a launch date with the SEC "Qualification" at the later part of this year. We will continue to provide updates as needed.

[wiser]

Thank you. I'd been thinking about it for a while so it came together really quickly for me. I agree. I definitely resonate with DNotes' focus on education. I think it would be awesome to develop some modularized real world classes that could be offered anywhere from library workshops to college and high school courses, or even "summer camps."

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).

Q: How do I swap my coins? (after April 16th)

A: Please fill out the following form: https://goo.gl/forms/EaoGpuXcz04C0KrS2

We will be performing post April 16th swap investigations beginning May 16th. Please do not send your DNotes anywhere after April 16th unless it is your own desktop wallet.

If you do happen to have pending withdrawals from the exchange to your DNotesVault HISTORIC accounts, please email us once the funds have been released. contact@dnotescoin.com


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 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 relisting DNotes 2.0 on May 12, 2018.

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!
We currently have Mac and Linux Mint Desktop wallets at DNotesCoin.com.

Q: Where is the block explorer?

A: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/

Q: I am trying to swap my coins from Cryptopia and I am getting Invalid Address

A: That address which begins with an "S" is your new DNotes 2.0 address and your coins on Cryptopia currently are DNotes 1.x. If you like to participate in the coin swap, you can click on the "HISTORIC" tab in your DNotesVault account, create an address, and deposit to that address which begins with a "D". We will take care of the rest, and swap your DNotes for you within a few days.

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



Staking

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 get the most out of my staking efforts?

A: There is no trick to staking efficiently. The factors involved are your coin weight versus the network coin weight and coin weight is the number of coins currently staking. The age does not matter, nor does how you divide or move your coins around.

Q: How much can I earn staking?

A: That depends on how many coins you are staking and how many coins are being staked on the network. The blockchain distributes Current Total Coins / 525,600 * 0.02 every block, or every 60 seconds. You may calculate how often you are chosen to receive the block reward by dividing your network weight verse your weight. If network weight is 100, and your weight is 5, then you would be chosen for block reward 5 blocks out of every 100.



CRISP

Q: Can I get CRISP reward AND stake at the same time?

A: Yes, the system is designed to allow you to receive CRISP on a wallet you are staking

Q: What is the CRISP reward structure?

A: CRISP periods are every 43,200 blocks (30 days). Payments start 10,080 blocks (1 week) from the end of the CRISP period.

Q: What do I need to do to earn CRISP?

A: Keep your coins in the same address for the full CRISP period 30 days, set every 43,200 blocks.

Q: When will I receive CRISP payments?

A: The next payouts are as follows:

April 27 - Ends first CRISP period.
May 4 - Payout starts. (Virtually no one will receive this payout)
May 27 - Ends second CRISP period
June 3 - Payout starts

Roughly.

Q: Do I get CRISP payments at the DNotesVault?

A: Yes! You get CRISP inside the DNotesVault, or at any address you control, such as a Desktop wallet. Though I won't suspect you will be able to get CRISP rewards from the exchanges or other online providers.

Q: Where do the CRISP coins come from?

A: The blockchain, these are newly created coins and have now become part of the new coin distribution, just like the staking reward.

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.

Me too, Amadeus82. It is working out to be much better than I anticipated. We need all the help we can get to increase our social media presence. That will help our funding efforts and get DNotes listed on the exchange.

We are working on two rounds of funding. The first round utilizes Reg. D 506 (c) to raise up to $5 million from accredited investors. Depending on the actual amount raised, the funds will be used to support continued software development, Reg. A+ Mini-IPO, listing fees for DNotes on more exchanges, PR and marketing, and general administration and operations.

Our Chicago law firm has completed the first draft of the offering memorandum. A second firm in Denver is now working to convert it to a presentation grade PPM (Private Placement Memorandum). Meanwhile they are also testing the interest level of their Dealer Broker network. We are planning to officially start the acceptance of funds around May 15, and will file the offering statements with the SEC no later than 15 days before the first sale. Meanwhile, a compliance web site is also being developed. All these take a lot of time and money. It is extremely demanding, but as always I will give it all I got to ensure that DNotes will be immensely successful to the benefits of everyone.

Reg. A+ Mini-IPO is our second round funding that is pre-positioned for our law firm to start work once we reached or get close to the $2 million mile stone. This is extremely expensive and time consuming. I am now projecting a launch date with the SEC "Qualification" at the later part of this year. We will continue to provide updates as needed.

Dyna this is nice to hear, so if everything goes according to plan Reg. A+ Mini-IPO will start at about the same time as listing DNotes 2.0 on Cryptopia. I'm really looking forward to all this, looks like we will have an interesting month ahead of us

Amadeus82, the first round of funding using Reg. D 506 (c) will begin at about the same time as listing DNotes 2.0 on Cryptopia. Reg. A+ Mini-IPO can only be launched later this year, once "qualified" by the SEC. Together with everything else, this will be a very exciting year for DNotes.

What are the issues with Polo that you speak about? I haven't actively traded there in sometime, so curious.

I don't think the Russian authorities have a very good grasp on what to look for in a legitimate ICO or how to identify the bad actors. Their advice really isn't any different than that given by self-serving promoters of shady projects. I agree that team member credibility is extremely important. It's too bad the definition of credibility has become so distorted in this industry.

"A startup conducting a coin offering will be judged by several criteria, including the credibility of its team members, Izvestia reported. RACIB will verify if the company has a website with information about previous projects. The association will check for a white paper and a roadmap for the ICO. Startups will be expected to announce a minimum rate of return of the investments."
