DNotes 2.0 - Staking, CRISP Interest, DNotes Pay

So at the end there is no chance to list us on Cryptopia? Never?
I think Bittrex is most important to list

At this current stage I doubt Bittrex will be easy to list unless a huge fund is available just for this purpose. Cryptopia is possible because it is not that expensive listing there.

As always, thank you, wiser, for your support. We will continue to pursue every exchange possible including these two established exchanges:

https://mercatox.com
https://www.coinexchange.io

They are worth checking into. We are proposing a listing/promotion arrangement with them.

I like Mercatox a lot, have used them for quite a few LTC and Nano transactions. I can't say the same for BitGrail, which I dabbled at for Nano as well (somehow, I ended up free from the hack/scam the place is in the news for now)

Anyhow, I really like the UI of the Mercatox site as well.

My experience with XRB there is a nice precursor for NOTE as well. If you look at Nano now, it trades  nicely <nicelyhttps://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nano/#markets> on some of the big platforms like Binance and OKEx.

There was a time when Mercatox was its only market, and it was a perfect match. Sadly, I can't say the same for BitGrail.

Which is why I appreciate the zeal to drum up other exchanges, but the DD to help ensure future loyal DNoters don't have to deal with sh*heads like the BitGrail guy (he's a hoot on Twitter though).

Thank, you for the feedback, MiningHabbit. I like them too. We are in active discussion with them. Hopefully, we can reach a deal with them soon.

Unfortunately, never again with Cryptopia is correct.

Bittrex is still on our active list and they have yet to name a price.

I have a problem with the way Cryptopia calculates volume, not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it is very evident on currencies with a large spread.

Cryptopia (along with many other exchanges) calculates volume based on most recent price, so let's say for example one of the security tokens they list has gone up 1000% in a day, even if the majority of trading took place on lower price ranges, their volume will be calculated as if all trades took place at the most recent price. For an extreme example of what kind of volume can be generated with a huge spread:

TRADE 1 - You sell 1 million X token for a price of 1 satoshi per token (current volume = 0.01000000 BTC)
TRADE 2 - You buy 0.00000001 X token for a price of 1 BTC per token (current volume = 1,000,000 BTC)

This is a significant development. I just want our community to be familiar with it.


OTC Markets Welcomes Expansion of Reg A+ Exemption to Reporting Companies

May 30, 2018 @ 8:53 am By JD Alois

Buried within the “Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act” that was signed into law last week, was an expansion of Regulation A or Reg + that it is popularly called. The securities exemption is now available to not just private companies but also for “reporting” companies that trade on an exchange or ATS. Reg A+, one of the three crowdfunding exemptions created by the JOBS Act of 2012, enables issuers to raise up to $50 million in a mini-IPO type structure. Both accredited and non-accredited investors may participate in a Reg A+ offer. OTC Markets, perhaps the biggest proponent to expand Reg A+ to companies that are publicly traded, has applauded the expansion of the law – calling it a “pivotal milestone for smaller companies and issuers.” OTC Markets may see listed companies that trade on its marketplace now take advantage of the law.

“We are pleased to see the culmination of our advocacy to extend the benefits of Regulation A+ eligibility to SEC reporting companies,” said Cromwell Coulson, CEO and President of OTC Markets Group. “This key change will be instrumental in leveraging technology to fuel small company capital formation and increase the number of public companies that can efficiently access our capital markets.”

The update to Reg A+, that was originally a stand alone bill “Improving Access to Capital Act,” was a bipartisan initiative that was sponsored by Representative Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). The legislation originally passed the House of Representatives in September 2017 in a lopsided vote of 404 to 3.

Reg A+ has experienced mixed results since its creation as platforms and issuers have experimented as to how best utilize the law. By broadening the pool of potential issuers, Reg A+ may gain additional footing as a path to raise additional funds for smaller companies.

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:
Deferred Staking

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

A: Please fill out the following form: https://goo.gl/forms/LdCjgAP7gaio1lVk2

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.

Please note DNotes v1.x mined or purchased after April 16, 2018 will not be eligible for the swap.

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 (email us at contact@dnotescoin.com), 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: Will DNotes 2.0 be listed on new exchanges?

We are currently listed on:
https://www.nlexch.com/markets/notebtc
https://bitebtc.com/trade/note_btc

We are actively working with and in active communication:
https://www.coinexchange.io
https://mercatox.com
These two exchanges are established and currently trading. We are hoping to reach an agreement soon so that DNotes can be listed shortly.

Beta or Future Exchanges we are working with:
https://www.cryptaldash.com/
https://www.listex.io/
https://blockbid.io/
https://shardax.com/

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 Mac or Specific Linux OS, will there be wallets for these?  

A: Yes!
We currently have Windows / Mac / Linux Mint / Ubuntu Desktop wallets at DNotesCoin.com. If you need something else, please let us know.

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:

May 1 - Ends first CRISP period.
May 8 - Payout starts. (Virtually no one will receive this payout)
June 2 - Ends second CRISP period
June 10 - 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.

DNotes Global has plans to build a long-term competitive advantage by offering services that utilize DNotes. That strategy will also help to facilitate awareness and adoption of the DNotes currency.
Long term competitive advantage DNotes Global will provide in offering services that utilize DNotes.

What’s Next?
Fully compliant Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding followed by a Reg A+ Mini-IPO.

The DNotes market report for Wednesday, May 30, 2018

Since CoinMarketcap does not recognize any active DNotes markets, and our only market right now is NLexch (not recognized by CMC), I am reporting what's going on with that market once a day so that we can all be apprised of the current market price for DNotes.

I'm also participating as a buyer trying to accumulate more DNotes with minimal impact on the market. My strategy is to place limit buy orders and only buy the sell side when I see an order that is significantly lower than the next ask price until the gap between bid and ask closes.

Today the low price was 220 Satoshi and the high price was 347 Satoshi with the last price being 231 Satoshi, or 0.017015 USD.

The 24 hour volume is 16090.97 NOTE. The current highest bid is 232 and lowest ask is 299.

Dear DNotes team, do you maybe have any update on status of Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding? How far are you with preparation and did the funding already begin or do you have any estimated date when will it begin?

I think this will be very important step for DNotes...

Polish Crypto Exchange BitBay Moving to Malta

Better that they just go out of business. They stole the BitBay name from the BitBay coin that was founded in 2014 causing much confusion for David Zimbeck and crew who are running a solid, honest project. If you can't even be original with your project's name, what else are you going to steal?

Dear DNotes team, do you maybe have any update on status of Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding? How far are you with preparation and did the funding already begin or do you have any estimated date when will it begin?

I think this will be very important step for DNotes...

Thank you for asking, Amadeus82.

We are at the final stages of legal documentation and preparation of our Reg. D 506 (c) PPM (Private Placement Memorandum). Ziliak Law, LLC in Chicago, IL completed the final draft copy yesterday and it has just been transferred to Reg D Resources in Denver, CO. It is now in the process of being converted to a presentation grade PPM. Meanwhile, a compliance web portal is being developed to accommodate this specific project. Conservatively, we should be ready to file with the SEC towards the end of June.

We are spending more time and money on this project than normal. This is because we want to have a good start in transition to our main funding round using Reg. A+ Mini-IPO to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide. It will be heavily promoted. That is the time we want to put DNotes Global on the world map, so to speak.

Please understand that our first round, Reg. D 506 (c) is an exempt offering only available to verified accredited investors. There is an approval process incorporated into our web portal to limit access to only accredited investors.

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.

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:

May 1 - Ends first CRISP period.
May 8 - Payout starts. (Virtually no one will receive this payout)
June 2 - Ends second CRISP period
June 10 - 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.
