DNotes 2.0 - Staking, CRISP Interest, DNotes Pay

[Amadeus82]

I have noticed slight drop in price on Mercatox, for about 50 satoshi. But the price still holds

Looking forward to completion od first funding round, I think it should also very positively reflect on the price of DNotes

It seems that also crypto in general stopped bleeding, at least for now.

It has been good for DNotes appreciating in a market of general decline. 50 satoshi is mostly in line with the larger demand / supply resistance levels. We expect volume to increase quite a bit as money begins to come on board, not just from our advertising efforts, but the knowledge of DNotes existence to many high net-worth individuals.

Since we have been gaining new supporters every day this may be a helpful introduction of my position and why I am relentlessly committed to making DNotes and DNotes Global an immense success.

I am a very passionate mentor of entrepreneurs and small business owners and author of “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success”. As much as the book is written to assist others to improve their chances of succeeding in business, it is also written as the blueprint for managing DNotes as a pure decentralized entity that is not controlled by any individual, group, or company. It belongs to all the stakeholders and ownership is at will. Anyone can own and dis-own any amount of DNotes without any obligation.

The book is a required reading for anyone hired to work for DNotes Global, Inc. We will hire only the best fitting candidates who understand and believe in our vision of building a great company with exceptional employees committed to the best in class mindset in everything that matters. We are committed to a unified single corporate culture, working as a team to accomplish common goals.

Here is my favorite quote from the book. “Where you are right matters far less than where you are going from here.” I am mindful that a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet and unable to save any meaning amount for retirement or emergency. Let’s work together to see how we can help change the world a little for the better.

I am constantly being approached by others to invest in their projects.  At this time, my personal investment of time and money is almost exclusively on DNotes and DNotes Global, Inc. After having been in business for over forty years, I see this as the most challenging project of all. The potential is immense and likely to have significant positive world changing implications.

We have been spending the last 4 ½ years building a solid foundation with a clearly articulated vision of DNotes’ path to mass adoption as an inclusive trusted digital currency in global commerce worldwide. We are positioning DNotes to be a supplement to fiat currency globally. To accomplish that, DNotes Global, Inc. will be providing the management and leadership to a rapidly expanding fully integrated ecosystem.

We are working on two funding rounds. Our first round using Reg. D 506 (c) is aimed at raising up to $5 million from accredited investors and scheduled for launch later this month. Our second round using Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Tier 2 to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide will be in drafting mode shortly. It is also our plan to have a full-blown IPO in three years.

If you like what we are doing and share our vision and philosophy I invite you to follow us and stay in close touch. Our vision is truly global and inclusive, irrespective of your financial standing.

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).

153,574,552 Total DNotes 2.0 Created

The next update (TBD) will include:
Deferred Staking

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

A: The DNotes coin swap process will now be done through a private fork of the legacy DNotes blockchain. We have created this fork to ensure that legacy DNotes holders are still able to swap their legacy DNotes for DNotes 2.0 long after the deadline, in the event they missed the swap. This also ensures we will not be accepting newly purchased or mined DNotes, protecting our users and network.

In order to swap your coins, you will need the following DNotes v1.3 wallet, which you can download here:
http://dnotescoin.com/DNotes/dnotes-qt1-3.zip
You will need to copy your wallet.dat or wallet backup file to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DNotes1-3 directory, open the wallet application and allow it to update.
Next, you will need an address to send your legacy DNotes in to for the coin swap, you can generate a legacy address with the following instructions:
Create a DNotesVault.com account if you don’t already have one.
Login to your DNotesVault.com account, and click the HISTORIC tab at the top.
Click Create Address, and send your DNotes to the address you just created.

Coin swaps will be processed once a month until further notice.

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://mercatox.com/exchange/NOTE/BTC
https://stocks.exchange/trade/NOTE/BTC
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
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.

We do run our own server. All of the wallets and private keys are stored locally, transactions are signed locally and sent to the server to broadcast to the network.

We have also integrated the invoicing and payment system functionality into the wallet. Having an easy to access and use lite wallet with the integrated invoicing will be the next step towards demonstrating how the invoicing and payment system can be easily integrated into existing systems to not only accept payments without requiring a third party but how it can improve functionality, accounting, and flexibility.

Quotes from DNotes Telegram today:

Stone, [16.06.18 11:35]
What's our fate with Dnote if SEC thinks all Crypto except BTC and Ether are security? How is that gonna affect our growth and investment?

Any basis for argument? Any defence? 🤔🤔🤬

Eplemost, [16.06.18 14:02]
[In reply to Stone]

This won’t happen. Basically, the whole market is erc20 tokens and Asia loves Ethereum. US would be left way behind if they follow that route.

Quote from Alan Yong:

There have been a lot of inaccurate and confusing published opinion regarding whether a coin listed on an exchange is a “token” or a “security”. From a legal prospective, a coin becomes a security token when it is utilized as a funding vehicle most commonly used in ICOs. In the process of using a token to raise capital, a change of state occurred – the status of a token becomes a security. There are no known exceptions.

Here is a prime example of a token: Bitcoin, while being labeled as a “token”, “commodity”, “property”, and more, has never been labeled as a “security”. This is because Bitcoin has never been used as an investment funding vehicle to raise capital. DNotes holds the same status as a token and not a security. DNotes has never been used or will ever be used as an investment funding vehicle to raise capital.

It is vitally important for our community to clearly understand that DNotes and DNotes Global, Inc. are two distinctly different entities. DNotes is an autonomous decentralized entity not controlled by any individual or company. The decentralized aspects of DNotes should not ever be tampered with.

DNotes’ blockchain is a public blockchain that is accessible to anyone, anywhere with an Internet connection, without the need for any permission, or the approval of any central authority. This is the ingenious aspect of the technology that got me “addicted”. It is loaded with significant positive world changing implications if used properly. We are relentlessly committed to take it all the way while respecting the rule of law.

We have gone out of our way, at extreme cost and efforts, to ensure that we do not ever sell DNotes to raise capital. We will, instead, be selling DNotes Global, Inc. common stock shares in our funding using regulated crowdfunding programs (Reg. D and Reg. A+) that are registered or exempt with the SEC.

Despite my busy schedule, I thought that it is important for me to clarify one more time that DNotes is a digital currency token. It is not a security.

[BTCWise]

Can someone please tell me if CryptalDash is still planning on listing DNotes this month? I know things weren't finalized but the 19th is just around the corner. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

As you know, CryptalDash made an announcement to list DNotes after the beta phase and after reaching an agreement with us. CryptalDash has requested a revision to our original agreement and we have raised an objection to that revision as we cannot obligate our supporters to participate in the ICO. So far we have not gotten a response.

The new DNotes Electrum wallet is huge news! Although the Electrum wallet doesn't stake itself, if you keep the same private key in both the Electrum wallet and your online desktop wallet, your DNotes will continue to stake. I still personally wouldn't recommend importing private keys that contains a large balance to any mobile wallet at this point in time.
