DNotes 2.0 - Staking, CRISP Interest, DNotes Pay

[DNotesEDU]

Here is an interesting statistic for everyone, and one that highlights the importance of staking. Here is how many coins (as a % of total supply) you would need to 51% attack the following POS coins:

Blackcoin has 23.9% of their total coins staking, therefore you would need 24% of all Blackcoin to successfully perform a 51% attack and become the sole validator of transactions. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/blk/#!extraction

Navcoin has 27.1% of their total coins staking, you would need 27.2% of total outstanding supply to perform a 51% attack. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/nav/#!extraction


Stratis has 35.6% of their total coins staking, you would need 35.7% of the total outstanding supply to perform a 51% attack. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/strat/#!extraction

DNotes has 53.2% of total coin supply staking, therefore it is mathematically impossible for an outside user to accumulate enough coins to perform a 51% attack against DNotes. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/#!extraction I would imagine the % of total coin supply that is staking will skyrocket once DNotes implements cold staking and all DNotes stored on the vault become stakable by deferring rights to a hot wallet.

Wondering what DNotes is all about? Here’s the basics:

What is DNotes?
•   DNotes is a digital currency with a purpose: to serve as a real currency that people can use in their daily lives - unlike other digital currencies that focus on solving niche problems, with no plan to become a real, usable currency.
•   The DNotes goal is simple: achieve mass adoption and become the world’s first accessible, inclusive, and financially empowering digital currency that benefits everyone around the globe.

What are DNotes’ Benefits as a Currency?
•   DNotes is managed as a business – but not controlled as one.
•   DNotes success is driven by a profit-generating company, DNotes Global, created to promote mass adoption, protect the currency, and ensure sustainable growth.
•   DNotes’ unique CRISP savings program rewards DNotes owners with 0.5% interest, every month
•   DNotes offers staking rewards for stakeholders – at 2% a year.
•   DNotes provides blockchain invoicing features to simplify merchant acceptance and adoption of the digital currency.

What Benefits Does DNotes Global Provide?
DNotes Global protects DNotes and its stakeholders, promotes mass adoption, and creates value and utility for the digital currency, including a fully integrated ecosystem.
The company provides a unique cross-ownership model, with DNotes owning 25% of DNotes Global (pre-dilution), while the for-profit business maintains a stake in the digital currency.
DNotes Global generates profit, creating intrinsic value for the DNotes currency to help create a “floor” for the digital currency’s value.
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.

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).

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

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

A: We have set April 16th 2018 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

Beta or Future Exchanges we are working with:
https://blockbid.io/

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/


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: http://dnotescoin.com/#Download

Install the wallet (and we recommend creating a backup, after encrypting your wallet)
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.
   
Video: https://youtu.be/bR66LWPRzAU

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.

Your guess is as good as mine Amadeus! I would assume that it is largely dependent on smooth integration with the Vault, because while the software for delegated proof of stake already exists, it would be safe to say that incorporating it with the vault back end will be a tremendously large job for our software development team.

That is correct, there are many factors surrounding cold staking. Another fork and making sure we include everything we can for that fork, funding timeline, DNotesVault. My best guesstimate is early 2019.

That's a very wise decision to hold off forking until there are a few new features ready to implement, to avoid multiple forks.

Crypto could also be nice workaround for countries harmed with international sanctions, like North Korea. So it is maybe not so unusual if they are looking into blockchain. It will be interesting to see what (if any) will come from it

Welcome kamarul.jutawan, we have upgraded our blockchain to DNotes 2.0 earlier this year which is now proof of stake and there is no more mining. You can trade DNotes 2.0 on Mercatox.com or Stocks.exchange.

Update on Funding:

Our funding campaign has been going well – as good as we have anticipated. It has generated a lot of interest from potential investors, fund raising professionals and venture Capital (VC) groups. As expected, this is a long process that requires great patience and persistence. It has been keeping me very busy; at times impossible to keep up.

I am confident that we will get funded. In the meantime, I will not take anything for granted but instead continue to pursue new possibilities until we are sufficiently funded. The best our supporters can assist our efforts is to keep our community engaged and continue to get our message out.     

Apart from raising the necessary capital this turns out to be a great PR campaign giving me a great opportunity to communicate with many key people in our industry. This opens opportunities for collaborative partnership and potential prospects for NextGen VC.  Overall, it has been very positive including quite a few high-level professionals who would love to work for us given the opportunities. I can feel that DNotes is gaining a lot of respect, though not yet reflected in the price of DNotes.

My messages are very clear to those who could be help to us – get us funded and have DNotes listed on a major exchange. Together, we will continue to pursue that relentlessly.   Thank you for your support.           

[Commivan]

Yes, the price of DNotes is really low, but we need to be a bit more patient, because I think that soon it will rise and the project will become recognizable.

Thank you for your update.

I suggest to aim at a broader cryptocurrency audience, you should open a channel on reddit.com. I do not know when authors are allowed to, but the next step would be to write DNotes news on www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/ with over 700k subscribers. Also the DCEbrief articles could get a mention there.

For Your Reference:

One of a few hundred of emails I received:

Hello Alan,
Nice to meet you.
I have been in blockchain space for over 3 years now and I look for interesting projects and new ideas.
I have read your message with interests and have reviewed your video.
I still have not gotten the uniqueness of your project.
How is DNotes different from other major coins?
You are asking for support.

Help me understand your product better and I will see if I'm able to help.

Regards


Hi (  ),

Thank you very much for checking us out. Nice to meet you too and learn that you have been in this space for over three years. I got involved with DNotes 4 ½ years ago and seldom have less than 12-hour day working on DNotes.

The DNotes difference is more obvious to our active followers but a challenge to those who just check us out in passing. From a technology perspective, we are very similar to all other coins – using the same engine with a twist and a different name plate.

However, DNotes’ vision is distinctly different. We are committed to a very long-term vision of building an inclusive trusted digital currency for everyone worldwide to participate. We are relentlessly committed to mass acceptance of DNotes for global commerce as a supplement to fiat currency starting with the most crypto-friendly nations. And there are many to get us started.

To truly appreciate the DNotes difference it is essential take a close look at what our dedicated and highly capable team has already accomplished. I strongly recommend that you take a closer look at our white paper and check out some of the links: https://dnotesglobal.com/white-paper/

Mass acceptance of digital currency will not be happening anytime soon.  A great deal of missionary work must be done beyond blockchain and smart contracts, which we are actively involved in ourselves. DNotes 2.0, DNotesVault, our CRISP reward program, and DNotes Pay are worthy mention of those efforts.

We also created CryptoMoms to encourage and assist women to participate in our industry; DNotesEDU to deliver educational contents, and DCEBrief to provide worthy unbiased news affecting our industry. Additionally, we have published a business book, “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success” to serve as our guidebook to provide the guiding principles for our team and followers. It is also our pathway to the corporate world. We have produced close to 70 training videos, with transcripts and working on an audio book that can be purchased with DNotes using DNotes Pay, ideal for micro transactions. I hope you get the picture that DNotes is different than the rest of the herd – very different.

Regarding how you could help support DNotes, I would love to see you acquire a small amount of DNotes and test out DNotesVault and make recommendations how we can make things even more user friendly. This gives you a chance to get to know us. It would be great if you could join our forum and share some of your industry experience: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1924858.0

Best regards,

Alan

One of the things that has always been very interesting to me about this industry is the disconnect between the comparative features of cryptocurrencies and wider benefits of any ecosystems that may exist for them, and their price. Even as things stand now, DNotes has a lot to offer that are unique in the industry -- from blockchain-based paid interest from the network itself (CRISP reward) to benefit savers (separate to the staking reward), DNotes pay (possibly the world's first low-cost, super simple, completely disintermediated payment system), automated invoicing software, through to the cross-ownership model with DNotes Global -- a separate company that is tasked with building a business ecosystem that will make DNotes suitable as a currency for mainstream adoption.

Of course, these features like DNotes Pay are going to further evolve beyond pilot phase into full software releases, but as we are all aware this is all pending the raising of our first round of capital that Alan is working tirelessly on. Investors also get the added bonus that our raise will not have been done as an ICO, but a regulated raise through Reg D under the JOBS Act.

Once these software are further developed, the value behind DNotes will further increase, though the potential right now is clear and obvious -- and a majority of the top 20 coins don't have working products at the moment, so for the most part, many of them are not ahead of DNotes in any measurable way, but for having larger communities, some as yet unverified claims in the case of many, and bigger marketing budgets. Cryptocurrency prices at this time are dictated by popularity as opposed to any relation to intrinsic value. It is my belief that the value of cryptocurrencies going forward will be more related to intrinsic and fundamental value -- which DNotes was one of the first coins in cryptocurrency history to openly choose to solve. The model that DNotes have chosen, and were one of, if not the first to announce as a cryptocurrency supported by a profit-generating business ecosystem is the model that will drive cryptocurrency adoption through earnings and intrinsic value.

When our current round of funding round is complete, I wouldn't be surprised to see DNotes begin to announce itself to the world in a much more powerful manner. Until that time, people can make their own value judgements on the project's potential, and purchase accordingly.
