CRISP WORD CONTEST

Feel free to have some fun with the long list of CRISP words that will be a part of DNotes Dictionary in the future.  Does anyone have an award winning definition for "Laddered CRISP", "CRISP optimization", "CRISP sense", and so on...

Here's my non-competitive, just for fun entry:

CRISP Fund Baby

Definition - Modern day replacement of the "trust fund baby".  A child born to, or receiving a gift from, someone with a large amount of DNotes.  The parent or gift giver set up a CRISP for the child when they were born or very young and the child is now able to live off the appreciated value of the CRISP.  While the term "trust fund baby" carries negative connotations of never having to work, the grown up "CRISP fund baby" tends to be hard working and appreciative of what their parents did for them.

 

Very creative Chase. I don't know how you come up with these ideas, but they are great!  

Impressed. Perhaps Marc, our author of CRISP Handbook, may want to consider adding a new section to the Handbook.

Very interesting. So we can have CRISP for Kids which can be withdrawn at any time and then we can have CRISP Trusts which can only be accessed once they turn 18? Nice, I do like the idea very much. So name suggestions everyone? What shall we call it? I will DEFINITELY incorporate into CRISP Handbook.

Edit: I am truly impressed by the overload of great ideas!

"Managers that do know of it are reluctant to incorporate in portfolios either because their investors don't understand or trust it or, the old standby, it's too volatile."

Also . . . certainly (we canvassed 25 Australian financial institutions in our survey on this) the regulatory environment is hostile, which hostility extends to their being no regulation!

Very true Mark. People who live their lives in a regulatory bubble are not going to play with sharp objects... We do need clear guidance from lawmakers not patchwork regulation where straddling the state line makes you legal and illegal at the same time.

Don't expect clear guidance.

IndiaMikeZulu spent literally months on the phone in 2013, talking to accountants’ organisations, accountants, AML authorities, banks, credit unions, regulatory bodies, license issuers, the Australian Tax Office, and fellow crypto geeks. It was like attacking the ocean with a bread-and-butter knife.

Here are two insights:

One: ‘national chapters’: although cryptos are a global phenomenon, the regulations generally go nation by nation. So, krypto hoomernz in one nation (even from different cryptos!) can co-operate to gather data on the regulatory situation in that nation (including, I suggest, the postage of bullion).

Two: choose one business in a nation, and mentor it. That is, instead of dumpin’ the whole crypto thing in the lap of the business’s unsuspecting accountant, guide the business/accountant through the initial processes, ensuring them that assistance – perhaps even financial – will be forthcoming.

This business becomes the showcase. Mutual benefit all around.

Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia

[Just to show you how out of our minds we are, with the resources of one overworked family-guy and one half-blind disability pensioner, we tackled an entire town in early 2014, in an effort to learn how crypto adoption might happen at all levels. Expensive and punishing! but it was one of only two projects like it in the world at the time.]

Thank you for sharing your insights with us, Mark. I like the way you described your challenges, (battles) “It was like attacking the ocean with a bread-and-butter knife”. I believe, I do know what you meant, but I respect you that much more for actually gone down that route. We can appreciate how hard you all have worked to get to this point. Very impressive.

DNotes has spent a great deal of time studying many battles our industry has been fighting at a very high cost, in terms of money, time and human emotion. That explains in part why we are positioned so differently. Like your group we pick our battle and stay focused in winning one battle at a time. We maintain a low profile and launched our project in small scale, always taking our time to fine tune them. They are all designed to be highly scalable, strategically linked and positioned to exploit the network effect at the appropriate time.

In your case it makes sense to focus in working with “one business in a nation”. Most nations in general require a single application for a single license. The United States require a license for every state except two. It is demanding to say the least.

Thanks for participating in our forum and working closely with TeeGee. Let us know if we can be helpful in some ways. There are many challenges ahead. We have specifically positioned CryptoMoms to be a currency neutral site so that it could be mutually beneficial to everyone in our industry.

We will have to wait 10 or 15 years for the first of the "CRISP Fund Babies" to be in such a fortunate position (and old enough to enjoy it), so we have lots of time to figure out what to do with them! lol

Excellent PR Dyna. This the kind of information people will lock onto and and take action.

Agreed, this is my favorite press release to date. Brilliant writing, and the timing couldn't have been better, right after a huge story broke on sequencing fraud.

As Credit Card Fraud Reaches New Highs Bitcoin Alternative DNotes Brings Banking Solutions, Stability, And Value

Bitcoin Press Release: As credit card fraud cases reach new highs, the legacy banking system may soon be challenged by Bitcoin Alternative DNotes with an impressive track record of stability and good store of value; two of the most commonly cited reasons that Bitcoin is not a viable threat.

There is an inherent tendency for promising emerging technologies to be deceptive at the formative stage, especially when perceived to be highly disruptive. According to DNotes Co-Founder Alan Yong, a well regarded pioneer and visionary during the early days of mobile computers, this has clearly been the case with Bitcoin, despite often being described as the greatest technology innovation since the Internet. The Bitcoin space has received a staggering investment of almost $500 million from Venture Capital funding in 2014 alone, followed by over $100 million during the first two months of 2015.

No matter how promising, emerging technologies are never perfect, providing room for critics to predict their early demise with sensational headlines. The legacy banking system – being an integral part of an outdated and costly credit and debit card payment network system – has been among those critics. Being the most direct targets of disruption, senior bank and credit card companies’ executives often discount Bitcoin as a threat because of its explosive volatility and poor track record as a store of value. Bitcoin as a medium of exchange has not gained meaningful scale to cause much pain either. In such an environment, the immensely promising Bitcoin with the potential to be the greatest technology revolution of our generation can be quite deceptive; causing many to look back a few years from now wondering how they could have missed the early promising signs.

DNotes can best be characterized, as a second generation Bitcoin alternative digital currency. Created over one year ago, it exploited the advantages of knowing the weaknesses and pitfalls that penalized Bitcoin as the pioneer. It objectively studied Bitcoin’s strengths and weaknesses as well as threats and opportunities. DNotes was created on February 18, 2014 with an objective to meet the full functions of fiat currency as a unit of account, store of value and medium of exchange within three years. It decided to take a very different path since day one in building a trustworthy stable digital currency with reliable long term appreciation.

Central to DNotes long term strategic plan is the creation of highly scalable building blocks, as the foundation of its own ecosystem. Those strategic building blocks include CryptoMoms; a currency neutral site dedicated to encourage women participation, DNotesVault; a free secure storage for DNotes’ stakeholders with 100% deposit guarantee with verifiable funds, and CRISPs; a family of Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plans for everyone worldwide. The core mission of CRISP is to make the savings opportunity available to everyone; from the unborn to the most senior; from the unbanked to the super rich. The opportunity for anyone to participate irrespective of financial standing, coupled with combined charity efforts will bring about much needed financial freedom for millions worldwide.


Yong explained that,

“winning strategies are most effective when executed flawlessly in the right sequence and at the most opportune time. Until there is a stable digital currency everyone can understand, trust and feel comfortable about, attempts to promote it as a medium of exchange will cost more harm than good. In the case of DNotes, the medium of exchange function will not kick until its third year; at which time many small business owners and their employees are anticipated to be DNotes stakeholders and participants in one of its cryptocurrency savings plans.”

DNotes’ ecosystem is strategically linked and systematically executed towards the ultimate goal of mass consumer and mass merchant adoption of DNotes as a medium of exchange in global commerce. As a digital currency it is equal to and better than fiat currency and as a technology it holds enormous power to cause a quantum shift with world changing implications.

DNotes is a cryptographically created digital currency based on a novel decentralized peer to peer model, where trust is replaced by mathematical algorithms, eliminating the need of an intermediary such as a bank or an automatic clearing house. Assets of value such as Bitcoin, DNotes, and other digital assets can be sent and received in minutes anytime, anywhere, worldwide without the oversight of any central authority. It takes as little as two simple cell phones, or computers with an internet connection to send and receive funds. It does not require, transmit, or store any personal information and the two parties do not need to know or trust each other to successfully complete the transaction at little to no cost.

On the other hand, the legacy banking system, credit and debit card payment network systems are based on an absolute dependency on personal identity with multiple exposures that can be and have been compromised. With multiple intermediaries requiring proof of identity for the release of funds, loans and credit approval based of the “holder” of the required personal information, this has been proven repeatedly to involve high risk exposures.

The legacy credit and debit card payment network systems are costly. In addition digital currency nonreversible transactions offer a significant advantage in protecting businesses and online merchants from credit card fraud chargeback that plague many smaller online businesses dealing in credit card payments.

Good going guys, just seen the translation message bounty for the Hard Fork, which is now long gone. 

Just want to say well done. Will test the latest Mac Client as I've been using the Vault instead.

Keep up the good work! Will try to check my messages more often!

There is an interesting article out today on bitcoin merchant adoption.


"Is Bitcoin's Merchant Appeal Fading?"

"Steve Beauregard, CEO of cryptocurrency payments gateway GoCoin, had a different take, suggesting that many merchants haven't yet had a positive enough experience with bitcoin for a substantial uptick in adoption to take place.

"I believe merchants have been widely disappointed by the number of transactions they see in bitcoin," Beauregard said.

He went on to state that "consumer adoption is the problem", speaking out against the 'if you build it they will come' mentality of the bitcoin ecosystem in past years."

http://www.coindesk.com/is-bitcoins-merchant-appeal-fading/

************

I agree with this comment:"consumer adoption is the problem", speaking out against the 'if you build it they will come' mentality of the bitcoin ecosystem in past years."  I believe it could end up being the other way around - If the consumer is holding (as in DNotes / CRISP), the merchants will follow.

I read that and I think they missed the point to some extent. It's not the huge corporate merchants that will drive crypto adoption, it's the small businesses that will bring the public into the scene. This is a grass roots movement at it's heart and small business taking $$ away from big business will bring the big guys over eventually. Your statement about holding is correct. Once they find out who holds the money, they will do whatever it takes to get us to part with some it.

Great points RJF, I agree wholeheartedly. Large corporations will make big headlines, but the drivers will be the consumers and small business.

Yep. We all need to remember, the down and dirty bottom line after all the fluff is this, in it's most simple form, if it costs XYZ Corp the same or less to accept BTC as other forms of payment, they will continue to except it unless other, more political issues enter into the equation. At some point on the acceptance ladder, they will accept it no matter what it costs them as long as they are making a profit and sales are stable or growing.

Remember the brand new Internet? Who brought it to the public? The little guy did and I can personally attest to that. Big telecom wanted nothing to do with it until they saw us little guys making money from it than all hell broke loose. Same with crypto, nothing new here in that regard, the big boys follow the money. Hell, the government offered to give the early Internet to AT&T and AT&T turned them down! It's all happening again, same story, different players. Not too hard to predict the outcome. Only difference is now, the little guy is smarter and wiser and won't let fortune slip away a second time...

I read that article too but did not get the time to write a post. So far Bitcoin has limited success. However, I must add that Bitcoin, Coinbase and others have done an excellent job in developing awareness and got enough transactions going for others like us to be able to examine real data objectively. My personal conclusion at this point is that given the right environment and conditions, digital currency is a far superior form of payment when compared to credit and debit cards. For local payment it is as good as cash. For cross border transfer it is certainly better than fiat currency.

RJF is certainly correct that the most effective ways to cultivate adoption of DNotes by both consumers and merchants as a medium of exchange is through a grass root movement, starting with small business owners and their employees. Our strategic plan calls for a very complete package that can benefit them in many ways. It is more than signing merchants up to accept DNotes.

Our initial market target is small business owners and their employees from startups to $50 million in revenue, in the United States. This will take a few years to totally kick in but we do expect that DNotes will begin to be used as a medium of exchange starting sometime in 2016.

Few will argue that as a group small business is the engine of job creation. Unfortunately, they have also been adversely affected by mounting regulations, poor economic growth, rapidly increasing health care cost and a constant struggle to fund their own retirement as well as being able to take care of their employees adequately to keep them motivated. Their employees often share their misfortune and pain, directly or indirectly.

This will be a multi-year program with enormous potential to provide multiple solutions to assist small business owners and their employees. Although anyone can participate in CRISP for retirement, it is designed with small business owners as our primary target. We firmly believe that it will help supplement many small business owners underfunded retirement plans. CRISP for Employee Incentive Benefits is specifically designed to reward and motivate employees and promote an awareness that it is mutually beneficial for employees and employers to work in partnership to towards a common goal of an enriched environment that will benefit all participating parties. We believe that this will be a life changing project involving many professionals from different disciplines. A book project is involved to assist small business owners to drastically improve their odds of being successful and profitable, rather than being consumed in a life time of struggle.

Edit: Quote from RJF: Hell, the government offered to give the early Internet to AT&T and AT&T turned them down! It's all happening again, same story, different players. Not too hard to predict the outcome. Only difference is now, the little guy is smarter and wiser and won't let fortune slip away a second time...

Again you are correct. I have been a small business owner all my life. I take this as the biggest challenge of my life to make it happen. This time let us get as many business owners and their employees as possible to benefit from it, before the "big boys" have the chance to take it away.

Have you read about IBM, federal reserve, our central bank and a few big banks are working on a "token" as a currency to exploit the Block chain technology? Here we go again.

*********

BoscoBlue / RJF / DNotes (Joint Entry):     
Boscoe Blue - Organizations may benefit from using CRISP, where the organizer can customize and contribute to their own CRISP program. For example, employee matching programs.   
RJF - Perhaps, in the future, we could have a "CRISP Generator" where you just plug in the required amounts, fund name and purpose, pick from a list what you want to calculate, etc and submit it for review and possible posting if acceptable. Of course there would be rules and guidelines and the creation process would rely on drop down choices to keep things in line and formatted as DNotes wishes. People could apply for a CRISP Hosting account at the time.
DNotes - Agreed, that sounds like a good idea. An organization would apply for registration. Get their own landing page like ABCOrganization.DNotesVault.com, registrations through that landing page would be tied to that organizations account. As well as an organizational administration panel where they could approve registrations and add 'rules' for accounts tied to that organization, like fund matching or initial sign up bonus. What type of organizations might be interested in something like this?                                     
RJF - I would think the list is long and distinguished. Schools, volunteer Fire/Rescue/OEM, public service such as Rotary, Masons, Optimists, Scout Troops, Charities, etc.  Anybody that wants to offer an incentive for joining, serving or remaining a member.

RJF:  CRISP for Families! Either a CRISP for Families, or a pre-configured generator to create simple family CRISP Plans where Mom or Dad can "plug in" their configuration and comfort level, include their children, and end up with their own, family oriented, savings plan/account all rolled up in one CRISP customized for them.   

With growing distrust in banks and other financial entities and managers, people are starting to take their investments into their own hands, what better way to do this than a DNotes savings plan that you customize for your own needs and expectations? I can foresee a lot of activity with this and that is the main reason a self management system should be developed to take off DNotes developers. And, as always, the chance for much greater than traditional returns is always there.

I think this would be a template for all future CRISP plans if developed with flexibility in mind. Later on we can role crypto currency conversion into the system to allow for the deposit of other coins and their automatic conversion into DNotes being instantly added to your vault.

And keep in mind, unlike groups and businesses, families are free to open accounts as they wish without going through "due process" and loosing time and money waiting.


CRISP Board Game

kanus1113:      CRISPopoly (lol)  Similar to monopoly, except the objective is... Once the 'exchange' runs out of DNotes, you win the game if you saved the most.  It's a work in progress lol, but you get the picture.

infovortice2013: CRISPers 4 Dnotes

BoscoBlue:     How about Digital Life. A spin on the game of life that is all digital and allows opportunities to put money into CRISP accounts?

@ Dyna: I shall sit quietly and read for some time. In a word though: the discipline that I see here is unique in my experience of crypto communities.

Mark, I appreciate that observation. There is a lot of truth to that. Without the discipline to hold back from reacting instinctively we would have made a lot of mistakes and created a very different culture, one that is not always productive or one that is as inspiring.

Our guiding principal is to treat everyone with respect and not quickly jump into the wrong conclusions. We make every effort to promote a supportive and respectful culture so that we all can work productively together for the mutual benefits of everyone. Such an environment is significantly more productive and stress free.

In contrast to our industry, that is a different mindset, a different philosophy and a different believe system. However, that defines DNotes as the currency we trust. With a level of trust that we can consistently depend on, many of us will help promote it, protect it, save it and use it as the medium of exchange. Its superiority over fiat currency will eventually makes it the preferred medium for the more fortunate to help those who are less fortunate. But that is not all. DNotes’ fundamental value will be supported with different for profit properties that have a healthy growth rate. Those are some of our highly scalable building blocks. The discipline to do the right things at the right time without taking advantage of some at the expense of others is an integral part of our model for success.
