The QR code currently says (in text) "This site will help educate our industry and regulators in a meaningful way"
Quote from DNotes. Of course, it can say anything we want it to or, redirect to somewhere else.
I kind of like the QR code as part of the logo, interesting idea. Fairly easy to manipulate. You could have one on each end, each saying something different or, going to a URL, Contact Record, Phone or SMS. You could change it at will without any obvious signs. Quote of the day, new promotion, etc. Be sort of a treat for users... I've seen these where they put a design in the QR code, any idea what that is called?

You can have a design, picture or blend into a picture in the code. Pretty cool. Here's a URL for a "free" (not really free ) creator site: http://www.visualead.com/?aid=F5O8&utm_source=the-qr-code-generator&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=generalExample: (the embedded link on this one is just a place holder to show how it works) All elements are dynamic. You can change the location of the code in relation to the pic, change the sizes, even colors of the QR to some extent. Most scanners will understand it with perhaps a 1 to 2 second delay over a "pure" QR code. Here's some pretty cool examples: http://www.visualead.com/explore-qr-code-designs/Anyway, that's my submission...

What types of funds could invest strictly in DNotes?
Welcome to DNotes, chinook. It depends on the funds. Most of them have their own goals and objectives with a variation of investment strategies to achieve the best balanced portfolio from their prospective. Many funds will not invest in high risk situations such as DNotes, Bitcoin and any other Altcoins for that matter, especially at this infancy stage. This will change over time as the industry matures. However, some funds that allocate a small percentage of their portfolio for high risk situations will invest in our industry. I believe that some have been investing in Bitcoin and other coins. In my personal opinion, well positioned and professionally managed digital currency such as DNotes offers a rare opportunity for "small" funds and individuals who have little left over to save. Compared to traditional savings and other investments, investing a small amount in DNotes on a regular basis could, in 10 to 15 years from now, make a significant difference because of its huge potential price appreciation. This is the main reason why we have set up our family of CRISPs so that anyone interested to save on a regular basis can do so. Anyone can easily open an account at the DNotesVault. In the case of students we automatically deposit up to 500 Dnotes in their account over a period of 12 months. They can start owning DNotes without having to pay for them. We are still in pilot mode at this point but will start promotion our family of CRISPs in a few months. It is important that there is a better awareness of DNotes and our missions before our campaign to encourage more CRISP savers. With regards to "invest strictly in DNotes", I do not believe that is a good idea. There are not sure things in investing. It is always a good discipline to maintain a diversified and balanced portfolio. Hope I have been helpful in answering your question.

From CryptoMoms' Forum: Quote from: indiamikezulu on Today at 06:14:12 AM Much much worse, Chase: peak oil, peak soil, peak water, peak people; debt; militarism, debt, climate change (whether it's us or not . . . ); 'social incohesion' -- and did I mention debt? Summary Tuesday Afternoon (here in Australia): Chinese exchanges down about 4% on average, with one at 5.3% Around 900 companies have suspended trading to halt the rot. Anger expressed that the 'stiffening-up funds' have gone into blue chips (the stuff that didn't fall 5.3%!) Most telling, readers, is the talk of 'unwinding postions.' That means that, not only will selling-pressure continue, it will increase. [This is good: http://atimes.com/2015/07/china-stocks-tumble-again-despite-support-measures ] Europe: " . . . scrambling to find a way . . . " Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia Quote from Shepherd: That sounds more troubling than I have been concerned about. I was expecting a soft landing. What is most troubling is that any major economic nose drive will painfully affect the working class significantly more than those who have the reserves to weather the storm. When people are struggling to make ends meet, literally, saving $10 to $20 a month while possible for some do not make that much of a difference at the end of the year ($120 to $240). There are no sure things and past records are no guarantee of future performances. Simply as a point of reference, $120 invested in DNotes in March/April 2014 has gone up 30 times. $120 would be worth $3,600 today. Our family of CRISPs are designed to offer an opportunity for those for are concerned about their abilities to save but seldom have enough money left to make a difference. Anyone who doesn't have a CRISP account should take a very close look and decide if that is right for them. Please feel free to ask any questions. Our community will assist you in any ways they can.

I'm sure many of you may have read about or seen this, it is an important piece of information. "This is test of a decentralized network," Luria said. "Every time Bitcoin passes one of these tests, it gets stronger." Bitcoin is faltering at a bad, bad time for GreeceBitcoin's decentralized system is leaving loophole for technical errors — reminding investors that virtual money might not be the perfect alternative to paper, Bloomberg's Olga Kharif reports. At least not yet. As some Greeks rushed to buy Bitcoin during bank closures, the payment system, which has been trading at its highest since March, took a stumble over the weekend. It took nearly five-times longer than usual to process transactions, said Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. A payment could take up to five hours to be confirmed, while some users were also unable to create new Bitcoin, he said. The lag was caused by an update to the payment system's PC software over the weekend — or more precisely, it was caused by a disjunction in the versions of software users own. Operators who hadn't updated the software "put the whole system out of whack," the article said. Though the issue is expected to be fixed within a few days, it's not the first time Bitcoin has seen this kind of software problem, Luria said. "I don't know that it's (ever) happened to this extent, because Bitcoin has never been this big," he said. Bitcoin's customer base has increased, with nearly 120,000 transactions occurring a day in early June — an increase of 10 times since the same period in 2011, reported Coindesk, a Bitcoin-focused newsdesk. Last week, Coinbase, a Bitcoin exchange and wallet provider, waived fees for customers buying with euros due to the Greek Crisis. According to Bloomberg, software updates will be much smoother if companies take more market share from Bitcoin machine hobbyists. "This is test of a decentralized network," Luria said. "Every time Bitcoin passes one of these tests, it gets stronger." Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/as-the-greek-crisis-rages-on-bitcoin-takes-a-stumble-2015-7#ixzz3fFJ3HFet

Nice Feature Story Story HighlightsThe Greek government might need to issue a digital currency of its own in case the country can no longer use the euroGreece faces a deeper depression and higher unemployment if it returns to a potentially worthless drachmaGreek PM Tsipras Considering a Digital Currency Solution? NewsBTCSarah JennBy Sarah Jenn Jul 7, 2015 7:00PM UTC With the Greek debt crisis still far from over, Prime Minister Alex Tsipras is now considering alternatives to shifting back to a potentially worthless drachma. Bitcoin has been on the rise, thanks to capital controls imposed in the country, leading the Greek leader to consider digital currency solutions. The Greek referendum has resulted in an overwhelming vote against additional austerity, which means that the country could forego the much-needed bailout and be forced out of the euro zone. However, it might be thrown deeper into depression and skyrocketing unemployment in that case. Digital Currency AlternativeGreece is stuck between a rock and a hard place, but it appears that it might be better off staying in the euro zone. “Greeks have seen their living standards cut, unemployment is running at 26 percent, youth unemployment is over 50 percent and they’re about to face an even bigger depression,” mentioned former senior executive of PIMCO Mohamed El-Erian. With that, Tsipras suggested that the Greek government could issue their own digital currency that might have more value in case the country can no longer use the euro. “What Greece needs, is to adopt a global digital currency that is built with trust and integrity for everybody worldwide, so that anyone may participate regardless of financial or economic standing,” explained DNotes founder Alan Yong. “If Greece chooses to return to a national currency like the drachma, or government backed digital currency, it is unlikely that currency would have much value outside of Greece. Greek citizens will fear that the new currency will be worth much less than their current eurodeposits, and this will be counter-productive to preventing further bank runs. I believe that a digital currency that has its value set globally is the solution; a currency that remains stable regardless of local political turmoil,” he added.

That is a very interesting page. I presume quite a few of those top 10 would be DNotesVault addresses.
