Saturday Morning Food for Thought

'Total Data Security Approach'

Talked to a cryptography enthusiast the other day about 'ordinary cryptography' -- normal Internet security, etc., not including crypto currencies.

Been thinking for ages that we could be taking an approach whereby we assume that the use of one or more cryptos is integral to the general security of ordinary people. Think about it, having anti-virus on your computer, for example, is an 'overlap point.' You gotta have it for general security; ya gotta have it as part of the security of your crypto wallets.

Saleable product!

Mark, I like that "Total Data Security Approach", but don't expect that any time soon. Just doing something about it is not good enough. We want to be very systematic and strategic about it. Within a couple of years, DNotes will have the advantage of scale and coverage. There is also a great advantage to own the most important parts of our ecosystem. I can see how the whole thing can be incorporated as a total package. Thanks for sharing another great idea.

Great press release, CryptoBroker79.  “There is an overwhelming amount of fragmented knowledge out there, and we wanted to make this simple enough that people from all walks of life and from anywhere in the world, can learn about it at their own pace.”

Bitcoin and Digital Currency like DNotes can be intimidating and even scary to anyone who has not heard much about it. Yet it is not because there is not enough published inform available but “an overwhelming of fragmented information” everywhere including a great amount of inaccurate reporting and aggressive headlines.

Knowledge vacuum is another challenge our industry has to overcome if mass acceptance of digital currency were to be expected any time soon. DNotes is committed to help overcome this hurdle. In addition to Digital Currency Educational Guide we will soon be launching DCEBrief for busy political leaders, regulators, media executives, educators, business executives and others by focusing on issues that matter with “Executive Summary” supported by full length articles.

     I want to publicly acknowledge Brandon (Cryptobroker) and Wiser for this press release. They pretty much accomplished this single-handedly. Brandon has been working like a dog, mostly for his charity, NOT for himself. Typical DNotes way of thinking, and I LOVE IT! There are causes greater than one's self. My advice to everyone else: Find a cause, and GO FOR IT! I also want to thank Blake, our press release guy. He is dong a FANTASTIC job. Alan, Joe and I talk about him frequently, and think very highly of him. He is in "our corner", and has went the "extra mile" for us time and time again.

     I am SO proud of all the DNotes team, from Alan and Joe, right down to folks who are DNotes disciples, but mebbe post infrequently (the silient majority, in my opinion).

Thanks Smokey, if it weren't for DNotes I may have never got the opportunity to help so many people who are very important to me. I also encourage anyone who is truly passionate about a cause to pursue it now. Your cause can grow with DNotes, giving you added ability to provide unique solutions for existing problems.

I really appreciate the press release by Blake, making a very generous contribution to help us attain our goals. Since the press release by Bitcoin PR Buzz, our total downloads have nearly doubled!

Bitcoin and Digital Currency like DNotes can be intimidating and even scary to anyone who has not heard much about it. Yet it is not because there is not enough published inform available but “an overwhelming of fragmented information” everywhere including a great amount of inaccurate reporting and aggressive headlines.

It's clear that DNotes has taken the forefront on educating the masses. If Bitcoin had made education a priority in their second year, maybe they could have dispelled some of the unwarranted criticism earlier on, and we would be seeing a more widely embraced currency today.

Cryptsy votes up to 34355 at the time of this post, DNotes remains in position #2 with the top position at 42545. As Alan mentioned we may not need to compete with the top position, but it could only help our case if we make it to #1.

Also, as a reminder, tomorrow is the deadline for New York's bitlicense. For New York residents, be sure to check your exchange's balance and if they are licensed. Poloniex will no longer be serving New York residents.

Yesterday met with Horus from Cryptsy in chatroom, ask support to add DNotes and fast explain how serius proyect is, he say the are starting to add coins again and problably soon have surpraise

On a normal day I received 50 DNotes related emails from around the world. With few exceptions, I response to every single one; most of them are just copy and paste, of course, but some are more personalized. I do not like auto response. Reading every single email is demanding but it gives me a very good feel of how DNotes and our related projects are being received.

Perhaps over 10% of my replies are individually responded to, including some from high level executives and others that relate to our long term plan.  The following email is an example of that and worth sharing: For privacy the name has been changed.

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

Hello Alan,

I hope you are trying to enjoy your summer and keeping cool. I just downloaded your Dnotes Education guide real great and user friendly. One thing that sparked my attention is the retirement plan that you added. Could the same concept of Insurance be added to it?

I mean it is a thought considering Fintech insurance is trying to get out.

Let me know what you think.

Jane

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

Hello Jane,

Very good to hear from you. I am doing well and have always enjoyed the summer since I love gardening. Hope you are doing well too.

DNotes is much more than another digital currency. We are always very proactive in identifying industry problems and challenges and provide solutions where we can. Educating consumers globally is one of them; hence the DNotes Educational Guide you just downloaded. We will be launching DCEbrief later this month. There is a serious knowledge vacuum in our industry, even among high level executives who are currently participants in our industry. DCEBrief focuses on providing "Executive Summary" on issues that matter, with full length articles. All indications are that it will be very well received.

I am glad that you had a chance to visit DNotesVault and took notice of CRISP For Retirement. All of our CRISP programs are still in pilot phase positioned for full scale roll-out at the most opportune time. The biggest holdback is regulatory constraint which otherwise would allow anyone worldwide to acquire DNotes with their local currency and instantly send the DNotes to their CRISP account at DNotesVault. However, I am confident that such convenience will become a reality in a number of countries in the near future. Imagine shopping in Spain at a "participating" convenient store and be able to tell the checkout person, " Make it $100 euros and send the change to my DNotes savings" One tap on your smart phone to bring up a selection of DNotes addresses and tap on the one you wanted the change to be sent to. Done.

"One thing that sparked my attention is the retirement plan that you added. Could the same concept of Insurance be added to it?"

And finally to answer your question. The answer is 'yes' if you can wait. Within 3 to 5 years DNotes ecosystem will include a registered and licensed exchange, banks, partner banks among others offering a full suite of financial services. Pilot on CRISP for Insurance could start as early as next year. Initial test will offer a whole life policy with a "Term Rider" and a universal life policy with different flavors.

In the mean time, CRISP For Employee Incentive Benefits is actually designed to engage Insurance Agencies and Insurance Sales Persons early so that they get to know DNotes and become DNotes stakeholders. For those who are not familiar with insurance sales, it is helpful to know that this industry spends billions on cash incentive often payout daily or weekly to reward producers who are typically dependent on 100% commission.

I hope this answered your question.

All my best to you,

Alan

It is so cool that she found out about the CRISP for Retirement from the DNotes Educational Guide and had the insight to see how the CRISP could be applied in other circumstances.  We talked about how DNotes would make a great alternative to health care insurance, long term care insurance, etc a while ago.  Using it within managed insurance products in a few years will be a gamechanger for the insurance industry!  Very exciting!!

DNotes Bitcoin App – Cryptocurrency Guide

DNotes has launched its new mobile application that offers educational resources and instructions related to digital currency.

Bitcoin, when first introduced, it was termed as the currency of the future. Six years down the line, the digital currency is gradually being adopted worldwide which makes us believe that the future is almost upon us. However, there are few things that are hindering extensive adoption of bitcoin throughout. Lack of education about bitcoin and other digital currencies tops that list of challenges.

Not everyone knows about digital currencies. While some people have no idea what bitcoin is, there are others who are full of misinformation which was fed to them by the mainstream media. Mainstream media nowadays so used to selective coverage that people only get to hear about the negative aspects of bitcoin or events were bitcoin and other digital currencies were misused. In order to overcome these issues, it is very important to educate everyone about digital currencies, how it works, advantages and disadvantages as well.

The best way to offer access these educational content is through mobile phones. After all, the days of feature phones is gone and everyone now uses a smartphone, which they always carry on them and use them to consume loads of information every minute. These days, we have many educational application available on Google and iOS app stores. There are specific mobile applications for learning different programming languages, similarly Coursera and other teaching platforms also create and publish different applications for different courses.

It is high time we had few really good applications that provide educational resources related to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. One such app was recently launched by DNotes. DNotes Educational Guide is currently available on Google Play store for Android mobile devices. The application is created by DNotes, which is a new decentralized cryptocurrency. Even though it has many links related to DNotes, the main essence of this application is cryptocurrency in general. The application tries to address the misconceptions related to digital currencies by offering some trivia about cryptocurrencies while comparing it with fiat currency and events related to conventional assets.

The DNotes Educational Guide also provides detailed instructions for using DNotes vault and mining.

Here are some more dcebrief concepts, there is some overlap with previous ideas.

Digital currency is not anti-government, nor is it anarchist by nature. In fact, by design it is very well aligned with the principles of the United States founding fathers and I would venture to say the majority of the today's world population. "The highest level of prosperity occurs when there is a free-market economy and a minimum of government regulations."  - Quoted from the 28 Fundamental Principles of the Founding Fathers

Digital currency has a predetermined issuance rate that is easy to understand and 100% transparent. Unlike issuance of fiat currency, the process is often convoluted and highly manipulated, and you practically need a degree in economics to tie everything together and truly understand what is going on (smoke and shadows).

As we progress as a civilization, our economic future should be getting better, but it is getting worse. I won't say digital currency is the answer to everything, but it can level the playing field a bit.

Expanding on the idea of what digital currency is backed by from my point of view... Digital currency is backed by computational power, electricity, and time (through a predetermined issuance rate using a regulatory algorithm).

Cryptsy Vote Update:

DNotes is still in the 1st place with  45,200 votes.

I have just sent the following email to Paul Vernon:

Thank you all for your dedicated and strong support. Let's hope for the best.

Thanks,

Alan

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

To: Paul Vernon,

Hello Paul,

I trust that you are aware that the DNotes' community had expressed a strong interest to get DNotes listed on Cryptsy exchange. They have acted accordingly with great efforts, placing DNotes in the first position of your voting list at this time.

As you may know by now, DNotes is totally committed to the long term best interest of all of our stakeholders and our industry. It is more than just another digital currency. DNotes is built with trust and integrity with a strong community to help address many issues hindering our industry from mass acceptance of digital currency worldwide.

Those issues include wide gender gap, lack of trust factors and much needed education among others.  We are also the only one offering a whole family of cryptocurrency investment savings plans (CRISPs) making it convenient for every one worldwide to participate. To accomplish all that and more we have created and funded our own ecosystem.

I hope you will favorably consider listing DNotes on Cryptsy exchange soon. Please let us know promptly if there is more that we need to do as a community.

Thank you for your kind consideration and looking forward to your reply.


Sincerely,

Alan Yong
