[ANN][NOTE]DNotes - Celebrating DNotes 3rd Birthday - Forum Now Open

[kanus1113]

As you may know, Chris will be speaking for us at the CoinFest UK event. Here is the rough draft summary of what he will be covering there:

Those of us within the cryptocurrency community hardly need to be reminded of the benefits, both economic and social, which digital money can bring both to the UK and the global economy. But the assurance of us ‘in the know’ is mirrored by confusion, concern and a lack of confidence among the general public. Prudence and caution are not words commonly associated with the dramatic and rapid rise of cryptocurrencies, but the model of DNotes, a new, open-source digital currency built around social responsibility and global outreach, demonstrates an alternative path, striking a balance between a reliable cryptocurrency geared towards promoting public confidence, and striking, innovative use of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies are the future; the time has come to consider their legacy.

Inspiring, love it Chris, will we get a video for the event?

Looking into it. They are looking to get it live streamed as well.

Awesome Chris! I just looked at CoinFest to check out the details. You'll kill it bro!

If you want to read any of my slides from the talk I gave in November, feel free to pm me (if you're one of the members in this forum - since I can't put an alias to your name at this time).

This jogged my memory in regards to my talk in November, I've asked again when the video of my talk will be uploaded. I just got a reply saying they're slated to be edited and uploaded this weekend. I'm currently hoping the second DNotes video - "An Introduction to DNotes" will be completed by the end of February. The filming of that video went great, much better than the last video. With Chris's talk, we're going to have a seriously awesome channel lining up!

Busy busy, will be more active from after Monday / Tuesday... promise! I'm still alive, albeit more covertly behind the scenes.

Always good to see you here, TeeGee. I know that you have been spending a lot of time behind the scene for DNotes, despite your own heavy workload. We appreciate that very much. The book is shaping up to be as unique as DNotes. It is beginning to look like a trail blazer and likely to be of great help to many small business owners. I appreciate all the help and encouragement I have been getting. Thank you.

Chinese Exchange

last September, I approached Yunbi on behalf of TooSlackToHelpMe Coin. We wanted to first establish that this Chinese exchange had an English speaker on its help desk. Yup. His name is 'Savi' (sunyi@yunbi.com). Now, it's illogical for me to re-contact this guy about Dnotes . . . but someone else could.

Thank you, Mark. A request has been sent.

I received this on Twitter this morning and could use some ideas for the reply. (hint) - Her bio reads: Seeking positive social change. MA student: International Security, Migration, & Project Management @sciencespo.

Q: @CryptoMoms Doing research on crypto, thought I start here, what do you think is the biggest (un)or explored controversy in crypto 2day?

The word controversy is throwing me off a bit??

Tough to answer, written as such. I would personally point her towards regulation issues (Chris's article on finding the Goldilocks Zone) and breaking out of speculation into general use. Maybe even the privacy/anonymity issue or providing service to the unbanked.

Pretty interesting to watch as this unfolds, Industry Businesses Pledge to Avoid Bitcoin Network Split.

Just hours after the release of an alternative implementation of the bitcoin software, a group of miners, exchanges and service providers who work with the digital currency issued a letter stating that they would not back any "controversial" changes to the bitcoin network.

The letter calls for an increase in the cap that currently limits the bitcoin blockchain's transaction processing capabilities while also voicing support for a proposal called Segregated Witness, code previously put forward by the team behind the majority-used Bitcoin Core software as part of a broader scalability roadmap.

Those signing the letter said they reject the viability of a "contentious hard-fork", a change to the bitcoin software that makes previous versions incompatible. In this instance, all of the network's users would either have to download new software in order to be part of the new chain, or transaction history, or continue running the old version.

In the case of Bitcoin Classic, the change could result in one network operating with blocks with a 2MB block size cap and another with the existing 1 MB cap.

The letter reads:

"We think any contentious hard fork contains additional risks and potentially may result in two incompatible blockchain versions, if improperly implemented. To avoid potential losses for all bitcoin users, we need to minimize the risks. It is our firm belief that a contentious hard-fork right now would be extremely detrimental to the bitcoin ecosystem."

The publication followed the release of Bitcoin Classic, an effort to raise the block size limit of the bitcoin network by means of a hard fork. Prior to the release of the client, those backing the project claimed significant support from the bitcoin mining community, going as far as listing a number of mining entities on the project’s main website.

Yet, doubts remained as to the level of support from miners (particularly those based in China) for the Bitcoin Classic proposal.

The second sentence in the Pricenton book claims "Pessimists claim Bitcoin is inherently broken and will suffer an inevitable and spectacular collapse." Never heard of anyone taking this position!? It's one thing to speculate problems, but a spectacular collapse... I guess I'll keep reading, they may elaborate further.

Quick update on the bot progress. Looking into how to handle intermittent internet connection and problems connecting to PoloniEx. Also, maybe how to spread out the buy orders a bit more, as they tend to concentrate the majority of the spend at the beginning of the day.

We luuurv Poloniex, but it is strangely 'clunky' at times.

PoloniEx is great! It is good for me to be able to experience the heavy load issues combined with internet connectivity issues for the bot.

Unfortunately, the drama will continue and put a damper on Bitcoin progress.

It seems to me that rampant P&D is back in full force as reflected in CoinMarketCap.
