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

[Dyna]

I just visited Cryptomoms' forum. It is really shaping up to be such a fun and educational site. Lots of quality posts with very positive remarks. I even learned a few things from Chase's investment advice.

Get ready for Wednesday launch of Cryptomoms.com. We have scheduled a far reaching Press Release submitted to over 40,000 media outlets worldwide. Lol. Our Dev. may run out of DNotes to give away, I hope the price will not go up too much, too fast in case I have to go out and buy some DNotes to help him out. I know we can't change the world but we are certainly work very hard to change the gender imbalance of the crypto currency world overwhelmingly dorminated by men.

CRYPTOMOM'S LAUNCH  -  Wednesday, April 16th!!

I can't believe how much fun this is - everyone coming on board has nothing but positive comments.  Way to go DNotes team!

Yes! Do we have a time more or less? Don't want to start Tweeting about it before it's actually launched!

Anytime Wednesday should be fine. We will be ready!

Cryptomoms.com is allsum.

One thing I kept thinking as I peruse the site is that there could be a bit more DNotes promotion. It's obviously the giveaway currency of choice, but is it to much to have the DNotes logo at the bottom of each page, preceded by "sponsored by"

Or something like that? I feel like a more overt understanding of what Crypto is the innovative face behind an innovative site...would be really helpful for new users to understand.

Crypto Moms will need help with this:

Before these women are slowly introduced to the world of cryptocurrency exchanges, buying, selling, etc., they are going to have to deal with the frustration of having to get Bitcoin first.  Anyone that can clearly explain the easiest ways to buy Bitcoin, what you do with it once you have it, getting it to an exchange, etc., can you please post your advice on the forum.  Thanks.

Agreed Chase. We should probably have a post on the main site as well.

Also depends on where everyone lives..how easy it is to purchase btc.. or how difficult.. This is surely an issue that needs a good article. I hope more countries get atms as well. Also we can list the sites they can earn btc like paid to click and faucets.

I'll get on writing something up.  For the time being here's some basic info.  The best way if it's available is localbitcoins.com, there you will be able to get bitcoins either through bank transfer or in person.  You can use pretty much any online transferring service to do this like western union or paypal.  Another way(the way I used) was through a site called Virwox.  I don't know if it's still possible but it was a convoluted process that ended in about 11% fees and really was an unsatisfactory experience.  I think I'm just going to focus on localbitcoin.com but will cover other ways if someone has one.

A short explanation of how and where to get Bitcoin and then DNotes.


Buying Bitcoin is a simple process made seemingly difficult by the techno jargon of making a trade.  It's really as simple as make an offer, make a transfer, you have Bitcoin!  Currently the most popular and secure avenue to purchase Bitcoin is through Coinbase.  Coinbase employs a very official simple process to get your coins.  If you are familiar with using paypal or similar processors you will find it easy to use Coinbase.  Creating a coinbase wallet/account is straight forward and only requires a valid email.  From there you can familiarize yourself with their system and how the site works.  Then you add and verify your account information and you're ready to get your coins. Another option is Localbitcoins.com. Think of it as the Craigslist of Bitcoin with all the same risks associated.  One thing that makes LocalBTC different is instead of only being able to use a bank account you can get your coins with cash in person or any other form of online payment really. Localbitcoins should be used by experienced traders who are familiar with the risks.

Once you purchase your bitcoin it will be in the wallet of your choice if you followed proper procedure.  There are a few options like online or cloud wallets, desktop wallets, and strait to exchanges.  An exchange is a online/cloud wallet but unlike the cloud wallet you can trade your coins.  For storage purposes a desktop wallet is the best for any cryptocurrency.  If you want to have your coins ready to trade for profits keeping them on an exchange is the best, but keep in mind the risks involved.  As many of you may know the recent collapse of a few exchanges have left depositors hanging with no or little compensation.  This is why if you store your coins on an exchange you want to use one that will give you interest on them.  The higher the interest the better, at least you can sideline interest gains to hedge against a possible loss or you could let it compound and take the risk.  And finally there are the online wallets. These I only recommend for people who don't actually have a computer for a wallet and don't want the risk of an exchange collapse.  But still there is site security to worry about, as with any website it is susceptible to hacking and a subsequent loss of your coins.  Sometimes when and exchange or online wallet is hacked you can recover some of your coins from the site operators but don't count on it.  The best way is always going to be in your possession with the official wallet.

To safely exchange your bitcoin for any other alt coin you need an exchange account.  Specifically I will be talking about how to get DNotes.   Currently the best exchange, in my opinion, is Allcoin.com.  There you can easily set up an account, transfer your bitcoin to and from as well as exchange a multitude of currencies, DNotes being one of them.  Once you get an account set up you can transfer your coins to there by simply going to the send tab in your wallet and entering the receive address given to you by the exchange, the amount and the pass key if you set one up which is highly recommended.  Once your bitcoin is there you can trade it for DNotes by either making an offer or taking someones offer.  I recommend making an offer unless you think the price is bottomed or low in which case you may want to take an offer.  But in most cases you'll find that if you make your offer around the top of the list you'll pick up some if not all of what you're looking for.  The same idea applies to selling as well.

When you trade you want to think of it as a negotiation.  You either stay firm in the price you want or if after a while you don't get anywhere you inch a little closer to what the other person wants.  When you think about it you don't often walk into a store and buy the first product off the shelf.  You look at the same product the competitors are offering and make a decision on which is better.  Just like in an exchange why would you go in an buy or sell for the first price you see.  This is one of the reasons why prices fluctuate so much with coins because there are a lot of novice "traders" who don't really understand how a market works.  Also since these coins are being created daily there is the group of people who don't care for price and just sell sell sell.  A lot of people see this as bad but when you think about it like I said earlier if you make an offer around the top of the buy list someone will sell it to you.  This makes for a tricky balance because if nobody puts their buy orders high enough, miners will simply stop selling and mining making the actual value of a coin to drop and then the market value to drop.  If you aren't a big miner selling no matter the price when you sell you have to negotiate too but it's a little more difficult because you have those pesky big guys undercutting you left and right.  You don't want to follow suit and "dump" it's better to as with the buy orders put it at the top of the list and eventually the two will meet and level out.  And finally don't take advice from anyone when it comes to when and how much you should invest that decision is best left to yourself as nobody can predict the future.

A short explanation of how and where to get Bitcoin and then DNotes.

Wow, great write up Tofer. My only concern would be that it sounds a little scary in the beginning. Maybe I should look at localbitcoin again before I make that assessment though, haven't been there in a while. Today, I would feel much more comfortable directing users to coinbase because of their reputation.

Coinbase is, far and away, the place to send anyone new to this game. Coinbase has got 25m in VC money from Andreesen Horowitz (THE biggest name in High Tech Venture Capital), sits in the heart of Silicon Valley/Bay Area, has over a million users, is integrated with Overstock.com, Mint.com, and others....it's a no brainer as to be the place to send anyone getting into Bitcoin for the first time.

Yeah, I guess that's true now that I think about it.  I was using localbitcoin a while back since I wanted to use cash.  I can draft one with coinbase instead.

Also could anyone who has been really active here pm me their address and I can split up a couple days worth of my mining between you(about 5k).  I think there's about 5 of you right?

I've been out for so long I have no idea what is going on with the heartbleed crap. Are we going to have to upgrade our wallets?

Sounds good. Would you be willing to post it on the cryptomoms.com forum? Then if you don't mind I would like to use it as a base for a blog post.

DNotes windows wallet users are unaffected.

Consider my creations open source to be copy and pasted added to and used how you see fit by default, credit is always appreciated but not necessary. I like to keep the crypto theme with my work. You can quote me on that!

Good to know we're unaffected maybe an official notice is in order, as I know it affects ssl but it isn't really clear to the average person who is affected and since Bitcoin was affected people like me most likely assume the same thing.  But this may have already been covered. 

I'm not going to post it on cryptomoms forum since I'm not a cryptomom!  So I'll have my wife get on there and maybe I can get her as informed as me! lol She isn't a mom but she will be some day so I'll call it close enough.  If she doesn't want to I'll do it though I'm just messing around.

Tofer, if you want to use this as a convenient excuse to recruit your wife to join us I am okay with that. However, there is no gender restriction at Cryptomoms. Everyone is welcomed.  There will be many targeted campaigns with a primary focus in reaching out to women.

Oh I know I'm just messing around


Also I edited what I wrote earlier if any one wants to check it out I thought I'd leave a localbtc mention in there because it does allow for cash transactions for people who don't have a bank account.  They're out there.
