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

[Dyna]

I'd just like to A. Increase our post count by one, so that we can 'get more forum pages' for bittrex and B. show everybody my country's Central Bankers beginning to make some noise in regards to digital currency.

"New Zealand Central Banker: Cryptocurrencies Could Supplant Cash"

For anybody interested:

http://www.coindesk.com/new-zealand-central-banker-cryptocurrencies-supplant-cash/

Thanks, TeeGee. Interesting article. The New Zealand Central Banker should be pleased to know that there is already a Digital currency that is trustworthy and stable along with all the other advantages of digital currency including very low transaction cost and strong security as mentioned. That currency happens to be DNotes.

[TeeGee]

We have a newly formed political party here funded by a certain 'Kim DotCom' (Megaupload.com and Mega.com).

He has pumped 4 million dollars into it, I'm not a fan of all of their policies by any means, but one of them is to promote a digital currency or have a 'government backed' digital currency. Could be good, could end up just being an updated currency under government control... or could be Dnotes!

Interesting. “Kim DotCom” has been quite a story for years. I would not be surprised if a government somewhere in the world would try to have their own crypto currency one day. Personally, I don’t believe that is a good idea. It would be very disruptive and not likely to be valued that highly in global commerce.

Yeah, I just saw this... No way!

Basically the USA want CrimDotCom extradited (which NZ should tell the US to back off, we were also illegally spying on him), but other than that, the libertarian party and conservatives in NZ wouldn't take his money, so he bought some socialists to stand for his party, which is now 'coat tailing' its way into parliament. His party would have needed 5% of the vote, but he has teamed up with a nationalist Maori (indigenous NZ peoples) party called 'Mana' who have an electorate seat, which means that they will get in without needing to meet the 5% threshold. This basically means that a vote for either party, counts for them collectively. It's a total joke party, but their list of getting seats in parliament with the joint party is:

1st Mana candidate
2nd Internet candidtate
3rd & 4th Mana candidates
5th and 6th Internet candidates.

And so on... together the two parties are polling at about 2.5% (jointly).

I just read this:


http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/politics/9890124/Internet-Party-outlines-government-backed-currency

It totally depletes the point in people using digital currency... it is totally lost on these people. They want to have a government run currency, to manipulate to the same shocking standards that we see today! The point is though, people are paying attention everywhere.

why the coin price are too high these days?

[TeeGee]

why the coin price are too high these days?

Because people are starting to realise the value in Dnotes. More people want to buy the coin, and fewer people want to sell. Price appreciates accordingly. The main point, is that the price is stable.

That is an excellent answer, TeeGee. DNotes is a conservative Digital Currency that is strongly committed to building stake holder value for long term investment. It places high value on sustainable fundamentals to justify its price. This is done by building valuable properties, applications, and features, keeping them under wrap, until they have been fully tested before launch. Cryptomoms is the first project of such efforts. The practice of not disclosing valuable projects, the DNotes team is working on, creates an inherent tendency for the "unknown" not to be priced in. As more and more potential investors discover DNotes, its price adjusts upwards since "More people want to buy the coin, and fewer people want to sell."

One of DNotes core mission is to be the most stable Digital Currency. Currency stability is the biggest challenge to the crypto world. It has been chaotic across the board so far. DNotes follows a complex stability model based on certain economic and behavioral theories. In brief, people will work as a group to pursue common goals they believe in if that is also in line with the fulfillment of their own self interest. More on this subject will be discussed in this forum in the future.

We are only 20 votes from #30 on Mintpal. 

Chase, thanks for you relentless efforts. We have a good chance to win one of the remaining slots. All indications are that we are getting a lot of new stake holders. Almost 4 BTC worth of DNotes changed hand today at C-Cex alone. There was nothing at C-Cex just a couple of weeks ago. Even Comkort exchange has been getting some action.

DNotes deserves to be on Mintpal more than any other crypto currency. If there is any doubts, just pull a 180 day chart from coin market cap. If you can find a better one in terms of stability and reliable appreciating value, PM me with your DNotes deposit address. There is 50,000 DNotes prize for this challenge. Stability and appreciating value here refers to narrow trading range with consistence higher highs and high lows.

Let's make it happen. Go DNotes on Mintpal. Vote for DNotes!!!

As I search for a coin to maximize my cpu in my running miner machines I have come across a couple features that may be worth investigating and adding.  I found in Vericoin's Wallet two functions that a nice, one should be easy to implement the other I'm not sure would be easy at all.  The easy function is they have four buttons on the main home page of the wallet that link to their various social media points, one for facebook, twitter, bitcointalk.org, and reddit.  Make it easy to find their community, We could include a link to cryptomoms and such.  The other feature is the ability to send payment to bitcoin addresses, I would assume there is some form of conversion to bitcoin before it's sent, not sure if they are doing it through an exchange or what, but may be worth looking into.  Would allow people to use the coin at any retailer that accepts bitcoin.  The downside I see to it is that you are linking yourself to bitcoin then, which has it's pro's and con's .  Thoughts?

First off, I don't speak for the DNote Devs but, I can address this from a person who mines, buys and holds DNote for several reasons:

1. DNotes is consistent. It has good features, no gimmicks and has been rising in value almost from inception.

2. DNotes' community gives the coin added value. We are a very supportive and, I like to think, mature group who sees the value in "steady as she goes" as opposed to "what's the new feature today?"

3. The Devs have long term business plans with set timelines that seem to be working quite well. We do not want DNotes to become a "pump & dump" coin. Perhaps some of your suggestions are all ready included for future adoption.

4. Long term investments draw a certain value from stability. It's not's healthy to introduce new features and gimmicks once you have established that your commodity/cion/etc is a long haul vehicle.

Just me 2 cents, I'm sure the Devs will present their feelings, these are just mine as an investor and supporter.

It is indeed an interesting feature that deserves some attention and investigation. We would also like to hear everyone's thoughts on this kind of feature for DNotes as well as other features you guys feel are important. We need to consider what are the right features for DNotes long term success. As we push forward on all fronts, we realize the technology plays a key role in the driving force behind DNotes.

You have hit upon some of the key points RJF. Very insightful. Thank you both, your contributions are invaluable.

Have to entertain some important visitors today. Hence, here is my quick response. Thanks to Marcuslong for bringing to our attention features and applications floating around in our industry. As much as we have a full development team working on various features and applications it only objective and wise for us to be well informed on what else is going on in our space.

That is an excellent response from RJF. Thank you. Right on point as to what DNotes is all about. We are for the masses globally. We positioned DNotes to be simple to understand, easy to use, with no scarcely stuff for the common people worldwide. That is our ultimate goal. The key words to describe DNotes are: trustworthy, stable, and reliable long term appreciation. DNotes is the Digital Currency of the Future with Lasting Value. It’s a long journey ahead and many will temporarily overtake us on the way. We will survive the test of time and be one among the few to reach the finishing line. The winning prize is quite valuable.

It is our preference as long term stake holders for DNotes to be under valued than priced to perfection or way beyond. When there are no fundamentals to support mega valuations, the price will collapse every time, often bringing about irreparable damages. Consequently, the DNotes team has a strict policy of not disclosing projects that are work in progress, until they have been successfully tested and ready for launch. We consciously choose not to price in the unknown. This has an inherent tendency for DNotes to be under valued. It also means that new investors with a long term view have the highest probabilities of a healthy return but very low risk of loosing invested funds.

Building altcoin brand right away

Many have tried before you and the results have generally not been pretty.
You challenge, if you should decide to accept it, is to create a lasting altcoin brand that is used by millions worldwide.
First, you’ll need to get a lot of details right.

You Must Build A World Class Team

World class teams build world class products. You plan on leading a global currency revolution, right? It’s going to take a lot of experience and dedication from a highly skilled team to pull that off. As your project grows, so will the complexity. You’ll have to quickly solve problems and extend your technical capabilities.
Most altcoins will never get past this stage. They will have too hard of a time attracting major talent.
If you can overcome this basic but all-important issue you have a chance at really building something of lasting value.
Your eventual success starts with your team. Choose well.

You MUST Offer Real Innovation

In a world of clones only innovation can help your cryptocoin stand apart from the crowd.
There must be something unique and compelling about your altcoin in order to expect success.
When all is said and done you will need a Unique Selling Proposition that positions your altcoin in a way that has never been tried before.
Your coin must solve a problem or it will fail.

You Can’t Quit

Your path will be hard. Your journey will be filled with resistance.
You can’t give up, no matter how tough it all gets.
Building an altcoin brand is not for the uncommitted or weak of heart. It takes time and dedication in order to show the naysayers you mean business.
If you keep striving you may just exceed all expectations. If you give up, the world will never know about your altcoin.

Believe In Yourself

Never underestimated the power of attitude. As Henry Ford said: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can‘t–you’re right.”
If you’re confident you’ve really come up with something special, stay steadfast in your belief. Others will try and derail your efforts. They will mock your efforts. When you KNOW you’re onto something big you can weather this type of criticism easily.
The haters are a fact of life for new altcoins. You will be forced to deal with a jaded crowd when you launch a new cryptocoin.
Be prepared for their animosity. Understand their skepticism is natural and not personal.
They have been burned before and they will be burned again.
If you know YOU’RE not going to burn them, forgive them their ignorance and focus on educating them about the advantages of your coin. Don’t lower yourself by engaging in common trolling or arguing. It just won’t help.
If you keep to the high road people will have more respect for you and your project. Critics can be won over, especially if they see your dedication and commitment to the cause. If your project is truly unique they’ll support you and your efforts more than they would an average clone.

It’s Up To You

The ultimate success or failure of your altcoin brand is up to you.
You have the power to push your project to heights that few can dream of. The road will not be easy, but your accomplishment will speak for itself.
Go forth and build an altcoin brand that is remembered for the Ages!
The power is in your hands.

Exactly! That should be the opening page of an "Alt Coin Bible"...  I hope you introduced him to DNotes!  

PS: It just hit me, the author talks about needing a "special feature" make a coin stand out and draw supporters.

DNotes' "special feature" is Integrity, not many others have it.

DNotes' "special feature" is Integrity, not many others have it.

If the people behind the currency has no “Integrity”, than there can be no reasonable expectation for the currency to be trust worthy. Once that becomes apparent, each stake holder’s instinct of protecting one’s self interest kicks in. That can often be quite destructive. DNotes makes every attempt to promote the pursuit of a common goal for the mutual benefits of all stake holders for the long term. In such an environment, true supporters of DNotes have a higher tendency to protect their self interest as a group as oppose to, individually. Such environment is significantly more favorable in providing stability to the currency.

Self interest is the main sign post of any individual, group, community, association, state, or nation. We all protect our self our interest. This concept exposes the risk of a currency with rapid price appreciation not supported by strong fundamentals. Once a downward trend is clearly established, investors will react to protect their self interest individually, i.e. cash in before others. It becomes a “bank run” as in the case of AuroraCoin. It fell from $40 to $0.12 in a few weeks. Once that “Integrity” is broken, there is no coming back.

I trust that DNotes is sufficiently unique in so many different ways, such that any serious writer, or investors will discover us sooner than later. Once again, I urge our community to be more engaged in this forum. This is an important platform for potential investors to learn more about DNotes.

This was posted on http://ff4dc.com/ and I was wondering if there was a typo.  Is there even this many Bitcoin ATMs in the rest of the world?  I realize these terminals aren't the same as the ATMs we have, but what a boost this is for the Ukraine if they push for early adoption.

Forum Opinion:

I think because we have the most active development team around, all projects are kept under wraps (as they should be in any good business), and we have a more "mature" (use the word old at your own risk!) community, a lot of our dedicated followers maybe aren't sure how they can contribute.  Maybe we could start a list on different things that everyone would find of interest, not just sophisticated investors.  I have a couple of ideas (veto if necessary):

- I know we don't focus on the price and none of us think "to da moon" is part of a good business plan, but this would be interesting.  If someone, other than our overworked DNotes team, who watches the markets closely, makes a daily market recap, potential investors would be impressed that we took this step.

- If you have brought someone new into DNotes or got them voting, let everyone know - even one person is great news.

- Since Bitcoin is going to play a huge role for the foreseeable future, post interesting Bitcoin news.

- If you find any "women in cryptocurrency" news, post it on Crypto Moms.

- Other than Mintpal, are there any other places we should be voting, etc.

- Please add on to this list...

I convinced my dad to buy 1k USD of digital currency in the last week or so. I won't specify whether the purchase has already been made or not, or state what currency he is / will be holding as I wouldn't want people to speculate on whether Dnotes was about to make a big price movement or not (which would be bad for somebody trying to buy if the price moved so much).

My Dad is a senior Tax agent in NZ, responsible for policy advice in tax loopholes and collecting tax evaders etc, so I found it rather ironic. He did word it to me as "I want to get your MUM set up with the digital currency thing..." hahaha.

Brought about 6 total people to digital currency so far, got many more interested who I'm due to meet up with, and discuss the advantages. An investment / corporate banker in NZ who I met once during a football match now regularly catches up with me to hear all the news about digital currency among other things. Many of his very wealthy clients have been asking him about Bitcoins etc, but his bank (Australia and New Zealand Banking Group) won't go near it as it isn't 'regulated'. It's funny when you start getting professionals nearing their 50's coming to mid-20 somethings for advice! Some of these clients are worth in the hundreds of millions. I can make the presumption that they would want to use digital currencies as an "instant payment" between their / other businesses, and it would represent an amount of fiat. They could then settle bills say once a month or whatever and pay far less in transaction fees as represented by their holdings of digital currency. The reason they would choose to use digital currency over say a system they made themselves (run up tabs, using a valueless representation like 'imaginary points' etc) to foster this system, would be the fact that Bitcoin is worth real money in the event something went pear shaped. Payments would be made instantly without cost, and they'd save a fortune on daily bank fees clearing. Regardless, it's just a guess.

I do have some stuff in the works for the community, but somehow I've managed to be called into work 5 days this week and have been short of time. Hopefully soon.

Hello thread!

This is ironic, but I have been mining dnotes almost since the beginning and this is the first post I have made in here. Dnotes has made me more BTC than any of the other scrypt coins I have mined for almost 2 years. I was mining at 6 m/h at one time and earning 30,000 dnotes a day at one point. Unfortunately, due to heat and electricity living in the south I have had to move to x11 with my old gpu farm but have been back mining with my gridseeds It has been the most wonderful coin to mine for me and all of my trading has been on Allcoin.com.

thanks for such a great coin! its still my favorite. Glad to see its true worth coming alive!
