Excellent article Evander!

"Meanwhile, companies like Coinbase are having no problems with their business plan, as they have had their best year ever, building a domestic exchange, while holding millions of Bitcoin wallets. Maybe bitcoin isn’t the problem here?" This is quoteworthy!!

Thanks all, looks like it's back up to 400+.

Welcome to DNotes, bhokor. DNotes is a long term investment. We believe that for the currency to be useful and valuable as a medium of exchange there has to be fundamental value to support it, hence a for profit company. The real payoff could take a few years and best suited for long term investors. We know that we are making all the right moves, but also mindful not to get ahead of ourselves.

Thanks, RJF.

Getting DNotes in and out of Cryptsy is quick and problem free when I tested it a couple of days ago. Sending Bitcoin out is still a problem. I am still waiting for two transactions sent 5 days ago.

Got Dnotes onto and off Cryptsy in under ten minutes. WTS.

Added around 80 MH/s

Better now? 

Welcome bhokor, glad to hear you are interested in DNotes!

Probably one of the most promising altcoins actually,  buying some and waiting for updated news about company

+1 on sustainability.

I'm also watching tomorrows Fed announcement with a keen eye. Most commentators seem to be of the opinion that there will be a rates rise (and there may just), however I personally don't think they possibly can unless the Fed are purposefully going to collapse the system. Even a 25 basis point rise would see 800 billion dollars taken out of the system (more than QE2 from all world central banks combined), and would see the S&P drop to around ~1400. Goldman Sach's are now officially selling their High Yield bonds to their clients... there is no chance any 'responsible' person would raise rates. I however, do not view the Fed as responsible - but an actor in self-interest. The High Yield will spread to investment grade debt fairly soon, and the QE4 that I foresee the Fed announcing sometime in January will be used to transfer ALL of this debt to the public - all the risk will be taken on by your tax dollars, whereupon it will be safe for the banking system (the Fed) to then collapse the system and not make any loss themselves... I feel really uncomfortable with this, because I can foresee this ponzi scheme harming a lot of people if such a collapse were to occur - I don't enjoy speculating like this, but I think it's necessary to discuss on such an important day. I think the world economy is in a very fragile state, and tomorrows announcement is going to have massive ramifications to world markets.

I did initially think there would be enough 'money' / liquidity in the system to carry the economy through to Feb, however I now think that was a bit generous. The shadow banking system (the creation of credit that has no regulatory oversight) is heading negative, and most commentators don't even know what the shadow banking system is (nor most economists... I also struggle to get my head around it). The shadow banking system, in my view, is the economic limiting constraint on the Fed's upcoming announcement which I believe will prevent them from lifting rates. I think they're playing a game of making people believe they're going to raise rates, which will have the same effect as if they actually did.

This isn't to say there won't be a rates rise tomorrow (they could change their target slightly), but god. help. us. if they do. As IMZ has pointed out, crypto's future lies in fiat currency economic instability - people may rush to send their assets to safer assets like physical gold / crypto. Let us see what happens tomorrow with the Fed announcement and any effect it may have on the Bitcoin price. I'll be interested to see if the overwhelming majority of commentators had any substance to their claims, or if it is just an 'echo-chamber' of adopted opinion.

Have a good day all. I'll check back tomorrow - in the meantime I'll pray for no rates rise.

Excellent TeeGee! One thing that keeps coming to mind, Sustainability. As I watch projects in our industry pop up I find myself thinking how is that project sustainable. Get funding, create or start a product, run out of money. We are creating a pathway that will allow us to be here for the long term and be able to support the DNotes ecosystem long term by creating this revenue generating company and by not pushing forward prematurely and before we are ready. This may or may not be appropriate for this video.

" . . . completely peer to peer . . . '

Woo hoo!

Press release looks fantastic, I like DCEBrief's layout much more than everywhere else!!

Dear community,

I am working on another video - this time a more marketing based video that will highlight what makes DNotes different compared to industry peers, and what our loose plans are. We could consider it an "Introduction to DNotes" - who we are, where we are going, and why we are doing what we do.

This video will be more scripted than the previous interview I have done, and I am aiming for a more polished final product to use as advertising. My question is: what would you guys think is important to mention when it comes to DNotes - that could be communicated in a four minute video. I have currently got notes that include the aspects outlined by DYNA that were used in Chase's introduction on crytomoms.com:


Cultural differences - respect / reward community / fosters positive atmosphere and growth

Trusted brand - Trust / don't announce projects until near completion (don't affect prices at exchanges) which means we can continue with agile development strategy / always follow through with announced plans / self funded - do not ask community for donations / do not partake in pump and dump / focus on executing current and future strategies and developing technologies at perfect time etc...

Long-term committment - Focus to attract long-term stakeholders / target mainstream population rather than just current crypto industry / focus on participation of under-represented demographics by helping provide education and exposure to them - i.e. Women, developing nations or the unbanked (in future) etc...

Projects that facilitate this long-term commitment - CRISP plans for retirement / students / trust funds / employees / charity, DNotesVault for security and ease of use, DCEBrief to educate the mainstream and decision makers by providing objective news that is helpful because the mainstream media remains naive on the technology.

Requirements for success? - stability, unit of account, medium of exchange - to achieve require outreach (DCEBrief) long term plan... etc

Our future plan - To be a digital currency that is accepted as a viable medium of exchange / to make payments completely peer to peer between market participants and making payments cheaper in the process, to make DNotes the digital currency of global commerce (mass acceptance), no central control or middlemen, executing plan to make this happen, roadmap includes a for profit company in 2016 that will be partly owned by the DNotes currency eco-system.


It is in no particular order, and I won't necessarily use it all. Feel free to add more to this list, or to give advice on tone of the conversation / video - i.e. don't compare / contrast too much with current industry:

that is, don't call the industry often juvenile and rude, then compare that to our more cultured approach, but just focus on how we're more polite and how that facilitates a more friendly and patient atmosphere for new industry participants to learn in...etc.

Thanks, keeping busy.

Judging by all the news on the fragile state of small businesses, the timing couldn't be better for the launch of this book.  Those in business that study, learn, and apply sound advice like this will thrive. 

This is a fantastic press release (below on TDWaterhouse).

Got you, looks like DNotesPool had some unexpected downtime and needs some additional hashrate to get back up to speed if anyone can contribute their mining power. We would appreciate it. I'm sure once everyone resets their miners it will help as well.
