It is worth looking into it. I like team efforts and get our community more involved. DNotes has huge potential for long term appreciation. Those who believe in what we are doing but may not have the means to acquire more DNotes, we have a few generous stakeholders who have continued to give away DNotes personally, on a regular basis. PM me if you like to get more involved.

Thank you for this wonderful comment. I was hoping to find support for this idea. in general - I thought about new media site - with an highly inovative graphic design (by the design's frame of media/news org's) - which on top of this web site will run a strip with the digital currencies rates   - and on our pages we will talk about everything - economy - politics - culture etc, but - with the focused view upon the new global economy - and its new tool - the digital currency. once a month - or even a week, should  be a printed edition which we have to make great efforts to spread on a main cities/institutes around the globe. the name of this project - on my mind - is-- Global New Economy (as its content). at the past I've edited a low budget weekly magazine, so I have some experience how to run such low costs initiative - especialy in multi talented community as ours. I sure can prepar the very begining of a business model for this initiative, but I think this can be completed by team effort

Thanks Mati, that is an excellent suggestion and very much inline with DCEBrief's goals. Did you have a method of distribution in mind or through the site?

Because the new global economy (under construction) of digital currency is so fascinating but so low in information and clear path, i'm sure that DCEBrief will be accepted anywhere it will be shown. more than that, there in something I wanted to suggest few weeks ago, but maybe now it is a better opportunity regarding the course of Princeton: I suggest to wide the  DCEBrief into a global new newspaper (1st in digital version) which will focused on the new economy of digital currencies as its main purpose but will spread its reports to all other economy issues and social/political and their connection to the digital currency inovative economy arena. I saw we have here in our community powers of writing, editing, gathering, so these powers are making such move possible. I just throw this to the air

Everyday we are seeing more and more evidence that digital currency is here to stay and gaining legitimacy. Great find Chase. Alan is right, it will only be a matter of time.

Thanks Bergman, the community has contributed quite a bit to the project, we are all looking forward to the launch.

Excellent find, Chase. This is to be expected and it is an early indicator of a change of attitude among professional fund managers and personal wealth managers to consider Bitcoin, digital currency and Blockchain related FinTech favorably. We fully expect that DNotes will show up on their radar sooner or later. We have been going out of our way to ensure that DNotes is well positioned as their preferred candidate one day.

This has to be a first!


Canadian Pension Fund's Venture Arm Exploring Bitcoin Investments

The venture arm of a major Canadian pension fund is reportedly looking at making investments in bitcoin and blockchain startups.

The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, or OMERS, is one of Canada's largest municipal pension funds. The fund's venture arm, OMERS Ventures, recently disclosed in a recent interview with Canadian business publication TechVibes that it was exploring the use of proceeds from a recently closed $260m CAD fund to make investments in the bitcoin space.

The fund has also drawn support from the Bank of Montreal and Cisco Investments.

Managing director Jim Orlando said during the interview:

"Cybersecurity is another area we have been looking at, specifically in FinTech as Sid mentioned, and in particular what bitcoin and block chain capability bring in terms of differentiated opportunities. We hope to find a couple of investments for Fund II related to bitcoin and the block chain, and the security side of that whole paradigm."

OMERS Ventures indicated earlier this week on its website that it would place a heavy emphasis on financial tech companies, including those in the bitcoin space. An infographic published by the firm included a number of bitcoin startups based in Canada.

Wow the site has come a long way since the last time I checked it. Looks great and articles are very good.

I am looking forward to it. DCEBrief will help to bridge the information gap and make every attempt to correct misinformation so common in our industry. We will do it in the most responsible, objective and unbiased manner possible.

"We are now living in the digital age and almost anything that can be digitized will be digitized. Get use to the term digital asset which includes digital currency. We should learn to embrace it and objectively gain the knowledge not to fear it. When one begins to understand why digital currency and the Blockchain technology will be the greatest technology revolution since the internet, that fear will be replaced by a desire to learn more and put it to good use." Alan Yong, 8-28-2015

The article is great!  It is going to be very exciting to watch the unfolding impact DCEBrief has on the industry!

I have been extremely busy and do not have the time to post like I used to or wanted to now. What may be a good indicator of the promising future of DNotes is that I am getting an increasing number of emails from other players in our industry asking if there are common grounds for us to collaborate. I take that as as good sign and a compliment.

DCEBrief is scheduled for launch on Wednesday 2, 2015, though I have not even started the first draft of the press release yet.

I just received the following email regarding Quantum Computing, I believe is worth sharing.
# 6 Quantum cryptography will be very significant. The Future of Money that I just posted may be here sooner than I anticipated. But a trusted brand cannot be bought with super computing power. I hope my grandson will not disagree with me on that one day. Enjoy your reading.


Dear Alan

Quantum Computing Arrives Early? What Does The $50 Million Investment In Cambridge Quantum Computing Really Mean?

Grupo Arcano's Chilean founder -- Alberto Chang Rajii -- is extraordinary at spotting high-tech opportunities at an early stage. He is a visionary investor who saw the potential in Google, Uber and Snapchat long before the world did.

From our shared taxi ride to the airport in Hamburg -- after two days together at a global summit -- to the meeting in London at our sky-light base on level 43 in Canary Wharf to discuss Quantum Technologies 2.0 (QT2), all along it has been clear that Alberto C-R is looking to solve complex problems for humanity by investing in the future and we share a deep and mutual interest in intractable non-trivial problem solving via Quantum Computing (QC) and classical computing combined.

As a part-time world travelling inhabitant of Sir Richard Branson's Necker and Mosquito islands in the British Virgin Islands, Alberto C-R speaks often about his shared interest in Quantum Computing and QT2 applications such as advanced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence with Larry Page and Sergey Brin -- the founders of Google -- and Quantum Cryptography (Q-Crypto) & ultra secure payment multi-satellite networks with Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, Paypal & SpaceX. In this regard, it is no surprise to note the first round $50 million investment by Grupo Arcano in the start-up Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd (CQCL). The following and constellation of Grupo Arcano is such that more players will follow Alberto C-R.

Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd (CQCL) has developed a new OS designed to run the quantum computers that will shape our future. The new OS, which is called t|ket>, has been facilitated by CQCL's own proprietary custom designed high-speed super computer, which allows the company to accurately mimic how a quantum processor will work. The Cambridge firm believes that the software will aid the commercialisation of the emerging technology by facilitating users in controlling what operations a Quantum Computer can perform. As indeed discussed at length with Alberto C-R, we believe at Quantum Innovation Labs (http://QiLabs.net) that the following 10 interlocking areas are critical to Quantum Technologies 2.0 o r QT2 applications going forwards:
 
 
1. Q-bit mathematics
2. Q-bit algorithms & software models
3. Quantum clocks
4. Quantum sensors
5. Quantum precision Components
6. Quantum cryptography
7. Quantum telecommunications
8. Quantum computing and simulation
9. Quantum healthcare
10.Quantum energy devices

 

The CQCL investment falls under the aegis of points 1, 2, 6 and 8. Next-generation Quantum Computers can perform large-scale, simultaneous computation tasks, much like the human brain, and many believe they hold the key to managing the big data tasks of our future. Even though it can be extremely expensive, Quantum computing has been coming on leaps and bounds in the past 24 months, and the speed it completes certain complex tasks when compared to classical computers is one of the biggest advantages it brings. CQCL's earlier information release in April/May 2015 came in the same week that IBM brought us even closer to a working quantum computer by accomplishing simultaneous error detection of two quantum errors.

CQCL is at the forefront of developing an operating system that will allow users to harness the joint power of classical super computers alongside quantum computers. The development of t|ket> is a major milestone," according to a statement from the company. "Quantum computing will be a reality much earlier than originally anticipated. It will have profound and far-reaching effects on a vast number of aspects of our daily lives."

“Quantum Computing has developed rapidly in the past 24 months, and we intend to build on our existing position by accelerating the further development of t|ket> -- our operating system -- as well as enhancing our activity around platforms that can be used to create a quantum processor,” said a spokesperson from Cambridge Quantum Computing Limited.

Alongside the Quantum OS, CQCL has also unveiled a design that makes its quantum computer highly scalable thus bringing it closer to becoming a realistic proposition. The company, mainly made up of mathematicians from the University of Cambridge, is focusing on developing algorithms for applications to drive these machines.

"We are excited and very pleased to become investors into Cambridge Quantum Computing," Grupo Arcano stated. "In agreeing to invest up to $50m in the course of the next two to three years, we will be supporting cutting edge development in a sector that has the potential for real global impact."

Governments, technology companies and research organisations are currently developing Quantum Technologies 2.0 (QT2) in the belief that it could provide key components for the future of computing, capable of satisfying the world's ever-growing technological needs particularly in regard to big data manipulation. The CIA, NSA, NASA, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Alibaba have all set up labs to explore the nascent technology, while earlier this year the UK government outlined a GBP 270m strategy into quantum technology growth through the UK National Quantum Technology programme.

Very cool. 2FA on your card could prevent a good amount of fraud. Having an actual digital currency device, coupled with biometrics would be make it near impossible for fraud.

Did you guys see this?
http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/08/28/coinbase-allows-buyers-to-use-3d-secure-cards-to-buy-bitcoin/


Virtual currency company Coinbase has announced that to buy Bitcoin, now users can use 3D Secure enabled credit and debit cards. This facility can be availed, at present, by its Spanish and British consumers.

The 3D Secure feature works by enabling the two-factor authentication that will be used for making purchases with credit and debit cards.

In its announcement, the company has also given out directions, by following which, a consumer can procure Bitcoin easily. The directions read: “To get started, sign in and visit the payments method page. Click “Add Credit / Debit Card” to add your card. Once you have added an eligible card, you will be able to select this payment method from the buy page to instantly purchase Bitcoin in GBP or EUR. Since credit and debit cards will not require a customer to pre-fund their Coinbase account with a bank transfer, customers in the UK and Spain can now receive Bitcoin instantly.”



Looks interesting.

It is only a matter of time before they realize the following to be true
"For China to be at the forefront of international finance and academia, bitcoin technology must be supported with rational policies and become a high priority for research and development."
I can foresee no other option.

As much as 70% of volume of Bitcoin and Altcoin  trades are handled by the various exchanges in China. Yet China does not permit the use of Bitcoin and other digital currency as a medium of exchange. Interesting.  What if the Chinese government change the rules one day and treat it like money. It will be even more interesting.

Bitcoin in China: An Insider’s View
Leon Li | Published on August 22, 2015 at 15:00 BST

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-in-china-an-insiders-view/
Direction of development

....................."The PBOC's official notice, which is the only official policy document related to bitcoin, was issued more than a year and a half ago.

Since that time, the bitcoin industry development trends have become more clear and government policies around the world have begun to take shape. Based on our experience and analysis, we have several proposals for bitcoin policy in China.

There are four possible directions for bitcoin development, and these are not mutually exclusive:

1. Bitcoin as a global financial asset
This is the most significant function of bitcoin today.

2. Bitcoin as a financial tool for improving money transfer
Currently, the global clearing and settlement system is very inefficient; long settlement times, high cost from fees and exchange rates, and high complexity.
Bitcoin can solve these problems, especially in the field of international remittances, where there are already several bitcoin companies challenging older, larger competitors.

3. Bitcoin as a payment network
Bitcoin already works as a payment network today, but relative to competitors like PayPal and Visa, bitcoin is very small.

It is unclear whether bitcoin will ever become the world's leading payment system because of technical uncertainty about bitcoin's scalability.

There is also the possibility that existing payment companies (if they innovate) and bitcoin off-chain wallet companies like Circle and Coinbase may maintain the vast majority of global payments.
4. Bitcoin as a non-financial tool

Bitcoin may develop beyond basic financial functions to encompass things like decentralized autonomous organizations, smart contracts, prediction markets, internet of things and so on.
China bitcoin policy recommendations

1. Distinguish between bitcoin and blockchain technology
The former is a kind of financial asset and tool, while the latter is a new information technology that can be widely applied in many fields.

Legislation in the financial sector should be limited in purpose to preventing systemic risks to the financial system and preventing financial crimes. Regulations must not be too strict, or else the global competitiveness of Chinese enterprises will be inhibited.
2. Regulate within the existing laws

Legislation should regulate bitcoin within the existing, mature financial regulatory system. Secure storage and transmission of digital assets are the core areas of consideration.
3. Observe the actions of other law makers

Observe and analyze the effects of US policy toward bitcoin before making any decisive policies in China. There is no urgency to establish a detailed bitcoin regulatory policy now, so waiting and learning from the US is a low risk strategy which will help form a better policy.
4. Support research and innovation

Academic research and innovation of bitcoin technology should be given official encouragement and support. This technology has great potential for the future. MIT, IBM, NYSE, Citigroup and many other leading finance and technology institutions have already made considerable investments and achieved initial results.

For China to be at the forefront of international finance and academia, bitcoin technology must be supported with rational policies and become a high priority for research and development."

Thank you, infovortice2013. Good to see you. We are very excited to launch DCEBrief next week. This will be an amazing platform to reach many more people we otherwise cannot reach. It will also bring about objective and educational information concerning our industry. I noticed that the price of DNotes is going back up a little. It is still significantly undervalued, so I just bought some more today.

Thanks infovortice, won't be long now.

Yeah Good change


Yeah i buy all that i can a lowest prices, go out btc doing it XD, other thing is the total hash in Dnotes mining go double week ago more or less, and sometimes hash grow next 10 ghash ,,, ITS REAL BIG RISING securing DNotes transactions.

Cant wait to see open masses DCEBrief real quality web i think is ready to launch. GOOD WORK.
