Stanford Joins NYU and Duke in Offering Bitcoin Course
Stanford is joining NYU and Duke University in offering a course on bitcoin – kicking off with a free security webinar tomorrow.
The college's new course, Crypto Currencies: Bitcoin and Friends, launches on 21st September. Besides Stanford students, it will be open to professionals completing their graduate certificate in cyber security.
Computer Science professor Dan Boneh, an expert in applied cryptography, will lead the course – which tackles security across the entire bitcoin ecosystem. In a release he said:
"The technology behind bitcoin and other crypto currencies can be an indispensable tool for protecting information."
While the introductory webinar is free, tuition for the remainder of the sessions clocks in at $3,960 (a $600 discount for attendees from one of Stanford's member organisations). To complete the certificate, which requires four modules in total, will cost between $13,440 and $18,480.
Founded in 1885, Stanford frequently ranks in the top five universities in the US, only 5.7% applicants who apply are accepted. While not the first, it is the most prestigious school to offer bitcoin tuition.

We have made an official submission to PayServices as shown below:
This is a very large scale project that will take some time to implement and be in full regulatory compliances. PayServices will be one of our important strategic partners. I will personally play an active role to assist them in any ways I can. We are looking to a great relationship with Pay Services.

Description:
Like fiat currency, there will be hundreds of digital currencies serving many different constituents. Complimented with reasonable regulatory guidance to ensure consumer protection and a truly global MultiExchange Operating System like PayServices, where any asset of value can be traded and exchanged; collectively, digital currency will be the future of money.
DNotes' Co-Founder Alan Yong, a visionary and a passionate leader of our industry firmly believes that equally important is a trusted global decentralized digital currency that will become an excellent medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value conveniently available for everyone worldwide. We are also grounded on the philosophy that while DNotes is managed as a business, it is not controlled as a business. As a currency, DNotes must remain truly decentralized.
Uniquely different is DNotes’ belief that, to be the global digital currency leader, there must be a community or entity that has sufficient self-interest to promote and protect the currency, preserving a high level of confidence and trust in the currency while providing fundamental value to support the increasing value of the currency. This demanding mission began with the founding of the currency on February 18, 2014 and a commitment to build and fund the most critical segments of our own ecosystem.
To ensure that the expected increasing currency value is supported by fundamental value, there are plans to incorporate a profit bearing company in which DNotes, the currency, will own up to 25% through a professionally managed fund designed to create stability and growth over the long term. All DNotes properties will be rolled over into the company, including DNotesVault, CryptoMoms, CRISP Savings Programs, and DCEBrief.
This is a very large scale project that will take some time to implement and be in full regulatory compliances. PayServices will be one of our important strategic partners. I will personally play an active role to assist them in any ways I can. We are looking to a great relationship with Pay Services.

Very well said, it's safe to say that there are very few (if any) people in our industry with your business sense and networking ability. DNotes holders are very lucky to have you putting in all this hard work for us!
Thank you, CryptoBrooker. I have made this my personal mission as well. I truly believe that the time is right to have an alternative to fiat currency to supplement it to the extent that the people of the world have a choice and an insurance to protect the little they can save. As a trusted global digital currency for everyone worldwide to participate, DNotes can also bring significant productivity gain across the board helping many to improve their standard of living. It will also be the best vehicle for international charity organizations and wealthy individuals to participate in our efforts to improve economic inequality around the world. Nothing of such scale and scope will be easy or quick. We are absolutely on the right track gaining awareness and respect every step of our moves.

DNotes Price Update:
I am sure there is significant concern on the continued dumping of DNotes at Poloniex. This has been going on over for over a month now. I know that quite a number of our supporters have been acquiring fairly large quantities, including myself, to help support the market. Not being able to pinpoint where the additional DNotes have been coming from, it is probable best to wait it out and let the free market forces take its course. It is unfortunate but that is the nature of our industry.

I can't say I was altogether surprised to read this in an article today:
"For it to replace current payment systems, Bitcoin had to be marketed as having distinct advantages over using credit cards or services like PayPal. The difficulty with this is that the advantages are subjective and merchants, and the public as a whole, has had a hard time in seeing them. The advantages of Bitcoin have certainly not been enough to warrant using it in preference to credit cards."
Source: http://theconversation.com/what-is-bitcoin-it-is-not-that-complicated-if-you-ignore-the-geek-speak-46512
I don't find the advantages subjective at all, but there is some truth to the statement, as they haven't been communicated well. There is probably too many advantages to list. Sounds the start of a good DCEBrief featured article right? What do you think are the advantages that would have the most impact on the general public and/or merchants?

We could try a slightly different approach and make an ethical argument for using it.
By using a global currency, you are helping others around the world who don't have the good fortune of living in a country where the currency is dependable. A global currency will allow 2 billion(?) people who don't have banking access to finally participate in economic growth and prosperity. The currency will have the same value everywhere in the world and will not be subject to government corruption. Everyone will have equal access to a stable currency and wealth creation. etc, etc...
Those are great points. I will attempt to incorporate them in a number of articles I will be writing for DCEBrief. I am focusing on a very specific theme for each article write targeting the the laypersons.

Quotes
This is the article on Melanie Shapiro that provided the quotes: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/billrobinson/having-my-mind-changed-on_b_7613676.html
If you want to pare down the number of her quotes, here's a couple that could possibly go.
This one sounds similar to the bad news Silk Road quote of hers, except I like that one better because of her comment on anonymity:
"While we can attribute a lot of our early attention to stories of bitcoin scandal, Mt Gox, and high-profile arrests, the stories being told now are of how the technology could have the potential to bring efficiency to the financial industry."
Melanie Shapiro – Founder/CEO of CaseWallet
I don't think this quote is strong enough compared to the others we have:
"It does worry me that bitcoin won't succeed, that something will stand in our way and we'll never see it live up to it's promise and this is sad because there are a lot of people who really need this to work."
Melanie Shapiro – Founder/CEO of CaseWallet
Thanks Chase, those are good picks to pull out. I'm going to have to pull the super long one from Reid Hoffman as well.
This one below may be a good removal candidate as well.
Bitcoin may be the TCP/IP of money
Paul Buchheit - Creator of Google’s Gmail Service
Got all of those removed, did a few back end changes along with some recommendations via email. So we should be ready from my end for soft launch once we get a few more articles listed.
I will try to get the site listed as a news site on google/yahoo etc... We will have a press release I'm sure. Created a facebook and twitter page. Have any other ideas for promoting the site upon soft launch?
Excellent. I hope to have an article title: "Digital Currency - The Future Of Money" done by early tomorrow.
We will have a major press release at launch and a massive tweeter campaign. Additionally, I will reach out to my almost 3,000 LinkedIn connections.

If you want to pare down the number of her quotes, here's a couple that could possibly go.
This one sounds similar to the bad news Silk Road quote of hers, except I like that one better because of her comment on anonymity:
"While we can attribute a lot of our early attention to stories of bitcoin scandal, Mt Gox, and high-profile arrests, the stories being told now are of how the technology could have the potential to bring efficiency to the financial industry."
Melanie Shapiro – Founder/CEO of CaseWallet
I don't think this quote is strong enough compared to the others we have:
"It does worry me that bitcoin won't succeed, that something will stand in our way and we'll never see it live up to it's promise and this is sad because there are a lot of people who really need this to work."

Quote from: Minty on August 22, 2015, 07:38:40 PM
CANADA - Computers For Schools
The government of Canada has a donation program where you can also get a tax receipt if it's the right kind of computer equipment. It looks like there are donation dropoffs all over the country. Pretty cool!

Quote From Shepherd Today:
Thank you, Minty. I just visited their site. They have a great program going and their minimum requirements for acceptable computers are higher than I would have expected, meaning that they are good powerful computers even by today's standard.
I am sure that there are already programs of that nature collecting smart phones today. In a few years, I can see CryptoMoms leading the charge to contact telephone carriers like AT&T, Verizon and others on low cost airtime supported with donations from charity organizations and individual donors. Those smart phones can then be used to support some of the 2.5 million "unbanked" so that they can immediately become their own bankers using DNotes with internet connection. Here is another reason why DNotes is characterized as "the currency with a mission."
