DNotes Bitcoin App – Cryptocurrency Guide

DNotes has launched its new mobile application that offers educational resources and instructions related to digital currency.

Bitcoin, when first introduced, it was termed as the currency of the future. Six years down the line, the digital currency is gradually being adopted worldwide which makes us believe that the future is almost upon us. However, there are few things that are hindering extensive adoption of bitcoin throughout. Lack of education about bitcoin and other digital currencies tops that list of challenges.

Not everyone knows about digital currencies. While some people have no idea what bitcoin is, there are others who are full of misinformation which was fed to them by the mainstream media. Mainstream media nowadays so used to selective coverage that people only get to hear about the negative aspects of bitcoin or events were bitcoin and other digital currencies were misused. In order to overcome these issues, it is very important to educate everyone about digital currencies, how it works, advantages and disadvantages as well.

The best way to offer access these educational content is through mobile phones. After all, the days of feature phones is gone and everyone now uses a smartphone, which they always carry on them and use them to consume loads of information every minute. These days, we have many educational application available on Google and iOS app stores. There are specific mobile applications for learning different programming languages, similarly Coursera and other teaching platforms also create and publish different applications for different courses.

It is high time we had few really good applications that provide educational resources related to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. One such app was recently launched by DNotes. DNotes Educational Guide is currently available on Google Play store for Android mobile devices. The application is created by DNotes, which is a new decentralized cryptocurrency. Even though it has many links related to DNotes, the main essence of this application is cryptocurrency in general. The application tries to address the misconceptions related to digital currencies by offering some trivia about cryptocurrencies while comparing it with fiat currency and events related to conventional assets.

The DNotes Educational Guide also provides detailed instructions for using DNotes vault and mining.

Cryptsy votes up to 34355 at the time of this post, DNotes remains in position #2 with the top position at 42545. As Alan mentioned we may not need to compete with the top position, but it could only help our case if we make it to #1.

Also, as a reminder, tomorrow is the deadline for New York's bitlicense. For New York residents, be sure to check your exchange's balance and if they are licensed. Poloniex will no longer be serving New York residents.

On a normal day I received 50 DNotes related emails from around the world. With few exceptions, I response to every single one; most of them are just copy and paste, of course, but some are more personalized. I do not like auto response. Reading every single email is demanding but it gives me a very good feel of how DNotes and our related projects are being received.

Perhaps over 10% of my replies are individually responded to, including some from high level executives and others that relate to our long term plan.  The following email is an example of that and worth sharing: For privacy the name has been changed.

**************************************************

Hello Alan,

I hope you are trying to enjoy your summer and keeping cool. I just downloaded your Dnotes Education guide real great and user friendly. One thing that sparked my attention is the retirement plan that you added. Could the same concept of Insurance be added to it?

I mean it is a thought considering Fintech insurance is trying to get out.

Let me know what you think.


Jane

*******************

Hello Jane,

Very good to hear from you. I am doing well and have always enjoyed the summer since I love gardening. Hope you are doing well too.

DNotes is much more than another digital currency. We are always very proactive in identifying industry problems and challenges and provide solutions where we can. Educating consumers globally is one of them; hence the DNotes Educational Guide you just downloaded. We will be launching DCEbrief later this month. There is a serious knowledge vacuum in our industry, even among high level executives who are currently participants in our industry. DCEBrief focuses on providing "Executive Summary" on issues that matter, with full length articles. All indications are that it will be very well received.

I am glad that you had a chance to visit DNotesVault and took notice of CRISP For Retirement. All of our CRISP programs are still in pilot phase positioned for full scale roll-out at the most opportune time. The biggest holdback is regulatory constraint which otherwise would allow anyone worldwide to acquire DNotes with their local currency and instantly send the DNotes to their CRISP account at DNotesVault. However, I am confident that such convenience will become a reality in a number of countries in the near future. Imagine shopping in Spain at a "participating" convenient store and be able to tell the checkout person, " Make it $100 euros and send the change to my DNotes savings" One tap on your smart phone to bring up a selection of DNotes addresses and tap on the one you wanted the change to be sent to. Done.

"One thing that sparked my attention is the retirement plan that you added. Could the same concept of Insurance be added to it?"

And finally to answer your question. The answer is 'yes' if you can wait. Within 3 to 5 years DNotes ecosystem will include a registered and licensed exchange, banks, partner banks among others offering a full suite of financial services. Pilot on CRISP for Insurance could start as early as next year. Initial test will offer a whole life policy with a "Term Rider" and a universal life policy with different flavors.

In the mean time, CRISP For Employee Incentive Benefits is actually designed to engage Insurance Agencies and Insurance Sales Persons early so that they get to know DNotes and become DNotes stakeholders. For those who are not familiar with insurance sales, it is helpful to know that this industry spends billions on cash incentive often payout daily or weekly to reward producers who are typically dependent on 100% commission.

I hope this answered your question.

All my best to you,

Alan



It is so cool that she found out about the CRISP for Retirement from the DNotes Educational Guide and had the insight to see how the CRISP could be applied in other circumstances.  We talked about how DNotes would make a great alternative to health care insurance, long term care insurance, etc a while ago.  Using it within managed insurance products in a few years will be a gamechanger for the insurance industry!  Very exciting!!

Thank you. I understand why I didn't find it on search: because the name DNOTES isn't  seperated from the adjective COIN. maybe it would be better to seperate them


Question: Why DNOTES doesn't have page on Facebook?   I think this is needed for reaching many people which wouldn't be interested in DC unless if DC come to their arena



DNOTES   14AGjtup6T6k4kB1bmbMUVmePNUXEYuqmQ   36531   

Still making progress on Cryptsy votes and gaining on the #1 position. Keep it up guys! Don't forget to send in your request to add DNotes if you haven't done so in the last month.

Hi Mati,

     I want to publicly acknowledge Brandon (Cryptobroker) and Wiser for this press release. They pretty much accomplished this single-handedly. Brandon has been working like a dog, mostly for his charity, NOT for himself. Typical DNotes way of thinking, and I LOVE IT! There are causes greater than one's self. My advice to everyone else: Find a cause, and GO FOR IT! I also want to thank Blake, our press release guy. He is dong a FANTASTIC job. Alan, Joe and I talk about him frequently, and think very highly of him. He is in "our corner", and has went the "extra mile" for us time and time again.

     I am SO proud of all the DNotes team, from Alan and Joe, right down to folks who are DNotes disciples, but mebbe post infrequently (the silient majority, in my opinion).

.....walking with a little more "spring in my step this morning,
Smokey  

Thanks Smokey, if it weren't for DNotes I may have never got the opportunity to help so many people who are very important to me. I also encourage anyone who is truly passionate about a cause to pursue it now. Your cause can grow with DNotes, giving you added ability to provide unique solutions for existing problems.

I really appreciate the press release by Blake, making a very generous contribution to help us attain our goals. Since the press release by Bitcoin PR Buzz, our total downloads have nearly doubled!


Bitcoin and Digital Currency like DNotes can be intimidating and even scary to anyone who has not heard much about it. Yet it is not because there is not enough published inform available but “an overwhelming of fragmented information” everywhere including a great amount of inaccurate reporting and aggressive headlines.

Knowledge vacuum is another challenge our industry has to overcome if mass acceptance of digital currency were to be expected any time soon. DNotes is committed to help overcome this hurdle. In addition to Digital Currency Educational Guide we will soon be launching DCEBrief for busy political leaders, regulators, media executives, educators, business executives and others by focusing on issues that matter with “Executive Summary” supported by full length articles.


It's clear that DNotes has taken the forefront on educating the masses. If Bitcoin had made education a priority in their second year, maybe they could have dispelled some of the unwarranted criticism earlier on, and we would be seeing a more widely embraced currency today.

Great press release, CryptoBroker79.  “There is an overwhelming amount of fragmented knowledge out there, and we wanted to make this simple enough that people from all walks of life and from anywhere in the world, can learn about it at their own pace.”

Saturday Morning Food for Thought

'Total Data Security Approach'

Talked to a cryptography enthusiast the other day about 'ordinary cryptography' -- normal Internet security, etc., not including crypto currencies.

Been thinking for ages that we could be taking an approach whereby we assume that the use of one or more cryptos is integral to the general security of ordinary people. Think about it, having anti-virus on your computer, for example, is an 'overlap point.' You gotta have it for general security; ya gotta have it as part of the security of your crypto wallets.

Saleable product!

Mark, I like that "Total Data Security Approach", but don't expect that any time soon. Just doing something about it is not good enough. We want to be very systematic and strategic about it. Within a couple of years, DNotes will have the advantage of scale and coverage. There is also a great advantage to own the most important parts of our ecosystem. I can see how the whole thing can be incorporated as a total package. Thanks for sharing another great idea.

Essentially making digital currency no different than any other money.

Australian inquiry says digital currencies are real money

An Australian government inquiry will recommend treating digital currencies as money, simplifying tax for people who trade with them while forcing bitcoin exchanges to monitor customers for potential money laundering and terrorism financing activities.

The Senate committee recommendations, included in a report to be tabled in parliament next week and obtained in advance by Reuters, underscore governments' growing acceptance of the role of so-called "cryptocurrencies" around the world.

If implemented, the changes would align Australia with the United Kingdom and Spain by having people pay sales tax just once if they buy something with bitcoin, while leaving other nations like Sweden to fret over its true legal status.

Mati said, "Inspiring. the way that you and the team of DNOTES find and show the path inspires me. I love systematic way of thinking, which is described very well by the individuals in this team."

I have been involved in fairly large projects before but nothing like what we are doing at DNotes and the building of our own ecosystem. Nothing that I have ever done could come close to the scope and potential of what DNotes could be in terms of long-term growth based on the path that we have crafted. Yet, that is not what inspired me and our communities. It is the challenge of doing the right things with trust and integrity, and if successfully delivered, could positively impact so many global challenges confronting the human race today.

Though it is easy and convenient to point out specific problems and link them to our world leaders, down to local leadership, a more objective conclusion could be the recognition that they are the result of accumulative temptation to over promise and over spend over multiple terms. This has led many nations to spend way beyond their means resulting in penalizing the working class who worked hard in good faith yet ended up losing all or most of their live savings. We are committed and passionate in building DNotes, not as a replacement of fiat currency, but as an alternative store of value to supplement their life savings. I personally believe that it is a prudent choice after seeing great financial hardship around the world today.

I am currently focusing my attention on DCEBrief and may not have as much time to post over the next few days. Thank you all for your great efforts in getting out the votes to get DNotes listed on Cryptsy. Keep the votes coming and don't forget to join the write-in campaign.
