Topic: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - Celebrating DNotes 3rd Birthday - Forum Now Open - page 198. (Read 814541 times)

In my humble mining opinion, I don't think it will be of interest to most of the target audience and it will negate the objective of filtering out unnecessary information for them.  Just my 2 DNotes worth...   

Hey, Nele. I am delighted to hear from you. I am sure the rest of our community are too. Very smart to hang on to those DNotes. We are just getting started and have a long way to go. I was at a meeting last night with about 40 Bitcoin supporters from the Chicago area. I have met some of them once or twice before. It was very rewarding to me to sense an increasing level of respect and appreciation for what DNotes has been doing.

One young man had a laptop with him. He is not a DNotes supporter yet but have heard of us. He pulled the DNotes long term chart as I continued to explain that DNotes is more than just a digital currency. We have been developing our own ecosystem, including our large family of CRISPs. As he examined the chart, I heard him said, "Wow, that is amazing. It has always been trending up with higher highs and higher lows". Everyone else nodded in agreement. With due respect, I must add that some of these people are hardcore Bitcoin supporters who don't care to know much more beyond Bitcoin and Litecoin. The potential of the industry is huge. We believe in doing our part to make it a better industry for everyone. We like to objectively identify industry challenges and help provide provide viable solutions one at a time. That is how DNotes will become the trusted global digital currency for everyone.

Thanks for your support, Nele. We wish you and your family our very best regards.

Thanks Nele, glad to see you again and good to hear you are still following the thread!

Looks great guys, love the design and new content updates. It is truly becoming an all in one tool to get started.

Thanks infovortice!

How does everyone feel about adding a mining category? Will it help draw in more traffic or will it negate from the primary objective?

Hey,Hey!

trying to catch you,still holding and never gonna sell my Dnotes.They are all in vault on my and my friends kids acounts

Saw Silicon Dragon on youtube,Mr.Alan is my favorite guy from cryptoscene.Full respect!

Best regards

DNotes’ entire Bitcointalk forum can be condensed to be the greatest case study for MBA and Behavioral Science classes. I certainly hope that one day someone will do just that.

Most people are not skilled communicators or good listeners. They are also insensitive to the listener’s view point. A lot of people have the bad habit of falling into the trap of continuously talking without listening.

The article is correct in that it is easier to get people to listen to you in conversation they share the same view. Sharing that common view immediately creates common ground and common bond. That is hugely important if you want to make a sale.

In most cases, it is not that hard to find common ground. You can talk about many other subjects outside of what you are promoting. In the case of Bitcoin or digital currency, it is significantly more challenging because of many negative headlines that have already created false misconceptions.

The most effective ways that I found and used successfully is to ask questions and listen, in order to establish the listener’s point of view: “Have you heard of Bitcoin?  What do you think?”  Knowing where the other party is coming from is extremely important in effective communication.  

-Mobile App to receive new stories on your phone / Newsletter for new stories posted.  Is the Newsletter different from the new stories you would receive on your phone?  It all sounds good.

-Social media integration to make it easy to like/share.  - definitely!

-A regulation map, showing current rules and regulations for each state - That is a great idea.  I know it would be almost impossible to keep up with all the regulations around the world, but should the best and most industry positive regulations of any country (there is probably only a few that are noteworthy) be highlighted?

-Do we want a category specifically for bitcoin?
   My thoughts: Having a category specifically for bitcoin may add a sense of legitimacy to the site, as we have a category specifically for DNotes. - I agree and there is also the fact that bitcoin is the only digital currency many have heard of.  They may have a wake up moment of "What??  I can buy more than bitcoin!!" (hint -  DNotes )

-Do we add a legal category or change regulation to Legal? -  "Regulation" is the term on everyone's radar right now, so I wouldn't replace it.  Is there a difference in what would be categorized as regulation and what would fall under legal?

-Do we want a price feed?  The site is beautiful right now and you're right we don't want it cluttered, but I think everyone will expect some kind of price feed.  Otherwise they will have to check somewhere else for it.  I think it would give the site more credibility if there was 2 or 3 other coins besides DNotes and bitcoin.  Since DCEB's audience is executives, politicans, and possibly other regulatory bodies, I would suggest no anonymous coins.

Mini-graph like coindesk?  - I like this gragh, I'm just not sure about it being only 24 hours??  I guess for traders, 24 hours is the one to watch.

xx day average vs current price? Or can you think of a more meaningful expression?  -  Moving averages used in Forex are 5, 20, 50, 100 , and 200 days.  If we used for example, "100 day moving average price" (or just "100 day average price") vs current price it would show a little more than the daily volatility and it sounds familiar to most in the business world.


-Reward/award structure for authors and journalists to submit content

- You had mentioned a reward given for all submitted stories as long as they met the criteria.  I agree and perhaps a higher reward if it is published (or is that where the tips come in)?

- Giving out monthly awards for "story of the month" may be a bit too much, but one year is a long time to wait for recognition.  What if we had a Journalists or Press Page that included the following: submit news & tips section, rules, categories, etc.  If possible, it would be pretty cool to have a list of the stories that could be filtered / sorted by story, author, date, category, and likes or upvotes.  That could lead to top 10 lists of favorite stories, most articles published by a particular author, etc.  This page could also include the eventual "Hall of Fame" ( we have to find a new term!!).  

The Digital Currency Executive Award of Excellence in Journalism (or DCEB Award of Excellence in Journalism) could be limited a yearly award in each category (?) as well as one overall 'Story of the Year'.

I came across a very interesting article this morning, while doing research on "why people want to hear what they already believe". This information may prove to be of tremendous value when trying to draw new people into the industry, and to DNotes in particular.

Why we only listen to what we want to hear
http://www.management-issues.com/news/5652/why-we-only-listen-to-what-we-want-to-hear/

People tend to avoid information that contradicts what they already think or believe.

At the same time there can be certain factors that can cause people to seek out, or at least consider, other points of view, it suggested.

The research found that people were in general twice as likely to select information that supported their own point of view as to consider an opposing idea, with two thirds going for supportive views as opposed to a third going the other way.

People were more likely to expose themselves to opposing ideas when they were useful to them in some way.

Getting your management message across is not impossible then but, if it is going against the tide, it's important to recognise it may need to be said more than once. "But it's good news that one out of three times, or close to that, they are willing to seek out the other side," added Albarracín.

Community Questions:
-Do we want a category specifically for bitcoin?
   My thoughts: Having a category specifically for bitcoin may add a sense of legitimacy to the site, as we have a category specifically for DNotes.
-Do we add a legal category or change regulation to Legal?
   My thoughts: Legal may give us a little more flexibility in the type of articel listed in this category. I'm just not sure if that is what we want.
-Do we want a price feed?
   My thoughts are yes, the only reason I can think of that we wouldn't is to prevent clutter.
   Which coins should we do?
   Bitcoin and DNotes only or expand?
   Mini-graph like coindesk?
   xx day average vs current price? Or can you think of a more meaningful expression?

Other ideas:
-Reward/award structure for authors and journalists to submit content (Chase is working on an idea)

That was a four hour meeting and we went over a little. It was a good opportunity for me to catch up with a few people I met before as well as some new friends. Great meeting. Over 40 people showed up.

Just curious as to how the meeting went. Thanks.

Thanks RJF! Glad you like it.

I will be gone the rest of the day to attend a Bitcoin/Blockchain meeting in Chicago. I will check in tomorrow morning.

Outstanding!!  Very nice contemporary design, professional and easy to read and navigate. Love the layout! Good color choices..  NICE work!

Oops! Should have read:

"Bitcoin is the present, DNotes is the future, join us in the new world..."

CRISP For Students to be the 1st video is the right order. I like the interview format. Dressing up as typical students sounds good. Follow the key points of our press release, not necessary in the same order. I would go for the 3+ verses 3- minutes.

The general theme of our PR campaign is going to be shifting from an awareness campaign to education and with a focus on persuasive and compelling statements why is matters. Our first campaign target will be students and educators. Others to follow will be small business owners and their employees, Professional women and small business women and others. All these will be done with multiple press releases in conjunction with the launching of DCEBrief.

Thanks TeeGee! I'm pretty excited to see how they turn out.

I don't have a strong opinion on the feel and dress, but I would recommend whatever you feel is best.
I like the idea of having a friend interview you.
As far as any recommendations for shots, for the student videos, it sounds like you have it nailed. Student activities, making purchases, etc.
