Topic: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - Celebrating DNotes 3rd Birthday - Forum Now Open - page 207. (Read 814541 times)

My picks are 1, 3, 16, and 18.

I like 3, 20, 23. Wondering if tag line needs to be in italics? Maybe it does, but might be worth experimenting.

1, 3 and 23

By the way, if anyone is interested in creating a logo for DCEBrief, we are willing to provide a bounty.

My choices:
1st - 19
2nd - 3
3rd - 6

These are great. A suggestion would be to have a 'Benefits' section or 'How does this benefit me?' section. Most people like to know how it will directly benefit them.

Welcome back! Glad to see you back on the forum.

Hello everyone, mafort1469 here. My old account is no longer valid. Thank you.

Starting on the new site logo. This is the first step in my process, narrowing down a font, and I would like everyone's opinion on which ones you feel are best suited for the site.

The logo for the new site should be simple, professional, with finance and/or technology elements.

TeeGee, that is an excellent start. When is the video recording? As it turned out, it has been an extremely busy day for me today. I am only posting some general comments tonight.

3 to 4 interviews of 3 minutes each will be great.

My Talking Points could be modified to be questions and answers. It could be one of the four videos. It is good to know the shortfalls of Bitcoin and why mass acceptance of Bitcoin is unlikely

How is DNotes different?
I can help here.

CRISP for Students
What you listed is very good.

A few industry problems that DNotes has addressed (whether intentionally or unintentionally):

- Lack of trust and integrity

- Lack of leadership both within the industry and at the currency level

- Lack of real world experience - I think this has been the downfall of many currencies

That would be great, thank you!

Dear Colleagues:

It had to happen.  Sooner or later some brave member of the Eurozone would find the courage to speak up about the almost unbearable burden the club’s supranational, undifferentiated economic policy rules place on an individual country’s officials to make tough national-level decisions---and right when they are most needed.

Finally fed up with being tied to the policy ball and chain that applies to all Eurozone members, it is no surprise that the Greek leadership called for a national referendum on July 5th to ask the country's citizens if they wish to continue down the austerity road--in effect if they wanted to stay in the Eurozone. That earlier this week Greece's economic policy-makers formally allowed themselves to fall into arrears with the International Monetary Fund is also not surprising.

In my latest Forbes column-- “Where's The Courage In The Greek Tragedy?"-- (http://www.forbes.com/sites/harrybroadman/2015/06/30/wheres-the-courage-in-the-greek-tragedy), I argue that the Eurozone has been, from its very start in 2002, a fundamentally flawed regime, and what has been happening to Greece (as well as to some other Eurozone countries) is actually a logical outcome.  However, Greece—both its current leaders and those who held the reins over past decade and a half--is not blameless for the current situation. 

Regardless of whether or not Greece abandons the Euro, the column details some key actions that are called for if the Eurozone is to have any chance of remaining intact in anything like its current form.

As always, comments on this or on any of the other Forbes columns are most appreciated.

Best,

Thank you TeeGee, these videos will become an invaluable tool for DNotes.

A note for the "What is Digital Currency, and what is DNotes?" section. Digital Currency is currently in it's infancy, but has the potential to become a globally accepted payment solution, and everyone has the opportunity to get involved early quite easily.

Privacy is an important issue and worth a mention in a factual way, it is important for people to know and understand. Jon Matonis said it quite eloquently “Accounts at a money service business or financial institution can certainly be linked to identity, but the individual coins (or coin subunits) themselves cannot be.”

Melanie Shapiro "There's a lot of misconception about what bitcoin actually is due to media narratives. The most popular reference I hear mentioned is Silk Road, but Silk Road wasn't enabled by bitcoin. People forget or don't realize that Silk Road was enabled by Tor, an 'anonymizing' proxy network. Bitcoin isn't actually an anonymous currency it's pseudo-anonymous. Want to know what's anonymous? Cash."

Everything is private, to the public, but everything leaves a trail. Not suitable for money laundering and criminal activity, although there is a misconception that it is.

I will post if I have more.

Thank you, TeeGee. That is an excellent first draft. I am working on a number of projects at this time. However, I will send you my comments by this time tomorrow.

Alright, so I'm planning on doing a few videos, I have planned to do several of them that are ~3 minutes in length. I've finally found somebody who has the appropriate equipment (a student at my university that I haven't met yet). Suffice to say, I'm looking for community involvement in the best DNotes topics to cover, comments on style of video (interview + randomly inserted shots of activities, people buying things with credit cards, shots of night markets / my city / my uni or what not to add interest), and the main points raised in each video for each topic.

Currently my preference is to film 3-4 interviews in the one day with more to come at a later date after reviews from the community on the first batch. The videos will be made with a focus for a US audience, and thankfully, I'm told my accent is not a identifiably kiwi one, I'm sometimes asked if I'm foreign, despite... only spending 1 week outside of New Zealand my whole life!!! That said, I won't try to emulate a US one.

To be the most help, people here could please add both questions that should be answered, but ALSO the topics that should be mentioned briefly in the answer.

What is Digital Currency, and what is DNotes? (can combine topics, or do separate videos)
What is Digital Currency? (describe Bitcoins rise etc)
What opportunities does Digital Currency provide? - Technology, instant payments at near no cost, be your own bank etc.. (makes a case to include DNotes in the same video)
Nobody controls the money supply - No political constraint on currency's success - not subject to regional economic turmoil - ie. Greece.
Privacy? - Mention? Touchy subject to some?

How is DNotes different?
Focus on reliable appreciation, stable long-term appreciation
Aims to simplify the current technical nature of Digital Currency
Cryptomoms.com - Female participation (under-represented), first of its kind...
DNotesVault - Guaranteed vault deposits, first of its kind, send crypto to e-mails...
CRISP programs - Employees, Retirement, Students...
Who founded DNotes - Business experience, Alan Yong (tech pioneer, Dauphin?, Smokey's Gardens)...


CRISP for Students
What is it and what is a CRISP?
Why is it needed and how does it plan to enrich student lives? - Capital appreciation
How does the plan work?
How do I get my university to participate? (that reminds me, still have to get in touch with my university to pilot!!!)


CRISP for Retirement
What is it and what is a CRISP?
Why is it needed? (insert simple, factually correct and pertinent statistics about US saving rates?)
How does the plan work?


Other topics that could be covered in this round are:
DNotesVault - how to use it etc,
Cryptomoms - what is it etc?
CRISP overview - etc.
Any more?

Let me know what you all think should be prioritised / included together. I do think that because I'm CRISP director for students, and I was initially going to do this specifically for CRISP for Students, that I should continue to include that as one of the topics covered in the first batch. Wanted to post some rough draft ideas before all the US / Canadian citizens here go to bed.

You're welcome, and thanks, Dyna. Will do!

Thanks, Wiser. Check your email for the information you requested. Let me know if you need additional help.

I'm sure I could, as soon as I complete some projects I'm currently committed to

On a different note, who was the one who was selling the DNotes silver coins a few weeks ago? Could you please PM me?
