Any helping in the promotion of the plan is most appreciated BitcoinNewbie. Twenty-one of the 200 "super" award give-away have been used up. It could be incredibly helpful if you could consider contacting your university in the near future with a pre-prepared e-mail I will write. It may be a challenge at first to get your friends into crypto because the blockchain sounds complicated to them, and they oft say 'what do I do with it?' after you tell them that it is cash. I've also found it a real effort to get Facebook groups to post my DNotes link as a their page, where everybody will see it. Individually telling students on FB is also a challenging task, because each of them will ask supplementary questions after the initial 'hey, check this out, go here, then fill that out...' which can absorb lots of time.

My opinion is that for now DNotes is a currency that will act as an appreciating asset while the team implements the infrastructure to support a large influx of users for mass adoption when we expect DNotes to be used as cash, at shops, online... anywhere. Most people don't even know what 'digital currency' means. Maybe I need to spell it?

Perhaps I should write a short paragraph for the landing page that explains the above paragraph? I didn't write anything about DNotes being a 'currency', but focussed on DNotes as being an 'appreciating asset' that could help alleviate student debt. (DYNA, DNotes, Smokey - your thoughts?)

Feel free to PM me if I can help with anything.

Oh, i did not know that. Thank you for the information I would love to help promote it. Ill tell some of my friends about it!

I want everyone's opinion on this one:

Which name do you prefer, "DNotes Digital Currency Education Tool" or "DNotes Guide to Digital Currency"? Also if you have a suggestion, I'm open to hearing new ideas.

The app is currently called DNotes Education Tool, and is available on Google Play.

Hi TeeGee. You have an enjoyable weekend too. For those who are new to digital currency it is important to keep in mind that DNotes, being a currency, is not owned by any single individual or entity. It is collectively owned by all of its stakeholders. We strongly believe that for the currency to be truly successful it must be built with trust, integrity, and in line with the philosophy of its stakeholders. We are constantly watching out for good ideas from our community and do take them under serious considerations, as long as they are within the scope of our strategic plans. However, we are very selective and highly focused in our core missions.

We would love to have you sign up and actively participate to help promote the project if possible. There will be opportunities for you to earn DNotes by helping out in the future. It's all up to you though. The program is designed to accommodate a very large number of students worldwide, so don't worry about using up a spot. We just wanted to start small to catch any problems. Let is know if you have any recommendations for improvement. Thank you for your support.

Dnotes pretty much answered it for me I am a student, but I already use and understand crypto, so I don't want to take up a spot that a beginner could use

Oh I see, that just about sums it up! Thanks for the response

I will be delighted to help. Do you have specific questions that you need clarification? Are you a student planning to sign up?

Hi BitcoinNewbie15,

Here is a quote that best describes it for me.

"The CRISP for Student program is designed to assist students to get started with a digital savings account without having to pay for it, allowing them to gain immediate exposure and experience with digital currency – the future of money. "

At it's core, any CRISP program is a Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan, to help people get started with cryptocurrency. At this stage, cryptocurrency is still in its infancy, if you believe it is the future of money like we do, then you want to save some now before it grows and becomes harder to obtain.

Does that answer your question?

Just spotted another financial publication that picked up the CRISP For Students write-up.

We appreciate your offering of this service IMZ!

Can someone explain the CRISP for students thing? I find it a little confusing.

I will be around over the weekend. If anyone posts a friend's brand-new account address, I shall send 100 NOTE to it*. That first experience of seeing coin turn up in your wallet is psychologically important.

*I have 1,000 NOTE that I got as a present!

Very good quotes! They really highlight the point that this team is aware of the happenings in crypto, and the lessons from previous nascent industries that have had a similar trajectory. Look at all the projects like crypto mom's and crisps, that are the product of our dev team listening to the excellent ideas of the community!

Hope everybody is enjoying their Easter!

I wish I picked up some cheap Dnotes when I had the chance! The Dnotes vault is an awesome idea

It is helpful to hear it if you come across something that could benefit DNotes. Thank you.

Dont worry everybody make a fault sometimes.

i think resources and time to deploy this are minimal, and potencial for gain users, and Dnotesvault accounts its great.

haha just showing interesting news of outthere.

Quote from Dyna:

One of our greatest assets is our discipline and ability to remained highly focused working on projects that matter most at that period in time. It is just as important not to get ahead of technologies but always be deeply informed and well positioned to participate in and exploit them at the most opportune time.

The first mover advantage is often over estimated. Pioneers often pay a very high price and struggle just to stay alive, avoiding many pitfalls, while allowing others who come from behind to learn from their mistakes and take full advantage on what has been accomplished and paid for. Good timing is invaluable.

Quote from MinningHabit:
(Quoting the late Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple Computer:

Amazingly well said.

To quote Jobs on the same topic: “People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”

Happy to see you, MinningHabit. Hope you and your family are all doing well. Our very best to you all.

Good to hear form you MiningHabit. That is a great quote, and there will be a lot of excellent ideas we may have to say no to. That said, allowing everyone, regardless of tech experience, to mine for themselves is important to us.

Amazingly well said.
