Thank you TeeGee, that would be excellent.

True, that is a really good idea.

I'm not an 'official editor' or anything, but I'm pretty sure anybody can modify / create articles. I think using the coinwik.org article as an information base, and writing about the previous year of DNotes history, backed up with a list of press releases and milestones is a great idea. The wikipedia entry will likely be the first entry to come up on google for any search for "DNotes", so it will be a great advertising tool, I believe.

I'm more than happy to do this, I can do the research through the forum history, check press releases, and remember most of the milestones DNotes has met and goals set.

Here is a publicly available Google Drive document that I'll share, for anybody here to add milestones, press release links (prefer by largest, most reputable news networks like CNBC, bloomberg, yahoo where possible) etc. I need to write my CRISP post before I get onto the wikipedia entry.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eyA5pDfviQdw9V-8rYZSOiFzUpEjRnudsTvf00VF2-M/edit?usp=sharing

Update as you see fit, and when I've got through some other things I'll begin a write up.

A CRISP generator that can be customized by the user would solve all these equations and give the user whatever they want, within reason and a set of rules of course.

That's awesome! How about a lottery CRISP for Vacation too? People enter by throwing in say 2000 DNotes, and the moment the vacation lottery fund reaches say $5000 USD, whether by price appreciation, or more DNotes triggering the 5k limit - contributors are given a chance to win based on their proportion of the vacation fund they put in. Could be an interesting 'third party' CRISP that a private individual could run as a sort of promotional lottery for DNotes or something.

I would have to agree with the fact that DNotes is a lot more than just technology!!

How about CRISP for Vacation? Could be fun, pay for your vacation in the Bahamas with DNotes

DNotes is the only one I have come across to look at cryptocurrency as more than just a technology.

We hear you, DC. It does get frustrating sometime for alt coins to be directly linked to the fortune or misfortune of Bitcoin at this time. I don't expect a viable near term solution. We just have to be practical and work hard towards the day when DNotes can stand alone by merits and perhaps an advantage for other currencies to be pegged to DNotes. That is a real possibility but it may be years away.

It is a reasonable statement that no other cryptocurrency is addressing the vital importance of currency stability, trust and integrity as seriously as DNotes. Perhaps we are the only community strongly committed to examine all the issues and focus on total solutions, instead of just pick and choose. Our approach is significantly harder and much more time consuming. Frankly that is what differentiates DNotes from others the most, in fairly significant ways.

Marc, you are correct that the current debit and credit card payment network systems will be replaced one day. 2FA as a dynamic pin code is far superior to the old 4 digit static pin code. As we have discussed on numerous occasions, their current system has multiple problems. Essentially it an out dated costly system with serious structural problems, but it is very expensive to tear down completely, for a total rebuild. That is not going to happen unless there is a formidable competitor. To be objective, Bitcoin is a formidable technology, but not yet a formidable competitor or threat, because it has remained highly volatile, somewhat confusing and complicated.

Banks and credit card companies are well aware of the potential threats and they have been pushing back aggressively. It is also apparent that they are looking at different options, including the possibilities of working with central banks on a multi-nations basis. There may be some merits but that will result in a whole array of new problems that could be even more troubling. The inherent self interest of nations and other participating parties will likely make it near impossible to make it a reality or the cause an early demise that could be extremely damaging to the world economy.

The world we live in has changed drastically over the last twenty years. Technologies are hugely responsible in bringing about enormous advancement we did not think possible just 30 years ago. From a world of worrisome scarcity, technologies are rapidly turning it into a world of abundance, through great improvements in productivities, as well as doing things that were not achievable before, such as extraction of natural resources, and huge improvement in farm productivities, just to mention a few.

Those who can keep up with the rapid advancement will reap a disproportionate share of the reward. We are already hyperconnected with increasing supercomputing power at our finger tips. Over five billion people will have a smart phone significantly more powerful than what we can even imagine today, by the year 2020. Those who have the vision to look far ahead into the future must now examine large scale problems and solutions on a global scale. Student, leaders of the future, and entrepreneurs must start to do the same. Those who can quickly adapt and look at large scale problems and solution from global prospective will find plenty of challenges and opportunities by doing well.

CRISP For Students will be launched during the week of March 30, 2015. DNotes is firmly committed to help prepare the next generation of leaders to manage a rapidly changing world. Among many new tools in their tool box will be a global digital currency called DNotes, destined to be the currency of the world. It has only one self interest; for the mutual benefits of everyone worldwide. That is the legacy the DNotes community is attempting to build and we will need all the help we can get. We invite all of you to join our grass root campaign to make life a little better and less stressful for everyone.

On that subject from Dyna,

At this stage it is not likely that Bitcoin can be repositioned to be a sufficiently stable currency.

I agree, BTC is all over the map. Whereas Dnotes has shown a much more stable floor in its short existence. Even now after the last price rise following the 1 year mark, it has yet shown again a new and higher stable floor. And I credit that to the investment strategy for Dnotes.

The biggest problem is now, as with all alt coins is they are dependent upon bitcoin for its final value. Dreaming here a bit, but what could take Dnotes to it own place or store of value" would be to have its own Dnotes Exchange, or even more so a coinbase.com type of US Dollar purchase/sell exchange. From there it could break the chains that bind it to BTC and truly have its own identity.

Would like to even see a dedicated multipool that pays out in Dnotes, similar to iHash.co, xpool.ca,  supernet and alike, Of course its debatable if it helps a coin to have a multipool go to market and covert the days mining into a specific coin for payout. In my mind that open for discussion.

DC  

That sounds like a great idea. Are you an editor there? We also have this one for reference:
http://coinwik.org/DNotes

My CRISP post is still on it's way (being written in my head), perhaps scheduled for tomorrow. Something just came across my mind though... do we need a wikipedia entry for DNotes, given all the extra PR attention we are getting / due to get?

Sorry guys, gave it some thought but I can't seem to think of anything else. Some damn good ideas there already though.

lol, yes it is, a good morning Saturday! ribbit 

ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.... that is frog for Good morning Saturday.

Thanks, Chase. Excellent work. It will certainly be nice to have a few more entries.

Hi, DC. Thanks for your support and confidence in DNotes. The outdated and costly debit and credit card network payment systems will be replaced one day, but not likely to be anytime soon. They have very good reasons not to take Bitcoin as an immediate threat. Bitcoin’s high volatilities defeat its low cost transaction fees. Because of the high volatilities, factually, Bitcoin is neither a good medium of exchange nor a good store of value as it stands now; two of the most important functions of money.

I am very appreciative and respectful of what Bitcoin has accomplished. As a group Bitcoin has done an amazing job over the last 18 months in terms of getting the word out. Although there has been a great deal of negative and inaccurate reporting Bitcoin has enjoyed very good mainstream media support. It has also attracted robust support from the venture capital community and many start-ups in building a significant ecosystem.

In my opinion, unlike DNotes, Bitcoin is not created with currency stability in mind. To be fair, as the pioneer, it is seldom possible to think through all the different scenarios. At this stage it is not likely that Bitcoin can be repositioned to be a sufficiently stable currency. My expectations are that Bitcoin will be very popular for speculative trading with a high tendency to be manipulated often, but for long term investors it has the potential for significant price appreciation. 

It will be a couple more year before DNotes can claim to be the digital currency that meets the full functions of money; namely as a unit of account, as a medium of exchange, and as a store of value. We take them all very seriously and it has been the case since day one. Our commitment is to ensure that we remained highly focus on the biggest prize of all: the preferred digital currency for global commerce. Once we reached that point, the network effect will be massive for DNotes.

There are 2 days left in the CRISP Word Contest and would be great to get a few more entries.  If I have missed any submissions please let me know and I will add them to the post.  Let us know what your favorites are.  Thanks!!

grandmama (having some fun):   CRISPy Critters: I belong to the CRISPy Critters team... and am an animal when is comes to DNotes.    

Chase (also having some fun  ):  CRISP Fund Baby
Definition - Modern day replacement of the "trust fund baby".  A child born to, or receiving a gift from, someone with a large amount of DNotes.  The parent or gift giver set up a CRISP for the child when they were born or very young and the child is now able to live off the appreciated value of the CRISP.  While the term "trust fund baby" carries negative connotations of never having to work, the grown up "CRISP fund baby" tends to be hard working and appreciative of what their parents did for them.   


CRISP Customized

infovortice2013:  Can be use for old, young(study), childrens, needs... but i like to see travel plans savers or 2 savatical years found or wherever user selfmake want.

*********

BoscoBlue / RJF / DNotes (Joint Entry):      
Boscoe Blue - Organizations may benefit from using CRISP, where the organizer can customize and contribute to their own CRISP program. For example, employee matching programs.  
RJF - Perhaps, in the future, we could have a "CRISP Generator" where you just plug in the required amounts, fund name and purpose, pick from a list what you want to calculate, etc and submit it for review and possible posting if acceptable. Of course there would be rules and guidelines and the creation process would rely on drop down choices to keep things in line and formatted as DNotes wishes. People could apply for a CRISP Hosting account at the time.
DNotes - Agreed, that sounds like a good idea. An organization would apply for registration. Get their own landing page like ABCOrganization.DNotesVault.com, registrations through that landing page would be tied to that organizations account. As well as an organizational administration panel where they could approve registrations and add 'rules' for accounts tied to that organization, like fund matching or initial sign up bonus. What type of organizations might be interested in something like this?                                    
RJF - I would think the list is long and distinguished. Schools, volunteer Fire/Rescue/OEM, public service such as Rotary, Masons, Optimists, Scout Troops, Charities, etc.  Anybody that wants to offer an incentive for joining, serving or remaining a member.

********

RJF:  CRISP for Families! Either a CRISP for Families, or a pre-configured generator to create simple family CRISP Plans where Mom or Dad can "plug in" their configuration and comfort level, include their children, and end up with their own, family oriented, savings plan/account all rolled up in one CRISP customized for them.  

With growing distrust in banks and other financial entities and managers, people are starting to take their investments into their own hands, what better way to do this than a DNotes savings plan that you customize for your own needs and expectations? I can foresee a lot of activity with this and that is the main reason a self management system should be developed to take off DNotes developers. And, as always, the chance for much greater than traditional returns is always there.

I think this would be a template for all future CRISP plans if developed with flexibility in mind. Later on we can role crypto currency conversion into the system to allow for the deposit of other coins and their automatic conversion into DNotes being instantly added to your vault.

And keep in mind, unlike groups and businesses, families are free to open accounts as they wish without going through "due process" and loosing time and money waiting.

Chase:   CRISP For Customer Loyalty:  This would work better, at least at first, on larger purchases like vehicles, appliances, furniture, equipment, etc.  Because you are already sitting down filling out the paperwork on such sales, setting up a CRISP would be simple.  As an incentive to remain loyal to a specific retailer, a small percentage of the sale would go towards establishing, or further contributing to, a CRISP for the customer.  It could evolve to include a point system (which could include major retailers) where a certain amount of points allows you to purchase one DNote.  

Dyna:    By popular demand (if that turns out to be the case) CRISP For 1st Time Home Buyer could be a good idea. A young couple dating, may want to jointly start a CRISP by giving up a fine dining with the saving invested. You guys can expand from there.


CRISP Board Game

kanus1113:      CRISPopoly (lol)  Similar to monopoly, except the objective is... Once the 'exchange' runs out of DNotes, you win the game if you saved the most.  It's a work in progress lol, but you get the picture.

infovortice2013: CRISPers 4 Dnotes

BoscoBlue:     How about Digital Life. A spin on the game of life that is all digital and allows opportunities to put money into CRISP accounts?
