Yes, Yahoo Finance is quick this time. The Headline is appealing to the Venture Capital community too and there is some sign of interest there as well. This will be an exciting week with far reaching PR worldwide.
Next push will be CRISP For Students, followed by CryptoMoms. This will be a sustained DNotes awareness campaign. Our objective is that by the end of this year, any serious participant in the cryptocurrency world will get to know DNotes. Hopefully, we will have a fulltime office next year and begin to ramp up certain project quickly.

Bitcoin Alternative DNotes Focuses On Banking Solutions And Stability While Venture Capital Investment Continues At Record Breaking Pace

Bitcoin volatility may have resulted in a slower adoption of the currency by large merchants, but venture capital funding continues at record breaking pace. Meanwhile, DNotes remains one of the most stable cryptocurrencies with focus on Banking Solutions and Long Term Appreciation, attracting new investors.

Illinois, USA – March 15, 2015 /MM-BitcoinPR/ —

There is an inherent tendency for promising emerging technologies to be deceptive at the formative stage, especially when perceived to be highly disruptive. According to DNotes Co-Founder Alan Yong, a well regarded pioneer and visionary during the early days of mobile computers, this has clearly been the case with Bitcoin, despite often being described as the greatest technology innovation since the Internet. The Bitcoin space has received a staggering investment of almost $500 million from Venture Capital funding in 2014 alone, followed by over $200 million, so far this year.

Incumbents, who are the most direct targets of the disruption, often discount Bitcoin as a threat because of its explosive volatility and poor track record as a store of value. Bitcoin as a medium of exchange has not gained meaningful traction either. In such an environment, the immensely promising Bitcoin with the potential to be the greatest technology revolution of our generation can be quite deceptive; causing many to look back a few years from now wondering how they could have missed the early promising signs.

DNotes can best be characterized, as a second generation Bitcoin alternative digital currency. It objectively studied Bitcoin’s strengths and weaknesses as well as threats and opportunities. DNotes was created on February 18, 2014 with an objective to meet the full functions of fiat currency as a unit of account, store of value and medium of exchange within three years. It decided to take a very different path since day one in building a trustworthy stable digital currency with reliable long term appreciation.

Central to DNotes long term strategic plan is the creation of highly scalable building blocks, as the foundation of its own ecosystem. Those strategic building blocks include CryptoMoms; a currency neutral site dedicated to encourage women participation, DNotesVault; a free secure storage for DNotes’ stakeholders with 100% deposit guarantee with verifiable funds, and CRISPs; a family of Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plans for everyone worldwide. The core mission of CRISP is to make the savings opportunity available to everyone; from the unborn to the most senior; from the unbanked to the super rich. The opportunity for anyone to participate irrespective of financial standing, coupled with combined charity efforts will bring about much needed financial freedom for millions worldwide.

Yong explained that,

“winning strategies are most effective when executed flawlessly in the right sequence and at the most opportune time. Until there is a stable digital currency everyone can understand, trust and feel comfortable about, attempts to promote it as a medium of exchange will cost more harm than good. In the case of DNotes, the medium of exchange function will not kick until its third year; at which time many small business owners and their employees are anticipated to be DNotes stakeholders and participants in one of its cryptocurrency savings plans.”

DNotes’ ecosystem is strategically linked and systematically executed towards the ultimate goal of mass consumer and mass merchant adoption of DNotes as a medium of exchange in global commerce. As a digital currency it is equal to and better than fiat currency and as a technology it holds enormous power to cause a quantum shift with world changing implications.

DNotes is a cryptographically created digital currency based on a novel decentralized peer to peer model, where trust is replaced by mathematical algorithms, eliminating the need of an intermediary such as a bank or an automatic clearing house. Assets of value such as Bitcoin, DNotes, and other digital assets can be sent and received in minutes anytime, anywhere, worldwide without the oversight of any central authority. It takes as little as two simple cell phones, or computers with an internet connection to send and receive funds. It does not require, transmit, or store any personal information and the two parties do not need to know or trust each other to successfully complete the transaction at little to no cost.

The world we live in has always been dynamic, constantly reacting and adjusting to the needs for change. What we could be underestimating this time is the massive potential for job and wealth creation. We are already living in a hyperconnected world with super-computing power at our finger tips. Over five billion people will be online equipped with significantly more powerful computing power by 2020. Technologies have always been ahead of regulations. This time around the speed of an accommodating regulatory environment to promote rather than to stifle the greatest innovation since the Internet could be the greatest competitive edge among nations. Bitcoin as a digital currency coupled with the immense power of the Blockchain is the solution to many global problems confronting mankind today. There may not be another global opportunity of this magnitude a single nation can exploit to gain an enormous advantage.

IndiaMikeZulu in da house! We are an alliance of Australian krypto geeks. Dnotes is a coin we are patiently analysing. However, we are generally appalled by the anti-woman sentiment and rhetoric of the crypto realm (including in our home-base coin!). This initiative is genius.

Thanks, Mark. We have our community to thank for the "genius" part. Some of the best ideas, including CryptoMoms and CRISP came from our community. We just drew the path on our road map. Our community came up with great ideas to build the best highways. I have to admit that we are great listeners and humble enough to take everyone seriously with respect and appreciation.

We help to create the most favorable environment to encourage common people working together to accomplish uncommon goals. I believe this is what RJF was referring to when he mentioned the power of developing grass root support to effect a desired change, instead of letting the big companies, the rich, and powerful to enforce their "golden rules" strictly to for self interest.

DNotes is stable and successful because majority of our stakeholders share the same mindset, philosophy and believe system. That becomes our culture as it continues to expand worldwide. Being the majority, they stand ready to promote the best interest of DNotes as a group for mutual benefits. Instinctively they believe in DNotes, protect it, save it and use as the medium of exchange.

We all could be a part of history in the making. We are now living in a hyperconnected world with super computing power at our finger tips. A great idea can be modeled and perfected anywhere in the world and replicated very quickly worldwide. DNotes is positioned to identify large scale global problems with global solutions. DNotes is more than just a digital currency. It is a business with a mission to provide stability, value and a healthy growth path for generations to come.

As Fraud Cases Reach New Highs Digital Currency DNotes Challenges Legacy Banking System With an Impressive Track Record of Stability and Store of Value



Bitcoin Press Release: As bank card scams cases reach brand-new highs, the heritage banking system might soon be challenged by Bitcoin Choice DNotes with a remarkable track record of stability and great establishment of worth; two of one of the most typically mentioned reasons that Bitcoin is not a sensible hazard.

There is a fundamental propensity for promising surfacing technologies to be deceitful at the formative stage, especially when regarded to be very disruptive. According to DNotes Co-Founder Alan Yong, a well related to leader and enthusiast throughout the early days of mobile computer systems, this has accurately been the case with Bitcoin, in spite of commonly being explained as the best modern technology advancement since the Web. The Bitcoin room has actually gotten an incredible investment of practically $ 500 million from Venture Resources funding in 2014 alone, complied with by over $ 100 million throughout the initial two months of 2015.

Regardless of exactly how encouraging, surfacing innovations are never ideal, providing space for critics to predict their early demise with astonishing headings. The legacy banking system – – being an integral part of an outdated as well as costly credit as well as debit card repayment network system – – has actually been among those critics. Being one of the most direct targets of disruption, senior bank as well as credit report card companies’ executives commonly discount Bitcoin as a danger due to its eruptive volatility and also inadequate performance history as an establishment of worth. Bitcoin as a tool of exchange has actually not obtained meaningful scale to trigger much discomfort either. In such a setting, the profoundly appealing Bitcoin with the possible to be the best technology transformation of our generation could be rather misleading; inducing many to recall a couple of years from now wondering exactly how they can have missed out on the early promising signs.

DNotes could best be distinguisheded, as a 2nd generation Bitcoin alternate electronic currency. Added over one year ago, it exploited the advantages of recognizing the weak points and mistakes that penalized Bitcoin as the pioneer. It objectively researched Bitcoin’s strengths as well as weak points and also risks as well as chances. DNotes was added on February 18, 2014 with an objective to satisfy the full features of fiat currency as an unit of account, shop of value and also circulating medium within 3 years. It made a decision to take a quite various path considering that day one in constructing a reliable steady electronic currency with reputable lasting gratitude.

Central to DNotes lasting critical plan is the creation of highly scalable foundation, as the structure of its own ecosystem. Those critical structure blocks consist of CryptoMoms; a currency neutral website dedicated to motivate women engagement, DNotesVault; a totally free safe and secure storage space for DNotes’ stakeholders with ONE HUNDRED % down payment guarantee with verifiable funds, and CRISPs; a family of Cryptocurrency Assets Savings Program for everybody worldwide. The core objective of CRISP is to make the savings possibility offered to every person; from the coming to one of the most elderly; from the unbanked to the very abundant. The chance for any person to participate irrespective of financial standing, combined with consolidated charity efforts will certainly bring around much required financial freedom for millions worldwide.

Yong explained that:

“victorying techniques are most reliable when implemented flawlessly in the ideal sequence and at the most suitable time. Till there is a secure electronic money everybody can understand, count on and also really feel comfy about, attempts to advertise it as a medium of exchange will certainly set you back more harm than excellent. When it come to DNotes, the circulating medium feature will not kick till its 3rd year; at which time many local business proprietors and also their employees are prepared for to be DNotes stakeholders as well as individuals in among its cryptocurrency cost savings plans.”

DNotes’ ecosystem is tactically linked and systematically executed to the supreme goal of mass consumer as well as mass merchant adoption of DNotes as a circulating medium in global business. As an electronic currency it is equal to as well as better compared to fiat currency and as a modern technology it holds substantial power to create a quantum shift with globe transforming effects.

DNotes is a cryptographically created electronic currency based on a novel decentralized peer to peer design, where trust is changed by mathematical algorithms, removing the need of an intermediary such as a financial institution or an automated cleaning house. Assets of value such as Bitcoin, DNotes, as well as other digital possessions can be sent and also received in mins anytime, anywhere, worldwide without the oversight of any kind of central authority. It takes just two simple mobile phone, or computers with an internet connection to send out and also obtain funds. It does not need, transfer, or keep any kind of personal information and the 2 parties do not need to understand or rely on each other to successfully complete the deal at little to no charge.

On the various other hand, the heritage banking system, credit report and also debit card repayment network systems are based on an outright reliance on individuality with several direct exposures that can be as well as have actually been jeopardized. With multiple intermediaries calling for proof of identity for the release of funds, loans as well as credit rating approval based of the “holder” of the needed personal information, this has been shown repeatedly to entail high threat exposures.

The legacy credit rating and debit card payment network systems are expensive. Furthermore digital money nonreversible deals supply a considerable benefit in shielding businesses and online merchants from credit rating card fraud chargeback that torment lots of smaller sized on the internet transaction in credit report card repayments.

There will be an increase in media coverage on DNotes starting tomorrow. We are expecting expanded coverage worldwide. If you come across new mainstream media that picked up the DNotes article for the first time, post the news clipping on this forum in whole or in part. It will give us a better idea on how we can best manage future releases. However, we do not want to flood this forum with extra page counts either. It's already becoming a problem for me to track down what I posted just a few weeks ago.

CRISP for students will be launched during the week of March 30, 2015. We encourage students, family and friends with student/s to help out in any ways possible. This will evolve to be a large scale global project over the next few years, likely to open up significant job opportunities and great learning experience. Interested parties should PM TeeGee. We will be starting out in small scale; fine tune it and get it somewhat established before turning it into a global project.

Breaking News: Here is the primary headline you can expect starting tomorrow (there could be others):

Dyna here in spain is starting an ATM bussines called BTC POINT, i now they are right now in Silicon Valley, his ATMs are so good you can see video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=btc+point , maybe is possible add Dnotes into, last news i heard is that they are trying to install in USA looking for partners, now have special promotion "without fees change". They are ·normal· people so you can speak to them  Grin if you want i can do.

i now one bussines buy his ATMs renamed to his bussines, each ATM is about 12k euros, but can be good idea to plant 1 ATM in each Dnotes center, in firefigters , smokeis graden ect.. maybe not for now but for a near future. This is so good that you can give dnotes to people without exchanges or wherever direct to his vault. can make ATM for start only one way

... sorry i cant read ,,, whats about?

That was just an ad in Chinese on certain products that accept BTC as payment.

ATM could be a good idea in certain situations. It's one of many potential business opportunities when DNotes becomes sufficiently popular. It will most likely be a third party participating to build the DNotes ecosystem.

Incredible new banking system has the Feds rattled...
  
Dear Reader,
  
I haven't seen anything like this before…
  
  • An entirely new way to bank is exploding around the world.
      
    It's completely independent of the government and the central banking system.
      
    Best of all its being run entirely by ordinary people just like you...
      
    I call it the "underground banking system."
      
    As you can imagine, Wall Street, the Fed and Congress are freaking out at the benefits this is offering people.
      
    Not only are people getting an unprecedented level of privacy and security… many who have stuck with it had the opportunity to make as much as 5,000% on their investment.
      
    One U.S. senator even asked if this might "replace the Swiss Bank account."
      
    The truth is… it could be much bigger.
      
    You need to see this before they try to shut it down.
 
Click here now to learn how to take advantage of this incredible new banking system.

The reason I posted this is simple, we all need to do whatever we can to expose these things and inform people how Bitcoin and crypto really works. This guy is a hustler and con artist. He isn't doing crypto any favors. Anyone who invests because of what they will read in the presentation attached to this will be sorely disappointed. I feel we all have a duty to play a part in public education and debunking myths and misinformation so, please if your friends ask about this or receive this spam email, set them straight.




This type of practice is fairly common in the information marketing world, with all kinds of false information and fake statistics.

Yes, I've seen this everywhere but this particular one just pushed my buttons. With all the work being done to overcome this kind of false reputation it saddens me to see people making money from the naive who long for a "get rich quick" solution to their general failure to thrive. Shame...

Anyway, as happens from time to time, I was hit squarely between the eyes by the banking industry this morning. I don't usually patronize ATM machines but, it's Girl Scout Cookie season and cash is king. So, what should I see on the way to work but a cookie stand positioned right next to a PNC Bank ATM machine, how convenient! (and smart!)

So I get out my card, go through the motions and get to the "Do you accept this fee?" screen. Sure I suppose, what is it, 50 cents, a dollar maybe? Try three dollars! That's right, three dollars to get ten dollars. That's a 30% fee! Now I realize its a flat fee, across the board, but, come on! Would you pay a 30% sales tax on a box of cookies? Of course not so why do people pay these outrageous ATM fees? unbelievable!

Needless to say I cancelled the transaction and went "cookie-less" No, I'll still get my cookies but I'll walk into my credit union after 9 AM and withdrawal the ten dollars from a teller for nothing, no fee, nada.

Just another call for reform. Another reason for people to start thinking on their own and stop buying the BS of the current financial system. Anyone who thinks any bank is looking out for your best interest is blind, deaf and dumb. Every day it costs you more to be banked. Some hidden fee, interest or new charge to do what used to be free, are showing how desperate banks are for income, don't fall for it...


And the worst part about it? All the people (sheeple?) behind me will pay it without a thought. So the next time anyone says we need banks, educate them.
