Hi, everyone. I am starting to work on the 1st draft of our Press Release for CR.I.S.P. For Retirement scheduled to be launched sometime next week. If you have any great ideas or headlines that should be considered please let me know promptly. Meanwhile, I am starting out with the following working title.

I don't think that big wall at 4200 will be there for much longer.
It is a public holiday here in NZ (Waitangi Day - where everybody gets in a rut over race issues and anti-colonialism etc) which also means it is a bank holiday... (Friday here). Saturday and Sunday are also bank holidays, so that means that the payment I wish to make to an account at a different NZ bank will not clear until uhhhhghhh...well this is the notice my bank gives me before making payment in my internet banking:
"BNZ will send this payment to the payee's bank just after 9am on Monday 9th February. Some banks will process the payment as soon as they receive it and the payee will see the funds on Monday 9th February. Other banks will take one more business day to complete the payment and the payee will see the funds on Tuesday 10th February"
Yes people, you read that correctly - it could take up to 4 days until the funds will clear for the product I wish to purchase. That means I will not receive the goods I want until this time. If for example, the product I wished to purchase was Bitcoin, then I'd risk price movements before the funds would clear at the exchange. This is an unacceptable amount of time to wait to conduct e-commerce, considering I could send any of you DNotes to your wallet into a vault account instantly... I could send Smokey / Alan some DNotes for a product they sell in their garden business, and the goods would have been dispatched, and likely half way around the world to me by the time these funds clear to another New Zealander's bank account.
We really need to push this point of transaction speeds more. The bankers know the end is nigh for their banking operating model.

TeeGee, I can understand the frustration. I had a different frustrating banking experience last week. I had to wire transfer a decent amount of money to a title company on last Thursday for a land contract final payment the following day. As it turned out, I decided not to wait till the last day and went to my bank at 1:30 p.m. I started out with the bank teller. She was nice but had to wait for the bank manger. The bank manager was polite but instructed me to wait for a personal banker who was attending to another customer. Finally it was my turn. She was very friendly and helpful but took at least 30 minutes to fill up various forms and took a photo copy of my driver’s license. She essentially got all my personal information as well as my signature, of course. When we were done, I asked if the wire transfer was going out the same day. She looked at her watch and said “Oops, sorry, Mr. Yong, we just missed the 3:00 pm dateline. It will go out some time tomorrow. And by the way, there is a $25 fees. Would you like to pay for it now or do you want me to take it out of your account.” That is why we are on a mission to come up with a more viable option. With DNotes I would not have to leave my home and took care of it in minutes and paid .2 penny for the transaction fees. Quite compelling.
Let's not worry about occasional larger sell orders. DNotes price has been holding up well despite many other coins loosing a lot of ground.

everything ok?
everything ok?Everything is fine and DNotes price has been holding up well, though there appears to be a lot of weeding out in our industry.
Yes there seems to be a lot of talk about the weeding out, disappearance and dropping off of "bad coins". I think the "pump and dump" coins are going to drop off one by one leaving the coins which are truly backed by honest coins which have developers with integrity . This makes me so very happy to have the DNotes team behind this coin. Please keep up the good work and great new programs which have been discussed along the way. These can only help in achieving the ultimate long term goals by achieving the short term goals.

I'm sure just as every sell wall before it, which there were plenty, it will be eaten up eventually.

Yep up and running again. Reminded me to look at the latest in mining equipment. The Scrypt mining hardware hasn't upgraded much in the last couple months. I wish we had a chart that showed rate of improvement in the mining technology so we can see if it appears to be peaking. I hate buying new equipment that is obsolete so quickly, but I love mining.

Here's something I would like to hear some comments on. I initially posted this in the Digibyte forum since they were discussing the issue but, I would like to see what everyone here thinks:
"I'm hearing a lot of noise about Bitcoin's "flaw" regarding non reversible transactions. This is both a good and bad feature in the protocol depending on what the transaction is for. Perhaps, a solution would be to change the code so the transaction IS reversible for some period of time or, until the receiving party physically accepts it. Thoughts?"
Seems this is one of the holdups for mass adoption although most of that noise is coming from the established money/credit providers. Do you agree?

This is my take and I will try to make it brief. The irreversible feature of Bitcoin is an important security component and a great selling point to merchants. Legitimate merchants stand by their products and services they sell. Buyers have full recourse to a refund of their payments, if they so demand, within some reasonable scope of limitations, either directly or through the court of laws. I do not see this as an added risk exposure to the consumers, but a significant protection for merchants.
Reversible payments will drastically increase merchants’ risk exposure and a huge deterrent to mass merchant adoption. Anonymity, with the exception of certain merchants, is also a deterrent to mass adoption.
Unfortunately, I am having a very busy day and do not have the time to elaborate this further. I will conclude that in the absence of the irreversible feature and a required true anonymity for DNotes my optimism for the success of DNotes would be severely degraded. That is how strongly I feel about these two functions of Bitcoin as a digital currency technology.
I was trying to find an article I had read awhile ago about chargebacks, but haven't found it yet. It gave the details on things like most reversed transactions are from online purchases, a lot of them are consumer fraud (receiving the merchandise, but saying you didn't), etc. I'm of the opinion that this ("bitcoin's flaw") is just the credit card companies using this fact as their trump card. Things will evolve and work themselves out and their argument will become mute. Some of this can be dealt with on the shipping side ie. shipping insurance to guarantee receipt and in good condition where the customer must acknowledge upon receipt. Best sellers ratings for reputable online businesses. Apps that will recognize the addresses of the businesses on your safe list and issue you a warning if necessary, etc. Who knows, this could weed out bad businesses and bad customers.
I did find this article on how much chargebacks cost merchants:
"The Unknown Costs of a Chargeback" - http://www.chargeback.com/blog/the-unknown-costs-of-a-chargeback
Someone was listening to me
. LOL"Bonafide Raises $850k to Build Reputation System for Bitcoin"
A startup called Bonafide has raised $850,000 to build a reputation system for the bitcoin industry.
The funding round, which comes from Quest Venture Partners, Crypto Currency Partners and the AngelList Bitcoin Syndicate, among others, is a step towards creating a scoring system for addresses on bitcoin’s network.
Notably, Bonfide.io was included in Silicon Valley’s 500 Startups incubation program last year.
Brian Moyer, the firm's co-founder, said that 500 Startups venture partner Sean Percival saw early on the potential for Bonafide to create more credibility in bitcoin commerce, whether between consumers and merchants, or in person-to-person payments.
Moyer said:
“What we’ve found is that people need to identify with something, whether it’s a person or an entity in the bitcoin ecosystem. People need to be able to see what’s out there.”
Managing reputation
Following a spate of collapsed companies and notable frauds in the space, reputation in bitcoin is now seen as increasingly important in helping the technology to go more mainstream and overcome fears over the digital currency's pseudonymous nature.
While bitcoin addresses can in some cases be tracked and identified with certain persons or firms, generally it is hard to find out who owns a particular address.
So, for merchants and consumers in the bitcoin space, not having solid information about the person or entity they are dealing with can be a problem – an issue Bonafide aims to solve.
Moyer said:
“Bitcoin is desperately in need of having that place for people to be able to demonstrate their validity in the space."
Bonafide does not have a login on its website. Instead, it culls information from social networks and the bitcoin network in order to provide entities, which could be people or organizations, a reputation score.
http://www.coindesk.com/bonafide-raises-850k-build-reputation-system-bitcoin/
LOL. How many DNotes did have to pay those guys to listen to you? I bet a lot to be thinking like us, as we have been since day one. They got the right idea but it will take a lot more than 850K for a partial reputation rebuild.
If you started off with a cold cup of tea, it best to empty it first. Otherwise, it will take a lot more hot tea just to warm it up for you. It is best to start with an empty clean cup as DNotes did. We are building from ground up, block by block. Trust and integrity are just among a couple of those building blocks. In brief, it will take a lot more than that. There is no single solution for an industry as complex as ours. It will take a total package of many little tasks and a great deal of dedications and commitments that are consistently positive and productive, sustainable over a long period of time, under the right leadership.
For those that are trying to operate as a currency right now that did not have a master plan from day one, they will have to apply patches as they go along and hope that they stick.
What I liked about this article wasn't that it was about bitcoin, but the fact that it is starting to address some of the concerns voiced ie. Bill gates comment that if you enter the wrong address, your bitcoin is gone. With the address identified with the merchant (like I told these guys to do
), some of these fears are being eliminated.Many of the problems that are being pushed as a scare tactic are often pretty easy to overcome given time and dedication. I don't think there will be any issues that can't be overcome.
+1 A lot of BS is being flung around to scare off the average Joe.

Hi everyone, apologize for my absence, down in the Sunshine State till 2/11 on a job,not much time for the forums. Love the way things are shaping up, everyone is contributing and things moving forward nicely. TTYL
PS: Absolutely love the "Opinion" Spray!

Hi RJF. Great to hear from you. Work must come first. However, there may to be a logistic issue I need to bring to your attention. I can get creative and work around it, assuming that I have sufficient materials to work from based on your blog posts. I will be working on the first draft of CR.I.S.P. for Retirement press release in a few days. Ideally, a lot of the materials will be pulled from the OP/landing page with a smooth tie-in. There should also be a quote from RJF as Director of …. After the first draft is completed, it is then sent to our PR team for editing. Typically it takes a week and a few revisions before the final copy is approved for release, with at least 24 hours notice before the hard date. Since we are scheduled for launch on the week of Feb.16, 2015, the press release should be finalized by that Monday allowing for a minimum of 24 hours before it is released for distribution.
If you have any new concepts you plan to incorporate please let me know as soon as possible. Otherwise, enjoy the sunshine.
I don't want to over-complicate the introduction, can you use what I posted previously? You can manipulate it a bit if you feel it needs something. If you want new copy, let me know and I'll try to get something together but only able to work late at the moment, be back to normal next week...
I will start working on the first draft of the press release tomorrow and should be able to email a copy to you on Saturday for a quick review. You do not have to spend too much time on that but watch for issues I might have missed that you like to have included. Feel free to point out other areas that caught your attention, one way or another. I need to forward a copy to our PR team for editing on Sunday Feb. 8 and go from there. We are still counting on you to write the text for the OP/landing page, which should have a first draft copy on display by Saturday Feb. 14, or as early as possible. PR needs a good feel of that before finalizing the press release. Of course, the OP/landing page can always be improved and upgraded later. Do the best you can and let me know where I can be helpful.
Thanks for helping out. By discussing this on an open forum, I trust that others participating in other projects will get a better idea of the process. We are planning to step up our PR campaign this year. Anyone with skill-sets in this area and like to participate should PM me.
Just to confirm, CR.I.S.P. For Retirement will be officially launched the week of Feb. 16, 2015 with a full press release. CR,I.S.P. for Students will follow a month later. Other line-ups include CR.I.S.P. for Employee Benefits and CR.I.S.P. For Charity. More could be added later. We are also planning to reach out to many women’s groups and organizations. We can use a lot more help here. Interested parties should PM Chase or me. This is a great way to earn some DNotes if you have an interest. DNotes are beginning harder to come by, but a few of our large whales have been quite generous reaching deep in their pockets so that we don’t need to seek for donations from others. As always, thank you for your support and confidence in DNotes.
