Thanks, RJF. People are consistent and their patterns of behavior are consistent. Trust has to be consistently demonstrated over time. It has to be earned and not claimed. You all are our judges. We are honored to have your trust and will not take lightly.

Market is turning around, values are going up, looks like some the "gloom and doom" contingent were, as usual wrong. Here's to a strong 2015 and continually successful DNotes!

Sending DNotes:  yes

Storing DNotes: yes, especially with the guarantee, that makes it a no brainer as long as there remains trust in the organization and that is only growing as far as I can see.

Using Dashboard: yes, simple enough for most.

Thank you BITDV, I will test it out at some point today, then add it. Good luck with your exchange

Somehow, I missed the most important link to this post. It is quite apparent that there is a serious need to have an online wallet for secure storage, perhaps also to support the convenience of mobile transactions. Certainly someguy123 must have worked very hard to make it happened. That is always a great thing for our industry. I used to own a fair amount of Litecoin but hardly a meaningful amount left to mention.

DNotesVault is also an online wallet; a web wallet. However, its current functions are quite different and specialized. DNotesVault is one of many, among a series of building blocks that will take some time to complete. All of our projects are strategically linked to others already in place, as well as those that will be launched later. As a continuous program, they provide growing fundamental values as DNotes price continues to appreciate. We believe that DNotes has a very healthy growth path that will continue for many years to come.

We can expect that others will soon try to provide the same service for their coin and that is a good thing for their stakeholders and our industry.

DNotes will always be a little different, because our commitments and philosophies are fundamentally different. Our digital currency is built from ground up with a core mission to be the Best In Class. We often do things others won’t, so that we can do things others can’t; such as our 100% deposit guarantee. One needs to be very lucky to become exceptional without a solid game plan and hard work. We are not counting on good luck. We have decided that it is best to work very hard for it. Thanks for supporting us.

Sharing and giving is a great thing. Anyone interested to start a program of their own, to share some DNotes with friends and family may send me a PM. I will do my best to be of some help.

Great discussion. Keep it up. I read every post.

BRAND NEW EXCHANGE!!


Dnote is on https://btcpool.exchange

WE ARE LIVE!!

My fault, I should have clarified that question. It was in regards to how they would have DNotes waiting for them at the DNotesVault. Automated for all new accounts wouldn't work because of potential abuse but having a special link (Like a redemption link) you can send them in the email might be feasible, but I guess not much of an advantage over just sending them to their email address and letting them know they are there waiting for them.

Either way, that is a fantastic idea. That is an awesome way to reconnect with people from our past too.

It's a great idea! What were you thinking as far as implementation? Something automated for all new accounts, or a special link, or more casual where you are just sending them the payment to their email before they register?

What I was thinking was that I could send an email to an old classmate, teacher, boss, friend, long lost relative, etc that included a simple how-to explanation about DNotes.  I would tell them that there was # Dnotes waiting for them at the DNotesVault.  All they have to do is sign up (using the same email address), create an deposit address, and the DNotes will show up in their account.  If you send it to people you know, even if it's been a long time since you have seen them, there will still be an element of trust.  It may be a great way to reconnect with someone.

It could have an expiry date in case they don't register.

What did you mean in "something automated for all new accounts"?

I think TeeGee has the 'keep it simple' covered - "explains in detail without losing the reader", "advantages DNotes enjoys over it's rivals", "screen shots of each step".  I kind of went on a DNotes bragging rant, and since I'm not writing this article, I will eat some humble pie.

I'll rephrase the last sentence in my post.  If we had an easy to follow how-to, do you think it's a good idea to email it to people and have a deposit of DNotes waiting for them at the Vault if they are interested?

I think that is certainly part of the problem Chase. After reading many write ups and watching many videos on crytocurrency, all attempt to make it easier to understand by breaking down how bitcoin actually works, from blocks to mining and algorithms with very little focus on the benefits. This approach is great for an audience with a technology background, maybe it's not the best approach for the everyday user. When shopping for a car, one doesn't ask why and how antilock brakes work, they just want to know it helps keep them and their family safe by allowing them to come to a stop more quickly.

I'm not suggesting it needs to be written any certain way, just throwing around ideas.

I like this idea, but it would really stand out if it was different from all the other how to's and videos that claim to be easy enough for grandma to understand, but actually leave grandma more confused than ever!  In order for cryptocurrency to work, everyone,including those with only basic computer skills, has to feel that they fit in somehow.  Other than DNotes, I don't know of any other coin that has done anything to tackle this.  The CR.I.S.P. is easy for people to comprehend because they have already heard of Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP), Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP), Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIP), etc.  We have given them a place to learn at CryptoMoms.  They are also familiar with their investments being held in a secure place (banks, investment companies, and now DNotesVault) and want nothing to do with downloading wallets and storing their investments on their computers.  We should emphasize how they can fit in at DNotes, by holding it as an investment, and spare them most of the complicated aspects of crypto.

Would it be a good idea to have this write-up (TeeGee ) with screen shots simple and inviting enough that we could email it to friends, family, and acquaintances, telling them that if they are interested, there are a certain amount of DNotes waiting for them when they sign up at the Vault?  Perhaps with an expiry date?

Good luck elrugrim

I remember putting in a full day in the field with Dyna, going home to eat and shower, and then coming back he is still there working away.

Thanks for the great response TeeGee.

Yep, we do need to add the account history for each address, so you can see what is happening.

Mastering the explanation of digital currency and it's benefits is quite a task. If that is something you are willing to tackle, it could make an excellent reference point.

Dyna-  go focus on projects, (but don't forget to take some brain cleansing down time)  I'm sure alot of us here can answer some of the questions that arise.

Thank you, TeeGee. May be if I openingly admit that I still owed you at least two long PM/email reply others will have a better idea how badly I needed more hours in the day to work on multiple projects behind the scene. Let us say we are looking forward to a great year. Please do the best you can to keep this forum active and productive. I know many of you are already doing your best and we appreciate that very much.

Great post, TeeGee.

Here are my personal thoughts in my experiences with give-aways that I have run. I'd like to mention that DYNA and DNotes were very helpful in the whole process. I gave crypto to about 30 Vault accounts so far, I was happy that approx 30% were female, a massive demographic with less exposure to this industry.

Is it easy to send DNotes to someone who knows nothing about digital currency? Can we make it easier?

*Being able to send digital currency to people who have no prior knowledge about it is really easy with the ability to attach the Notes to their e-mail.

*Explaining the advantages of crypto is exciting conversation to have with each unfamiliar person, but doing it several times a day, in multiple conversation mediums (facebook / e-mail / in person), it can become very time consuming. It is making me think that somebody from the community (I think I just put my hand up?) could write up a ~1000 word crypto "information" page that highlights the all the benefits of crypto, but also explains in detail without losing the reader, the comparative advantages DNotes enjoys over its rivals. I'm thinking this page should include screen shots of each step of the process (email, registration, and then dashboard) and in the future maybe some monthly progress reports on the market and how Dnotes has performed long term with some fancy graphs etc (I do that stuff in my spare time, so will just copy and paste it and make sure the grammar is tidy without lots of brackets and comma abuse!) The best mediums we could consider using to post the "update" information would be here on bitcointalk, on the FB page, twitter and the vault / Dnotescoin websites. I think potential investors would be quite interested, or at least give a second look into claims of "since this date, DNotes has gone from 1200 satoshi, to 3800 satoshi, which equates to $x to $x even taking into account the btc fall."

We could try and make some more videos like MiningHabit made a while ago that demonstrated how to buy from exchanges, the pc wallet demo's are a bit outdated.

*Giving the gifts of crypto to so many people, I found many of them didn't really understand it properly, but saw the value in "oh, it could go like the bitcoin one went, and be worth lots one day, oh sure i'll take it!", I'd say of the people who knew nothing about crypto, half of them were like this, the other half were more inquisitive and talked about wanting to discuss further when they had more money to properly invest and legitimately saw it as a long term investment - these people made me particularly happy. There exist many people who support crypto based on their moral conscience, and those people were over the moon to accept their "first crypto". My hope was that these people would 1. know that I'd done my research on what the best crypto was and 2. they would automatically think of Dnotes (after bitcoin) when somebody says "crypto", creating a tacit association.

Do you feel safe storing your coins at DNotesVault?
Is it easy to understand why your coins are safe at the DNotesVault?

It feels safe storing my crypto there, especially with the guaranteed fund. It is also very easy to understand why the coins are safe, there is a good explanation on the Vault website.

Is the dashboard easy to understand and use?

Yup, it sure is. It is good that you included having an "available balance" on top of a "overall balance". This means that I know that several people still haven't registered for their vault accounts that I've sent crypto to. In future, I imagine the Vault will look more like a chequeing account, where you can see your ingoings / outgoings, and just imagine how cool it would be to have a VaultCard that you could use on an eftpos terminal! - Would just have to find a payment processor, and write lots of code!

As we work on the DNotesVault, we would love to hear your suggestions.

This does not surprise me at all. VCs invested close to $400 million in Bitcoin and Altcoins, especially in the ecosystems, in 2014. I would not be shocked if it goes over $1 billion this year.

It also looks like a lot of institutional investors and wealthy individuals are considering investing in this space. When DNotes finally get a small slice of it, this will pay off big for our CR.I.S.Ps. holders. This could be the opportunity for people with very little to finally get a nice break, if they are invested, even in a small way.

Make an effort to introduce CR.I.S.Ps. to your friends and family. If you can make a compelling case that you are organizing a giveaway program to give a few DNotes to friends and family, PM me and I will try to help out. DNotes is becoming more precious and harder to come by. Every DNotes from me is purchased using my own funds to support the market. That is my way of helping as many people as I can and I mean every word of it. Too many people are struggling financially, I happened to know what that  feels like. When I have a choice, it is better to give, than to receive.
