Thank you, RJF. We will be launching it through KickStarter to drum up initial support for the project with a small pre-sell target. Anyone who can support me with a small pledge to buy a copy of the book will be greatly appreciated.
  

You can count me in for a copy, can I pay with Bitcoin? I really don't want to spend any DNotes because the future of DNotes is looking very bright!

Well, for the kickstarter portion, we will only be able to use what kickstarter accepts. Which at the moment is only debit/credit cards. Other forms of payments will be available after the launch, kickstarter will begin prior to launch.


Wow - lot's of interesting info on the DNotes' thread today!

I'll take 3 or 4 books.  Smiley Smiley

Quote from: indiamikezulu on March 21, 2016, 11:53:32 PM

Ian and I are trying to arrange a meeting with the head of the Commerce and IT Department of our local college. WTS.


Hmmm . . . while trying to figure out if Connecticut is going ‘bankupt’ as well as Puerto Rico and Illinois, I found this:

“Many more [nations], from Senegal to Laos, lie in a debt danger zone, where an economic downturn or a sudden jump in interest rates on world debt markets could lead to disaster.”

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/11/beyond-greece-world-filled-debt-crises [My italics]

The report is already dated – mid-2015 -- but more interesting is that other lists of the same type list other nations: that is, the list is longer.

All these nations are candidates for crypto adoption.

Quote From Shepherd Today:

Illinois is not exactly out of the woods yet, but it is getting a little better. As long as nothing major blows up anytime soon I think we can manage to get by.

If we look at the world as a whole, we are getting progressively worse. But no one wants to see the whole system collapse; so collectively our political leaders will always make a last minute bailout attempt and just create more money out of thin air. Eventually, there may be no more place to hide.  In the mean time, we need to build trust and awareness so that digital currency like DNotes and others can be a viable investment alternative, just in case.

Thank you, Wiser, for an exceptional post and your kind words. We take it as a privilege that our community has been very supportive of our efforts and will likely be very supportive of major technical  improvement to DNotes in the future. However, we are mindful that to preserve the great value of a totally decentralized system we should not take any thing for granted. Ideally, we want to make one major change with a long wish list, to be equal to or better than anyone else. We are committed to be best in class. Our community may start coming up with a wish list. We expect to kick into high gear in development the second half of this year.

If I could have a wish about one thing to change about DNotes, I would want it to be a minting coin, and I would also want there to be opportunities to mint it online via a trusted third party (something like Coinwallet.co) but also have a very well functioning desktop wallet that can also mint it. The DNotes vault currently functions a bit like a minting wallet in the sense that you can gain "interest" on a deposit, but you have to tie up your funds for a long time in order to do that. I would like to see an option where your coins can work for you but with no other strings attached (such as needing to tie them up). I think in this way, even a very small holder can have a stash that grows. Of all the minting coins I have worked with I have to say that Diamond coin does it the best, so if this idea is ever seriously considered I would recommend studying up on how Diamond does it. I can put anyone in touch with the lead developer.

Excellent, Wiser. Joe will start start building a wish list. I strongly encourage everyone to post their  suggestions on what they like to see in a new version of DNotes. You can also PM Joe. We already have a few great ideas but some of them may not be shared until a relaunched. Please be reminded that we normally take our time to do things right. We are allocating the next two years to work on major development. Various feature will be made available along the way. We have a lot of things to get excited about.



Sounds good, I will create a Google doc spreadsheet for everyone to view.

Thank you Wiser, a hybrid of sorts is a serious future consideration. Staking in a way, helps with the node reward issue, as well as a number of other issues.

Wow this book looks like great !! Congrats Alan  Wink  remember plant a tree too.

yesterday mining get burned jack conectors of gridseed blade :S just working at 750 mhz can go to 850 with no problems . so strange. But i got another 2 burned time ago.. i buy 4 at same time, maybe is the quality of conectors i dont know but dig for months without problems, so i need to buy new ac conectors
just keep mining at 1.4 mhash for the while with other asic.

The Gridseed connectors are VERY problematic especially if your talking about the 5 MH/s black units. The connectors are small for the 2 to 3 amps each is expected to handle and, over time, they get brittle and shrink creating a poor connection which, produces ever more heat during operation. More heat makes the plastic shrink and get even more brittle until the whole assemble fails which can cause a real fire. I have 30 of these units and I finally resorted to soldering the power wires directly to the circuit boards.

Also, don't buy the cheap connectors from China offered on eBay, they don't fit well. If you plug in the power connector and it moves around or feels loose, it will burn out after a while. Remember, you are passing upward of 25 watts or more through this little connector originally made for an audio connection or a very low voltage, low current power connection.

SO, if you can solder, do so. If not make sure you have the correct size connector and it fits tightly. Check them often in operation for excessive heat and if you smell smoke, go directly to the Gridseeds for the source!  Shocked

Yeah conectors fits perfect, in the beggining i use 2 miners at 800 850 frequenzy ,, and burn 2 really fast so i low the frequenzy to 700-750 and keep diging few months until other day.

i had found this ones that look like stronger http://www.ebay.es/itm/10-X-DC-POWER-PLUG-12V-VOLT-CCTV-ADAPTOR-CONNECTOR-MALE-2-1MM-X-5-5MM-X-10MM-/221992869398?hash=item33afce5e16:g:aPMAAOSwLN5WlOcU

But really had thought about soldering cables direct to ac conectors but whos yellow and black, if you can link a pic to see how you do it will be great. This is faster way to start run them again.

i had conected by molex conectors, but thinking to use pcie better

Thank you, infovortice2013. It is greatly appreciated. The book is actually very helpful to anyone interested to develop better people skill. Employers hire employees they believe will be the best fit in their work environment and culture. Once hired the leadership focus to inspire and coach the new employees to have the best career path. Together they work to accomplish a common goal - the success of the company. Employees are best taken care of in successful companies; not failing companies. Employees are also happiest when they feel confident of a good career path with the company and that their contributions are acknowledged and appreciated.

By the same token we are free to decide whom we want to be associated. A healthy professional relationship as mentioned in the book is also applicable here. It's all about working well together for the mutual benefit of everyone.

Alan,

Contrats on the book so far! When, and where, will it be available for purchase?



Thank you, RJF. We will be launching it through KickStarter to drum up initial support for the project with a small pre-sell target. Anyone who can support me with a small pledge to buy a copy of the book will be greatly appreciated. The other most helpful thing is an objective book review. We will be releasing more details in the coming days. It may not start out that way, but we intent to have the book available everywhere in paper bag, hard cover, and Ebook format. We believe that the book has mass appeal and will be very heavily promoted.

The book is a key foundation block of our ecosystem. This is the first time we have a serious tool to work with many women business organizations to promote opportunities for women using CryptoMoms and the first time that we have the opportunity to work with many small business owners and their employees - a nice tie in for CRISP For Employee Benefits and CRISP For Retirement. The book is expected to be a significant revenue generator as well as a great PR tool, build great awareness, and credibility for DNotes.

We are working on a new site for the book dedicated to small business owners and other entrepreneurs. It will eventually be a membership subscription site with a variety of resources and contents.

I am a very strong believer of developing and executing great strategies that give us the best chances of accomplishing our missions and strategic vision. It is not always easy for others to understand. We build a solid foundation with a trusted brand, cast a very wide net, develop equal to or better technologies, build momentum, and eventually dominate. This is a long term multi-years strategy. Every thing that we do and much more is mentioned in the book. It is getting very exciting!

If it goes as well as we plan for, we'll have to plant a forest.


Strange you should mention this, a while back I had the idea of planting trees to offset the carbon emissions of our blockchain. I guess great minds think alike!

I seem to remember there was an altcoin that tried that, don't think it worked out in the long run...

' . . . major technical  improvement to DNotes in the future.'

The interplay between the ethos of anti-centralisation and what can be achieved with a little management is fascinating. Dnotes' core community and its devs will triumph if they can strike the right balance. (Heck, the Bitcoin guys can't even paddle their coin of a lee shore!)

Mark

That is correct, Mark. My commitment is to help guide DNotes to strike the right balance to the extent that within three more years DNotes will be and remain as a technology leader in our space. The leadership part is most crucial at the formative stage. That is the primary reason why we believe in taking our time to build a solid foundation and a trusted brand while waiting for the technology to become more matured.

Strategic planning and execution at the right time are vital to business success.
