Topic: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - Celebrating DNotes 3rd Birthday - Forum Now Open - page 419. (Read 814563 times)

We deeply appreciate your confidence in DNotes. The DNotes community is very proud to learn that FF4DC has selected DNotes as the preferred currency. We have great respect for first responders and will be delighted to support your good cause at every opportunity.

I will personally make myself available to meet with interested individuals or groups, including speaking engagements, within driving distance of 100 miles from Chicago, and share my vision on the future of digital currency. I will also be posting an article, in the next couple of weeks, on the advantages of incorporating digital currency in fund raising for first responders. There is a huge potential windfall to use at stable currency with reliable appreciating value, such as DNotes as a store of value.

Thank you CryptoBroker79. Congratulations on reaching over 500 registered members and good luck on your advertising campaign.

FireFighters for Digital Currency has taken out a sponsored Facebook ad that will run until midway through September, at which point we will do a detailed analysis and re-assess the intensity level our advertising campaign. Just a reminder for everyone, DNotes is the preferred currency of FF4DC!

Wow! 100 pages in six months?  There should be a different yardstick just for DNotes, Lol.

Thanks. I am humbled.

The most important thing I have learned from you is this: If you are willing and able to do things others can not, or will not, you will succeed, no matter what the setting. This applies to individuals, companies, and any group effort.

You have taught me hundreds, if not thousands of principals, both personal and bussiness. This one "rule" stands out among all the others.

New Update on Mintpal Voting:

As of 12:52 pm (CST) DNotes has received 28,077 votes, an overwhelming lead of 6,345 votes over our closest competitor. Keep voting.

Great team work has the ability to allow common people to attain uncommon results. DNotes’ inherent strength is our commitments to go the extra mile in doing things others can not or will not do. This is our theme for success. We are willing to work harder and wait longer to do things right. Great job!

As of 1200 hrs EST, 8/12/14, DNotes is currently #1 on MintPal's voting list with over 600 votes separating us from the next coin, BitCoinTalk! Time to step up the pressure even more, we now need to hold #1 for the rest of August.

Way to go people!!!!

EDIT: Just saw this already posted but, I'll leave it up anyway! 

You are correct. A lot of the hard work we are putting in is “waiting to be valued”. That is done by design to make the price of DNotes more stable. When the unknowns are not priced in, DNotes is more likely to be under valued. Should the price of DNotes declines to the extend of reaching the last higher low, our stake holders are a lot more confident in acquiring more DNotes for long term investment, confident that over time the value will be reflected resulting in a long-term gain of their investments. When the demand curve is reversed, the up trend continues. For this model to work best, the value of DNotes must be supported by strong fundamentals. Specifically, we cannot over- promise and under-deliver.  It is also risky for us to prematurely announce or launch products that have not been successfully tested.  We are making every attempt to avoid DNotes being priced to perfection, as there are always factors become our control that could have a negative impact.

Price stability and reliable appreciating value are the biggest challenges confronting the mass adoption of digital currencies. These include Bitcoin, DNotes and other Altcoins. There is a lack of understanding and appreciation for the three most important functions of digital currency to work well (unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value). To be continued:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been following DNotes since launch.we have a highly qualified team working on multiple projects deemed essential in meeting our strategic objectives.All waiting to be valued.
Thanks  for you hard working!Dyna!

We are indeed #1 on Mintpal voting list. Thanks for the great efforts. Do not take anything for granted. Keep voting. If DNotes ended up with an all time high record, that is another achievement to be proud of.

DNotes's policy is not to disclose specifics on projects we are working or details of our development team. What I can tell you is that we have a highly qualified team working on multiple projects deemed essential in meeting our strategic objectives. However, there is an internal discussion as to whether it is appropriate to officially introduce our Lead Developer as part of our next press release in the next sixty days. To ensure that DNotes is the most stable digital currency, our strategic preference is for DNotes to be valued based on what has been delivered and not what we hope to deliver at some point in the future.

P.S. This post has been edited at the request of our Development Team's preference to remain low profile.

dyna!We are #1 on list of mintpal!we can exchange next week on mintpal!

You can tell us  how many peoples are Our development team of dnotes,And who they are!¬?

This is a fascinating subject, but rather tricky to accurately comment on. It is not exactly correct that no one is in charge or that there is no leadership. Since Bitcoin, and all other altcoins, including DNotes, is not owned by a single individual, group, state, or nation; so legally, no one is in charge or obligated to. This can be best labeled as “ownership at will” Hence, one can be a day trade or a long term investor with complete freedom to change ownership position without notice. This makes it nearly impossible for any altcoins to have sustainable stability. The fact that DNotes has been consistently stable is quite an accomplishment. Can it hold up over time is my challenge of the day, everyday. Having the leadership to constantly address this issue has certainly been an advantage.

The community is charge, sometime with additional help from a more formal organization, the foundation. The community can best be described as a group of individuals interested to promote and protect their self interest, in this case, their investment. As they interact with one another, one or more among them become informal leaders expected to lead in different areas. Altcoins thrive or fail by their community. They all claimed at one time or another that they have a strong community. The DNotes team recognized this as a serious weakness right at the onset. We too believe that a strong community is very important. However, what is even more important is a long term leadership commitment to provide strategic directions and funding. This allows DNotes to be managed like a real world business where someone is in charge with dependable long term leadership and strategic directions. We strategize, prioritize, plan, motivate, direct, coordinate, exploit, evaluate and make adjustments, among many things capable leaders do. Dedicated long term leadership commitment with adequate funding is critical to our success, allowing DNotes to do things others can’t or wouldn’t do.

I would venture to say that Bitcoin has done reasonably well under its current model of “No one is in charge.” Sometimes, poor leadership can be more damaging. That is another subject, perhaps for another day. All things being equal, organized groups with a good leader will out perform other groups with no leadership or poor leadership.

The high rate of failure in our industry is troubling. Perhaps being decentralized with no one in charge is a major contributor. This is an interesting subject for further discussion.

I have known about the structure of Bitcoin since I first got involved with it last year, but it wasn't until I saw "nobody is in charge" in writing a while ago, that my eyes were really opened up as to how unusual this really is.  The rest of my post is just my mind wondering and wandering - how will Bitcoin fare and compare with the leadership model for business we are all used to.

From Cryptomoms:


Quote from: Chase on Today at 01:35:03 PM
Bitcoin Fact:   Nobody is in charge!

Considering all successful major businesses ( and countries for that matter) in the world have very strong leadership, it makes me wonder how Bitcoin will fare with the way it is structured.


It has been a while since I last actively participated in Cryptomoms’s forum. I will start devoting more time supporting Cryptomom and DNotes soon. In the meantime, I just can’t skip over this leadership issue Chase alerted our attention to. I am not sure where Chase read about it. This is factual, well known, and well regarded as one of the important principals of the decentralized digital currency not controlled or owned by a single individual, group, state or nation. I will be covering these concepts in one of my future posts.


http://www.vox.com/cards/bitcoin/who-is-in-charge-of-bitcoin:

Who is in charge of Bitcoin?
No one is in charge of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin network is based on the consensus of everyone who participates in it. The rules of the Bitcoin game give everyone on the network an incentive to follow the rules that were established by Bitcoin’s founder Satoshi Nakamoto.
The standard Bitcoin software is an open source project. It is managed by Gavin Andresen, a computer programmer who was nominated for the role by Nakamoto. But not everyone on the Bitcoin network uses this software. Others have developedindependent Bitcoin implementations, and people are free to modify the official Bitcoin client for their own purposes.
Andresen is an employee of the Bitcoin Foundation, a non-profit organization that is the closest thing Bitcoin has to a public face. But while the foundation often represents the views of the Bitcoin community, it doesn’t have any formal authority over the Bitcoin network.

DNotes will be six months old on August 18, 2014. When DNotes reached the age of 5 years old on February 18, 2019 Digital Currency will be a mainstream currency in global commerce with DNotes being the preferred currency. When baby Lily is ready to apply for admission to the best college of her time in 2031, at cost over $1 million she will find out that she has more than enough funds in her Baby Dnotes account to pay for it. That is the mentality of the DNotes' team and its community. We are designed to survive the test of time. We are not just a test of concept, which the author implied that many of the alt coins are. Sad reading.

And here I thought the purpose of a new altcoin everyday was to drive people like me crazy...

Surely there must be a better way - like a coin I.Q. test before launch!

Agreed. Don't take anything for granted. Keep voting. As always, we are very appreciative of your efforts and support.

DNotes is second on Mintpal voting, and it appears as though we'll be listed in just over a week. However we shouldn't become complacent and leave any chance for someone to catch up, so keep voting as much as possible.

Thanks. This is very helpful for people with a smart phone but have not activitated 2FA. Once you get that procress started you will find that it is not that complicated. This additional layer of security is extremely important. Be sure to add a backup smart number if one is available.
