 What a great team! A few of you have already been working very hard, gaining a lot of ground for DNotes before we our kickoff campaign has even started. You guys are my inspiration. We can be just as successful doing things the honest way. We just have to work harder and wait for our turn. It is not where we are at this point in time but where we are going from here that matters. We are going for the finishing line! That is the power of the Unity of Strength! I am certain we got it. Join the campaign and make us all proud.

With some really intense voting tonight, we have the power to pass 3 or 4 coins on Mintpal.

If she can get the most votes it gets accepted for sale on woot, proceeds help keep us mining and supporting, and living :-)

All you need is an woot.com account and to have bought at least one item, at any time in that accounts history and then you can vote every Derby.

I'm doing a little research on DNotes distribution worldwide and would like to know what country everyone is from other than those from U.S. and Canada.  If you don't want to post it here (even though I think everyone would love to know), could you please send me a message.  Thank you!

Oh, ok. Great!

Was looking at the explorer. It has updated now.

What block are you on?

No blocks for 30 minutes?  

or

No blocks for 2.5 hrs?

Is everything ok?

Since Mintpal will be DNotes largest exchange to date, it makes sense that every member of the community has an account there.  If you deposit .001 Bitcoin (about 60 cents), you can buy multiple orders of a thousand or more Mintcoin, etc.  This should give you the trading history required to vote.  If you are reading this and all you can say is "Bah Humbug", don't worry, because Mintpal also has a cheaper Litecoin market where you can buy Grumpycoin. 


VOTE DNOTE

Quick Updates:

1. As of 7:15 this morning, (CST) 370 individual accounts have claimed their free DNotes at C-Cex.

2. Mintpal votes for DNotes is now at 1,757 up from 1,646, 24 hours ago. We can use a lot more help from our community.

3. Early indicators of DNotes dumping drying up have been observed at both Poloniex and AllCoin.  This may take another week of confirmation before a sustainable up trend can be expected.  Should it happen, expect the next support level of a higher low to be around 300 Satoshi. Slow and steady sustainable uptrend is the most favorable path for DNotes.

It works. I just got my 50 free DNotes. I was #104. Going fast. 896 to go.

Hell, no!! I don't let any other car drive in front of mine for long, unless it's a police car, LOL.

Great idea

We appreciate the exchanges who are responsive and supportive towards DNotes and we will running a number of giveaways on those exchanges as a result over the next couple of weeks. Here is the first one, claim your DNotes at C-Cex.
https://c-cex.com/?id=giveaway

I have an idea that will speed up getting onto Mintpal.  Every time you vote, look very closely at the coin that is ahead of DNotes and remember that the guy driving that coin thinks he is a better driver than you!!!

Looks like it. Among many other strategic goals, DNotes is specifically established for serious long term investors, both large and small. I have no doubt that more and more large investors are keeping a close eye on DNotes. Smart investors do not just drop money everywhere and hope they get lucky with one or two of them. They rather take their time to stay on the sideline, even at the cost of having to pay a higher price. They could also start out with a small investment and see if we do deliver on our claims. Their optimal investment time is measured in years, not months or days.

The DNotes team is very committed to meeting measurable timelines and quantifiable goals.  We also do not broadcast details of projects we are working on until they have been fully tested and ready to be launched. This will be another clear indicator that DNotes is not a pump and dump. It is a value play for long term appreciation.

We monitor our trading range of higher highs and higher lows very closely. Our large stake holders clearly understand the importance of supporting the higher low trend line or the floor. This is DNotes value stability line. Be very attentive to it. As an example, our current floor or higher low is at 200 Satoshi. Sell orders below 200 Satoshi eaten up quickly is a great sign that it is just taking time to digest an over supply of DNotes being dumped. Once the excessive inventory of DNotes from weak hands has been cleared, the upward trend will continue. The next higher low will eventually settles at a point higher than the last higher low. Understanding the confidence and sentiment of our stake holders is another area we monitor closely.

Having DNotes listed on Mintpal exchange by September 15, 2014 should be taken very seriously by our community. This is will be viewed as a test of our community strength and commitment.  Our social media campaign will officially kick-off on June 25 next week.  Give it your best support. We also like to see our community participate more actively in this forum.

Especially Alts with good management, active Devs, high visibility, a workable business plan and lots of community support... Oh, that's Dnotes isn't it?  

This means they will be taking a very close look at sleeping giants that are just waking up. 

Check this out. I just came across this after my post. The flood gate is about to open.



Pantera Bitcoin Fund SEC Filing Reveals $96 Million Investment
June 14, 2014
https://www.rapidcx.com/blog/pantera-bitcoin-fund-sec-filing-reveals-96-million-investment

In a recent Form D notice filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the San Francisco based hedge fund Pantera Capital disclosed that their Bitcoin fund has raised more than $96 million USD from 45 investors [1]. The investment firm focuses exclusively on digital currencies and related companies in the sector. Pantera Capital shareholders include influential venture capital firms such as Benchmark, Fortress, and Ribbit Capital.

Background
In the United States, private companies often take advantage of a Form D filing because it allows them to raise investor funds while bypassing the traditional SEC approval process. Traditional SEC filings are a notoriously drawn-out process which firms tend to avoid unless necessary. To put it in perspective, the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust has been pending since its initial filing back in July of 2013 [2]. While this approach will prevent the shares from being publicly traded, it does imply that the fund is open-ended and has plans to continue growing.

This news confirms the Bitcoin community's growing suspicion that institutional investors are starting to accept the validity of the digital currency. According to the document, the first sale occurred October 2, 2013. This suggests that the $96 million USD worth of Bitcoin was purchased sometime within the last 8 months and may not entirely be responsible for Bitcoin’s recent surge in price. This is not Pantera Capital’s first investment surrounding Bitcoin. In 2013, the firm invested $10 million USD into Bitstamp -- a popular Bitcoin exchange [3].

What does this mean for alt-coins?
According to the Pantera Capital website, the firm also has their eyes on other digital currencies outside of Bitcoin [4]. While this isn’t the first case of venture capital funds taking notice of alt-coins, it certainly is an interesting distinction to note because alt-coins have largely been neglected by traditional investors (and often companies already in the Bitcoin space). With the spectacular rise of coins like Darkcoin, perhaps the alt-coin economy has caught the attention of large Bitcoin speculators.

Fun Fact: Alt-coins make up 7.5% of the current $9.1 billion cryptocurrency market.

Let us know what you think. Are mainstream investors finally beginning to take notice of the lucrative $680 million USD alt-coin market?

Note: It should be noted that the term "investors" does not necessarily imply individuals. According to the SECs definition of "accredited investors", the funds could have been raised from banks, insurance companies, investment companies, employee benefit plans, etc.

Understanding the Complexity of Crypto Currency
A System Approach


A brief understanding of the dynamics of DNotes’ management, business, and strategic philosophies may provide some appreciation why DNotes is uniquely positioned as measured against its peers.  We deliberately examine challenges and opportunities from both a macro and a micro prospective. We use a system approach to identify the strength and weakness of its parts as they are, as well as how and when to position ourselves to best exploit them. We identify current weakness, and decide where we want to participate or simply wait for others to perfect what they have already started, especially if we are convinced that they are on the right track. Perhaps most important of all, we identify the important missing parts that must be created and perfected before digital currency can become mainstream in global commerce. That is our main focus and why DNotes is branded as “The Digital Currency of the Future with Lasting Value.”

We all know what is a system; such as the ecosystem, system of the crypto currency. We even know of many subsystems that make up of our ecosystem, such as the miners, exchanges, and Developers. What we don’t normally do is to constantly examine the whole while designing a part to best fit the system. We believe that there is a huge advantage, as in the case of DNotes, to take a system approach from day one to build a solid foundation with a very clear mission, consistent messaging, and accurate branding. With a clearly defined path, coupled with the best knowledge of what it takes to get there will absolutely give DNotes the best chances to be one among a handful to reach the finishing line.

Like anything else, it is usually much more demanding, costly, and time consuming to do things right. Everyone will agree that to be successful in our industry, we need a strong community. Those of you who have participated in different forums may also agree that the presence of strong management and leadership verse the lack of them are very apparent in atmosphere and messaging. We strongly believe that sound management, with dedicated leadership along with reliable funding to build and lead a strong productive community with due respect and earnest appreciation is another significant strength of DNotes.

It is exceedingly clear that digital currency is here to stay. Professional fund mangers, large investors, venture capital funds, banks, credit and debit card companies and others are beginning to realize that they can not afford to miss the opportunity to participate in this vital technology revolution in human history. We believe that it is significantly bigger and much more complex than Internet. What is holding them back is the chaotic state of our industry with widespread dishonesties, rampant false claims, and immature conducts among many other turnoffs. DNotes is a rare breed. It is a diamond in the rough and perhaps the best kept secret of our industry. Maintaining a low profile to building a solid foundation while refining our messaging and tactical strategies is an integral part of our business plan.

For the records, phase two of our business plan is scheduled to beginning on July1st, 2014. Although, this phase involves achieving a number of goals and objectives, the most visible to the general public will be our dedicated effort to promote awareness of DNotes through multiple fronts, utilizing social media, traditional PR and other means.  We will continue to build stake holders value and expect DNotes to appreciate in value significantly in the coming months. Securing a top 50s position in market cap, as well as being listed on Mintpal Exchange by September 15, 2014 are among our highest priorities.

We strongly encourage our community give us their very best efforts to stage their own campaign in getting every vote for DNotes possible. This is our best opportunity to alert the rest of our industry and potential investors that this sleeping giant is waking up.

To volt for DNotes at Mintpal you need a registered account with a trading history. For convenience you can change your "default" 45 minutes auto-Lockout to 24 hours (User Name, sub-tab: Profile). To avoid an error message, you may need to "reload" or "refresh" each time you returned to vote. This will take a huge community effort. Please give us your best support. Thanks.
