Firstly, deep breath:

it really really really looks as though Yobit exchange is goin' bad. As a few of you know, IndiaMikeZulu gets around Planet Krypto 'cause we trade a range of coins (as well as our devving). My point is that I trade CBX on Yobit, and other CBX guys and I have been watching the 'slide in zombie-ism' for several weeks: no mod or intelligent responses in the troll box, lots and lots of wallets down, withdrawals not coming through, Support Tickets unanswered.

N.B.: the reason this is no biggie is because Dnotes has a berth a Poloniex. (The CBX guys would sure like a berth at Poloniex!)

So, don't deposit coin at Yobit.

The Four Pillars of Business Success is now available worldwide in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle. It is available on Amazon and soon on many other outlets as well. We are also committing to some major book reviews which will take 5 to 8 weeks. This is a significant accomplishment that will open a lot of doors for DNotes. Developing a close working relationship with business owners and their employees is our pathway to mass adoption of DNotes. We are in this for the long term, building DNotes as the trusted global digital currency with a purpose and a clear vision.

We are a trailblazer, not just "me too" followers. It may not always be easy to understand why we are involved in things other than just DNotes the currency. The book explains that in great details in Chapter 15 - The DNotes Story. It also made mention of DNotes Global, Inc., 25% owned by all of DNotes stakeholders at this time. DNotes Global is the major beneficiary of 85% of the revenue from the book. I will personally be paid 15% in royalty distribution. This is the first revenue stream for the company and it could be very significant, allowing us to fund our R & D and further expansion. DNotes is a real life use case (a truly text book case) of the book. I strongly believe that there isn't any other projects of such purpose and vision worthy of mass support and acceptance. We all need to help get the word out.

Our next phase is to focus on some major R & D projects starting the second half of this year. One of the themes of the book is that we do not participate in anything without a full commitment to be equal to or better than the competition. To accomplish that we must use our very precious time wisely. We will be making an important announcement next week after giving serious consideration to various options on how we can make the best use of our time.

‘ . . . we believe that organizations and institutions that don’t quickly assess the potential of blockchain and begin experimenting with it risk falling behind as the world undergoes what we see as a tectonic shift.’

In the playgrounds of my childhood, if one kid ‘got one up’ on another, she’d go, ‘Nah nah nannah nah!!!’

Well, all you bankers and suchlike --- like the Australian bank that had its complaints section treat me like dirt for 16 weeks over a simple enquiry about blockchain technology -- ‘Nah nah nannah nah!!!’

P.s.: well done, Alan.

"We are all very proud to have watched and been a part where able." I agree totally, it has been inspiring to watch this (and every other DNotes project for that matter) unfold. 

Very well done Alan. We are all very proud to have watched and been a part where able. It is great to see the published book online and for sale. I'm beginning to post it around the place. Now to get it into the hands of all the people who need it most.

This is another successful early step in the campaign - we have more work to do. Can't wait to see what's next.

Hello everyone. Thank you for your support and encouragement to see me through in one of my most important accomplishments. My book is now available on Amazon. It will very soon be available in hard cover, paperback, and Kindle Select.

Kindle will have exclusive distribution rights for the first 90 days. Accordingly, the e-book version will not be available on our site until later. We are aggressively promoting worldwide distribution of this book and believe that it will go a long way as an invaluable guide to business owners and other entrepreneur.

The actual publication of this book is significantly ahead of our schedule, making it unnecessary to continue the Kickstarter campaign. In view of that, we are ending our Kickstarter campaign. You will not be charged for the amount you have pledged. I am most grateful for your support.

If you have a chance to read the book soon, you will be doing me the biggest favor by being one of the first to leave a book review on Amazon. Again, thank you very much for your kind support.
---------------------
The book will be offered by many retailers worldwide. You will be seeing different price points though our MSRP is the same to everyone.

So, that is NYTimes November, 2013 prediction of Bitcoin doomed to fail.

'Thanks to its truly global nature, it has a lower risk of collapse than more traditional investment assets, which depend on the strength of the dollar.'

This has gotta make you wonder about the behind-the-scenes conversations that have been going on since:

' . . . money that is not issued by governments is always doomed to failure.'

Very cool, a first for bitcoin, and a positive move for our industry.

WOW - A Bitcoin IRA was launched today with the chief strategist being non other than Edmund Moy, former Director of the United States Mint.


BitCoinIRA.com Launches Revolutionary “Bitcoin IRA” Investment Product Exclusively for Retirement Accounts

A first-of-its-kind, the “Bitcoin IRA” offered by BitCoinIRA.com, is specifically tailored for inclusion with IRA and 401(k) Plans.

BitCoinIRA.com, a financial conduit pioneering the use of bitcoin as a retirement tool, today announced its official launch of the “Bitcoin IRA.” The company will offer a unique alternative to traditional IRAs for investors who are seeking to diversify their portfolio and protect their retirement savings and 401(k) plans.

Edmund C. Moy, former Director of the United States Mint, serves as the Company’s Chief Strategist, and provides the company with his in-depth knowledge and decades of experience in currency trading and global economic markets.

“Bitcoin is unique in that it’s a completely decentralized currency,” said Moy, who served as the Mint’s 38th Director from 2006-2011. “Thanks to its truly global nature, it has a lower risk of collapse than more traditional investment assets, which depend on the strength of the dollar. I’m thrilled to be working with BitCoinIRA.com at the forefront of this exciting new market.”

The “Bitcoin IRA” is distinct from other bitcoin investment options because it allows investors to possess actual bitcoins from a digital currency exchange in an IRA-designed security wallet. The company is the first to offer real bitcoins as part of a retirement portfolio, as opposed to the more volatile bitcoin-related derivatives such as stocks or exchange-traded funds, which are highly dependent on the strength of the dollar.

“This is a pioneering event in the retirement industry. For the first time ever, IRA owners can hold actual bitcoin in a private and anonymous securitized wallet. This will pave the way for more alternative investments for years to come. We are thrilled to be a part of this moment in history,” says Chris Kline, Chief Operating Officer at BitCoinIRA.com.

To ensure the quality and security of its financial services, BitCoinIRA.com has entered into an exclusive partnership with Palo Alto-based BitGo, the industry leader in blockchain security and multi-signature wallets, which supports over $1 billion worth of transactions every month.

"We are humbled that BitGo's treasury management and policy controls will facilitate the secure storage and safe access of digital currencies for BitCoinIRA.com and its customers. We look forward to the growing use of digital currencies and the portfolio diversification for retail and institutional customers alike," said Jonathan Silverman, Director of Strategic Initiatives for BitGo.

“In these increasingly uncertain economic times, digital currencies like bitcoin will continue to grow in appeal and value,” says Moy. “BitCoinIRA.com offers a way for people to protect themselves against a volatile and unpredictable market.”

Being willing to wait is one of the many good things that sets DNotes apart

It is apparent that the high level of interest to use blockchain technology will continue. Although, I am skeptical if a lot of blockchain projects are justifiable business models, investment in this space will not likely to slow down. The urge to be “me too’ is just too tempting when there is so much press about the subject. From our prospective, sometimes, it’s better to wait a little and let the dust settles so that we can see more clearly. Our R & D will kick into high gears the 2nd half of this year.

Great article on government investment in innovation:


America’s Secret Weapon

This presidential election has the country captivated. As many commentators have pointed out, the primaries are more focused on personalities than policy. While the parties focus on who is going to represent them in the fall, I want to make the case for something that I hope every candidate will agree on in November: America’s unparalleled capacity for innovation. When the United States invests in innovation, it creates companies and jobs at home, makes Americans healthier and safer, and saves lives and fights poverty in the world’s poorest countries. It offers the next president a tremendous opportunity to help people in America and around the world.

Of course, America’s capacity for innovation is nothing new. We have been inventing for more than two centuries: think of Benjamin Franklin, Margaret Knight, Thomas Edison. By the end of World War II, the United States led the world in automobiles, aerospace, electronics, medicine, and other areas. Nor is the formula for success complicated: Government funding for our world-class research institutions produces the new technologies that American entrepreneurs take to market.

Quote From Shepherd Today:

The author of the article, Bill Gates is a true visionary, with immense capabilities to see the big picture clearly. America is the best place in the world to make big bold ideas happened. That is why after considering various options, DNotes Global, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA. We believe that after everything is said and done we are doing the right things, at the right place, and at the right time.

Great graphic Chase.

We are just getting ready for publishing, reaching out and making connections as well.

Nice post, Chase. Thanks.
