amazing articles congrats !!

yeah i think too dcebrief cant ignore other altcoins, but selection of which altcoin must appear will be hard, someones can complement DNotes and not compete, so i think this ones are the best to explain to readers just like examples of how dinamic blockchain industry is.

By the way, if anyone has a topic they would like covered on DCEBrief. I'm gathering up a few now to send out to the writers. This is an open invitation if you think of anything in the future as well, feel free to post it here or send me an email.

I would like to see a DNotes year in review type of article. Recap what has happened this and what's next.

+1

Would also be good to recap a few other prominent (or promising) altcoins--ones I would recommend are NEU, DMD, PIGGY, XEM. XPY would also make for a very interesting article because that coin has made a major recovery from its origins as basically a scam coin to cover up a mining hardware scam. XPY is now a legit coin with a lot of challenges up ahead, but with a very good dev team which has gone above and beyond the call of duty and done something few in the cryptospace have done. Disclosure: I own strong positions in all these altcoins (including DNotes Smiley )


Great ideas all! An altcoin one might be tough because of the volume of information and we don't want to be too biased. I'll have to give that some thought.

You'd have to cover highlights about each coin so it's not too much and provide links to relevant websites or forum threads for those who want more information. As for bias, I figure the best thing is to be positive about each coin. The real bias would be in which coins you select to cover. I wouldn't cover a coin unless you thought it had potential. Even then, you won't be able to cover all of them. You could come up with some screening criteria, such as coin needs to be at least a year old (that will avoid inadvertently covering the quick death ones), a minimal USD or BTC marketcap (sustained for a certain amount of time)--basic metrics that indicate a strong coin vs. a weak one. I could probably come up with a few more that aren't strictly numerical as well Smiley

I think what it boils down to is the research time needed. My time spent keeping up on the latest in the alt space is limited these days. Though I/we do want to support positive industry efforts regardless of where they come from. I am still interested in hearing from your experience about what you like about these coins.

Yes, I really should write that up.

An option to save time would be to ask the devs to submit their own write-ups, and then verify the information. Usually people involved in a coin are pretty familiar with its history.

We like to be supportive of other Altcoins, but need to approach it with caution. We could consider an article covering Altcoins in general with mention of a selected few. Beyond that, we need to be very careful with our selection, with a tight vetting process. I do plan to reach out to a few of them when I am caught up with my writing project.

Yes, I agree. By only having a select few altcoins, people would be saying favoritism was in play even if not true. I think articles will be just fine and that way DCEBrief will remain unbiased all the way around.

Just dropping in briefly to say hello. Now that the price of Bitcoin made a nice comeback there is a lot more love for Bitcoin from the mainstream media.

I love the headline.

Bitcoin Won 2015. Apple ... Did Not
 
This year has been awash with financial and business intrigue and excitement. Here, then, are my awards for the most fascinating stories of 2015, with the added bonus that the qualifying events have implications that will reverberate into 2016 and beyond. ................

COMEBACK OF THE YEAR -- BITCOIN

Bitcoin was the world's worst-performing currency in 2014, losing more than 57 percent of its value against the dollar. This year, the digital currency extolled by some as a technological escape route from government's snooping into our financial affairs tops the league tables. It's gained almost 40 percent, knocking the Somali shilling into second place, the Gambian dalasi into third, and the Burundi franc to a distant fourth spot:

LEMON OF THE YEAR -- APPLE WATCH

I number myself among Apple's fans, with a long (and expensive) history of buying iPods, iMacs, iPads and iPhones on their first, second and then third iterations. (I even owe my first job to a cursory acquaintance with the Apple Mac in the 1980s, back when Microsoft and the PC ruled supreme.) So this year's launch of the Apple Watch was a thoroughly discouraging affair, almost as depressing as the boring film about the fall and rise of Steve Jobs, creator of the world's biggest company.

In fact, the watch, Apple Pay and Apple TV are all disappointments. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook won't even reveal what demand for the timepiece has been, for fear of giving away valuable market information (his argument) or because the numbers are an embarrassment (I know which explanation I favour). The iPhone contributed 66 percent of Apple's fiscal 2015 revenue, up from 50 percent in 2012;

' . . . recap a few other prominent (or promising) altcoins . . . '

I think a pivotal metric -- certainly the one around which IndiaMikeZulu analyses circle -- is categories of alts.* Just as examples:

One: 'outwards-focussed' cryptos -- Dnotes is a category of one.

Two: the 2.0s, which are gonna trounce all complacent 1.0s.** [PM me, and I'll give you a prime example of a complacent 1.0.]

Three: the stealth coins: the Two Futures of Cryptos are compliant and libertarian. If things get ugly, stealth coins will do very well.

*There was a day, early 2014, I think, when six of the first forty-two cryptos on CMC were 'country coins.' Today? none.
**And beyond 2.0? PM me!

But I popped in this morning to launch the crypto buzz-phrase of 2016: 'zero-knowledge systems':

https://news.bitcoin.com/banks-will-lose-ground-2016-fintech-bitcoin

Nota bene: I take no personal responsibility whatsoever for the appalling prose of the article.


I had to laugh at this part:

One paragragh starts with the sentence "Banks are also not taking cash from hard working citizens..." and the following sentence states "Cannabis entrepreneurs are finding it very difficult to deal with traditional banking institutions...".  Really??  Hard working citizen = cannabis entrepreneur??

Welcome to the new normal I suppose...  Shocked

I think the story in this thread may be worth covering in DCEBrief. The point I see that is often missed by the highly myopic (Bitcoin only) publications is that the Bitcoin block chain is neither the only block chain out there, nor is it the only one banks are interested in. The thread is mostly about how a number of Japanese banks are using the technology underlying the NEM system for their own private block chains. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't other coin's block chains out there that are attracting corporate interest, though NEM is the only one I know about so far.

Thanks Mark! The leaking of personal information and banks rights to deny or suspend service to individuals are certainly advantages for cryptocurrency, leading us towards 'zero-knowledge systems'. I can see that buzz word catching on.
