We have always believed trust will play a major role in digital currency mass adoption. This is part of the reason we created the DNotesVault and ask users not to store your coins on exchanges if you are not actively trading them.

You can search any exchange and add the word scam to it and find hundreds of scam accusations and problems reported, even the most clearly legitimate ones like coinbase. Not to undermine anyone's real experiences and issues, there are real problems and we intend to help alleviate those issues. I'm sure many of you who have been around for a while can attest, we could fill the forum with stories. For now, all we can do is work with what we got while working toward something better.



That is well said. I see DNotes Vault as big advantage point, compared to most other cryptocurrencies. It is free and easy to use tool to securely store the DNotes coin. At the same time it also enables you to get CRISP reward.

Considering all the scam and also security problems with the exchanges such secure and easy way to store coins is really valuable Wink

Agreed, most users in the future won't even need to worry about exchanges, since they will be able to spend their DNotes in place of fiat. For this next generation of user, the exchange will essentially be nothing more than a valuation tool to decide how much each DNote is worth.

Indeed, the person behind that website is one of our highly-valued supporters and we are very appreciative of their efforts (I'm not sure of their alias if they read or post in this forum). They're very correct though, DNotes is one of the most undervalued cryptocurrencies, and is going to have a very eventful 2018, with an even greater 2019 (as that is when the proceeds from the larger M-IPO will become available). At that juncture you'll see DNotes Global and battling on multiple fronts through the company's various subsidiaries.

Mercatox is shady. No bad experiences with them myself as I have avoided them based on the experiences of others but mercatox has a long history of shady practices that are well documented especially when the price of XRB (now Nano) climbed exponentially in December. People had their coins locked up for months on there. I would not be surprised at all if what you are noticing is very real. I would also advise not using mercatox moving forward.

I'm bummed to hear that. I really hope that it can all be explained by scaling up and other technical issues, but I hear you. I'll keep watching as long as I'm trading there. It still has the best volume for BTC/NOTE. However, I have found that with patience I can buy DNotes a lot cheaper on Stocks.exchange. I'm trading on both.

My verification on Mercatox is pending so I can only withdraw 0.5 BTC every 24 hours, but other than that, I have had no issue with withdrawing either BTC or NOTE. Right now BTC wallet is in maintenance.

The crypto discussion at the Senate subcommittee hearing yesterday is just another reminder of why DNotes' commitment to doing things the right way is going to be so important going forward. Lawmakers and regulators are focusing more attention than ever on this industry, and taking note of legally dubious companies and practices. Meanwhile, the DNotes team has been focused like a laser on complying with laws and regulations - and establishing a reputation of trust and legitimacy that few digital currency projects will be able to match.

This is the type of project that Scott Dueweke was talking about when he suggested that policymakers encourage "the growth of new virtual currencies that are committed to proper compliance with the law." When government eventually moves to rein in the industry's worst impulses, DNotes will be well-positioned to survive and thrive even as others fall by the wayside.

Interestingly regulators worldwide have been slow to apprehend people who are raising capital without basic investor protections. Many capital raises in the space are done under the guise of being "forward-sold goods" or "utility tokens". Even if this were the true intention of the raising business, the economy doesn't focus like that whatsoever. The vast majority of projects build garbage-grade products that have near-zero utility or community support after completion, and 'utility token' buyers invariably treat their purchase as an 'investment' for gain rather than advance payment for goods and services. If this were not the case, we would rarely see any individual buyers acquiring more than $20-50 USD worth of tokens. Instead we see the average buy orders in the thousands of dollars for products with next to no viable use.

98%+ of ICO projects would never be able to successfully raise capital from sophisticated investors through traditional financial markets, since they don't have the trust, credibility, competency, nor experience to pass scrutiny by the SEC and savvy investors.

DNotes of course isn't concerned whatsoever about this, we are putting ourselves through the highest level of investor and regulatory scrutiny through Reg D & Reg A+ offerings because we are certain in the quality that we deliver.


"The vast majority of projects build garbage-grade products that have near-zero utility or community support after completion, and 'utility token' buyers invariably treat their purchase as an 'investment' for gain rather than advance payment for goods and services."

It would be more surprising if they built anything with real value, since so few of those products/projects are based on any real, achievable vision. Most of them are money grabs, pure and simple. In his book, Alan talks about entrepreneurs who start businesses because they see others doing the same thing, and how they usually fail because they're unprepared for the realities of business ownership. They lack vision, strategic thinking, and any purpose beyond the faint hope that they can make money doing what everyone else is doing.

The DNotes approach is decidedly different, with a focus on providing real-world benefits to real people. Real quality. Real trust. A real strategy, and the very real leadership needed to make these things happen so that digital currency can finally fulfill its promise and potential. All done the right way, at the right time, and for the right reasons.

So I had another Mercatox moment today. A few hours ago I placed a limit buy order of 25,000 DNotes for 620 Satoshi. At the time there was a standing sell order of 400 DNotes for 620 Satoshi. So as soon as I placed the order I immediately bought 400 DNotes and that eliminated all sell orders for 620. Not too long after that, A sell of 25,084.1 DNotes at 620 Satoshi executed. But not one bit of my standing limit order at that price was filled. It still sits on the order book at 24,600 DNotes for 620 Satoshi and it might never fill because the price has been going nowhere but up all day. Since placing that order triggered the standing sell order to fill, I would think that meant my order was first in line. But instead, some other order filled first, and mine still sits there waiting.

How is this explained by technical difficulties?

I see no other orders for 620 Satoshi and haven't for hours. As far as I know, my order is the only one, and if there were invisible orders, mine had to be first. And yet, it wasn't the first to fill when someone else sold more than the amount I'd ordered at that price.

I feel like I'm playing by a set of rules I do not understand. Is anyone else trading on Mercatox? Could you share some insight?

How is this explained by technical difficulties?

Depends how orders are filled. If you don't specify in which order orders are filled, they could fill in any order or default to newest to oldest. However I'm not arguing your issues are technical, the only ones who would truly know is mercatox. I do not see how an exchange would benefit from doing this intentionally either. I am just offering an alternative explanation that may not be so nefarious.

I would recommend opening a support ticket to explain your experiences. This link seems to be working.
https://support.mercatox.com/


Thanks for the insight, and I'm really not trying to be a party pooper. Just observed some strange (to me) exchange behavior, and I will choose to take the view that these are unintentional technical things. I hear what you were saying earlier about it taking a lot "under the hood" to make an exchange truly work properly especially when lots of people are using it at the same time. I'm really looking forward to the DNotes Global exchange Smiley

There was a very brief flash crash before the price just went up by another 100 Satoshi, so in the end I got those orders filled and I'm already in profit.

Thanks for the link to support--it works. I will open up a ticket if I have any more trouble.

DNotes
Wondering what DNotes is all about? Here’s the basics:

What is DNotes?
•   DNotes is a digital currency with a purpose: to serve as a real currency that people can use in their daily lives - unlike other digital currencies that focus on solving niche problems, with no plan to become a real, usable currency.
•   The DNotes goal is simple: achieve mass adoption and become the world’s first accessible, inclusive, and financially empowering digital currency that benefits everyone around the globe.

What are DNotes’ Benefits as a Currency?
•   DNotes is managed as a business – but not controlled as one.
•   DNotes success is driven by a profit-generating company, DNotes Global, created to promote mass adoption, protect the currency, and ensure sustainable growth.
•   DNotes’ unique CRISP savings program rewards DNotes owners with 0.5% interest, every month
•   DNotes offers staking rewards for stakeholders – at 2% a year.
•   DNotes provides blockchain invoicing features to simplify merchant acceptance and adoption of the digital currency.

What Benefits Does DNotes Global Provide?
DNotes Global protects DNotes and its stakeholders, promotes mass adoption, and creates value and utility for the digital currency, including a fully integrated ecosystem.
The company provides a unique cross-ownership model, with DNotes owning 25% of DNotes Global (pre-dilution), while the for-profit business maintains a stake in the digital currency.
DNotes Global generates profit, creating intrinsic value for the DNotes currency to help create a “floor” for the digital currency’s value.
DNotes Global has plans to build a long-term competitive advantage by offering services that utilize DNotes. That strategy will also help to facilitate awareness and adoption of the DNotes currency.
Long term competitive advantage DNotes Global will provide in offering services that utilize DNotes.

What’s Next?
Fully compliant Reg D 506 (c) crowdfunding followed by a Reg A+ Mini-IPO.
DNotes Payment Solution Integration into Existing eCommerce Platforms
Cold Staking Implementation & More

I have been on a vacation for a week now with limited access to internet, and now when I came back I have checked the price of DNotes and have seen that it has increased nicely Grin While most of other coins are still decreasing in price I think that this increase is really good sign for DNotes Cool Grin

Thanks Amadeus82, hope you are having a good vacation. I consider DNotes as still getting re-established on the exchanges after the recent upgrade and gaining more traction by the day. I believe you are correct, DNotes showing signs of growth in an industry downtrend is a really good sign.

DNotes has certainly found itself a unique choke point to post up on. Even for crypto billionaires, large numbers on a screen will mean nothing if they can't get that money back into the larger legitimate economy and spend it.

Our node operators are doing a great job keeping the DNotes network stable, and it looks like support for the software has grown. Right now DNotes has 87 peers/nodes with 54 connections in the last 24 hours, and we are operational in 26 different countries. Compare that with Stratis, who has a market cap of 224 million, is operating in 33 different countries and has 173 nodes, with 125 active connections in the last 24 hours.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/

This is pretty good since DNotes 2.0 was forked from Stratis not too long ago. Let's look at the current market cap ratios of some other forked cryptocurrencies vs the currency they forked from:

Forked Currency (Market Cap) - Original Chain (mkt cap) = Fork to Original Chain Market Cap Ratio
Ethereum (43.5 b) -  Ethereum Classic (1.5 b) = 29x
Bitcoin Cash (11.8 b) - Bitcoin (103.7 b) = 0.11x
Monero  (2 b) - Bytecoin  (466.8 m) = 4.2x
Stratis (224 m) - Blackcoin (9.1 m) = 24.6x

I would call this data inconclusive but interesting nonetheless. Perhaps in one year the DNotes to Stratis market cap ratio will be the same as Stratis' is to Blackcoin right now and we can start making some definitive conclusions  Cool

That's a good point wiser. I've often considered that many people may just choose to live off the interest paid out by the DNotes network, and perhaps their staking rewards too in the future. That said, I think it would generally be people closer to retirement would be more excited by those types of opportunities. I think in the case of younger investors, they may well be looking to reap as many years of compounding interest as possible. 

That's just another one of DNotes' great benefits. Different people have different needs and desires, so it's important to provide them with the flexibility  to choose the options that help them achieve their individual goals. With interest-earning and staking rewards, DNotes stakeholders have real choices about how to manage and benefit from their holdings.

What’s really exciting is that, IMO, most of the Dnotes float is being held tightly by serious investors and will more than likely stay that way until market buys reflect what Dnotes is truly worth.  If I’m correct, we could see a major upswing in the worth of Dnotes relatively soon.  With almost 100 mil coins in the Vault, 20 million held by Dnotes Global and most likely a bunch of coins tucked away in personal wallets, leaves maybe 20 million on exchanges.  If deep pocket investors want to buy Dnotes, which I’m sure they will, they will have to up the buy price quite a bit from current levels to get them.  It’s really been quite a ride owning Dnotes for the past couple years, and it is just getting started!

Since DNotes introduced proof of stake and CRISP earnings about three months ago, there's another DNotes investment model to consider: DNotes holders hang onto their "principal" DNotes and only sell the earnings from staking and CRISP. And it would be those "interest earnings" that the deep pocketed investors are all competing for.

And this isn't even taking into account the solid future plans of an entire ecosystem where DNotes can be spent to buy real products and wouldn't even have to be exchanged into fiat first.
