What a great memory. It's so valuable in this industry to have long term relationships. That's as much part of the solidity of this project as the great concept and even the new partnership with Geneca. No matter how "trustless" we can make the technology, ultimately you can't completely remove the trust factor, and honestly I wouldn't want to

When I met Alan for the first time, way back in 2001, he was using this funny little “computer” (the DTR). It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I had hired a consulting company, way back in 2001, and Alan was the consultant they had sent out from Chicago. I hired him again, twice, once in 2002, and once in 2004. He was still using that funny little PC, hooked to a Cannon portable printer. I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of copies he printed on that thing, but I know he printed thousands of copies off of it just for me. I will never forget the day I met Alan. I knew, before those three days he spent with me were up, that I HAD to get to know this man better. I could see the genuis in this man. I knew that together, we could, and would, change the world. That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Now, Alan is one of my dearest friends, my closest advisor, and mentor. We met Joe a few years later, and the rest is history, the greatest part of which has still not been written...........(in other words, the best is yet to come!!)

The white paper is still being refined.

Not sure if this question was asked. Is there road map  ? Active developers ? & white paper

Interesting. This is now becoming a word game - asset, property, commodity, currency, cryptocurrency, virtual currency, digital currency? Anything thing else? No wonder Grandma is confused!

Israel’s Central Bank: Cryptocurrencies are Assets, Not Currency

Bank of Israel Deputy Governor Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg sought to clarify the central bank’s position on digital currency Monday, in remarks offered at a parliamentary finance committee meeting. According to a Reuters report, she said that the central bank does not recognize cryptocurrencies as currencies:

“The Bank of Israel’s position is that they should be viewed as a financial asset.”

Baudot-Trajtenberg addressed several cryptocurrency-related issues in her remarks, including public complaints about Israeli banks that have been reluctant to allow clients to use their accounts for Bitcoin purchases. She suggested that the central bank could offer no solutions for those customers, and that Israel’s government had no legal obligation to help digital currency investors.

The Deputy Governor did confirm that the Bank of Israel is continuing to investigate cryptocurrency matters, though she noted that there were few global examples for the bank to study. To date, the world’s central banks have yet to even attempt to regulate the banking industry’s interactions with the digital currency space. According to Baudot-Trajtenberg,

“There is a real difficulty in issuing sweeping guidelines to the system regarding the proper way to estimate, manage, and monitor the risks inherent in such activity. Beyond the risks to the customer there are also compliance risks to the bank.”

Committee members who attended the meeting reportedly called on the nation’s regulators to craft a regulatory framework to help provide guidance for the industry. The panel’s chairman, Moshe Gafni, asked regulators to provide the committee with regulatory ideas within the next month.

Still have mine, still works!

While nothing is truly unstoppable, I have to say we are close. An even better metric then the market cap is adoption of crypto in general. If you read the recent news about Bittrex and several other exchanges temporarily halting new user signups, you can see where this is going. I think it was Bittrex that was seeing 250,000 new accounts creations a day. Yes, 250k in each 24hr period. Three other exchanges have also paused new signups due to 75,000 to 80,000 new signups daily. That is the statistic that shows me we may have obtained critical mass.

A few selected comments from the video.

I bought a DTR-1 from Heartland for $849 and absolutely loved it despite all of its limitations. I was the only person in my high school in 1994-ish who could pull a keyboardless tablet PC out of my book bag. It felt like holding the future. I still remember the feel of the textured plastic case and the fun of pulling the sliding cover off to reverse it to protect the screen during transport. The keyboard was tiny and terrible, but I still kind of enjoyed it. I would probably still pull the DTR-1 out every now and then to play with today but the PS/2 keyboard port broke off the motherboard and the whole thing became pretty useless. Good memories though. Downloaded a lot of, uh... files... from Usenet with the built-in 9.6k dial-up modem.

Look, by today's standards, it sucks but this was space age technology back in 1993. We're talking about an age where desktop computers were considered very high tech devices. Having a device that had a touch-screen, was portable and had a two hour battery life (when most mobile phones couldn't last that much) was extraordinary. Maybe it wasn't built up to proper standards (therefore, being a failure) but the idea behind it, what it could achieve was extraordinary. In 2017, a $25 tablet is better yet in 1993, this was years before its time.

Alan has a book out now called "The Four Pillars of Business Success". I wonder if it makes any reference to this? His LinkedIn profile is rather interesting to look at.

I picked up one of these at a hamfest in 1995 or so, supper cheap. I think I had to track down a suitable power supply, probably from Radio Shack. I managed to get the hard drive running by installing it in another computer and loading up Windows. I'm not exactly sure where I got the Pen utilities from but it seemed to work fine. It became my control center for my X-10 home automation system and worked very well in that role for a few years.

Seems like Dauphin was ahead of their time. They had the right ideas, the technology of the time just wasn't up to the task.

Well as much of a joke as it is today , this is an important PC as it is the first Tablet PC it is amazing to think the technology existed to make a tablet back in 93 when most people myself included did not even own a PC as they were very expensive , here in the UK where im from the cheapest desktops in 93 started at £ 800 i did not get my first PC till 1998 when prices came down to a more sensible £400 lol

I don't know if it was the same or not, but I remember seeing a very similar computer back in 1995 when a group of American technicians came aboard our ship to test some of the onboard ASW systems. Unfortunately my memory of the exact computers is not the best, it's been over 20 years after all.

Watching this video on an iPad Pro with a Smart Keyboard (I bought on eBay for about 75% off the original price) and an (used) Apple Pencil. This nifty little device would have blown away the makers of this back in the early 1990s. The pencil works almost identical to a proper pencil, with pressure sensitivity, everything about it is just great.

I have one of these computers - no stylus, PS2 keyboard connection has broke, sometimes it simply forgets everything about calibration and date and time and HD and everything. No serial mouse handy means using Windows with my normal PS2 keyboard... but hey, previous owner installed Wolfenstein 3D and is kind of playable.

Always interesting when a company tries to to do something bold like this. Often a bit to early. Within 10 yrs we had cellphones more powerful then this.

Amazing! Dauphin DTR-1 from 1993. This is a piece of history and still works 25 years later. This was groundbreaking technology for the time and in many ways began to shape what is today's cell phones and tablets. For those of you familiar with running a business, it takes a lifetime of experiences to get it right. For every successful business there was likely half a dozen failed ones, and the 'overnight success' that were 5-10 years in the making . I have tremendous respect for Alan and the immense experience he has taken the time to share with me and bring to DNotes.

There are so many variables and approaches to cryptocurrency, that it is usually impossible to bet on which technology or solution will end up being the most successful. But when it comes to the POW v.s. POS discussion it gets really simple. POW was necessary with the beginning of bitcoin because work was the only way to force value into an idea. Since then, the concept of blockchain based currencies has been tested and gained public confidence. Because of this, POW is no longer required to inject value into the coin. But security and trust will always be necessary.

So long as a POS solution is able to provide security and trust, it will always be superior to POW. To support a POW cryptocurrency, electricity must be purchased and processing time must be used. Until both are free, this cost must be born by the network. This means that there must always be a drain on the value of the currency. It is also very common for the POW solution to cause a drain on performance which affects transaction time and fees.

POS is much less demanding on electricity and processing time. This means that cryptocurrencies based on POS are more efficient, with all of the flow on effects that generates.

There are many other advantages to POS in general, even if some of them are shared by a few POW solutions. POS enables and encourages a healthier network of nodes by being less demanding to maintain, and less profitable to concentrate into large operations. POW mining companies have much more control over accepting or rejecting code, than the people who own the POW cryptocurrencies affected by their choices. So POS cryptocurrencies are much more likely to act in the interests of currency holders than POW systems are. Because POS does not need to wait for a complex puzzle to be solved, transaction periods can be much more regular, and much more frequent. And this is just some of the main advantages.

Due to this, I am confident that all cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, that make it through to 2028 and are used in regular transactions will be POS or some other alternative to POW.

I certainly agree MiningHabit, we've got plenty in common. I'm a big believer in the power of social filters to bring like minded people together, and this DNotes thread, with its well informed discussions has certainly done that for me. With AI, I'm really right at the beginning, but want to actually understand the emergent properties, not just that they're there and how to leverage them. So I've got a working ANN with 1 input node, 1 middle layer node, and 1 output node. And it still works. So technically it is just a single complex algorithm. Next step is to tease that apart and understand it.

I'm glad you find the spreadsheet useful, and you'll probably see that my first week didn't go well. This week will be better.

No problem! Here are a few more resources we recommend:

Thanks to both for the quick answers! Tonight I'll go deeper into the project (with more attention, the roadmap was in the op and I did't find it  ).

DNotes 2.0 will be launch this quarter. We have added a new team recently and very please with is new partnership: http://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/dnotes-global-inc-announces-partnership-with-geneca-for-blockchain-technology-development-20171226-00265

Welcome hughjays77, thanks for joining us on the forum and your interest in DNotes. Additionally our target for DNotes 2.0 is Q1 2018.

Hello dev,

I've just discovered this project and the goal of this got my attention. I'm was looking for a roadmap but I wasn't able to find it, could you please give me a link? You have any estimate date to lunch DNotes 2.0? Thank you

Has our industry reached the point that it is unstoppable? As of this morning, the Market Cap has reached $831,156,591,714 with a 24h Vol. of $45,514,621,586 . That is quite astonishing, considering that Apple, the largest U.S. company has a market cap of $898.5 billion and the not so industry friendly bank, headed by Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase has a market cap of $375.91 billion.

Another point of reference: “Global assets under management reached $84.9 trillion in 2016 and will therefore almost double to hit $145.4 trillion in 2025, the latest Asset and Wealth Management Revolution report showed." https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/30/global-assets-under-management-to-double-by-2025-as-the-world-population-ages-study-says.html

No matter how we want to look at it, there is serious money involved and as I stated many times, we are witnessing the greatest technology revolution since the Internet. It is much bigger, and more disruptive with world changing implications. This will lead to massive job and wealth creation.  And we are still in the infancy stage with many challenges that must be overcome before mass acceptance can become a reality.

One of those challenges is to follow the existing laws while working respectfully with multiple regulatory bodies to ensure that our industry is not over-regulated, as it will stifle innovations, job and wealth creation. Working together is significantly more beneficial for everyone. I am hopeful that the SEC, other commissions and agencies that have jurisdiction over our industry will keep this in mind.

SEC RAMPS UP CRYPTO OVERSIGHT – HIRES COIN ETF ”EXPERT”
December 12, 2017

After what many considered a dithering reluctance, the bureau charged with maintaining order in the world’s biggest speculative markets, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is ramping up efforts to consider regulatory policy toward cryptocurrencies, ICOs, and cryptocurrency funds. This comes directly after two key executive appointments this year along with ever-more attention drawn to the ecosystem due to bitcoin’s stratospheric price rise.  ……….

FORMER COIN ETF ATTORNEY TURNS SEC DIRECTOR

Two months after Mr. Clayton’s appointment to head the agency, he personally named Dalia Blass Director of its Division of Investment Management. Ms. Blass’ key positioning was heralded by some crypto enthusiasts because she served as counsel from Ropes & Gray to the failed Winklevoss efforts at a regulatory-approved ETF. Bloomberg referred to Ms. Blass as an “ETF specialist.”

Her first published remarks were keynote to the “2017 Securities Law Developments Conference” on 7 December, hosted by the Investment Company Institute in Washington, DC. Speakers included U.S Treasury, Fidelity, Prudential, T. Rowe Price, Schwab, Vanguard, among others.
She focused on two initiatives, one investor-centered and one fund related. For investors she is seeking more transparency and engagement by funds, more information to help them make better decisions. The second part of her talk focused upon fund boards and how they can manage to return shareholder value while at the same time complying with complex regulation. In both cases, she urged professionals to team with her division.

In her conclusion, she turned to the issue of a new asset class, cryptocurrency funds. The SEC, she said, has questions. “For example, would retail investors have sufficient information to consider these products and to understand the risks? When thinking about cryptocurrencies and other blockchain offerings as fund assets, are differences in their features important? How would these funds fit into the existing regulatory scheme? What regulatory structure or structures apply to the market for the underlying instrument?,” she posed, ending with a quasi-prediction: “We will be discussing these questions with you as we work through these filings.”

Both Mr. Clayton and Ms. Blass claimed to be speaking only their own thoughts and not that of the agency at large.
