Thank you, Pete.P. I will comment on what I can. However, it is important for our community to understand that because we have chosen the route of a compliance Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Title IV Tire 2 where securities can only be sold after being “Qualified” by the SEC, we are constrained by certain disclosure rules.

We will be significantly more guarded on what we post and be committed to disclosing information of material impact through multi-channel at the same time, so that no one can gain an unfair advantage of “insider” information by trading ahead of others based on early information received.

Having said that, I can confirm that our partnership with Geneca in the further development of DNotes 2.0 is doing extremely well. We are confident that it will be launched in the 1st Quarter of 2018. This is a multi-year project that will continue to expand and require significant investment.

Limited efforts have been allocated to secure the listing of DNotes on additional exchanges at this time, in part because of the impending technology upgrade to DNotes 2.0. However, I have developed an extensive contact list and introduced myself to some of them. In the case of Binance, we have submitted a substantial proposal with an indication of paying them for support and promotion. They have not yet responded.

I hope I have sufficiently answered your questions to the extend that I can. I am looking forward to a rewarding and exciting 2018 and wish you all a very Happy New Year!

No problem they l be doing another community coin vote next month!

Hello Dnotes team.
I wonder how far next Gen.(i.e. 2.0) has been developed and the exact date when the gen will be released.
Also I wish you to share your plans about contacting any exchanges and if you are already doing, please let us know the progress of the marketing. In my opinion, all of dnotes owners or to be owner are really interested in the prediction price of the coin.
Thanks for all your effort.

Weekly Review of Annual Goals 2018
I just created a Google Sheet to track goals this year. I've made it so you can edit goals and then hide empty columns. I've also used an international date format. So feel free to visit it and make a copy for yourself.

The proper way to use ICO, according to a VC...

Happy New Year, TeeGee. Enjoy yourself while you can. We have a lot of hard work ahead.

These are very welcome comments from high profile people who are paying attention to the digital currency community, and of course the projects that we are undertaking as DNotes Global. We are going to have a very exciting year, and we're going to have some amazing content for potential investors to view very soon.

Happy new year everybody, from Brisbane, Australia.

Let’s change it to “OUR” top self-improvement goals for "the" year.

Because after four long years of hard-work we finally got it – let’s no longer be shy about promoting the Amazing DNotes Story. Here are some actual comments I got today from some of my high-profile LinkedIn contacts:

“Hello Alan. Happy New Year. Wondering if we might Link In. Am very interested in DNotes Global. Perhaps there is some opportunity for me as your company takes off in 2018. Have a varied and successful global experience. Here's my web site and you can also view my LI profile for more. Best, Martin Wonsiewicz https://wonsglobal.com/”

“Alan hi, I sincerely admire your outstanding experience and professional career and I would be honored to be among your first circle of contacts on LinkedIn. Please, join my network! Regards, Mark Fedin, CEO of Bincoin.com”

If we organize a party today I think it will be filled to capacity. Let's get the DNotes Story out. Go DNotes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

BUY DNOTES

Okay you've both inspired me to and made me think about it, so here goes…
I don't have that button that fires off on new years because we're at the same point around the sun as we were last year. I've rarely started and only once finished a new year's resolution. That one that I did was to stop me being so damn emphatic. So I removed the word 'is' from my vocabulary for a year.

This year:

• I'm doing a yoga retreat in March and walking the 600km Camino de Santiago in July. So getting closer to touching my toes is on the cards.
• Mentally; I'm aiming for at least two 10 minute sessions of meditation a week.
• Skills; I'm learning python and experimenting with writing AI code.
• Creative writing; Proofread and edit my novel "Demon Spawn Goes to High School"
• Commercial writing; Try my hand at writing scripts/screen plays for short Youtube videos.
• Emotionally; I'm working on being more present when feeling hurt or in trouble.
• Musically; I'll be focusing on the ocarina because I just bought a new one that is an octave lower and easier on the ear.
• Languages; Khmer is a long term project, but I'll add some Spanish in this year, I bought the Language Hacking Spanish book.
• Artistically; sadly I don't think I'll have time to keep learning the 3D software Blender this year.
• Charity/Social; I still believe that nearly all of the little fires that everyone spends their energy trying to put out, would all go out on their own if we banned all forms of donations to political parties accept personal donations capped at a level where the majority of the population would donate, like $20–$80. So that will continue to be my battle.  

That was worth spending the time thinking about, MiningHabit. And because of this, I'll probably stay more focused on it and get better results by the end of the year. It was a good exercise, so I'll quote you to end this:

What's our top self-improvement goals for the year? ... edited as per Alan's excellent suggestion.

Yeah, I really liked the concept when I first heard of the site. Studies indicate upwards of a 40% increased chance in hitting goals when a financial incentive is there.

It will definitely be a lot of fun; I enjoy fitness. But every year the past 10 years since having kids, I seem to get just a little bit fatter. I've run 6 marathons the last 10 years, with my latest coming late last April. But my BMI technically puts me just a hair over obese. I lovvvvvve running, but it's not conducive to fat burning since that is best for exercise that is 110-120 heartbeats per minute. My trouble is that I motivate myself by saying "Im gonna running a marathon in 9 months." Then all my training focus is on that. And it's really only during the first few weeks of plodding along that I'm doing much fat burning. But I can't stay in that paradigm, since I have to start building towards the race.

So, I feel like the financial incentive/gamifying will take the place of the marathon as motivation...and allow me the mental freedom just do 60-90 minutes a day of walking on a treadmill, without the pressure of feeling like I need to get to the next level asap for an upcoming race.

Anyhow, this is going to be an amazing year.

What's everyone else's top self-improvement goals for the upcoming year? How about you TM?

India’s Finance Ministry Issues New Statement on Crpyto Risks

https://dcebrief.com/indias-finance-ministry-issues-new-statement-on-crypto-risks/

Hope you all have had a great evening enjoying the New Year celebrations.

I had wanted to take it easy for a couple of days but so far it has not been as planned. Instead, I have been actively responding to many LinkedIn connections of fairly high-level contacts. That could be a great sign that DNotes is finally being discovered. Or perhaps, more people are beginning to realize that our selection of Reg. A+ Mini-IPO is the smartest and best legal alternative to funding our projects, instead of joining the popular ICO phenomena. 

Welcome Weakthway! Thank you!

I hope everyone had a great new years eve. Looking forward to an amazing year in 2018!

Happy New year everyone, may it be the best year so far for all of us

Yes Happy New Year! I'm super excited to see how dnotes grows this year and all thats coming! Awesome work!

Australian Banks Respond to Cryptocurrency Competition

I always guessed this was coming, but I'm surprised to see them move so fast. I've always seen banks as the slowest industry to change in response to a shifting market. But it appears that Australian Banks are moving to a defensive position by thwarting bitcoin purchases, and preparing to compete by introducing a fast and user-friendly, inter-bank transaction system.

This article in the Sydney Morning Herald draws together a number of stories that show how the big four banks of Australia are freezing accounts and blocking transactions where they detect activity involving bitcoin exchanges.
http://www.smh.com.au/business/bitcoin-tensions-rise-as-investors-claim-banks-freezing-their-accounts-20171229-p4yy3z.html

It seems like the obvious solution; if you don't want cryptocurrency to be successful, block customers from exercising their right to purchase it. The trouble is that there are now so many different options for transferring money that, while it can certainly slow down a lot of the business, it won't stop it. And where money is there for the making in the exchange between cryptocurrency and fiat currency, someone will always find a way to make it work.

But I believe their other strategy will have a more significant effect on cryptocurrency adoption. "Provide the services that the public want, at a good price." This is a tried and tested strategy that the big four banks have never needed to turn to. In their monopoly, they've been able to provide very poor quality service for fees far above the cost of delivering it. But cryptocurrency has provided competition by enabling people to quickly transfer value to each other via the Internet, for (until recently with bitcoin) significantly lower costs.

So now they are introducing a new protocol, NPP (New Payments Platform) to enable immediate payments between nearly all Australian bank account holders. BPay Group is also adding functionality with an extra layer called Osko. This will then enable the payments to be made using the recipient's mobile number or email address. The new protocol enables transactions to also contain additional text information and links to external documents. This will give Australians the ability to do one of the main things that makes cryptocurrency attractive, simple fast electronic payments to each other.

To be fair, this project was first discussed in 2012, long before bitcoin's rise to general public awareness. But it was also a long time after Satoshi Nakamoto put the writing on the wall. And while this leap in banking services might seem localised to Australia, the task of writing the code was given to SWIFT.

"NPP Australia also signed a 12-year contract with global provider of secure financial messaging services Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) to design, build and operate the basic infrastructure. This organisation is the powerhouse behind international banking transfers and owner of the SWIFT keys you need to make them. So while I don't know what IP arrangements were made for this project, it is easy to see how an agreement could easily be reached to role out this service at an international level. Doing so would be like handing out the Paypal.me service to everyone without them having to incur the extra fees charged by Paypal for using it. When it comes to providing a useful alternative to cryptocurrency, this could be a game changer. Though, so far as  I have searched, there has been no indication of proposed fee structures for using Osko on the NPP.

The article about this failed to breakdown the NPP acronym.

It always makes me happy to hear that someone I like hearing from is taking action to improve their odds of being on the planet longer and participating in it more. (I'm assuming that you have objective information that this is excess weight).

I really like it that you've found a way to gamify and enjoy the process. So I'm wishing you more than success with this venture, I'm hoping it brings lots of fun as well.

Same to the DNotes team and the entire community.

 2018, for me, is going to be a year of personal transformation. First up, winning my bet at healthywage.com. I signed up to lose 20% of my body weight, and attached enough financial incentive to the goal that it will really hurt if I don't get there.

Here's to a great start to that and everyone else's 2018 goals for personal and professional betterment.
