Thank you very much RJF. We are privileged to have great supporters who have been with us from the early days, like yourself, in our community.

Hiya DNOTES comunity!  Very good time for buy now it's very cheep now! Just Buy and hold and surtanly will goes to the moon after DNoTeS 2 been realise! Good luck!! I got my dnotes from 2014 and steal hold them in to my wallet!!

Too anyone who has doubts about DNotes:

I've been around this project since the beginning, long before I met the principles. I have bought, mined, received and, yes, sold DNotes in many ways for many reasons but I have never lost faith in this project. Unlike many, nay, most crypto projects, this one is not out to separate you from your money without giving back something more valuable. It is truly a shame that smart, visionaries, people who joined, and helped to build this industry, now only concern themselves with how much profit they can take from it. I suppose it's a natural evolution of the power of human greed and is to be expected but, it still surprises me non the less as my parents taught me to respect people with integrity and knowledge.

I see projects that were great and noble efforts at inception turn to pure greed over the short time crypto has been public. I have watched people who would have changed the world go down in smoke because they failed to get their message out. I have seen struggling inventors raise to fame and fortune by being in the right place at the right time and I have seen scam artists take millions from people who could ill afford to loose it but in all that, the promise of crypto currency survives.

DNotes is a survivor. Alan, Joe, Kevin and the crew are survivors. I have met them, discussed many issues with them and fully trust and believe in them. They will do more then survive, they will thrive and they don't have a problem sharing that with others. Success is a party that brings many new friends, failure is a lonely fate. As long as people believe in you and support you, there is no failure. When success comes, choose your new friends wisely.

But, business is just that, business. No matter how hard we try, it must remain impersonal. When it's good, everyone supports you, everyone is your friend. When it's not so good, the only ones still supporting you are the ones you take to the party later. Polo may be simply sticking to their rules, being business like and keeping the bottom line in view but, they won't be at the party.

So, I'm buying, care to join me?

PS: I have complete faith in the project and my name and reputation are still stamped on the Retirement CRISP, something I'm rather proud of by the way.

Good to see you, wiser. I like the second one better too.

I like the second one better.

What does everyone think of these potential logo upgrades for DCEBrief?

Of course, as I appreciate your relentless efforts, motivation, and guiding us down the right path. Anything less and we should have given up before we even started and just invested other coins.

Once we understood there would be a delay in 2.0, we were faced with multiple options. Ultimately though, we decided to stay the course and continue working until the base of the code is complete. Adding additional programmers and trying to get everyone on the same page would result in organizational delays, management of distribution of work, and segregation of code that would ultimately require additional coding to ensure all the components worked together. It would not be as cohesive and ultimately would result a split of knowledge, rather than having someone who knows the whole project inside and out. There would have been a strong possibility in the project being further delayed with additional cost as well. As you may see, throwing additional resources at the problem was not a viable solution.

At Alan's request I am currently reaching out to expand our development team and work on some upcoming projects and further DNotes development with a high preference for finding people that are local. In fact, I have a meeting scheduled with two local development firms on Monday.

Thanks, Joe. I think that is a reasonable response and as you know I am deeply appreciative of your relentless efforts and hard-work to help us make so many things possible for DNotes.

However, I think it important to address Denver Dan's concern that we shed some light on the software development of DNotes 2.0. To that extent, I can confirm that we expanded our team early last year and specifically hired a dedicated programmer, we believe most qualified, at the rate of US$60 per hour. Based on our records the first check #1005 was issued on April 5, 2017 for the amount of $1,500. Since then we have spent a significant amount out of our own pockets - and may I say quite rare in our industry.

As I have mentioned many times, we do not make any claim that is not verifiable. However, there are privacy issues that we respect. Without elaborating, there were two family emergencies that added to the delay. Above all, our wish list grew in anticipation of future projects.

I hope that helps clarify things a little more.

This has been a rough week. I hope we don't extent it with more "friendly fire". We must be respectful of others opinion and expression. We are all in this together for the mutual benefits of everyone.

I couldn't agree more Alan.

Hi Denver Dan, thanks for the questions. I will do my best to answer them all, but let me know if I am missing anything or if the progression and goals are not exactly clear.

While we have had minor changes, block reward changes, bug fixes, and upgrades to the existing DNotes blockchain, this does not represent 3+ years of cryptocurrency programming. We have taken a cautious approach cryptocurrency programming and carefully planning our next moves when it comes to upgrades, and in this case and entirely new version of DNotes, which we didn't decide upon until 2016. Also, we needed to ensure we have the right people in place to make that happen. A tremendous amount of effort and time has gone into finding / working with / investing time and money / narrowing down.

As the industry continues to grow, we need to fully understand what is happening, what challenges the industry is facing, what do users of cryptocurrency need and want, and what all of the other cryptocurrencies are doing. This is the research that ultimately led us to developing the next version of DNotes and many of our projects that we have either launched or working on.

The DNotes vision is much more than just a cryptocurrency technology. During that time, we have also created entities to help DNotes and DNotes Global Inc achieve their goals.
The DNotesVault, which fundamentally addresses the technological issues involved in owning cryptocurrency, without compromising security. This is a novel system for storing DNotes and I'm positive it's an industry first in many aspects.
CRISP, which DNotesVault was a fundamental platform for, as an outreach program and savings program. I'm certain this is an industry first in many aspects as well.
CryptoMoms, our initial project to help bridge the gender gap, but also represents a much larger initiative to make cryptocurrency as inclusive as possible. The vision for what CryptoMoms evolves and is rolled into has not been yet implemented.
The Four Pillars book, which the rights have been gifted DNotes Global Inc and as a result to the success of DNotes, and corresponding membership site. This will be a critical component in reaching out to business owners, NextGen VC, and the DNotes outreach program.
DCEBrief, which is our industry news, industry outreach, and media platform associated with the DNotes brand and ultimately will work it's way the DNotes Global Inc network as a for profit entity.
Among other projects that are currently in the planning and development phase.

DNotes is an industry leader in many ways that may not be quantified by how many upgrades we have made to the cryptocurrency itself. With some careful planning and execution, DNotes will be seen as a leader from the technology standpoint as well. Since we started working on DNotes 2.0 in 2016 planning and designing, and officially announced it may of 2017 with the starting of this thread, it has been one of our primary focuses. We've had many bumps in the road and delays, but we are not going to focus on those, we are going to keep our focus on the goal of moving DNotes forward.

Mnuchin: Treasury Watching Bitcoin ‘Very Carefully’

Thank you, Chase and everyone for posting helpful information relating to our efforts to get DNotes listed on other exchanges. I am actively looking at different options and pursuing various avenues including some of my LinkedIn contacts. I am less concerned about the cost than than the timing as we get closer to DNotes 2.0 launch. Beyond that we will have more options.

“Ultimately we are all fighting for survival in our own unique way.” Thanks, Brandon.

I believe we are, and that can be a good thing. At times we must protect our own self-interest before that of others, including the defense of our own nation, self, family, friends, and for that matter DNotes. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately, like most people would when emotionally charged.

At the end of the day, I still believe, like I always have, that it is better to fight for a worthy cause in unity with other like-mind individuals than otherwise as the case may be. I like to think that together we can change the world for the better. But it is too rivetted and may take generations to dismantle. Meanwhile, I am convinced that collectively, we can make a positive difference using DNotes as our weapon of choice because of its ability to be truly far-reaching worldwide. 

Happy Remembrance Day / Veteran's Day!

It a good thing I took a look through their site before I said what I thought of their $5,000 compliance fee. 

Apparently the compliance fee is to protect themselves legally and only applies in certain cases. There is a list of what they research to see if a coin is what it says it is, and will not cause them a legal headache in the future. If and when the time is right to get listed on Bittrex, it may be a good idea to submit a DNotes dossier that answers these particular questions (if applicable) before they are even asked. They can't come back and ask for $5,000 for questions they already know the answer to. 


What is a compliance review? -  https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/227902667-What-is-a-compliance-review-

In our guidelines about submitting a coin to Bittrex for listing, we have a clear statement that describes what is or isn't permitted on Bittrex.  Bolded for emphasis, "Note that we cannot list currencies where its primary purpose is to support illegal gambling, illegal drug sales, or any other activity that is illegal in our jurisdiction.  We also cannot list currencies that would be construed as a security such as digital currencies that promise/market profits or represent shares of a company.  At our discretion, we may require an additional compliance fee for listing.  These happen in the extraordinary cases where your coin's use case is extremely complex and requires significant research by our staff to determine suitability."

These rules were broad guidelines developed to minimize the legal risk to Bittrex and our users from an over zealous government regulator or prosecutor.  But as business models for blockchains evolved, we felt that the rules could have the unintended consequence of stifling innovation. 

Instead of telling developers "no", we began to offer an option of a compliance review that would help defray the cost of the research needed for inclusion on Bittrex.

The research can consist of any combination of the following (and possibly more):

1) Background checks on the principle owners of a business launching a blockchain

2) Verifying that a company is registered; i.e. if you say you are registered in Dubai, we may check that you are

3) Understanding the business process; i.e. if you say you are handling gold and storing it securely, we're going to walk through every aspect of that process

4) Code reviews of technology that we're not readily familiar with; for instance, if you write a whole blockchain client in Erlang, we'll have to hire experts to help code review it with us

5) Applying the Howey test to your token to understand whether or not it is a security

6) Determining if the token violates any CFTC guidelines

7) Understanding how/if US laws apply to your token. 

 
The compliance review fee is non-refundable and does not guarantee inclusion in Bittrex.  You may fail.

Thank you to all veterans for your service and putting their life on the line to fight for your country.

The closest I was able to find for an actual cost was a tweet from goldblocks, https://twitter.com/goldblockscoin/status/777836316545388544, stating it would cost $5000 for compliance check in 2016.

Thank you all armed forces veterans for your service to this world.

Ultimately we are all fighting for survival in our own unique way. I like to think we have been allotted this privilege by heroes of generations past, who put their lives on the line so we can all continue fighting in a more peaceful way that provides everyone the opportunity to succeed. I would like to pay tribute to all nations who are commemorating the heroes who were taken before their time and those who who continue to live with the scars. I encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on their sacrifice, whether your country observes Veterans Day, Remembrance Day, or Armstice day, please take time to pay respect to the millions of people from many nations, ethnicities and religions, who banded together and made the ultimate sacrifice for us.

Remembrance Day / Veteran's Day - November 11, 2017

Thank you to all past and present members of the armed forces for your service.

We will never forget.

Hi Dimitry,

The coin submission request looks like it hasn't changed since 2014 (it's the same one on their updated website). The 3 bitcoin is to have your coin spotlighted... For $21,000 it better be a pretty bright spotlight. lol

"Given the demand for currency launches, we limit ourselves to only a handful a week.  Launching is free and at our discretion.  If your coin passes our compliance rules and you'd like to get additional marketing in our platform, we offer the option to spotlight your coin for 3.0 BTC."   

No thats from 2014, it costs around 3btc..
