Yep, the only thing I came across was the article Brandon mentioned. Are you not able to get into your account either?

Bitcoin, Altcoin Exchange Bittrex Eyed With Suspicion Due to Thousands of Mysterious Account Closings

I got this same message when logging into my Bittrex account... Looks like another one bites the dust...

Bittrex seems to have imploded. Does anyone have any real intel on what's going on over there?

Welcome mmmmyah to the DNotes forum! Our roadmap outlines the general direction we are headed in the 2018 & Beyond section. From the technology standpoint we will continue to develop sensible upgrades that support DNotes as a currency, expand on our blockchain's capabilities and usability, and upgrades that best support the needs of users. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Hi mmmmyah, thanks for dropping by.

DNotes 2.0 has not been released yet, we are doing additional C# conversion to the code than we previously thought was needed. We are hoping to release as soon as possible, before the end of this year. There will be numerous modular upgrades in the works as part of our 2.0 upgrade to come in 2018 as part of our platform to allow tokenized assets to be deployed on the DNotes blockchain. We have a roadmap on the first page of this thread here that you can view:

You can review our progress of the 2.0 upgrade at our our Github here:

Has Dnotes2.0 been released and what are the enhancements you foresee in the next 3.0 release?

Yes, signalling the people who have unique and strong skill sets is getting harder. But with current off-the-shelf technology, it should be getting easier. I have a vision for how universities should be, but unfortunately, I don't like it because of the big hole it leaves in our system.

Before information could be recorded and reproduced easily and accurately, before the printing press, education was very hands-on and apprenticeships were used to introduce new skills to a family. Then with printed books, lecturers stood in front of an audience and delivered information. Now that information can be reproduced and shared virtually for free, online courses can deliver the information at almost no cost. I believe that providing well structured information, and exercises to give it practical meaning, is sufficient to transfer skills. But I recognise that a skilled mentor, and learner collaboration, accelerate this process. And as you have indicated, personal research and reading of material that is related to but supplementary also deepens and broadens the skill. So I see the delivery of information transitioning to online, including online mentoring and group collaboration. I don't see any requirement for the delivery of information to come from a single source, or institution.

But a qualification comes in two parts. One is the acquiring of the skills. The second part is the verification that the skills have been acquired. While online delivery has improved the transfer of information. The Internet has seriously undermined the verification process. On Upwork, a platform that connects freelancers to clients, I frequently get invited to do tasks which are clearly student assignments. I have a standard text about personalised plagarism for pasting into my response. Even completing online tests is being regularly outsourced. This is a serious problem, but the solution is a great opportunity.

I would like to see an independent commercial body established that certifies businesses running "invigilated rooms" where computers are provided, identity is verified, and behaviour is monitored. Students anywhere in the world could go to a certified invigilated room, and work on their assignments or complete assessment tasks. This functionality would then enable the delivery of information to be segregated from the verification of a skill set. Someone who has years of experience running their own travel agency, could pay for assessment of their business and travel skills, and receive a legitimate qualification in business and travel. If they fail a unit, they could go to whatever information delivery format that suited them, gain the skill, and re-sit the unit.

The system described above would enable education to be almost free, and the cost of verifying the acquired skill set to be competitive and affordable. The downside is that our society also relies heavily on universities to conduct research and further the body of human knowledge. Currently this process is partially funded by student fees and government subsidies. It is also partially funded by commercial interests. Shifting to my proposed model would push research activities into a fully commercial model. This is a problem because knowledge about what is profitable is frequently different to knowledge about what is beneficial and socially constructive.

Exactly RJF. DNotes focuses on creating user-centric tech that makes things easier to accomplish, or more secure in some way. Being able to defer staking privileges from one wallet to another to earn additional interest from the security of a web-based cold-storage crypto wallet is just one of many to come. We are expanding our already excellent team in the near future to accelerate development. 2018 will see DNotes begin to rapidly scale, in line with the messaging we have espoused from day one that in order to succeed in this business, you need to take your time and do things the right way.

I totally agree with you R-J-F
The force is strong with DNotes

This sounds amazing. I'm really starting to get goosebumps
Security is key and you guys are really ticking all the right boxes. I like the fact that we will be able to run a separate wallet for staking by deferring from our DNotesVault to a desktop wallet.
Thanks for the feedback DNotes.

That is WAY cool! What a forward thinking idea! This what I have always known DNotes was capable of, cool, user centered tech. Nice!

Yep, transaction fees get complicated in this scenario as far as how much of it can be actually spent. Coming up with a transaction fee structure that is useful for the user while being beneficial to the network is more difficult than it may appear at face value as a result of the blockchains transaction structure.

Although they retain the same face value, in theory the bitcoin comprised of one million inputs would have much less utility value because the fees on a transaction with so many outputs would be much greater than that of a single bitcoin left in tact, where only one output is required to send any given amount.

Is it the same?

Open question for everyone, which has more value:

A bitcoin comprised of one input, or a bitcoin comprised of one million inputs?

Thanks, I was just about to ask how the deferred staking worked with DNotesVault.

That is correct, and yep 8% plus compounding. We are planning on having a program where DNotesVault users can have their staking privileges deferred to another wallet. So if you have a DNotesVault account, there will be an option to fill out a form and request that your staking privileges are deferred to a desktop wallet you may be running, or to a wallet running on a cloud server for instance. In this manner you would be able to keep your DNotes safe at the DNotesVault while running a separate wallet specifically for staking, with no actual coins in the wallet you are deferring the staking privileges to.

“Alan, the value of your experience and the depth of perspective that it gives you can't be overestimated. You've seen a lot of impossible things come to pass and nay-sayers frequently proven short-sighted. What impresses me is that you still have a strong sense of what is and isn't possible, and show you are very aware that timing is crucial. Things that seemed impossible or unfeasible, often become successful when their time is right.”

Thank you kindly, Tim. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Knowing what they are and managing them to one’s advantage is an important skill-set worth mastering. Much of that is revealed throughout my book “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success.” https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/

I have learned to be extremely selective and focused in what I am willing to commit my limited time and resources. To beginning with, it must be something that I am knowledgeable about or have done a thorough research on. To get involved, the project must be something I am really passionate about and in line with my area of strengths to the extent that I can be a significant contributor and driver of its success. I must also be convinced that if we do the right thing at the right time, given smart strategies and great executions, the required resources – human, financial, and others will be available to overcome any weaknesses and constraints.

Additionally, I must be convinced that we can objectively believe that by doing the right thing at the right time we can be equal to our best competitor one day and ultimately be superior.

These guiding principles have let me to a strong level of confidence for success and it will be well reflected in DNotes, DNotes Global, Inc. and others that we will be involved in the future. As I mentioned before, this is a very large-scale project and as such will require a rather complex system to make things happen as outlined in our roadmap:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dnotes-20-staking-crisp-interest-dnotes-pay-1924858

On a different note, I agree that Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase is no fool. Sadly, not recognizing his weakness or pure ignorance on the subject caused him to make a fool of himself.

The 2% staking reward requires you to run a full node via desktop wallet.
