How will be swap . It will be 1:1 or you are going to change amount of dnote . What blockchain are going to use then ?

We should have some screenshots ready for everyone to take a gander at tonight or tomorrow, for the DNotes 2.0 front end. Bare in mind, it is not designed yet, just working on front end functionality.

On this matter it should be noted that they are still in the conceptual stage, as is nearly everyone else who works with blockchain. In the CDC's 3 goals with blockchain (data sharing, tracking, and privacy law compliance), I think they will eventually be successful in all. But this isn't to say that there aren't better solutions in the interim until all engineering challanges are met, making blockchain more effective in database management.

The largest flaw I see with todays DBMS' is that any which have remote connections enabled are prone to attack. There has actually been ransomware floating around recently which specifically targets and locks MySQL dbs. I would take some additional latency any day of the week over the risk of a system wide lockout.

That being said, the latency in writing to a blockchain DB could easily be solved by making it a back end network (instead of imagining it as a standalone), where the data access layer periodically sends requests to collect activity logs from all front end users, and proceeds to permanently record it on the blockchain. Vaguely similar to how the bitcoin lightning network worked to alleviate some congestion on their blockchain.

Very interesting observations. Thank you for sharing, Tim.

There is nothing definitive I know that contributed to DNotes favorable data point in Korea. However, the Korean and the Japanese digital currency markets have been growing rapidly over the last two years. I have also noticed that my LinkedIn connection requests from Korean have gone up dramatically this year.

This is a good indicator for DNotes global expansion plan. The DNotes’ brand is gaining respect and followers. With DNotes 2.0, I trust that 2018 will be an amazing year for us.

DNotes on Google Trends

After looking at Google Trends to see how searches for bitcoin might indicate deeper social issues, I had to checkout what DNotes looked like.

Over the last five years, DNotes has done a great job of consistently being searched. The biggest spike was in the week 4th–10th June this year. This is possibly due to stories published by BITCOINIST and NEWSBTC sharing the news about plans for DNotes2.0

http://bitcoinist.com/dnotes-prepares-introduce-2-0-upgrade/


But what I found most interesting was how much DNotes is searched by South Korea. It is the number one source and scored 100. This was true over three years, and was also true for the past seven days. To verify if this was significant, I inspected Ethereum for the last 7 days and found South Korea was the 43rd strongest source and scored 15. Bitcoin in South Korea was 51st strongest with a score of 15. Litecoin was a stronger source at 34th with a score of 28. But none of these compare to DNotes being number 1 with score of 100. And this was the same for 2015, and 2016. Before that, South Korea doesn't appear as a source.

So then I tried some of the coins listed on Coinmarketcap near DNotes. Creditbit (0,0); Bitcore (8th/22, 47); Bitcrystals (0,0); TheGCCcoin (0,0)
Of these, only Bitcore was being searched at all by South Korea, and it was not a significant source region.

So it seems clear to me that DNotes has caught the attention of South Korea. I'd be interested to know why that is. I looked at the history over the last three years of searches from South Korea and found four significant dates: April 19, May 11, and June 8 and 10 all in 2017. But I only found one Korean article on June 10. It is a short article noting a huge jump in the price of DNotes.

"it is bizarre that they are looking in that direction"

Not quite as bizarre as it might sound - we're talking about a government agency, after all.

Our "bizarre" is just another Tuesday for them...

Thanks! I would recommend changing both.

Great. I will start working on the changes. I also wanted to know if I should do the same for the DNotes Twitter designs or should I leave that one as is?

BTCWise, I think what we may want to do is highlight the DNotes logo in full center and minimize the other properties but still keep them. Possibly use smaller icons for the other properties.

Hi Chase, thank you for the quick response. I am waiting for the response from the DNotes team. Will keep you posted on the progress. Thanks again,

Hi guys, could you please look at my response to the feedback I received from Chase. Regards,

Thank you, Tim. I share the general concern. Blockchain is not always the best technology for many announced "blockchain projects". Many are just jumping in like they did during the dot com era.

I am becoming seriously concerned at the general level of ignorance surrounding blockchain, its benefits, capabilities, and shortcomings. This article clearly states what is required of its solution:

"That requires relevant agencies and health care entities to share data as quickly and efficiently as possible. During any actual outbreak of infectious disease, there is little time to waste. Unfortunately, the current data-sharing systems do not allow for the secure and speedy input and sharing of information needed to respond in the most effective and time-efficient manner possible."

I think it is well overdue for someone to create a comparison table between blockchain and other ledger and database solutions. This would illustrate that blockchain is not a good fit for handling a disease outbreak.

• Blockchain is very very slow. Writing a record to the blockchain can take more than ten minutes, and much longer if suddenly thousands of records need to be written at once.
• Blockchain requires specialised software, which in an emergency situation might take between hours and days to setup to the point of running a full node.
• Blockchain does not allow records to be deleted. It does not allow passwords to be changed, or access to be revoked. Someone from the CDC could be fired for misconduct, but because they have the private keys, all CDC health records are permanently available to this person.
• Blockchain does not handle multiple tables or manage referential relationships. It does not enable data to be procedurally updated. So if it turns out that all body temperatures entered by some region were in Fahrenheit, not Celsius, those records must remain wrong.

But this is only scratching the surface of why blockchain is a dreadful fit for the CDC. And it is bizarre that they are looking in that direction when there are so many off-the-shelf proven solutions to provide a fast, flexible, powerful, full functioning database with tiered levels of access. A MySQL database, with both desktop and mobile webpage access would be instantly usable by any authorised person in the world with no software installation or training required. 

I hadn't even considered Internet accessibility, TeeGee. So I did the same search periods, but for 'food' instead of 'bitcoin' and found that Nigeria had continued to be active at the same level in both periods. But Ghana went from nothing to similar to Nigeria over that same period. So I think you were onto something. Ghana gained improved Internet access over that period, mimicking the increased interest of Nigeria in bitcoin.

I may not be the best person to ask, I'm a little 'off center' when it comes to design. lol

It's not my area of expertise, so my question is - How much information is needed on a social media header? Is having the DNotes logo on the left half (or two thirds) of a page and DNotesCoin.com on the bottom right sufficient?

CDC Considering Blockchain for Crisis Data Management

https://dcebrief.com/cdc-considering-blockchain-for-crisis-data-management/

Hi Chase, thank you very much for your feedback. I am glad you liked the designs

I just wanted to get some clarity. Do you think I should remove all the text and add the DNotes logo in the center and maybe leave the four pillars. Or should I remove this as well?

I appreciate all the feedback I can get. This is my way of making sure the DNotes brand becomes awesome

Thanks Chase, that makes sense. Maybe we can add in the full logo and make it easier to identify the brand.
