Thanks for posting this article here.

Our team have all been active in the crypto industry for ~4 years, and in the case of Joe, a little more. DNotes itself is about 3.5 years old, launched in Feb 2014. In that time we have taken a vastly different approach to most other cryptocurrency projects. As a part of planning our strategic road map, we have looked into the work those around us are doing. There is a lot of talent in the cryptocurrency industry, bu many here will be aware that 95% of the projects that are launching won't ever release a viable product (like nearly any ICO). Part of keeping up with the happenings in the cryptospace has been researching what other people are doing, and this has led to us believing that building relationships with other trustworthy and competent groups in the industry will also be great for DNotes, and there is even potential that we may work with other groups that we build these relationships with in the future.

Syscoin have a long-term approach similar to DNotes - their product fills a key function, they don't create false hype, they have a company and verifiable faces behind their product, a loyal following, and competent development team. This made them great for the first coin analysis article. I will be writing more of these coin appraisals over the next few weeks while I continue to work on the DNotes 2.0 whitepaper, and I'm more than willing to give fair appraisal to worthwhile and trustworthy projects that others in this forum recommend. I don't hold any other crypto than DNotes, which basically means I have no conflict of interest anywhere I look. So feel free to send me by private message your suggestions (with reasons why)!


Good article, great series! As with DNotes, I have held Syscoin almost since the first coins appeared in the blockchain. As you say, they are very professional and honest. They don't promise things they can't deliver and the value of their projects raises almost daily. It would be interesting if DNotes and Syscoin explored ways to work together since they do compliment each other. That would be a cool relationship, a real "win/win"

Indeed, moving right a long with DNotes 2.0. Before long we will need to run extensive live testing, and looking for people to get involved in the testing. Anyone who may be interested, please reply here or send us an email, [email protected].

Happy to help however you might need.

Thanks MiningHabit!

We will be seeking out additional code testers starting now and offering a DNotes bounty for reviewing parts of the DNotes 2.0 code. If anyone has experience or would like to make any suggestions for people in our industry to seek out.

World Funding Summit
November 17 - 18, 2017

Hope you can join us. I will be sharing my vision on the future of finance, alternative funding, and ICOs for the next generation of entrepreneurs and business owners.

Congratulations on the speaking spot. I already know that I'll be missing out on this one. But I'm hoping some of it will end up on Youtube or similar. I'm especially keen to lean more about what DNotes has in store for VC. There is such a massive and dangerous hole in the VC landscape around unregulated ICO-style VC with millions of dollars pouring into it. The sooner someone develops a safe and accountable infrastructure that automatically steps start-ups through a transparent vetting process the better.

I'm also really curious about the implementation of DNotes 2.0 that enables "...many innovative blockchain applications and smart contracts using DNotes blockchain..." This makes it look like it will incorporate a turing-complete language. If it does, I hope DNotes Global Inc do something really clever in providing some sort of shared library database for code addresses.

Thanks, Tim.  Regarding my speech at the World Funding Summit, I certainly hope at least some video clips will be made available. I have been drafting the bullet points for submission and approval. It will be exciting. I used to speak to large audience quite often when I was the CEO of Dauphin Technology.

There is such a massive and dangerous hole in the VC landscape around unregulated ICO-style VC with millions of dollars pouring into it. The sooner someone develops a safe and accountable infrastructure that automatically steps start-ups through a transparent vetting process the better.”

Tim, you are correct.  I couldn’t have said it better. DNotes NextGen VC is committed to a different business model. Current ICOs are almost exclusively for cryptocurrency projects based on a newly conceived idea laid out on a “white paper”, often with stunning graphics. It is nearly impossible to verify any claims. Yet tens of millions have been raised in a very short period of time, despite the fact that most of the ICOs are not in compliance with existing security laws on the book. Of course, many will continue to argue otherwise.

Our business model is a little different. We will be focusing in working with established companies with excellent growth and profit potential in the presence of adequate funding and great management skills coupled with best use of blockchain technologies and smart contracts. There will be some participation in highly selective new projects based on truly great ideas.

We believe that, while more burdensome, it is possible to have ICOs that are in compliance with existing regulations utilizing side-by-side Equity Crowdfunding (Reg CF) and Regulation D Offerings limited to accredited investors. Reg CF is currently limited to $1 million but serious efforts are involved to raise it to $5 million.

DNotes 2.0 blockchain will be our ideal platform in issuing new tokens for those projects DNotes Global is involved with equity participation. My book is one of the building blocks that will contribute immense value to our success. I am very committed to help small investors and small business owners. ICO is our best tool to help accomplish our missions. But it must be done the right way and in compliance with regulations. Reasonable consumer protection is important to me, but not regulations over-reach.

I rather not get ahead of ourselves regarding DNotes future blockchain applications. As a rule, our model is to give priority to real world applications as mentioned in my previous paragraphs regarding ICOs. At this point it is safe to say that our business model will be different than Ethereum. I can elaborate more at another time. Meanwhile, anyone interested to learn more about what DNotes has been doing and why – it is very helpful to check out my interview with CEO/CFO magazine: http://www.ceocfointerviews.com/interviews/DNotesGlobal17.htm

Yeah, agreed. Sweet article; dope headline and accompanying image.

I was wary of the falling knife stuff during the the August 1 forking event. I was hearing a lot of internet opinion in favor of moving as much altcoin as possible into bitcoin to maximize the amount of bitcoin cash. I thought that made sense, but as hedge against bitcoin potentially cratering, I only moved half of my alts into btc.

Turns out the right move would have been to do it all. But I wanted to still have skin in the game in case the Y2K-like fears actually came to pass. Wish I'd loaded up on more btc than I did. But I'm generally in a little bit too deep anyway, though I'm not exactly a risk-averse person.

Supeerrrrr looking forward to launch of DNotes 2.0. Looking at the price action of something like NEO, aka Antshares 2.0, leaves me feeling very bullish about the short term prospects of NOTE. In addition, of course, to value of the long term visioning that is always at the forefront of all DNotes decision-making.

Like Zuck said once back in the day, "I'm here to build for the long term. Anything else is just a distraction."

Trust that you had a great vacation with your lovely family, MiningHabit. It was good to see your posts on Facebook.

DNotes is very committed to its long term vision. Many building blocks have been laid. Once we start gaining momentum, it could be unstoppable.

Thanks for the quote of the day, "I'm here to build for the long term. Anything else is just a distraction." 

Yes it was a really nice time, albeit entirely too short. It's definitely crystallized for us that our next chapter will begin in Portland. We are very ready to live there. It's a very different culture and pace of life, one I really appreciate, without the insane cost of living that plagues a lot of the rest of the West Coast's metropolis areas.

Super excited for 2.0, and as ever, look forward to keeping in touch! w00t!

I assume that you mean Portland, Maine (not Portland, Oregon). Yes, I love that place - especially the live lobsters and other fresh sea food.

DNotes 2.0 is looking good. Very excited about it myself.

Sony Creates Blockchain Platform for Student Data

https://dcebrief.com/sony-creates-blockchain-platform-for-student-data/

Thanks for bringing this new use of blockchain to my attention, Chase. Moving from Australia to Cambodia, I've noticed many cultural differences. But the one that stands out most is how much they value education in Cambodia. I feel like there is a direct correlation between the future success of a country, and how much education is valued at both a cultural and political level. So I'm very pleased to see Sony working in this area.

I'm also keen to see how they manage associating identity with education outcomes. If done well, this could do more than facilitate coordination between institutions and give confidence to employers. It could raise the recognition and social value of education itself.

I'm imagining an education image layer that can be placed over your avatar wherever you have a presence online. The status of having proven your knowledge and skills could then make obtaining and verifying more skills very attractive. We wear jewellery as a symbol of status. Wouldn't it be great to introduce new types of status identifiers based on things other than wealth? I've often considered a similar type of online jewellery for annual donations as a percentage of income. And I wonder how different society will be when social responsibility and education gain as much admiration as wealth does.


Hi Tim. All the credit for this news brief belongs to Ken Chase, not this Chase.  Grin

I was shocked a year or two ago when I read about the the amount of fraud in student records.

My dream for education would be that relevance is restored and students are no longer graduating $50,000 in debt with a Bachelor of nothing useful degree. Another pet peeve is that even for a useful program, there is no limit on the number of people that are 'free' to take the program (after paying full tuition, lol), even if the job openings are slim. In Canada two thirds of new teaching graduates cannot find a job, and every year thousands of new graduates are added to that list.

On a positive note, I love that anyone around the world regardless of their wealth status can obtain a free education online from some of the top universities in the world. It also allows people to tailor their education to what they want, even if it is a few courses in a variety of areas (and from a variety of institutions) that interest them.

I agree that it is a great step in verifying that what you claim to have is actually true, but I'm not sure if it says any more than that. My real education began after I finished school...   Smiley

Mounting student loan debts, coupled with raising unemployment for new college graduates, are very damaging to many young people. It has a very negative impact on new household formation and our economy.

Ha, thanks for letting me know.

[...]

I really do understand what you mean by your real education began after school. My life has been very similar. I've held a lot of positions that typically require a degree in something, but I've been mostly self-taught.

There is still a huge problem with associating qualifications with worthy identities. Some of it is as simple as fraud where the degree holder bought the fake certificate. This is enabled by Universities often making it difficult, tedious, or expensive to verify a qualification. Then there are those genuine qualifications given to real people by institutions that pass students rather than lose out on fees. Or institutions that don't have the capability of delivering content and verifying competence effectively. This is enabled because there is no effective system in place for identifying these rogue providers.

And lastly, as a writer, I'm am approached on a daily basis by students wanting me to write their assignments for them. When I was providing services in Excel, I had even more offers to produce work required for their assessment. So even good universities are providing genuine qualifications to people who can't prove their competency.

The good news is that we're rapidly moving towards an age where all of these problems can be solved. I like the idea of separating the content delivers from the competency assessors that award the qualifications. This would also benefit self-educators like us, who through broad life experience have the knowledge and would benefit from an efficient process that would recognise these skills formally.

"I really do understand what you mean by your real education began after school."

I certainly agree. And it also applies to those with graduate and postgraduate degrees. I have a BS in Behavioral Science and a MBA but that only gave a better starting point. It is one's commitment to be the most knowledge in anything that you are passionate about that makes a difference.

Looks like the trading of BTC has swinged away from PoloniEx to Asian exchanges !
This will definitely have a significant impact on BTC/NOTE (NOTE/BTC) volume/price on PoloniEx as well.
To achieve growth, it will be difficult to ignore the Chinese/Korean/Japanese (or Asian ) markets, even for DNotes.
Also wondering where (looking for a more efficient exchanger other than PoloniEx) I can buy my DNotes now??

Great work, SCeeYong. The Asian Pacific region will be among our new areas of focus soon after DNotes 2.0 is launched. Some early discussion has already started. I am also very interested to have my book "Improve Your Odds - The Four Pillars of Success" translated into Chinese, since Chapter 15 is about digital currency and the DNotes Story. I am also in the process of producing 50 videos with transcripts. All these are keeping me extremely busy, but an important part of our strategies and executions.

DNotes is totally committed to be the trusted digital currency available for everyone worldwide to participate. Our strategies are different because the path that we have chosen is different. The market is becoming very crowded, confusing, and chaotic - and it is still at its infancy. Just consider the history of exchanges in our industry. There has been constant changes in leadership. And before long there will be tens of thousands more ICOs and crypto-currencies. It is already getting too crazy. DNotes is positioned to survive the test of time. It is better to get there slowly and do the right thing at the right time. I have no doubt that DNotes will begin to shine and be discovered next year.

It is not uncommon for people to be dismissive of our significance regardless of our clearly articulated vision of building a trusted digital currency, with meaningful intrinsic value, to meet the full functions of money for everyone worldwide to participate. A few years from now, some will look back and ask how they could have missed something so obvious.

Well, we are now operating in a global environment dominated by instant gratifications and instant responses as lead by social media. If we can’t get it now, we instantly become frustrated, and try something else. As much as we wish, DNotes is not the best fit for every investor at this stage. It is more suited for those who can buy some now and forget about for a few years – especially true with DNotes 2.0 CRISP and staking reward of almost 4% per year coupled with the amazing advantages of DNotesVault.

If you take a good look at DNotes’ ecosystem, you may realize that DNotes has done many things others wouldn’t care to do because of the substantial cost and commitment in time and other resources. We funded every bit of it with our own hard-earned cash because we believe that by virtual of that DNotes, one day, will be in the position to do things than others cannot do.

Hi Tim. All the credit for this news brief belongs to Ken Chase, not this Chase.  Grin
Ha, thanks for letting me know.

I agree that it is a great step in verifying that what you claim to have is actually true, but I'm not sure if it says any more than that. My real education began after I finished school...   Smiley

I really do understand what you mean by your real education began after school. My life has been very similar. I've held a lot of positions that typically require a degree in something, but I've been mostly self-taught.

There is still a huge problem with associating qualifications with worthy identities. Some of it is as simple as fraud where the degree holder bought the fake certificate. This is enabled by Universities often making it difficult, tedious, or expensive to verify a qualification. Then there are those genuine qualifications given to real people by institutions that pass students rather than lose out on fees. Or institutions that don't have the capability of delivering content and verifying competence effectively. This is enabled because there is no effective system in place for identifying these rogue providers.

And lastly, as a writer, I'm am approached on a daily basis by students wanting me to write their assignments for them. When I was providing services in Excel, I had even more offers to produce work required for their assessment. So even good universities are providing genuine qualifications to people who can't prove their competency.

The good news is that we're rapidly moving towards an age where all of these problems can be solved. I like the idea of separating the content delivers from the competency assessors that award the qualifications. This would also benefit self-educators like us, who through broad life experience have the knowledge and would benefit from an efficient process that would recognise these skills formally.

And another interesting article by Ken Chase. (It never even occurred to me that Chase on this forum could be anyone else, but apparently so.)

To see how much impact Bitfinex might have pulling out of US based transactions, I created this chart of the top ten exchange trade volumes in fiat currencies.



Trading US$388,118,140 over the past 24 hours brought it in as the third biggest exchange. Now if that was cheese or some other recognised commodity that a business had decided to stop trading with the US, in that sort of volume, I feel like it would be big news in the mainstream. And if the cause of it had been nothing more than the US creating an unworkable burden of regulations, there would likely be public outcry.

I suppose the fact that this event has not caused a public reaction is another indicator of how cryptocurrencies are not yet seen as real things that need to be managed carefully at a national level.

Sony Creates Blockchain Platform for Student Data

https://dcebrief.com/sony-creates-blockchain-platform-for-student-data/

Thanks for bringing this new use of blockchain to my attention, Chase. Moving from Australia to Cambodia, I've noticed many cultural differences. But the one that stands out most is how much they value education in Cambodia. I feel like there is a direct correlation between the future success of a country, and how much education is valued at both a cultural and political level. So I'm very pleased to see Sony working in this area.

I'm also keen to see how they manage associating identity with education outcomes. If done well, this could do more than facilitate coordination between institutions and give confidence to employers. It could raise the recognition and social value of education itself.

I'm imagining an education image layer that can be placed over your avatar wherever you have a presence online. The status of having proven your knowledge and skills could then make obtaining and verifying more skills very attractive. We wear jewellery as a symbol of status. Wouldn't it be great to introduce new types of status identifiers based on things other than wealth? I've often considered a similar type of online jewellery for annual donations as a percentage of income. And I wonder how different society will be when social responsibility and education gain as much admiration as wealth does.

I was shocked a year or two ago when I read about the the amount of fraud in student records.

My dream for education would be that relevance is restored and students are no longer graduating $50,000 in debt with a Bachelor of nothing useful degree. Another pet peeve is that even for a useful program, there is no limit on the number of people that are 'free' to take the program (after paying full tuition, lol), even if the job openings are slim. In Canada two thirds of new teaching graduates cannot find a job, and every year thousands of new graduates are added to that list.

On a positive note, I love that anyone around the world regardless of their wealth status can obtain a free education online from some of the top universities in the world. It also allows people to tailor their education to what they want, even if it is a few courses in a variety of areas (and from a variety of institutions) that interest them.

I agree that it is a great step in verifying that what you claim to have is actually true, but I'm not sure if it says any more than that. My real education began after I finished school...   Smiley
