This is certainly true. We follow the criteria of building success that are not immediately obvious to people.

We work in a tightly integrated and internal manner that has allowed us to obfuscate our advantages to our competitors, who have focused instead on production - what is measurable and visible - but easy to replicate. We instead focus on production capability, or the source of power that makes production possible. If you internalize the focus to production capability -- as is the case with our basis for a business ecosystem to support DNotes -- you become much more able to grow rapidly when it comes to production, and creating what is measurable and visible but without being easily replicated. The myopic focus on creating something of lesser value now in the crypto-space is like what Stephen R. Covey called "the person who runs 2 hours a day, then gloats to you about how they're going to live longer... but neglects to mention that they're spending all their time running." There is not a lot such a person can do with the extra time. Better to spend time on more productive endeavors.

DNotes Global have implemented winning business strategies accordingly - strategies that appear completely lost on most, if not all other operators and investors within this industry at the moment. That is soon to change once the value of superior production capability is demonstrated as a better vehicle for producing tangible outputs over merely producing whatever you can in the moment (like, say, an ICO for garbage-grade investment in a business with only a white paper and no customers... anyone...? - funnily, it seems many).

Better production capability requires a lot of planning. DNotes was planned with the end in mind, and with a focus on meaningful objectives & production capability that will be difficult at best to compete against.

DNotes is different in many ways. We are always willing to go the extra mile for DNotes' stakeholders based on a simple philosophy: we will do things others wouldn't for the benefits and success of our stakeholders so that one day we are in the position to do things others can't do.

Smokeys Gardens https://smokeysgardens.com/ is a prime case in point. With an initial investment of $500 we became the largest daylily grower in the world in ten years. With the economy of scale we now have the land (70 acres), equipment, process, man-power, and other resources to plant, harvest, and ship more daylilies in a few days than our competitors could in the entire season. Success in business does not happen by accident. It starts with a clear vision and a great deal more ....... DNotes follows the same business model.

Hi gres91! Welcome to our forum.

Deferred staking and cold staking are the same thing. We have created the process ourselves, and to our knowledge nobody else has developed anything similar. It works like this:

* You have a wallet, and you want to run a staking node. This requires you to hold your coins in that wallet while it stakes in the case of all POS coins today. This means your coins are 'online' in a 'hot wallet' while you're staking, which is less secure than having them stored offline, or in an online vault who takes care of this for you. Standard staking would also mean that running a node would preclude our users from earning the additional 2% annualized payout at our DNotesVault for storing your coins there - because you can't have your coins in two places at the same time, to earn each reward.

* Cold / deferred staking allows you to get any wallet, and defer its staking privileges to another wallet with a single click. This means your coins can be in one place, but behave like they're in two places at once without any security risk. The wallet that has given away its staking privileges can be forever offline after, and doesn't need to be decrypted to broadcast the staking privileges to another wallet (extra security). Every other part of the process can be completed offline (including the actual deferral of staking command, so you can log out of / encrypt your wallet, and then take it online to broadcast the defferal to the network).

* This means that one wallet can do staking for two wallets. The staking reward is paid to each respective wallet, depending on their balances. The cold wallet receives the reward for all balances it has got the online wallet to stake on its behalf for. DNotesVault accounts will able to grant staking privileges to external wallets running nodes.

* This adds and extra layer of security for people staking on our network. It also means they can get even greater rewards by holding their coins at our secure (and insured) online vault while running an external wallet node to support our network.

We do everything we can to make things as simple as possible for our users. This is a crucial security feature in our view, and we have done all the work in the back-end so that cold staking is as simple as a single click.

Security, and simplicity.

what is the difference between deferred and cold staking? is Dnotes the only coin with deferred staking?

"It's too bad he didn't look a little farther and see what DNotes is up to. " No doubt he will.

I had never counted on good fortune or wishful speculation but the vision to take the right path with a relentless commitment to always finish what I started and delivering what I promised. It is hard work and demands a ton of patience but it has always paid off for me. That is why I wrote a book on what it takes to succeed in business - "Improve Your Odds - The Four Pillars of Business Success." https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/

P.S. DNotes and Smokeys Gardens follow the same business model and discipline. Stay tuned for more.

There has been a lot of hype lately on Ethereum replacing bitcoin. I obviously don't understand Ethereum at all, because I thought it was overvalued at $25. The author of this article gives potential investors a lot to think about before they take the plunge in something they don't understand. He also is very sceptical of the legality of the ICO craze as it stands right now.

On investing in a cryptocurrency hoping to replicate the returns of an early bitcoin investment:
"Moreover, bitcoin wasn't launched through an ICO like almost altcoins these days. Bitcoin started off with a valuation of approximately zero. It took 4–5 years of proving itself, building trust and adoption for it to grow by dozens of thousands of percent, and only then reach the market cap of a typical ICO launch today.
So, a new coin today, simply cannot have the growth potential that bitcoin had in its earliest days, and you can't even get in at the same bottom price. If that is why you are investing in ICOs, then don't."

"But today, due to the scaling issue, bitcoin is in a crisis, and altcoins have overtaken bitcoin in market cap. While many will consider me a lucky early bitcoin adopter, clearly, I'm late to the altcoin party. So, it was long overdue that I took another look at this market to see if perhaps today there is a credible alternative to bitcoin or some promising coins to help me diversify my crypto investment." - It's too bad he didn't look a little farther and see what DNotes is up to.


Analyzing Ether: A Bitcoin Investor's Skeptical Take

http://www.coindesk.com/analyzing-ether-bitcoin-investors-skeptical-take/

Thank you, TeeGee. This is a difficult subject for most people to understand. It is important to note that something, by definition, that has "no intrinsic value" does not mean that it is worthless. For all practical purposes it is worth what the next person is willing to pay for it. Especially in our industry, that value is highly speculative and only good as the game is "hot." We have often seen the traded price jumps 600% in a day and collapses by 60% the following day. The fundamental value of the coin, if any, could not have changed by that much in 24 hours. It is a pure speculation and most likely artificially manipulated. It is reasonable to assume that in the interest of consumer protection SEC must find this troubling - including the growing list of ICOs.             

The key takeaway for me in Alan's CEOCFO magazine interview, and the press release associated with it, is that it will get people to begin asking the right questions.

So few people understand what is going on, or what is relevant in the industry BECAUSE so few people are asking proactive questions in our media that help people to better understand their own actions - i.e. investment choices. Even when people do ask these right questions (or who have the answers), they are not given a platform.

For example: why is there no conversation within the industry regarding intrinsic value? Even if you have an application building network and a tokenized 'gas' for its use, that hardly drives an 'intrinsic value'. It just means you can use it as money to pay for a network, in the same way that I can spend my Bitcoin's at many online retailers - there is no value behind such applications for supporting a token's -- or currency's -- price.

Alan's interview primes readers to ask these questions. Our approach is different, and it is one that seems completely lost on an industry containing many of the greatest minds. Many people investing in the crypto-realm are great at recognizing a 'cool technology', yet have absolutely no idea about what intrinsic value is, and absolutely no idea that value creation (i.e. shared profit or value creation) is what drives this.

Fiat money -- or modern money -- has zero intrinsic value, as both a piece of paper (burning?), and as a token (infinitely printed representation of debt that we trade with one another). Cryptocurrencies generally are held up by speculative hype and dreams of making a fortune in the future. Should these dreams be considered an overestimate, no development network can save its token from falling to zero.

Some may wonder if an ICO for equity is intrinsic value? -- ABSOLUTELY NOT!

There are ICO's everywhere that are backed by nothing. People are seeking 100s of millions with nothing but a white paper or another 'me too'. Currently Ethereum is the most used token in this regard for raising ICO funding, of which all are soon dumped at the exchanges for BTC and USD which isn't great for Ether's price. This dumping makes all Ether investors proxy financiers of other people's garbage-grade investments from their community. Investments in businesses that don't even have any customers... But at least the ICO people hand over a newly issued token worth nothing (early discount price proves it!) in exchange for handing over a token with an actual tradeable 'price' that they get to spend. ICOs are crowdfunding without promise of future profits.

So what intrinsic value again? I mean it's not to say a tradeable coin won't go up in value (like say Ether in their ICO), but really... none if it is intrinsic value.

But a rapidly growing and profit generating business? Would you invest in that? What if a currency was also a share in the company and company profits were directed back into the currency network? This is called compound growth model, or positive-feedback loop that enhances and amplifies the success of any component of an ecosystem.

We are currently taking an active approach to make sure these questions are asked. Great to see our approach, the better approach, being dispensed in the mainstream media.

Blockchain Raises $40 Million in Series B Funding Round

https://dcebrief.com/blockchain-raises-40-million-in-series-b-funding-round/

We are clearly gaining significantly more media coverage worldwide. That is a very good sign. We avoided following the crowd in taking the path of least resistance. We instead picked the path consistent with our long-term vision to ensure that DNotes will have the best chances gaining mass acceptance and meeting the full functions of money backed by tangible fundamental or intrinsic value using a for profit company - DNotes Global Inc. It seems to be paying off.

Most welcome Chase. We have a few more videos of high production quality on the way. One a story, the other a graphically animated (narrated) story, both of which will be edited by professional video editors. We have a lot going on, with videos among all the other development projects we are undertaking. We appreciate your support and efforts with DNotesEDU, cryptomoms, and online presence very much!

His style is more of an on-the-spot reporting/analysis of what he sees in front of him, and I'm impressed that he gets what DNotes has to offer from a quick analysis of the website. I think the most important thing about anyone taking the time to do a DNotes video, is that we are on their radar and they will certainly pay attention to the major upgrade when they hear of it.

Our in-house videos are fantastic - thanks Tim & crew! Does anyone have any ideas where else we could post them?

I appreciate that tripjammer is putting work into showing people the various crypto beyond just LTC, ETH, BTC etc. He makes mention of stated goals and wished us very well on achieving them. He also did not put his nose up at our current scrypt algo (considering many in the alt space are using others), and mentioned that LTC currenty also use scrypt. Would have been great if he had done further research and mentioned that we have a major upgrade on the way. But overall I'm very appreciative of his effort.

My how the mainstream media has changed... Using bitcoin as a benchmark in a commodity rally prediction, must certainly be a first. I haven't done the exact math on this, but I figure this would make coffee futures around $3 million per pound, since bitcoin has generally been rallying since 2010.

Ethereum Flash Crash Causes Price to Plummet Nearly 100% in Seconds

https://dcebrief.com/ethereum-flash-crash-causes-price-to-plummet-nearly-100-in-seconds/

Thank you coin@coin. We are doing a lot behind the scenes right now to get DNotes 2.0 upgrade out as soon as we can. More announcements will follow as we progress. Release is planned for September, and will be a massive upgrade on our current blockchain, and make it a technological equal (or even better) to many top crypto as the first step towards becoming a leader in the space.

With each step comes the commitment to take another.

I haven't come across tripjammer before, but I like his style. His experience of exploring the DNotes website was very similar to mine and I loved how he hovered over the LinkedIn links for the team, but opted to 'feel' what they are like by looking at their eyes. Honesty pays dividends every single day, and does shine through your features as you get older.

Thanks for the compliment Alan. I passed it on to my partner, who appreciated it. And she really understands how such a simple thing could require so many iterations. Her company tagline is "Making the world a more beautiful place—one document at a time."
