Thanks for all these infos. I just saw the recent rise of the value of DNotes and got into this now... Will read about DNotes.

Thank you for your answer. I know that DNotes exists that long. Just wondered about the 2.0 at the end. Therefore I asked.

No. It is the current DNotes swapped one for one using the convenience of DNotesVault. DNotes 2.0 involves significant technology upgrades coded in C#, switching from Proof of Work (POW) to Proof of Stake (POS). We want to make POS the easiest to participate in our industry. We are also committed to 100% conversion to C# with many innovative applications for the corporate and consumer markets. For more details, read Chapter 15 of my book "Improve Your Odds - The Four Pillars of Business Success." https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/

Hi Noeeel, and welcome to the forum.

DNotes has been trading for about 3 and a bit years now on exchanges, having been created in Feb 2014. This forum is to announce and inform the community on the changes we are making regarding our upgraded platform. You can see we are traded at Poloniex under "NOTE".

Feel free to ask any questions.

Is DNotes 2.0 a new coin?

“Whether or not you are regulated by the SEC, you still have fiduciary duties to your investors. If you want this industry to flourish, protection of investors should be at the forefront.” Quote from SEC official.

That statement is quite telling. It is difficult to speak for the industry but at DNotes we do believe that we have the fiduciary duties to protect our stakeholders.

Trust is invaluable in financial services. We are positioning to be an active player in this arena and firmly committed to build a trusted brand.
I am deeply encouraged to see that our hard-work for the last three years is finally gaining some traction, though we still have a long way to go. DNotes is more than just another digital currency. It is created to be a digital currency with a purpose – to fulfill the full functions of money and be accessible to everyone. Hence, we have been building the most essential ecosystems that will actively engage and involve the corporate world and consumers around the world. That, we believe is the path to mass adoption of digital currency as the future of money.

If you create a platform that is indispensable to small and medium sized businesses, there will be full-scale revolt against the larger corporations by everyday people who could now "compete" with the entrenched interests of multinationals. Of course these large entities are the ones who invest heavily in political capital - the most profitable asset you can purchase, with a more than ten-fold return expected for every dollar used to buy a politician. There may well be regulatory efforts to quell this competition from smaller players because "it wouldn't be fair" to corporate interests if Joe and Jane Six-pack were suddenly able to raise 1-20 million dollars easily online and develop the next Snapchat / Facebook / accounting software. One of the most effective means of protest is the boycott. If enough people decide that particular multinationals are unethical, they will cease to use their products, which would be easy in an environment where alternatives have been funded through easy access to crowdfunding capital. This would be a logical conclusion if -- and only if -- people are prepared to follow their stated values.

One possible scenario would be to make collaboration with multinational subsidiaries for crowdfunding absent VC a crucial component of their future business success. Another would be to have an entrenched industry player rise to preeminence that offers ICO services like DNotes' 'NextGen VC' to reach a comparable size to mitigate or compete against large corporate social influence. It wouldn't be beyond the scope of reason to figure there would be assets created to fund huge PR drives to raise funds and or help ICO-based businesses compete in the media narrative and political landscape against any large multinationals that try to flex their muscle. We operate with the expectation of unreasonable corporate political influence in the future.

Thanks HORT, and welcome back! How are you doing?

Welcome Phil, appreciate you joining us on the forum. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments anytime.

This was a nice article, very Silicon Valley Venture Capital point of view-ish, but a simple succinct piece, nonetheless.

Here's the bit I'm interested in crowdsourcing some wisdom on..."While the potential of token launches remains vague, though powerful, almost everyone I spoke to at the New York conferences agreed on one thing: The US government would crack down on the offerings eventually."

I mean, I think it's obvious on its face that ICOs will undergo deep scrutiny from the US regulatory apparatus, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If we are going to "Cross the Chasm" into the mainstream...mainstream folks will need some protection from scamcoins and other such nefarious things.

But there is a broader question here....what happens when the world of centralization really gets at loggerheads with the decentralized world made possible by blockchain based innovations?

We aren't just talking government, we are talking the entire neoliberal world order. Google, Facebook, and the entire Silicon Valley of idea of looking to monopolize markets will bring its power. Forget the SEC, when Goldman Sachs and Google start losing power, how does this play out?

Definitely welcoming thoughts here; haven't thought out this conflict hardly at all.

If anyone would like a DNotes genesis coin. Cheers!

Hey Phil,

Welcome to our new forum! It's great to see so many old faces returning to check in. A lot has been going on, and we're just following the mantra that "success beings as a process".

Hello DNote world,

Similar to felixir, I've been tracking DNotes for a while since TeeGee introduced me. Great to see all the development work and soon, once a few work commitments die down, I'd like to get involved.

PD

I find myself in complete agreement MiningHabit.

Once upon a time I posted the following video in our old forum, that I highly recommend people watch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO8MwBZl-Vc

In it, a lone man begins dancing at a festival, looking somewhat ridiculous among his peers. For a time he is alone, before more people gradually begin following. Eventually a tipping point is realized, and sheep mentality dictates to the human psyche that it is better to be involved in the next big thing, once it is already becoming the next big thing - because everybody is already getting involved in it.

Crypto has reached this stage. And from my observation, DNotes has too. People have begun to see the value inherent in our ecosystem, and the future earning potential DNotes as a currency holds with the backing of a profit-generating company funding its development, and sustaining its value. Right now, it is becoming preferred for everybody to get involved because everybody else has already made it clear that is the 'next big thing'. This decision was not rational in nature, or they would have come in when the value was logically obvious. The decision was made when everybody else finally caught on to the value, i.e. everybody else decided for them what they would bother to look into. When they did look into crypto they saw the value, and are left kicking themselves as to why they didn't join in sooner.

The good news? Well, it is still early days. This is still a ground-floor investment. We have a long way to go, and there are many more people still to join.

HI Zahidmoon, welcome to the forum.  What sort of equipment are you using?

Picking a pool, you will want one that is likely closer to you geographically to ensure a nice fast connection. Then you will want to make sure they have a decent hashrate to ensure you will be able to find blocks fairly quickly.

Neat! We seem to know many of the same startup people in Illinois. I noticed that he's helped start Tally Capital and had to comment on the About Us story explaining the name  (https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/7956119/). Having spent some formative years abroad in the UK, I can't believe I never knew about the Tally system! Ya learn something new everyday, indeed.

You sir, are a smart, smart man. Allow me a little leeway and meandering a bit to explain exactly why.

Sadly, many (almost all) friends and acquaintances of mine have not heeded my pleas for them to "get some skin in the game." But I can understand why. Our national impulses are towards stasis. We literally hate losses WAY more than equivalent gains. Losing hurts way more than similar winning. I was a shitty hedge fund trader because I get too emotional about my investments. Most people do, which is why probabilistically structured zero-sum games like day-trading and poker are profitable in the long-term for only 5% of people.

I was tutored by a luminary in the poker game back in the day on how to apply the Nash Equilibrium to single table tournament poker (and with a little finesse, multi-table tourneys). That's great. But lots of people (relatively speaking) can understand that stuff. That didn't make a player special, or especially profitable.

Here's why, by way of example: I was the chipleader going into the final table of a 22,000 person tournament with life-changing top three money, and had just outplayed and eliminated the #1 ranked online player in the world a few moments back to amass a lot of chips. I was locked in and playing some of the best cards of my life. And then I outplayed players in 2 different hands right after the final table started, to get them to commit all their chips to the middle when 80-90% underdogs. I got horribly horribly unlucky in both spots and crashed out in 9th for ok money. That's poker. There is a certain class of people who are rare, who can literally play their next hand with completely optimal rationality. Me? I went on tilt and played like a tool at large stake cash games and lost the lion's share of my profit.

The point? I am not slating my friends for not being fast followers of my altcoin strategies. But I wish more would. Because they would, right now, be able to pay off their mortgages with altcoin gains if they listened to me. But they didn't. And most won't until all of this is mainstream.

So coming back around to my first statement: good on you for taking the leap. And I deeply, existentially mean that.

I'm big into philosophy. I actually named by firstborn son, Soren, after my hero Kierkegaard. He once wrote in the Concluding Unscientific Postscript:“What if, rather than speaking or dreaming of an absolute beginning, we speak of a leap?”

At some point in the human experience, all the reason in the world doesn't matter. Because we aren't reasonable beings. In fact the entire field of economics is based off of creating this idealized version of man, the "homo economicus" who makes totally rational decisions all of the time. (side note: this harvard white paper is one of the best things I've ever read about the upcoming AI revolution. AI literally perfects extant economic theory: https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/25622971/_aiEcon.pdf

We use reason as a fundamental tool, and far, far better than any other species, to be sure. But as Einstein said “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

And so, given all of modernity weighing itself upon you: to truly, intuitively take on board a given point of view back before it had much rational merit in terms of popularity.....you deserve an absurd amount of credit.

Hey felixir!

Great to have you visit our forum. It has indeed been a long time since I saw you and got you to sign up to our "CRISP for Students program". The funny thing about the program, is that the 500 DNotes you received were probably worth some 2-3 dollars max at the time. Now those same 500 are worth more than one 100 US dollars. Not bad for just signing up an email account online huh! Back at that time, it wasn't common at all for people to hold Bitcoin, and I was surprised to hear you had some.

Do continue to drop us a line time to time!

That's some pretty interesting figures that you've gone and produced for us TimMarsh. I appreciate the effort. It is an important trend to keep track of, especially the showing that altcoin rises aren't necessarily off the back of Bitcoin - often many people sell out when Bitcoin goes through a rise, and now many people sell out with the expectation of jumping back in after a BTC price rise and altcoin price drop.
