Wow! It's great to see everyone's hard work starting to pay off. 

Yeah congratulations! Hopefully future dnotes will be better.

Great turn out at the Blockchain conference, and got to meet a lot of great people. Below is Matthew Roszak, the event organizer and key speaker.

It has been a good past couple of days. Nick it was great to finally meet you in person after so many conversations online.

Welcome Bitcoin_Newbie! Appreciate the email. I will get back to you shortly.

I know where you're coming from TwoCorn. We know Bitcoin has been booming lately, and the raised awareness has boosted a lot of alt-coin, but what's happening for DNotes is clearly more than piggy-backing on the BTC rise. I looked at the USD value of DNotes and Bitcoin and how they changed over the last month. I used data from here:

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dnotes/
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

And while Bitcoin finished the last 31 days 164% higher than where it started, DNotes smashed right through that increase by achieving a thrilling 1,038% jump in value. So just to rub that jump in a little. If you invest $10 today, you'll get yourself around 40 DNotes. If you'd done the same $10 investment just 31 days ago, you'd have scored around 418 of them. And enjoyed an extra month's excitement watching their value climb.

|Date	|BTC	|NOTE
|10 May 17	|$1,736.09	|$0.023916

|Percentage	|164%	|1038%

Cheers for that. Sending a mail now.

Hey team,

New to the forum, but have been aware of Dnotes since the start of 2015. At the time i was studying in Wellington and happened to randomly meet Tim one day. I overheard him talking about the future of money, blockchain, crypto coins etc. and was also paying close attention to the price of BTC, as i was sitting on 30 BTC i bought for $400 NZD a year or so before. 99% of people wouldn't have had a clue about what we were talking about, about 50% of them still wouldn't. I started talking to Tim about DNotes, and got to hear all about the CRISP programme, the vision DNotes had, and work they were doing around this. 2 1/2 years later, i'm still investing, and it is really great to see how far your company has come. A large group of my friends are all into trading on Poloniex, and DNotes and it's clear Dnotes are definitely worth holding on to. I'm looking forward to hearing what DNOTES 2.0 has in store for us, until then, cheers for the hard work - those beers are well deserved!

Hey Bitcoin_Newbie

Thanks heaps for the kind words! The project has been carefully planned since day one, with the goal that doing things the right way for long enough will ultimately lad to other people taking notice. We're very grateful and proud to have these efforts begin to be realized. If you could send DNotes a personal message, or send a message to [email protected], we would be happy to speak with you.

Beautiful quotation that is. Actually doing a lot more reading about this project, I would love to be part of it. I am a serious developer with more than 13 yrs of commercial programming experience. Hopefully one day I can work with you all in this wonderful project. Good luck guys!

After a few Asahi beers (thanks Tim and Joe for pushing the envelope here!), pitch perfect weather, witnessing some sweet street performances, and those beers.....I was perfectly amenable to spending a small fortune shopping with my daughter (the photog for this pic) on Michigan Avenue that evening. Not on clothes or nonsense like that, but rather a bunch of Frank Lloyd Wright pieces from the CA Foundation store. My fav is the "Tree of Life" woodcut Addy convinced me to get.

"I think almost every great investment has a contrarian check. A lot of people will think that’s a bad investment. But you have a good reason for thinking it’s a good investment and it will get to scale. Those are typically the unusually great investments."

DNotes has cracked the top 100 in CoinMarketCap! I actually would like it to slow down a bit while I can still get some at a low price. 

Perfect way to execute a project. Steady rise in DNote value without big P&D signifies how strong the project has laid its foundation. Good work devs!

Welcome to DNotes bitcoin_newbie!

"But I am very surprised - how is this so undervalued in the market when there are other coins with not this much functionality that are higher up the marketcap ladder?"

That is the million dollar question. The team purposely kept a low profile until they had results to deliver, and never engaged in any of the 'pumping up the price' antics. Standing back and watching the mistakes made by others in this ever-changing industry, is a very clever way to get things right without wasting a lot of time and resources. 

I have been following this project and looks really amazing. I made an investment into Dnotes immediately after I did my full research. But I am very surprised - how is this so undervalued in the market when there are other coins with not this much functionality that are higher up the marketcap ladder? Very strange.

It has been a long journey of hard work with relentless commitment to accomplish a clearly articulated Nobel vision of building a trusted digital currency for everyone worldwide to participate and benefit from its success. Since its founding on February 18, 2014 we had done so much, supported with massive written material, along long list of verifiable projects it may be interesting to take a snapshot or republish some of our more memorable posts. Let me the start of with one:

Do you know that 295 DNotes Retirement accounts with a savings of 6,597,995 DNotes is worth US$1,001,318.51 at the time of writing?

CRISP For Retirement - A General Overview
 
CRISP for Retirement is an unstructured and self-directed plan, using DNotes as the investment vehicle to supplement retirement savings. Re-occurring savings, in any amount, may be added at any time. This savings plan can be started with any amount of DNotes by opening an account at DNotesVault with an expanded registration at the CRISP for Retirement landing page.
 
DNotesVault is a web wallet for DNotes, available to all DNotes' stakeholders, at no cost. All coins at DNotes Vault are guaranteed with a coin match program held in a separate cold storage wallet, in a different location. In the event that the DNotesVault is compromised and your coins have gone missing, 100% of your lost DNotes will be replaced through a guarantee fund with a verifiable balance always in excess of the total DNotesVault deposit.
 
How many times have you heard this or something similar: "Retire, are you kidding, I'll have to work till I can't stand up!" How many times have you said that or something similar?
 
One of the hardest things we do throughout our working years is plan for the future. So much time and effort go into just getting by that we forget most income is finite and that we will need to put some away to carry us through our later years. Unlike most structured retirement funds and pension systems, CRISP for Retirement is directed by YOU, not some fund managers or pension system trustees that may well make bad investments with your future.
 
Here, you control how much you save and the market, in general, controls what those savings will be worth in 5, 10, 20 or 30 years. It's simple, uncomplicated and you can see your plan any time you want to. You can add DNotes at any time, in any amount. Restrictions apply for withdrawing prior to the expiration of your chosen "locked in date" but, there are means available to request early withdrawal of your DNotes if needed.
 
Here at DNotes, we truly believe crypto/digital currency is the future. If you do as well, or, just want to diversify your traditional investments, then put away some DNotes for those often spoken of "Golden Years". Everyone at DNotes is ready and willing to help you.
 
Keep in mind that DNotes is the most stable digital currency among over 500 coins in the cryptocurrency space. It has also been one of the best performers based on return on investment. $100 invested in DNotes in March 2014, when it was first traded was worth over $2,000 by the end of 2014. Although there are no assurances that the value of DNotes will continue to appreciate at the same rate, or significantly lower, there are reasonable expectations that being an early stage investment and its strong growth path, DNotes has the potential to deliver potential high rate of returns. High potential returns investments are typically associated with high risk. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose in case of a total loss.
 
Bitcoin and DNotes are among the leaders in the new digital currency industry expected to be the next greatest technology revolution since the internet. This is an early stage or ground floor investment opportunity often associated with high risk for potential high returns. Seasoned investors typically budget no more than 10% of their portfolio in their asset allocation for high risk investments. We strongly recommend that you consider doing the same. CRISP for Retirement should only be funded as a supplemental savings vehicle to your overall retirement savings.
 
DNotesVault is a secure web wallet to store your DNotes at no cost to stakeholders. DNotesVault does not engage in buying, selling, or exchange any of fiat currency, digital currency or any property.
 
Buying DNotes safely online may take some time if you're not already involved in cryptocurrency trading. Consider this process like setting up a brand new bank account, in that once you are setup, it is easy to use.

Thanks for the posts, Tim. Very productive day. The ribbon cutting conference at the Chicago Illinois Blockchain Center was well attended. I had the opportunity to catch up with some old friends and met a few new ones. As DNotes becomes significantly better established, it is slowly getting noticed by more people. This is still an early stage ground floor opportunity. We are barely just "off the gate". However, we are beginning to feel some sustained momentum. We appreciate all the support we have been getting. Thank you all.

I agree with you Chase, that even $4.50 locks people out. As for a guess at the BTC's transaction charge ceiling, I can't even take a swing at it. But here's my reasoning: Bitcoin won't want to change their codebase while they are on the top of the tree. But as crypocurrencies gain widespread recognition, and people start installing crypto ATMs and accepting alt-coins for small product purchases, they will turn to the coins that cost less per transaction. If at this stage the price of bit-coin starts to drop, they will have to update their codebase.

If you are number one just because you were the first, and so have more of an aura of legitimacy, but fail to offer more in code or support, then as soon as you lose the number one spot, the reason for confidence evaporates. I'm sure the team supporting Bitcoin know this and will act before the transaction fee harms their top position. So I believe it will be fear of desertion that will cap the BTCs transaction fee.

Thanks Tim, that is very helpful!

You're right, $4.55 is a long way from $100. The wealthy may claim they would be willing to pay up to $100 fee (because they think bitcoin is worth it), but they are certainly thinking only of themselves with comments like that. Which users is Adam Back speaking of when saying he "bets users would too" (be willing to pay $100 per transaction)? Over 70% of the world's population lives on less than $10 a day, with around 3 billion people living on less than $2 a day. Even at $4.55 per transaction, how many people can afford that fee even for an occasional transfer of value? So much for financial inclusion.

The possibility of extremely high fees in the future is certainly something for businesses to consider before going "all in" with bitcoin. Assuming we are at a really low level of transactions per day in this early stage of bitcoin adoption, any guesses on how high the fee could go?

Hello all! Apologies for the forum absence. Alan (DYNA), Joe (DNotes) and myself met up with MiningHabit for some food and a drink. Then we met another supporter, Sam who works for a fund in downtown Chicago at the Illinois Blockchain Center conference, as well as many other power players in the industry.


Joe, Tim, MiningHabit, and Alan.

Am I missing something?

I tried to do a deeper analysis of BTC transaction price over the last few years, based on a .csv file from:
https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?timespan=30days

But the data in the file does not match the data on the website. For example, on June 6th 2017 the website says there were 297,416 transactions. In the .csv file for the same date, there are four records with different time stamps during that day:

06/06/17 02:28     68443215.5
06/06/17 09:02     65889910
06/06/17 15:36     69628230
06/06/17 22:10     77705274.5
These total:    281,666,630
Compared to:        297,416 on the website that supplied the .csv file.

That's a massive difference in the number of transactions per day, and they can't both be right. Because I don't have a feel for this data, can someone please point me in the right direction?
