Technical question to the DNotes team from a long term investor:

Is OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY (BIP65) implemented in the DNotes 2.0 code?

If so, it makes DNotes interoperable with many other coins via atomic swaps and can be traded with them on BlockNet's decentralized exchange. No sign-up fees, no delistings, no KYC, no limits and 100% full ownership over your private keys. Interoperability makes it possible to pay with DNotes for services on other blockchains such as the Syscoin Blockmarket or Siacoins data storage.

Quote from Alan Yong Today:

I am overwhelmed, as expected, in our funding campaign. We are generating a lot of interest but sorting them out to refine our target is very demanding and time consuming. It will continue to take 100% of my time with an enormous amount of hard work. As long as I remained focused, I am confident that we will get funded.  

DNotes was founded 4 ½ years ago based on many guiding principles that help us change the nasty culture of our industry to one of trust and respect that we all treasure as an important component for DNotes to build an inclusive trusted brand.

One of our guiding principles in community management is simple - be respectful and fair but “Do Not Engage.”

Any reasonable question must be acknowledged and answered politely and tactfully. In rare cases, a second clarification is appropriate. That is when it ends. Anything else is unproductive and damaging to all our stakeholders.  

We take pride for being respectful, trustworthy, accommodating, inclusive, and productive. Because of those guiding principles we will always be advancing forward. Let’s march on.

Definitely something for people to keep in mind. For those of modest means, frugality is essential. But even those with greater means can benefit from being responsible stewards of wealth.

"I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living."  –John D. Rockefeller

"Frugality may be termed the daughter of Prudence, the sister of Temperance, and the parent of Liberty."  –Samuel Johnson

"There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no independence quite so important, as living within your means." –Calvin Coolidge

"I have learnt to seek my happiness in limiting my desires, rather than attempting to satisfy them." –John Stuart Mill

"A penny saved is a penny earned." –Benjamin Franklin

Hi doctorlw1, our bigger short term projects currently are:
The Reg D 506 (c) funding. Alan is dedicating all of his available time to.  
Still working on additional modules for DNotes Pay. Once the custom cart integration is complete, the core modules and examples will be mostly complete, after that it will be specific integrations into eCommerce platforms and carts.
The trading bot mentioned in the DNotes Pay Software video (stocks.exchange is actively working on their API, once they are done we can release it demo DNotes Pay Software with a real product).
Cold staking, release TBD, along with some considerations for other blockchain upgrades for the next fork.
Four Pillars audio book narrated by Tim, dual purpose as a video/marketing tool.

Some of the smaller projects include minor upgrades and fixes to electrum wallet, explorer, and DNotesVault back end upgrades.

We probably need to consider having a place where sellers and service providers using DNotes Pay can be listed as well. Open to any suggestions.

Our plates are overfull, be sure to help us engage the community and conversation!

anything big coming through the pipeline soon?

Low Cost Living As An Alternative To A Big Paycheck
https://dnotesedu.com/2018/08/low-cost-living-as-an-alternative-to-a-big-paycheck/

Greatly appreciated Sun Sky! DNotes is a big bold idea with massive and far reaching implications. We are dedicated to driving DNotes to become an inclusive digital currency for the benefit of everyone in global commerce. That said, it can be difficult to quickly and effectively communicate how the strategy and all of the components tie together to meet that goal. So it's great to hear that the direction is making sense.

This is very exciting news. DNotes team is amazing, quickly grasping why we are going this direction. thank you for your amazing work.

What's next?

PHP script for custom shopping cart integration.

You're right, Amadeus. A stable value is critical for any coin that intends to gain mass acceptance and adoption. How many of us would feel comfortable relying on a currency if its value could dramatically fluctuate from hour to hour and day to day? That would make it almost impossible to use for normal commerce, since your wealth could literally be halved while you slept. Imagine going to bed with $1,000 in your checking account and waking up the next morning to find that your account's only worth $500. Meanwhile, that $900 mortgage check you mailed two days ago is about to bounce like a super ball.

Yikes.

That's Bitcoin right now. Great as a speculative investment if you never bet more than you can afford to lose. But as a payment option? A reliable savings and long-term investment choice? Not so much. Not yet, and maybe not ever.

Fortunately, DNotes has had a long-term strategy to achieve stability, intrinsic value, and trust right from the start. And if the last four years have shown us anything, it's that the DNotes team and community see obstacles as nothing more than milestone markers on the road to success.

Coinbase to Allow UK Customers to Buy Crypto Using British Pound

Appreciate it! That intrinsic value and the cross ownership model are some of the core components of DNotes. How could a currency reach mass adoption without a dedicated effort to push its growth and value. There are many models, and many others are left to chance, but I believe DNotes has the most viable model for success in reaching mass adoption over the long term.

I agree on that. As long volatility is so high Bitcoin is in my opinion more speculative investment that serious way of payment. There are many who are trading it on a daily basis and many who are holding it, in hope for its value to rise. But there are few who are actually using it as a mean of payment.

I know that DNotes has plan to build an intrinsic value, a coin which would in the future had pretty stable value. That would be great advantage to mainstream users. I know that there are still many obstacles until then, but I have seen how the team is working and I'm sure that in the future that goal can be reached!
