I am trying to create a new Electrum wallet using a list of private keys. I'm entering one key per line, and once I get all the keys in, the NEXT button stays grayed out. Is there a special way to separate DNotes private keys in Electrum so that the software will recognize the keys?

Update: I experimented a bit and I can see that as soon as I input a regular DNotes address (to make a read only wallet), that NEXT button immediately lights up so it's available to click on. But even when I enter only one private key and make sure there are no extraneous spaces, the NEXT button stays grayed out.

What am I missing?

Update 2: I went ahead and created a read only wallet by using all my addresses and that seems to work except that the wallet is stuck at a day behind, or seems to be. It's showing no transactions from today, even though there have been quite a few minting instances. I thought that since it doesn't have to download the block chain, syncing would be instant. Is there a way to force a sync on this wallet?

Also, does the Electrum wallet export transactions?

Update 3: I checked the network and it seems to be on the correct block, but it doesn't seem to be catching all the minting transactions, at least not the recent ones. I'm looking for a way to keep track of my balance and obtain good records that I can export, but that doesn't seem to be happening with the Electrum wallet.

This is from a electrum wallet.
Try this for the importing of a private key.
Click File > New/Restore
Name your wallet
Enter this private key
L1bFdKHgpxoHSSNniYf8pjZfUA43TzFLGk7vLBgQdJcBibzhRvUL
Click Next.
That is one I just created and put 10 DNotes in. Let me know if that works for you.

Syncing of the blockchain is instant, unless the electrum server was behind. It is up to date right now.
I would also check your wallet against the block explorer, to ensure it matches as well: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/

So I checked with one my wallet addresses and see it's not picking up, at least some of the transactions in watch only mode. The electrum server is either missing some information (need to rebuild database) or isn't reading certain transactions. We will have to look at it further to see why.

Edit: I'll have to get back to you on transferring private keys from a different wallet.

So I did what you said and imported the private key you posted into a new wallet and that worked just fine. I notice it starts with an L. I don't have my private keys right in front of me at the moment, but I'm pretty sure they all start with V. Maybe Electrum doesn't like that. So, it may be that I need a way to "convert" private keys that start with V into private keys that start with L?

The wallet is definitely not up to date on all the transactions, so I guess that's something for you guys to look into.

In the mean time, does Electrum have an export transactions feature? That would be the most useful feature of a read only wallet.

I thought I needed to "rebuild" my qt wallet in the sense that I needed to start with a brand new wallet and import the private keys. I started doing that and the process was so slow that I thought something else was wrong. So I downloaded the entire blockchain from the beginning and that sped things up. But then while importing private keys I noticed that the time stamp on transactions was not correct, and that would definitely wreak havoc on trying to record my transactions. So, I wondered if maybe the blockchain had gotten corrupted, meaning the original wallet.dat file might be fine after all. So I loaded up that wallet and then checked each balance against the block chain and it all checked out. But it was in between noticing the new wallet didn't have the correct timestamps and figuring out that my old wallet.dat was just fine after all, that I thought of Electrum and gave it a whirl, hoping it would both accurately record transactions and be able to export them. But I ran into issues with importing private keys and now the server not being up to date on read only transactions. So at the moment I'm back to using my qt wallet as a "read only" as in I haven't unlocked it, just using it to watch... But I do have Electrum installed so am happy to help test anything you need with it Smiley

New YouTube Video -- Using DNotes Pay For Pay-Per-Period Services

Demonstrating the use case of DNotes pay for pay-per-period subscription-based services. We show how software can be purchased on a casual, per-use, or ongoing basis charged at small fractional levels. We will be following up with another video that shows how our trading bot can be used.

Check it out here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9myDnwR7SF0&t=

Great job on the video Tim!

DNotes Pay, Pay-Per-Period is a unique way for software developers to sell their software. Even if you are not a software developer I recommend watching the video demonstration.

Pay-Per-Period, especially when dealing with smaller transactions, doesn't make sense when using traditional payment processing methods. This model opens up new opportunities for developers that will make their software more competitive in the marketplace.

Some of the benefits include:
Makes it possible to accept many small payments instead of paying a fee on every transaction and losing most of your profit to the payment processing companies.
Makes it possible to accept payments directly from the software without the need for a server side payment processing.
Payments are made directly from one party to another without the need for a middle man.
Makes it possible for customers to use software on their terms.
Makes it possible for the customer to test the software before paying full price.
& more

I'm sure many of you can relate to this scenario if you ever needed software for a one time use, or software that you might only use once in a while, and couldn't justify the price or justify locking yourself into some subscription agreement. So you either try to find some alternative, open source or free, or you just skip what it is you are working on. But imagine instead, you could just purchase access to that software for just 1 day for a very small fee? Would you be much more likely to purchase and use that software?

This is something a software developer can use and significantly benefit from today. Although there is still a fee if you want to exchange your DNotes into cash, but it can be a single fee for hundreds or thousands of transactions instead of paying hundreds or thousands of individual fees.

The source code for integration, in C# is available here:
https://github.com/DNotesCoin/dnotespay-sw-poc



As you may have noticed in the video, we also have a trading bot for Stocks.exchange that we are going to release as the first program to work with DNotes Pay Pay-Per-Period. They are working on their trading API live for the next 30 days, so we won't be able to release it until the API is stable.

The commissioner's comments are encouraging, but I generally wouldn't have much faith in the ability of the actual decision-maker ability to think through and come to rational conclusions. A decision like this is normally down to corruption or incompetence (being wrong). Since the commissioner has spoken out and made some rational conclusions of fact that shouldn't be difficult to arrive at (except for her staff), we can deductively remove the former as an option. It is only a matter of time until bitcoin etf's. They will keep trying.

Great work on the interview. I throughly enjoyed it.

Those rational conclusions would be a lot easier for bureaucrats if they were able to better respect their roles. That was part of this commissioner's overall argument, in fact - that the SEC's decision represented an expansion of the agency's regulatory role beyond what was intended by its empowering acts of Congress. She apparently recognizes that the SEC's merit-based assessment represents a serious threat to individual choice, which is a core element of personal freedom. Rather than assessing whether the current markets can meet the basic threshold required for satisfying existing law, the Commission instead substituted its own judgment about the nature and maturity of those markets - unwisely denying those investors the opportunity to invest in digital currency on their own terms.

I agree that ETFs are all-but inevitable. It's just unfortunate that the path to greater liberty and opportunity so often runs through the confused and tangled woods of an unelected and all-too-often unenlightened bureaucracy.

Great Interview Alan!

So I was looking at the dnotescoin.com, I dont see anything about the payment network. I think it may be a little easier for people to find that information to get started or at least understand it enough to feel like contacting you for more info.

just a thought,
Daniel

I think their waiting for more data from the field on performance and such. Won't be long now I'm sure...

oh gotcha I figured there must be a reason, that makes since tho

Appreciate the suggestion mrbum805 always glad to hear from you. It is on our radar, but there are a few challenges yet and things we need to decide on, aside from what RJF mentioned. For now they will remain as announcements in our blog/websites/social and github as script resources for those that would like to integrate them where they see fit. This is more like the alpha release of the scripts. We will likely have a section on our homepage dedicated to DNotes Pay once we have a couple more options and move it out of alpha. I could throw something up, but I think the blog and our announcements serve that purpose well enough for now.

First, what is the minimum necessary scripts that we need so that the majority of people can integrate DNotes Pay into their websites. As of right now, we have scripts that are unique and serve specific purposes, some of which meet needs that no other payment solution can. Such as automatic digital delivery of digital products, and software pay per period. They can be used in many other ways as well, but not the ideal solutions for many applications. To really meet the needs of majority we need a custom cart integration script, maybe our own full cart script, and integrations into the most popular shopping carts.

Second we need to figure out how to direct people to the proper scripts that fit their need. A decision tree or categorized sections may be the best options, but we haven't fully decided yet. The decision tree grouped by product offering might look like this:

Software / Digital products / Information / Services / Physical products.

If they select software - Is it one time purchase or would you like to use pay per period.
If it's one time purchase, do they have a website to accept the payment or would they like to integrate it into their software.
If it's pay per period, you can direct them to the appropriate pay per period script for their supported language.

Each of the categories will have multiple options.

At any rate, we haven't focused much energy on creating the section as we know it's not quite ready to be created yet. It is beginning to take shape even as I attempt to explain it here.


If I may, would it be possible to have an escrow feature built into the plugin? I know some people are skeptical about buying products/services from unknown individuals. An escrow feature can eliminate some of that fear. Buyer will deposit NOTE coins into escrow account and payment will only be released by a vetted DNotes moderator (small fee charged by moderator for time) once the seller delivers on his/her promise. I would give anything for this feature Grin

I love that idea and I would love to have an escrow system that solves the escrow problem, the problem to solve there is dispute mitigation. That is quite a challenge for freelancers and employers. Employer puts up the escrowed funds based on an agreement of work or service delivered. The freelancers job is to meet the requirements and the employer can release the escrow whenever the work or service is completed to their satisfaction. If the work is not delivered or there is a dispute in the work or service delivered then we need a moderator or a group of moderators to determine if the criteria was actually met. In a dispute, someone always looses though.

Who gets to be a moderator and how are they compensated for their time? How is the dispute process structured to minimize losses on both sides?

Having our own shopping cart that is easy to implement on all major platforms would definitely be a winner I think. As it seems quite clear, with so many different product types and delivery options, there are a wide variety of scripts that will need to be coded to cover all of these uses. Having our own cart would make it very simple for software developers and other people that sell other types of product.

New Video Uploaded To Our YouTube -- How To Accept DNotes On Your WordPress Website

A video tutorial showing how to install and use the DNotes Pay WordPress plugin that showcases our new automated payment scripts. DNotes Pay is one of the, if not the world's first solutions that completely removes middlemen in the payment process, while also requiring no specialist knowledge nor hardware to setup.  

Check it out at the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqKmqHiIXGk

I saw this one. Great work on developing a WordPress plugin aimed at eCommerce. This is going to be a game-changer for DNotes. We just need a few large eCommerce sites based on the WordPress platform to start using the plugin and bam, DNotes will find itself a new and lucrative market. If I may, I would recommend contacting RedBubble, Society6 and Threadless and perhaps find out if they would be willing to integrate the DNotes automated payment scripts into their platform. Keep up the good work Grin

Great idea, these sites where people can open their own shop for their own designs and creations? That could be a good market for the beginning integration into the commercial world. Brings to mind creator contribution systems like Patreon as well.
I agree! These videos will initially create global integration. Relying on these videos, people can open their own shop to create their own designs and creations. But I think video is not enough, they need something so they can use the technology of the project.
