What major issues with the existing financial system can DNotes solve?

Half of the world's population does not have banking access and is therefore excluded from participating in economic growth.

That is a big one for sure. There are many initiatives to provide people everywhere in the world access to computers and internet, it will be nice if we can help the cause with DNotes.

Obstacle - Combating and rising above the bad reputation bitcoin has (whether it is deserved or not).

Seems like when ever anyone is accused of something the old saying "innocent until proven guilty" is never the case. Once the accusation is out there the mentality is "if he/she is accused of it they did it". It is unfortunate that this mentality seems to cross the lines into ALL in the industry. Positive PR is lacking across the board as well. Just look at our media, if it is a bad story or if something happened that was bad that gets the headline. It is not the story of someone doing something wonderful. That story gets buried deep into the broadcast or print. That is a huge problem with our media today and has been for quite some time. Just look at how Bitcoin and the likes are presented. The negative is presented rather than the positive. The headlines you see are how some scam coin ripped someone off, not that DNotes is working to make retirement, education and lives better. It is high time the positives start making the headlines! Just think what society would be like if the media stopped promoting "the bad" and started promoting "the good".

Very true, negative stories often become sensationalized to drive traffic and viewers while positive and helpful stories fall under the radar.
